[Q] Help with porting a skinned widget - Android Themes

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker on the site and think I've learned a lot from everyone here but this time I really need some help.
I am working on a scrolling wallpaper theme based on a wood background using launcherpro plus. I really want to use a search widget like the one from the Eyefold ADW theme (see picture) and think I have all of the drawables from the apk but for the life of me I can't ninjamorph it or modify the quicksearch apk to get it to display properly.
I'm sure this is probably easy for a lot of people here so if anyone could give me any pointers or they're kind enough to do it for me so I can open it up and see what I was doing wrong it it would be really appreciated.

[Q] [REQUEST] DarkEdge theme port

I am sure alot of you have seen this theme but its just awesome!
Is there a way to port this to the Galaxy S? I think it works partially but I dont really know much about this stuff. Would be cool if its included in a ROM to make it easier to install.
Just an idea...

You can download them from the market. I have about 8 themes by Darkedge. But remember to install ADW Launcher for them to work, you also need to have ADW as the default Launcher.
Actually the ADW theme was not changing all the icons (especially samsung ones)...and widgets dont get modded either.
However, I managed to work around that by adding some xml files to the apk, and most of my main icons are now themed.
However, I am looking for more dark edge icons packs...let me know if you see any
Also, I am thinking of modifiying the status bar to go with the theme.
Its a shame ADW lags a bit esp with widgets.
However, I was still hoping someone could do a complete port (including status bar, menus, twlauncher app drawer etc)

[Q] CM7 Status Bar and Launcher Pro Questions.

Hey guys...Another Noob question here...So I have searched the forums and so far really couldnt find what i was looking for (maybe i missed something or didnt look hard enough ) But i am curious if someone has made a transparent notification bar for the CM7 RC that is flashable through Clockwork? Also I am curious if there is a way to make the Beautiful Widgets weather display Vertical instead of horizontal? Maybe you can with Launcher Pro Plus?? Just some things I was really curious about..Thanks for taking the time in reading this and any help or leading in the right direction is always greatly appreciated

enableRecentApps in a theme ??

How do i enableRecentApps in a theme ??
I have a theme i like and the only thing missing is the Recent App function...
I have enablePowerControl|enableRecentApps in notification_config.txt
But i can´t figure out how (or what) to mod in the framework-res.-files in order to get this to work...
So pleace help me a little with this, as i have created my own little theme from copying different parts i´d like from various other themes...
The REAL problem i have is that i´d like to have 5 rows in both the app drawer and main screen, and at the same time transparrent drawer...
but i have not been able to find that without at the same time to loose the Recent Apps function...
Perhaps this is a noob, but then i´m sorry, i just like to learn a little about this...

[Question] How come there aren't any PowerAMP widget skins yet?

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...

Touch Wiz Ux Mod

I am looking to mod the Touch Wiz Ux launcher to have a centered AllApps Button. Instead of all the way to the right, I have seen other people do this to the launcher before, but i cant seem to Figure our where or how to make this possible. Would greatly Appreciate it if you could, lend any sort of help to which xml or what needs to be done thanks. I am also looking to change it so you can put 5x5 apps on the pages, i seen this done. Not the App drawer 5x5, that already posted, but the actual launcher page, having the ability to have 5 apps by 5 apps. If there is an xml or somebody knows which one i need to edit for that as well it would be great appreciated.
