I want to create a custom boot screen, but I need help getting the text to be transparent.
Please help
If you have gtalk that is a plus
Thanks
Make sure you are working with a transparent background, create a new layer, and enter your text....after you have it entered, use the magic wand tool to select it....and press delete......That should take care of it.
easier than that. start with a transparent background, fill in with color. switch to the text mask tool (better than magic wand for text highlighting, especially at small sizes), type your text (background will turn pink while typing) and then hit delete. done.
even easier.
make sure you have a clear background.
type what you want using the text tool.
then on the "layer" menu theres a little text box called "opacity"
type in whatever number you want, less than 100% w00t.
Dear xda-community,
since I did a few things with my phone ( rooted, applied new font, lagfix ) I have a few problems with the display of text.
In some parts of the text, there are question marks in boxes.
Not like they replace real letters, but they are somehow appended to some text, for example for the menu entry of Weather and Toggle Widgets.
Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?
If you want screens or further details just tell me and i'll add it.

Edit: By switching back to the default font, I figured out that it was the custom font. It was called Comfortaa as used here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752200
I used LauncherPro Plus with it and there were those question marks everywhere, maybe someone knows where this comes from, so I could make it work on my device.
Hey all,
I'm really liking the tile look of the new Windows 7 phones (see screenshot) and I found a bundle of png's I can use desktop visualizer to replicate but I'm wondering if anyone would be able to mod the app SMS Unread Count to fit the tile theme and display the unread count for Gmail, phone calls and texts (again, see screenshot). I know there's a thread on how to apply the unread count to png's, but I'm not a developer and it's completely over my head. If anyone's willing to help, I'd be incredibly grateful and more than happy to donate.
I'm about 100 % sure that's posted three or four times - Each in it's own Phone 7 Style thread.
You should really, really try using the search function.
Seriously.
I see that you're new; Did you read the !!!STOP BEFORE YOU POST!!! threads?
Or the rules even? You should have.
It's posted somewhere. Probably in the first post of the threads dedicated to Windows 7 styles.
EDIT: Here's one
Well, when I look at the screenshot it has the unread number inside the picture and not in the bubble above it. I have never seen SMS unread look like that either.
On your SD card you have a folder called "data".
Inside that folder there's another one called "com.kankosmswidget" or something like that.
Just put the icons in that folder and choose Custom Icon when you add SMS Unread Count.

ok i did that...but my icon is super small...how can i fix short of recompiling (dont know how to use apk manager, have tried numerous times)? tried resizing but its coming up the same size
thank you
Sprint Tab with EF17, *UNROOTED*
I have everything in ten folders, each identified by a 3-letter code. My laptop, phone (HTC Incredible, rooted), and G Tab have the same home screen with the same folders.
I'd like to eliminate the folder icons, retaining only the 3-letter codes. Or, make those icons transparent or invisible.
Object is to simplify the home screen while retaining functionality. In fact, if there's an app-writer out there, how about assigning a spaces on the screen to open folders, eliminating icons and identifiers? Or is there such a thing?
Is there a way?
Thanks!
Maybe something like desktop visualizer will do what you want. In the market.
As always, use at your own risk!

