Lock Buster 4.0.1.0
For Windows Phone users the lock screen is one of the areas that is most often subject to customization and this prompted the emergence of numerous dedicated apps. Lock Buster is one of these tools and it aims to assist you in bringing a personal touch to your phone.
Nice looking interface, very easy to work with
The application offers a nice workspace, with a very nice appearance that uses as backgrounds your own photos stored inside the picture albums onto your phone. The graphics are also very well designed, while the functions and commands you will put to work are neatly placed inside the GUI.
The generous preview area shows you the lock screen in full, so you can see exactly how it will look with the selected pictures on display. On the downside, after a few launches you will come across some reminders that prompt you to review and rate the application.
Multiple album selection to fill the collage templates
Lock Buster allows you to use not only a single set of images stored inside your "Photos" area, but you can select all the albums you want and have the images combined in various ways to make the picture montage as diversified and appealing as possible.
You can pick the preferred layout from the 6 available in the "Customize" area and then check out how the images look like when mingled together.
Detailed customization on the spot
This utility enables you to personalize the looks of your phone with a bit more than images, as it features two add-ons that can be included onto the lock screen, namely one for viewing the battery status and another for checking out the current weather conditions.
The time interval for refreshing the pics can be set from 30 minutes to 7 days, while the add-on customization includes picking the desired transparency level.
To make the pictures look different, you can apply a color effect, activate shading and even apply some black margins that act as separators for the image tiles.
