CoolLockScreen 3.2.0.0
For Windows Phone users this is possible mainly through dedicated utilities like CoolLockScreen, which are prepared to bring a better appearance onto any supported device.
Attractive and easy to use interface
This application comes with a friendly and pretty well designed GUI that features some amazing backgrounds and well designed graphics. The main commands are placed in the lower part of the screen for quick access.
The available customizations are presented in an innovative manner, as if they were part of a honeycomb. If you tap on any of them, the preview will be loaded instantly onto the background, but this can be an impediment for darker themes, as they will not be entirely visible.
Select and apply themes with two taps or create new ones on the spot
CoolLockScreen is a breeze to operate because all you have to do is press an item from the list of preset themes and then tap the thumbs up icon to have it applied instantly.
A bit more time you will spend in the customized themes section where you have the possibility to create lock screen backgrounds of your own, so the personalization of your Windows Phone handset can be taken one step further.
Pick the pics and check out some useful data at a glance
Inside the app's home screen there is a small amount of information pertaining to the current battery charge level and an estimation of the time left until a recharge is necessary. This data is also presented onto the lock screen.
Adding the images from your phone's gallery is a simple job and there is an alternative for it, more precisely you can choose to use Bing Images. The options for this feature consist of selecting either the daily image as background or downloading and having the week's images randomized onto the lock screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The very nice interface is very easy to work with and it provides useful battery charge info that is unfortunately updated with a bit of delay. |

Security10
Friendly with the system at many levels, this app doesn't touch the sensitive system areas where private information is kept. |

A barely noticeable power consumption characterizes this utility, so the battery usage remains low and very low all through its runtime. |
