I have a 9.png image uploaded I just need someone to help change it to be transparent, then make sure the 9.png works.
Ive tried about 100 times to get it to work in Draw9 and it always ends up force closing when i use the widget on my phone. Also im unable to post links for some reason but I can pm it to you if your willing to help me.
Any help would be appreciated

OK, so I'm new to this. I'm running Fresh Rom 2.0d. I pulled the HtcClockWidget.apk to try to make a clear clock. I also wanted a clear weather for the large flipclock widget, so I modified some pngs in com.htcWeatherWidget.apk.
I modified all the pngs and pushed the clock back to system/app/. I then pushed com.htcWeatherWidget.apk back to system/app/. Now I have lock my clock and weather widgets all together. They show up in the app folder, but are not in the add widget screen.
How do I get these things to show up.
Thanks in advance for your help.

no problem
I tried option 2 using Andro. When I selected "Lauch", it gave me the error "Activity not found - com.htc.widget.clockwidget
Well, I did the first (long) option. That fixed it. Thanks for the help. Now to find the png to clear the flip clock divider. I thought I modified all of the images, but I guess I missed one.

This sounds awesome...let us know if it works out for you. I'd love to have a clear weather/clock widget that had the special effect when unlocking your phone. The clear widget on the first page of the themes thread does not have the effects.
If it's possible can you post the apk's on here so we can use them also....or let us know what pngs you pulled so it's easier for us to mod our weather/clock widget as well
Thanks man.....
I dont have photoshop, but i need to have a see through or opaque picture to use as my lockscreen background. can anyone help me, or even make a quick one? with a grey background if its opaque.
BUMP! come on people someone must have photoshop, this would only take 5 minutes.

..... Then have a play with DroidExplorer?... apparently it can do the ADB stuff for you......
EDIT..... Droid Explorer - 0.8.6.0 [06/19/2010] - Conan O'Brian Edition
Why someone with photoshop. It's just as doable with Gimp, a totally free image editor.
i dont have an image editor, slash i didnt know that. And its not the actual lock screen or anything i need.
i downloaded lockbot and you can use your own image as the background, so if i got a transparent one then i would have a transparent lockscreen..

i modified the file from Cronos 1.7.1 so i'm not sure it will work for villainrom...
if you do want to try it ... do a nandroid or bart backup before you PUSH the file onto /system/framework folder
i think i tried that one before, but i'm not sure, i'll give it a shot.
it says verification failed?
If your looking to set an image as a lockscreen background its not as easy as having a transparent image. Android does not treat it as if it is transparent.
Hoping someone can work out a fix soon though.
oh i see. well thats helpful thanks. Also when trying to flash all these zips that people are putting together for me, when i try to flash them i get an error "verification failed"!!

There was a Vanilla ROM with transparent locksscreen. I think it even was SuperHero and I remember it coz people did not like transparent lockscreens. It made screen look messy. Also some other vanilla ROMs have semi transparent lockscreens - it shows only wallppaper, not all icons and widgets - which I found very cool, especially if you like live wallpapers. I want to make it work on sense ROMs, don't know how so

Have you got a rooted phone?
my cousin decided to edit his sprites/images for 'minecraft', most of these ingame images use transparency so once he had edited them (poorly.lol) they were not transparent :/
he asked me how to do it properly, which i dont know but i know people who do i figured its something i would like to learn and also use what iv learnt with rom themes...etc
how would i edit images and make the background appear transparent? (.png)
thanks!

found this, ill try it tomorrow..
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
I'm not too familiar with gimp but all I'm trying to do is put the icons I want on my wallpaper but I can't seem to get them centered and they always seem too big. I'm trying to get them like this: http://mmtnns.deviantart.com/#/d3jdad2
any help at all would be appreciated, thank you!
you may have to use a 480x800 wallpaper and turn off scrolling to get it to work. if you want post what you have and I'll take a stab at it.

What size do the icons need to be when I put them on the wallpaper using gimp? And how do I center them
If I were to do it I would take that screenshot that you linked to, and use the measuring tool in gimp to find what size was used. Just make sure the screenshot is actually the right size. Pm me if you'd like.
