How to iOS 6-ify Your Lock ScreenPosted January 31st, 2016When Apple introduced iOS 7 in 2013, part of the changes included a major visual redesign. Although the new appearance is still superior to competing platforms in my opinion, a number of people still prefer the iOS 6 and earlier design. That design featured skeuomorphic effects, icons that had a 3D appearance, gradient menus and icons, and overall had a more polished and professional look.Of course, iOS does not have a user-accessible file system, and I strongly do not suggest jailbreaking, so customizing the appearance of iOS is not very feasible. However, there is a way to make your lock screen look more like the iOS 6 and earlier lock screen using a creative solution.A comparison of the lock screen, with iOS 6 on the left, and later iOS versions on the rightThis is actually fairly simple to do, and can apply to any wallpaper you wish to use. All you are doing is putting an overlay image over the wallpaper that you want to use for the lock screen. This should be done on your computer, though I suppose if you have a comparable image editing program on your mobile device, it could still work. To begin, download one of the images below. The left one is for 4-inch screens (iPhone 5-series and 5th or 6th generation iPod touch), and the right one is for 4.7 or 5.5-inch screens (iPhone 6 or 6S, including Plus models). I'll have a 3.5-inch version for the iPhone 4 and 4S soon, and possibly the iPad. Please check this link for updates. Now that you've downloaded the above image, find the image that you want to use for your wallpaper, making sure it's the same dimensions as the above image, and open it in Preview for Mac or a comparable application on your PC. Next, also open the overlay image that you just downloaded. Press Command + A (substitute control for Command on a PC) to select the entire image. Now press Command + C to copy it, and close out of the window. Go back to the Preview window where your desired wallpaper is, and press Command + V to paste the overlay image. That's it! That's all you have to do. As long as your wallpaper has the exact same dimensions as the image here, you should have a wallpaper that looks very similar to the iOS 6 lock screen. Your finished product should look something like this:A finished version, shown on an iPhone 6 running iOS 9Just save the image in Preview, and then you're ready to send it to your iOS device however you like - email, iMessage, AirDrop, etc. Once on your device, just open Photos, find the image, and select it. Tap the Share icon in the lower left, and near the bottom you should see options for "Copy," "Slideshow," and so on. Scroll to the right on this portion of the screen until you see "Use as Wallpaper," and tap on that. Tap "Set," then "Set Lock Screen," and now you're all done. You can close out of Photos, lock your device and then wake it up again to see the new wallpaper. Hope you enjoy it!Back to: Comment on this Blog Post 2ff7e9595c
