An iPhone Tardis Lock Screen.

Whoa there! I don’t think you really want to be here: this version is only for iOS4 or earlier.

     If you have an iPhone 4S or older, you’re probably running iOS5 or 6, with a camera icon on the lockscreen. So, head over to the iOS5 or 6 version: click here.

     If you have an iPhone 5, you need a larger version for the new screen, which you can find in this post: click here.

     If you are still on iOS4, however, then feel free to click here to download a version which works without the camera icon.

     And here’s the original post:

     Yes, this is a bit random. No, it doesn’t really fit into the overall goals of the blog. But, yesterday I went to a Doctor Who exhibition in London and I figured it might be fun to have a Tardis-themed lock screen on my iPhone. I couldn’t find one that fitted my criteria: had to work with messages I received, had to show the time and date clearly, should be as ‘full-screen’ as possible. Anyway, I spent a productive breakfast editing images, and came up with the following. I thought I’d share it, in case anyone else wanted to use it. The colours look odd, but that’s to compensate for the iPhone’s lock-screen shading. The ‘Police Box’ text is missing, but that’s because the date sits there.

     Post a comment if you use it. Thanks.

     (I stupidly deleted the original Tardis image file, and can’t remember where I found it. I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. If you’re the rights holder and want it taken down, or credited, then please accept my apologies: contact me through comments and I’ll oblige. It just seemed like a harmless thing to share with people, in a derivative-work-kind-of-way.)
