EVO 4G user... I was able to make some modifications to make my status bar transparent... looks nice... however its transparent all over the place... meaning when i open the web browser it gets lost in the white background... when i pull down notifications the it covers the whole screen except the status bar.. when i click the all apps button it covers the whole screen except the status bar... when i open my contacts again gets lost in the white background... however when i open call history or settings it turns it black and visible which i like... any way to make the browser and contacts display a black status bar... any way for the status_bar_background.png fill the screen including status bar?... any way to darken it when i click all apps button?
So, I've got a desktop full of images that I use as icons through the use of Desktop Visualizer. My whole screen (apart from dock) is filled with these images and I kind of wanted to get rid of the dock and replace it with one of these icons.
I found a solution to making the dock disappear through the use of ADW Launcher which allows you to hide the dock. It's not ideal since I would've preferred to use Nova Launcher (I'm on CM9 and I love Nova Launcher) but it has no option to hide/disable the dock (in fact, ADW Launcher is the only launcher that I've found with this option).
Anyway, now that the dock is gone, I can use it for widgets (which is basically how Desktop Visualizer works) however Desktop Visualizer does not allow you map "App Drawer" as an action. So basically all this effort has been for nothing unless I can find a way to map the icon to App Drawer.
Another thing I considered was a launcher/dock that allowed you to use custom sized icons for actions (most launchers only allow you select a certain sized icon to replace the default) but I couldn't find anything.
I've tried to search both XDA and Google but couldn't find anything useful.
TL;DR - Need Desktop Visualizer alternative or a way to map one of the widgets to act as app drawer icon.
Thanks in advance.
I need help with this too. Any ideas?
The only way I managed to do this in the past was to use a normal icon and the widget, and overlap them. (In ADW settings there is the option to allow overlapping.)
First insert the app drawer icon (Press hold > launcher actions > Open/Close app Drawer)
Insert your Desktop Visualizer widget, select the icon image, and set the action to none. Then press and hold on it, and using the re-size arrows drag it under the app drawer icon.
Finally press and hold on the app drawer icon, and change the icon to a transparent (empty) image.
You have to insert the app drawer icon first, as that makes it on top.
Its a pretty crude way of doing it, but I don't think there is another way, although I would happily be corrected if there is!
Or you could possibly just put the icon on your wallpaper then use a transparent icon.
In that way, you could have many possibilities in theming your desktop.
I must be missing something because I can't find the option (or others asking about it), but the quick launch icons on the bottom of the lock screen (around the lock icon) are not there anymore. Was that option removed, or am I just missing how to enable them? I thought Sense just used the same icons that you have defined on the launcher?
I've also noticed that even though I've selected the productivity lock screen, it doesn't show any of my calendar events and only shows the basic lock screen with no quick launch icons.
Thanks for any help.
Hello
is there any adb command or something that can force black color on the statusbar in all applications? I used to use SamTweak2 to force navbar black but running with no navbar now so no need for it.
I cannot add the icon to the desktop icon theme. Give me this error: can't create icon in current mode
How add icon theme the desktop?
