Transparent labels *without* winterboard

[ElDuco]

I've just uninstalled winterboard (it was causing lag).

I've now got my theme happening manually by replacing the files myself, but can't find how to make docked icon labels transparent.

In winterboard, you can just put this into Info.plist
<key>DockedIconLabelStyle</key>
<string>color: transparent</string>

Does anyone know how to achieve this without using winterboard? I've searched pretty extensively online and tried a few .plists around on the phone, but no luck so far.

Ok, I've just found a workaround: edit
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/LocalizedApplicationNames.strings

and simply delete the app names that I wanted transparent.

Obviously this only works for labels you want to completely remove.

I too have been running & setting up my own customizations w/ out winterboard. Winterboard was great to find out items that can be customzied but it really lags on the entire phone.

So, I have since removed winterboard and replaced the following:

Slider - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/ (replace 3 images bottombarknobgreen.png, bottombarknobgray.png, bottombarknobred.png) all taken from any winterboard theme or battery theme.

lock battery screen (17 images)
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ (BatteryBG_(1 to 17).png

Wi-Fi Bars (8 images)
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/FSO_(0 to 3)_AirPort.png (that's 0, 1, 2, 3)
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/Default_(0 to 3)_AirPort.png
Sms bubbles (I've got a blue sent bubble and a blue-green received)

I was looking to change to the "black status bars" but I am unable to figure out where to do that, plists file edit or copy a file somewhere. Any help would be awesome

This site seems to have a great list of all the iphone directories and files to edit:

Maybe we should change this topic to iPhone winterboard customizations *without* winterboard....
