As shown in the post here: http://osxgoodies.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/iphone-changing-slide-to-unlock/ users with jailbroken iPhones etc can easily change the “Slide to Unlock” text found on the lock screen. This post will explain how to simply change the colour of the Shine that laminates this text (ie, the green highlight in the image below).

1. Firstly, download one of the below images to your computer, by right-clicking and pressing “Save as”
   • 
2. SSH to your phone, and cd to the directory /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework
3. Backup your existing image by typing:

   mv bottombarlocktextmask.png bottombarlocktextmask.png.old

4. Use SCP to copy the image you have downloaded, to your iPhone, ie:

   scp <location of image>/bottombarlocktextmask.png root@<iphone IP>/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/

5. Respring, and you’re done! easy

As per usual, let me know if you have any issues!
