Thanks for digging up an old post....
Lets use some common sense. his post says we cant have transparency until froyo. Do we have froyo? yes, we do. So the answer is yes.
If you looked around you would see we have multiple themes already with transparent status bars.

Hate to ask a n00b question, but alas, that is me.
Anyways, maybe if its searchable someone could give me some hints at what to search for, but I don't really know how to search for it. I want my taskbars to be a solid color (black), but the tsk file I am using has gradient taskbars.
I guess, how to I turn off the gradient bars to use general ones.
Thanks guys,
Don

I just wanted to say how ez it was to pose as some noob ... (samsungfan05) on IRC and get the knowledge of how to change the status bar on Generation X to the Revolution 3.6 solid black bar. All you have to do is, go into the framework.apk that is in your theme that you want to use as the base using your rar/zip program and drag n drop the images from the framework in the theme you want to take stuff out of, into res/drawable-hdpi in the base themes framework.apk ... APKs evidently open up with zip programs so i could have been doing this since i had my nexus one. hell i think i might post my dock i used and made for my iphone it was hella slicc. The whole process is really simple as hell I just wanted anyone that wondered if you can do this sort of thing (i used to decompile and customize themes like hell on iOS) in android, you can. it's not any more involved either... just drag n drop. if you can't pull that off... kill yourself.
So, no more can you port this theme threads for me, i'm just going do the **** myself... or if someone has a requests, for a generous donation, i will port it for you since I am well on the way to doing so. Peace
There is actually a lot more to it.then just editing the drawable hdpi.folder in the framework...,most of make at.minimum edits to over to.xml.files in the frameworks......and use smali/backsmali to edit the service.jars
Also why did you have to pose as someone else to get information...,everyone is more than willing to share what they know

So... the point of this post is that you want to charge people a lot of money to port themes?
Wow, that's not cool.
I also don't understand why you needed to pose as a noob to ask for advice. Are you that disliked in IRC that you won't be helped if people know its you?

There really is. I've been playing with it a bit in an attempt to port the NeonGT theme from the i9000 but there's more to it than swapping a few .png's and apparently I'm not totally getting it yet. A few more hours of learning and I think I'll have it down though.

theres not one tutorial per say (well updated one) personally i scoured xda/mydroidworld/af and bit by bit have found most of what ive needed...its kinda jumbled
Demanding a donation in return for your work IS NOT a donation..... Seems like you are not the only one to make this mistake in the Fascinate forums either *COUGH*webstar1*COUGH*

Are you talking about the black circle buttons behind the icons? I think you could probably replace them using m10 tools much like with making a custom lock ring.

I think i know what you are asking. You want to change the shortcuts that are on the lock screen. Click the personalize button. Then click lock screen. Then click settings. Depending on the lock screen selected you will get an option that says "select Shortcuts" (click this item) or a window that shows the four shortcuts. Clicking on one of the shortcuts in that window will allow you to replace this shortcut with an application in your app drawer. Also make sure you are editing the one that says (current)

I believe the OP wants to use custom themed icons that he has instead of the icons that come in the system. Not just changing the app short cut. Does anyone know if metamorph works with any if these builds? That would be one way to use your favorite custom icons...
Edit: another way you might be able to do this is modifying the app icon using apk editor. Hope this helps.
Can you clarify your question please........ ????

Yes this is correct. sorry didnt think the original post was that confusing
We need to start helping eachother a little better guys.
This thread is the very first search result on Google when you search for "custom icons sense 3 lock screen", seriously, go search for yourself. It is sad that this thread has been hit enough times to be the first result on Google and all I, and the 664 other people looking for the same thing see is this guy getting yelled at for asking a question. If the question has been asked 1.5million times before of course I can understand the frustration, but post a link and then yell; or yell and then post the link, either way. But to just simply say that there are threads about the topic already but not provide any links is asinine; that makes you contribute the the junk threads just as much. If someone does ask the question for the 1200th time post a link and maybe suggest some key terms for a search next time. I know 100% of the time I ask a question that has already been asked, its because I wasn't sure of the proper terminology or key words to use to find it.
Seriously guys, I'm not trying to rant, im not trying to flame or troll or any of that. But were a community of people who have a common interest, and you should never scold someone for asking a question. Were supposed to be helping each other out, not tearing each other down because one person thinks there more "entitled" than the next.
Now im going to continue to search and will post back with any links that I can find. I encourage anyone who already knows the answer to post links as-well it would be much appreciated by many im sure.

can u post the 2 huge thraed links that discussing about the custom lockscreen icon t?? i cant found it in xda..
I really like Bobcat Rom.. with one issue.. The icons on the status bar at the top are all the way to the left. Because of this, I cannot see the temp nor any app notifications. A. is there a fix for this and B. if not -- can someone direct me to where the theme pics are stored? I really like the lock screen pic and home pic.
thx!
Notification bar
anyone else running into this? I LOVE the look and feel of this ROM. One problem is the notification bar after adding the Bobcat ROM Theme. It bunches the icons for sound and wireless and bluetooth on the left hand side. The clock is centered with net speed right next to it.. and some others are on the right. This causes no notifications from apps to show and sometimes the icons squeezed to the left bunch up and flash. Is there a fix for this? Would love to use this ROM..
thx

sure it is.. you ported over an amazing ROM.. letting you know a development with the Theme.
Bro! You got me so excited. I thought this was a new ROM. Who's going to pay for my "went awry" excitement now?

That does not make it development. That is how the original Dev made it.
I hear you, brother. I was trying to be funny. Thing is.. the screenshots you have of the ROM.. show the icons all to the right.. leaving space for the notifications. That's why I asked.

You will probably get a better response and answer if you post your comment/question into this thread that is intended for people using Bobcat ROM.
