i'm looking for a transparent/shaded status or taskbar notification background. so what im really looking for is the background of the pull down tab to be specific. ive found one on this forum but metamorph wont let me flash it and i cant flash it because the package isnt signed.... let alone i do not know if it actually works or not ^^;;
a little info on my phone... im on a HTC Tattoo (Click) with 2.2 froyo without sense ROM.
ive attached the file so you guys can see. oh and another thing ive been having some sort of weird problem with my metamorph where when i start it it has to do a check but it says that i dont have enough memory but i definitely do have more than enough on the SD card and the phone.
thanks in advance!
your lack of experience shows. if you want help, find the specific png (aka image) that you are speaking about. then type it out here for people to read. then rather than posting a whole framework randomly, post something useful, like the image itself. explain what it looks like and then explain your 50% transparency request.
for example: i got that from your request, you want this image called status_bar_background. i made it 50% transparent myself and am showing you it using tinypic.com where you can upload any image for free and post it using the code.
the left image is the actual png image in framework-res.apk/framework/drawable-hdpi. the right image shows what it looks like on your phone.

Right so now that I have the png how does one go about installing it?

I know, I know... it's linux... and it's a canceled phone, but never mind that. I love - LOVE the glossy black/gray/cyan color scheme.
There are some larger pictures floating about the net, but this is the only one I could find that shows multiple screens.
Thanks in advance!
*bump*
In the mean time, could someone direct me to the registry edits needed to change the color of selected/highlighted items? Can't seem to locate it anywhere.
With Mobilematts Fuzeberry theme and a transparent clock, I still get small lines of green on the left and right side of the clock - thinking it won't look so bad if it's cyan instead.
Frankly I'm pretty much sick of the black/green color scheme.
If you downloaded my red and chrome theme,(nice taskbar )just open up the highlights cab with any cab program and youll see all the files. There are afew more that I didn't do but that will at least give you the files to change.
GASP! who told you I downloaded your theme? I'm at work right now so I might try it later.
For some reason I cannot install your task bar on qsqa's new PROven ROM. Tried twice, but could only get the speaker icon. Probably going to go back to Arup's RRE (like I always do!)
*NOTE: the screenie above was taken with Arup's
Anyway - Evidently I must be mentally challanged because I couldnt get your ENTIRE theme to work. Could you throw up a .cab that'll do it all with 1 install?
P.S. I still want a theme that looks like my first post!!
...... *sigh*
I'm running a ROmwhich has the honeycomb icon layout. I find it terrible. It's so hard to find anything, it looks cluttered and confusing... Is there a way to get it to list things as a grid instead?
Yes there is a app available that will show everything in a list, unfortunately I can't remember the name but you should be able to find it via the search option.
I'm also desperately looking to disable the HoneyComb effect... I hear the economy is bad and some jobs need to be lost. I'd start with whoever came up with that.

I've searched and I can't find anything. It's possibly the worst idea Microsoft have come up with since that ridiculous paperclip. It's a mess.
I'm going back to 6.1 until one of the rom wizards finds a fix for it. Unless this thread comes up with one.

I will be posting a new one in that thread in a few minutes once i get landscape fixed
I second the OP question regarding the return to the simple grid system. A list is good, but not as good
heres a sample:

I might do some work on it though, this isn't flashable yet, just some images in a zip file:

For some reason it took me forever to make this cause I couldn't get the images to line up correctly.theres a bug that has to be fixed with expanded before the images can actually be used.

good job, Ace42. Mind if i try to make a morph outta this? Been lookin' for it for a while. Would go well with my hero theme that I have because I have the desire icon pack for people to flash to get the updated sense look, and this would just complete it. Whatcha say?! I'ma look at the file right now.
Just a quick look and the first problem I noticed was that in drawable-land, one of the tabs is half erased

noticed that as well. I'm gonna try and edit this and fix it up and make a metamorph out of it. Hope Ace42 doesn't mind. Well, i guess he put it up so we can all partake in gettin' this done right, right? lol
I dont mind i posted cause i needed help, you're free to use it.
So, I was bored this morning and I created a skinned HTC IME mod using Gimpsta's theme generator found here: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/main.php
I did it using a key template I made and a simple filter using GIMP 2, along with the "transparent" key options on the themer. Hoping to make a tutorial soon on how I did it cause it's pretty cool.
Here is what it looks like. (download link below screenshots)

Had to upload to Mediafire, but here it is.
HTC_IMElava.apk
Amazing Work! Im gonna try this as soon as my phone comes back from repair
That is god damn horrible.
Niclas90 just be warned, since the "buttons" are made on the background image itself, the compact QWERTY and the number/symbol boards don't line up well, but if you rarely use those, like myself, then you may not mind it.
Detol Loki, I am sorry you do not like it. I know it is a crazy design, but on my phone it is actually perfectly legible with the background. But I understand not everyone will like it.
Lastly, if any mods wouldn't mind. I posted this on android forums too and was told I couldn't post the link to the IME since it isn't part of the open source stuff. Please let me know if this is an issue here as well. It never crossed my mind before, since I have seen so many links all over the place to modded IME's. If it is a problem please accept my apologies and remove the download link from my post. My goal is not to cause any trouble anywhere.
Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.
Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.
Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?
