[Q] [help] Getting rid of transparent box under notification pulldown bar! - Android Themes

I have been wanting to do a theme for about a year and a half now. I have done A LOT of research, Finally started to dig in, and wouldn't ya know, this is the ONLY thing I don't think I've seen anything about. I am working on a theme for the evo, its a Droid X theme for CM 6.1.2, I have been theming the framework today and I loaded it on my phone and now i have this semi-transparent box that appears under the pull down bar. How can i get rid of that? i cant seem to find the file. Any help is appreciated, i also attached a screenshot. Thanks.
It also moves along with the bar as I pull it down, not sure if that helps.
not even sure you can see it, but its noticeable on the phone!

sorry, never ever seen that before..not on my phone, or somewhere else...
but let´s see what other say.

Wild guess, but maybe you set a transparent pixel at the bottom to stretchable in the .9.png
I think that image isn't fill_parent though, but it's possible..

I will decompile it again, and see if i can find anything.
**Edit**
I cant find anything....this is being a pain.
I started this last night, and as I was theming I tested it once in a while, and i didnt see it until I changed the progress_horizontal.xml....but as far as i know that shouldnt have changed anything here.

Quite possibly a stupid question but..

Hey guys, quick question. I searched the forum but can't hit on anything close to what I'm trying to find. I searched all the m2d threads but couldn't find anything really either. I found this theme in the m2d thread, but what I want to know is how he got the colored icons in the top right system tray (battery, network, volume, etc.)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
any ideas?
I'm guessin thats nhatt's, he's using PDA ROM thats why he has coloured icons, if you do a search you can find what .dll's have which icons.
So there's really no chance of finding these tweeks in a cab form? thanks for the help.

There was a post in PDA thread not long ago with some .cabs 4 coloured icons
Also if you know what .dll etc does the icons then you can take them from one build to another.
Hope that helps.

Well, for one you need to change the color because it doesnt look right. Two, something is wrong with your taskbar. It should automatically make the other icons go away.

did you make your taskbar clear? if so thats why the overlapping with the drop down.
ok so that the issue... my taskbar is clear. is there anyway to keep it clear and fix the date?

From what I see you need to turn down the green a little and flip the battery. Also I think if you greenify the WiFi icon from Simplistic it'll look a lot like the one in the pic
Okay thanks, although what I could tell the picture looks faded some how, so I added a little more vibrance
I will work on flipping the battery also
EDIT: Also here is a non faded looking pic

[HELP REQ] Need image name for part of notification pull down

Can anyone tell me what the name of the image is for the circled part? I can find every other image 'cept this one, it is drving me crazy!

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Sure, it's the title_bar_portrait.9.png located in the framework-res.apk/res/drawable-mdpi or ...hdpi
This one threw me for a while
...also, even though it's a .9.png I find if I resize it to what I what it doesn't cause any issues or require any patching. I find 320 x 20 to be a good size. Just saves having to patch the .9.png each time if you happen to make changes to it a lot
Do you know if it just shows up in that pulldown-menu, or is it used in more places?
I would guess by the name of the file that it does show up in other places, but I have never seen any graphical issues when having changed it, but then again I have never dramatically changed it, so couldn't really say. Turn it pink and see

Yes, good idea. I might try it tomorrow.
Thanks, that was the one I was looking for!
Just fyi:
I took the time and made a pink version of that image.
It seems it's only used in the pulldown menu. Haven't noticed it anywhere else.
Thanks again!

[SOFTKEYS] by @retareq [June 21,2012]

I modified some of the already available softkeys to my liking. Someone asked for them on deviantart so I'm posting them here as well. They are white on transparent back 80x80 and I use AOKP ROM Control to apply colors over it..not sure how it is on other ROM's but I'd imagine its the same.
Theres 6 images in the ZIP file. It's just a zip file NOT CWM flashable. I don't know how to make those if someone wants to do it by all means do so and let me know I'll put it in the OP.
Follow @retareq on twitter! I'm selling theme apps to raise funds for my Graphic Novel so I could use some social help
Screenshot with my apps:

Thank you sir ^^
Fo sheezy :cyclops:
Thanks
One thing though; that arrow is a little pixelated. Don't know if it'll show on-screen, but it was the first thing i noticed.
Sorry about late response! The pixels don't show up when you use the soft keys. I thought of the exact same thing when I was making them because it came like that...but its too tiny to see the jagged edges. Should be fine..
