Now and again i like a change in the backround of my blueangel, i would like to make some decent images myself but i am no image making expert.
What i would like to know is when i place a logo on a backround i have a white area around the icon which rounds it off to make a square image does anyone know how i make the white area around the icon disappear so it sits on top of the backround with just the icon no white edges around the icon.
Confused.
Are you saying that you have icons on your Today's plugin that, when you are creating these icons, instead of having transparent background, you are getting a white background?
Yeah thats right also does anybody know the correct image format that iLauncher accepts for changing icons e.g my message icon with the paper sticking out change to >>> outlook icon.
Thanks.

Hey there people.. I am a big fan of android and custom roms particularly the cyanogenmod and how they let you totally customize your phone. I am here posting this thread for a different reason.
Can the status bar be redefined?? Instead of the age old static status bar on top of the screen, if it can be modded into a dot or some kinda mini icon which expands on clicking it and glows when you have a notification just like the LED that would be great. And if you can give some visual effects like each of the notifications sliding from the side of the screen it would be cool..
Imagine you have just the dot and it is present on all the apps or games, instead of big black bar floating on your screen and eating away your screen, you click on the dot, the notifications open, and close back on clicking on the icon, you can continue what you were doing without leaving the app.
Developers please have a look at this and do it.. It would be a great success..
It's a nice idea, but I think most of us want that instant info when unlocking the phone. I want to see time, wireless signal and battery at a glance. Not unlocking, then pressing a dot or icon first! It would be neat if what you are suggesting could be implemented on full-screen apps though! i.e not having to leave Gallery when you hear a notification but don't have a statusbar...

How about giving that option in settings, like an option of seeing signal, battery status alone with the icon/dot or show the full status bar or just the dot..
If there were options of clicking the dot and opening up only how much you want as in just the network bar and battery status and you click the dot again it open up some more with some visual effects and just again if you want a detailed expanded notifications.
Just saying..!
Please drop in some ideas
And it would be awesome if everyone who takes a look at this thread drop in some suggestion or their view or their idea..
Thanks..
Would be cool

You could have all those readings on the lockscreen for the instant info and still have the status dot when you unlock.
I want something similar to the tablet UI, that's what's awesome

I second/third/fourth/thousand this idea. I can visualize what OP is imagining and I agree, sounds like a project that would take off.
Here's my .02;
Dot colors should be customizable
We should have the liberty of choosing where it shows up On our screen edges (X,Y access)
Maybe the possibility of using our own images. As in I can whip up different icons and make them pop up instead of the dot. Cool idea for personal logo use, strictly to show off of course.

Glad!
I am glad many have liked the idea.. another idea is you can choose the background of the notification bar that opens as in transparency, black, white etc..
Whenever you get a notification ripples flow from the dot indicating the notification and each color indicating a different notification..
Ohmy..!! my imagination seems to have no bounds..
Any developers?
Any developer who is interested???
How about something like using the google labs settings in the ICS browser. Whenver you put your finger on the side of the screen, your options pop up but in addition to options you time, signal, date, send message etc...

This would be really nice. I've grown so accustomed to the Browser's Quick Controls, and its one reason I rarely use Chrome.
And for now you could use Apex launcher, and set option for swype down to toggle notifications, and swype up to hide/show notification bar...

To sum up
options : full status bar
mini status bar
just the dot/custom icon
animations : ripple
glow
color of the notification bar : transparent
black
white
gestures : enable/disable
Any more additions??
So im loving the exposed stuff got my phone looking snazzzzzyyyy
except i have changed the status bar to white (to give a bit of contrast) however the notifications drawer (when you pull it down) sort of conflicts with the colors (the notifciations is black and only goes about 3/4 the way over the status bar) is there anyway of changing the parameters of the notifications? (not the status bar because i tried reducing the size of it and in some apps there is grey areas and it looks daft)
any help would be hella awesome!
thanks

The colored notification icons on the always on screen are quite hard to see. The dark red Gmail icon for example barely stands out. Does anyone know if it's possible to show the all white icons here just as on the lock screen?
I use Holey Light which working great. The app has large icons with your own color definitiion and saves battery because AOD is managed.
