Transparent/opaque statusbar - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

I just wondered if anyone has gotten that to work on our Hero. In case you have no idea what I mean, here is an image to show it.

Just found out that it can't be done in Rosie. Works a charm with a transparent png in Launcher2. In Rosie it simply doesn't draw the wallpaper behind the statusbar. That's why it just turns black when using a transparent png.

Indeed it does. Unfortunaly it cannot be done in Rosie.

You could make the bar a colour to match some default wallpapers creating the illusion its opaque?

Could this be made to be used on Advanced Launcher

have you looked at manup's music widget from his rom?
Dude, we soooo need this for 2.0 ROMs. Any way you'd be interested in making one of those?
Hey kron2,
Nice job on the nexus mods, love both the launcher and the power widget.
BTW i've noticed there's also a new clock in the nexus dump. Just a fyi.
Question: would you mind if i take up a link to your morphs in the 'post your morphs' thread?
Nice clock!
Two things I noticed though, If you don't reboot after applying the clock metamorph, my option for the analog clock widget disappears completely.
Also, there's no alarm clock icon in my app drawer anymore.

Isnt that the launcher from systemforce or specforce theme? looks similar.
the clock is not in it.i did not like the clock in the nexus dump so i made my nexus clock and the launcher i made i will have to look up systemforce or specforce theme.
added a morph with just the clock and looked at systemforce don't look like it at all and don't see specforce or any thing like it.

Sweet!!!!
nice i like it! looks like you have a few metamorphs, would it be possible if you could put them all in one thread so that they are all easily accessible. it would also decrease the clutter of metamorphs in the theme section. just a suggestion.
is the settings widget included too?
Can we get advanced launcher support?

metamorph will replace the images in whatever you have as Launcher.apk in /system/app/ if that is the Advanced Launcher, then you have Advanced Launcher support.
I was joking guys ,no launcher looks like his.

kron i have a question. The clock on my phone looks a bit like the screenshots you posted, some grany lines separating the shades of grey.
But checking inside the metamorph file on the pc the clock dial file looks perfect.
Is it the low resolution of my phone?

Gingerbread Icons

Tried to recreate the gingerbread dock icons from that leaked, blurry picture. Let me know what you think.
now we have icons like these
& some of them is like of Froyo & Eclair original icons
right?!
sorry i didnt mean like the app icons, i meant like the dock icons at the bottom.. in the leaked picture they were green
natehoch96 said:

dock is like ADW.launcher dock
for green color & transparent mod you can edit & make your own ADW theme
Just whipped up the attached browser and dock graphics based on what we've seen so far for gingerbread. Green phone icon is straight from the froyo contacts.apk file.
I made these based on the FroYo stock Launcher2 icons
From what I saw, the phone icon is in the same angle as the images you guys posted, but its like the htc phone icon except with a black handle, and with the same green stuff near the speaker and mic. The browser looked like the one from Android 2.0 (Droid icon) with the ocean being black and hte land green.
I don't see any gingerbreads! :U
makin' me all hungry and ****.
little delayed here but pretty nice icons fatcharli

Looks great is there any way you can make them alil bit bigger to match the real size..they look smaller then the froyo icons
My rendition. If a talented photoshop artist put his or her mind to it I'm sure they could come up with a nice Gingerbread theme pretty easily. Or we could just wait a few weeks for actual Gingerbread to drop and pull the graphics out lol.

Hey gtg465x, that Browser icon is killer! Great job. How about a Phone icon to match the green color in that Browser icon
Did't want to take a screen shot so took with webcam

Here's a dock for something like LauncherPro and the official icons. Head to my other thread to get a system image as a zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9626882#post9626882
Here's what the dock looks like in practice...
I extract the framework icons and png from Android SDK
Framework android 2.3
PNG Android 2.3