BecauseI know I'm not theonly one whowants tounderstandit a lot,I'll showyoua way.Inspirationand ideasI got from this article. Huawei EMUI Themes gestalten und verändern [Teil 1]
What is needed:
- 7zip
- Sublime Text 3
Here we go. The prerequisite is time to rest and work accurately!
After you have installed the two programs are set to go.
Think up a folder where the issues come in here (.hwt). Always works only with copies!
Here you should create a subfolder with the topic name you now. There you unpacked the topic. Go into that folder and subfolders again sets each with the appropriate name. example:
com.android.settings = com.android.settings e
So you keep track of things.
The repeated her with the topic, which ye icons, etc you want to have.
Now comes the actual act. Take the issue of the want to edit it, in my case, Edward Returns.hwt and clicks it right (not extract!), Just select Open.
Next, locate the com.android.settings and open it again.
Here again open the res folder. Here delete the contents (click there and delete right).
Now we take the topic from which we want the icons. Also re-open and click through to the folder res. Now we select the content and push it, hold by the left, into the folder from another topic. We confirm the prompt with Yes. Now is the content in the other folder. Now we can both close, confirm the prompt with Yes and we already did it. Only on Mate7, select and look the topic. If you want, you can even assign a name. For the description.xml with Sublime Text 3 Open Notepad and then copy into the theme.
You can also use your own icons here on size, format and name eighth! It is also possible to take files from other themes if they do not exist.
Of course, goes even more, color etc, but you will still need to edit the corresponding .XML files.
Here are a few paths:
- Contacts com.android.contacts
- Gallery com.android.gallery3d: Here lies the Gallery widget.
- Player com.android.mediacenter: Here the player is widget.
- Settings com.android.settings: Here is what you see under settings and submenus.
- Links com.android.systemui: Here is what you see Status Bar / Benarichtigungen / Verküpfungen.
- Designs com.huawei.android.thememanager: Here is what you see under Themes.
- Clock / weather widget
com.huawei.android.totemweather / res
drawable-nodpi: Here are the wallpapers
drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi: Here are the symbols
- Icons icons: This is what you see on the homescreen icons.
Thanks , i would like to create a theme for me, a dark one, simple and clear but unfortunately, i really didnt understand the procedure Is it possible for you to make a step by step guide ? Taking the default theme and changing it ?

Than the notifications background black and white text and icons.
on settings , dark background and white text + icons.
So sorry i dont understand , i would have tried to make some themes
Thanks !
For the font you need to edit the corresponding XML files. This is tedious. It is easier to look for the best ducks already in coarse threads and replace only the background, symbols etc is.
A Guide for the XML I'm not going to write, which is too complex, as there is also still required Chinese.
You can read here.

Or here keeping an eye out for suitable topics.

Thank you dude !
cool instruction
i also want to edit this specific theme Edward Returns for my Ascend p7, the theme is as of now only for Mate 7 it cant be found on p7 online themes, so i downloaded this theme and installed on my p7, everything is as it should be except the icons, the system Apps icons are well, but the apps that i have installed their icons dont fit in the icon frame of the theme, they are bigger than the theme icons so they come on top of the frame, but some of the Apps that have smaller icons i can see the icon frame of the theme behind them. So i wanna know if it is possible to resize the icons so they fit the icon frame? and how it can be done?
Thanks in advance :good:
Unpack theme, edit icons and then copy the unzipped not matter.
Does anyone know how to change the background color in Messeges? i have a really cool theme but there is some error in its Messages App the background is white while the timestamp in the left side is also in white color so i can read the time... i dont know which line in themes.xml should i change????
Unfortunately, I do not quite understand you. The background images are. Just as the symbols of the timeline. About the xml you lay down only the text color and the assignment.
can you help me of that modified whatsapp called WhatsMaap changing icon cause it looks so bad because the whatsapp icon is circle so there is a black or green background the app icon
this is the app dude : https://plus.google.com/communities/111022663413469989470
I need to modify the text colour of notifications into NOTIFICATION PANNEL.
Not the standard text you find below email notification or whatsapp notifications, just the ones poping up with text surrounded by circle and asking to close a particular application consuming too much battery, for example.
Actually these notifications text are in black and, since the background is black, they aren' t readeble at all, while the others notifications (i.e. whatsapp notifications, email notifications, etc. etc.) are properly in white (see picture attached).
Considering that I need to keep the background as black, I would need to modify the notifications text colour only, from black to....white, or light blue, or other which result more readable on the black background.
I tried to edit and modify the hwt file, as well as the XML file contained into the com.android.systemui file, but unsuccesfully.
Can you explain me which file and line I must modify in order to have fixed this?
None can help me??? Fooox1, Kolembo,Hannanzikrea, please assist.
I've edited the stat_sys_battery_15.png file on a theme, but every time my phone goes down to that level the battery icon reverts to stock. All other times the battery icon displays the custom one. Anyone know why and/or how to fix this?

You should add another .png file with name stat_sys_battery_15_new.png and stat_sys_battery_7_new.png