[THEME|MDPI|07.12.10] LauncherPro and ADW - Metamorph - Gingerbread theme

Gingerbread is out, although some of our devices can't run it yet
So the next best thing... A Gingerbread theme
(Also btw, the status bar icons are not the official Gingerbread one's because I made this theme before Gingerbread was out, and on the leaked pictures the Status bar icons were green, unlike the grey ones, and honestly i prefer green, although I may change this
This is for MDPI Devices Only
Installation - Framework
1.Download the attached zip, named GBThings
2.Extract that, and place it on your phone.
3.Now download an application called Metamorph from the market (You must have root btw).
4.Open Metamorph and let it do it's checks...
5.Now click on Unzip/Extract theme and find the folder you put on your phone.
6.Now in that folder open the one named 'Framework' and select the Zip file inside that,
Metamorph should now extact the theme, and you should click on Apply all.
Let it do it's thing, it may freeze but leave it.
Then reboot your phone
You should notice the status bar and icons on it have changed.
ADW Users
1. Do the same as above up to step 6, instead of opening the folder 'Framework' open the one named 'ADW' then continue using the steps above.
Also you will need to create a Custom shortcut to the corresponding actions with the Gingerbread Icons included in the Zip then place them in your dock.
Launcher Pro Users
(I apologise for no tut, but I assume you know how to do this, the dock is under the Launcher pro directoy of the given folder and the icons are under the Icons directory)
Keyboard
Also in the zip is the gingerbread keyboard, flash the GBKeyboard using recovery
Link
I worked on this same sort of thing last night, if you want I can PM you all the images I did. I ripped and re-colored mine from CMH
Though I think the color on mine may be off. I used Colorify in the GIMP to put them all to Android Green (#A4C639). And my battery is crap, hah.
Status bar looks a little off compared to the pictures of gingerbread that engadget got
and can I have an image of the dock background so i can use this with LauncherPro instead of ADW?

I mean like, the dock portion is great, but the status bar looks different, the wifi is curved not just lines, the signal lines are more higher up, and the battery looks like its upright in gingerbread
Heres a little mod I did
[basically I made a new phone icon, and resized the browser icon to 40x40
I think it looks closer to the pictures, except they may be too small]

GB should look alot like the released pics, when it comes out i'll make a more exact theme [including the notification bar] until someone manages to port it for my G1
i'm still really curious about changes besides the look of the homescreen though
Why is everyone all tryin'a theme up their screens to look like the Gingerbread theme? It's so ugly. That green is ugly and there's nothing special about it.

the green bars are in the "system_ui.apk" in the apps folder.
i don't know why.

Open the MTZ file with winrar, extract the lockscreen via winrar again and just change the image over making sure that the name is the same. if you are looking to edit the images use photoshop or you will loose any transparency on the images please note you may need to compress the file .. if you are not sure how this is done follow these steps http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?8202-MIUI-Theme-How-To-1.7.8
Thread now updated ( 03/08/11 )with Round icons
Request will be taken and actioned ASAP
Thank you for the requests i will post the updates on Saturday
Very nice, I like the look of round lockscreen icons although imo I think they'd look better without the text labels beneath them. The megaupload link is down.
Plus, a little confused by the browser icon. It looks more suited as icon for compass!
Also, maybe a cosmetic bug. Quite often it shows a flat red line (no signal or is it low signal) while flat red line I had a 5 min phone call perfectly fine.

thank you for pointing out about the browser icon i will change that ASAP also megaupload link should now be working fine.
Also i will edit the file on friday evening and i will clear the writing underneath icons.
PS do you prefer the lockscreen with a round background or would you prefer no background (Transparent)
please see a few new updated lockscreens these are uploaded but i have not yet changed previews in the theme folder i will do this ASAP... Thank you all for your patience
The shortcut icons do look better with a round background. I've had the lockscreen before with transparent background and it just doesnt look right, as if the icons are out of place.

Hi
Another thing I've noticed is when I apply the theme, the lockscreen icons are different to the same app icons when screen unlocked.
Could you please rectify
i take it you mean the app within the ring when you drag this down.... this was because i had just transfered the same ring to all roms again can be changed it isnt a big job its just a matter of a little photoshop ill sort it soon
Ok thanks, appreciate all the effort.
Its little corrections that will make it perfecto
