Anyone seen one that removes the status bar?
If you want to completely remove it, you are looking at a home replacement application.

If you are using home++ post here about it, not in the darchdroid thread, lets try to keep that one more on topic
If you don't know what home++ is, it is one of the best home replacement's out there. Check here for more details http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/
This app works with live wallpapers on the 2.1 builds IF you disable workspace looping in the preferences (Home-> menu -> preferences) and you download the beta from the website, not the market place
Yeah I saw all those posts in Darchs thread and wanted to share but did not want to clog up what has been a very productive Dev thread.
I agree Home++ is the best home replacement for 1.6+ devices. I was happy with GDE while on 1.5, but Home++ is in another league. In the market search Home++ Beta.
Here are some screenshots:

Thats right. It is actually by Koxx, a Dev here on XDA. The widgets are great. Very customizable and lots of skins. Check out his post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545097

Its called weather forecast widget. It is also by Koxx, just search his name in the market and you will find all the widgets.
One of the things I really like about Home++ is the ability to use the home screen in landscape mode. Other home replacements I have used also had this feature but did not scale widgets properly. Home++ seems to do a good job with the widgets I have been using.

Digital Clock Widget
I really like the clear theme without the task bar, but miss the task bars functionality. I was able to make a clear task bar in 1.5, but the wallpaper was cropped too short (black task bar). Hopefully that is not a problem with 2.1/Home++ as I am going to try to make a clear task bar for my home screen.
Does anyone know if the task bar is gonna give me hell if I try to change the text white?
Does an invisible widget / icon exist that can be made to launch a user defined app?
Maybe I'm going about this wrong...
Perhaps I can add an app to my home screen and change its icon to something completely transparent?
Either way, pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

So basically you want an app icon on your homescreen that noone can see?
I suppose you could make a transparent app icon of the correct size, or if it wont take transparency just put a pixel in it, and use BetterCut to assign it to the app..

Essentially yes. The effect I'm looking for in the end is to press a certain part of my background image and have a particular app launch.
I'll take a look at BetterCut, thanks

If you go to launcher pro.com and search the forum you can find the transparent icons. I use them and love it

Funny you mention Launcher, thats what I run and it occurred to me I can make a shortcut in it to the desired app and assign it a transparent icon.
As soon as I find a completely transparent icon, I'll be able to try it out...
get your sexting on!
There is a lot of empty space between the task switcher icon on the left and the clock on the right. Would be a perfect location for shortcuts to running apps etc.
That's a pretty good idea but as far as I know there is no way to do it unless some clever person has worked it out.

samsung has something like that on their SGT 10.1-roms... Maybe its possible to port that?
I don't find it THAT useful though...
there is a .app, something like quicklaunch, I use it with HC but can't remember the name... u should search in the market... but it's only quicklaunch, can't put shortcuts in bar

There was an application called Wizz Bar, you might be able to find it somewhere online. It allows you to press in the open space in the middle and it would open a little box over any application which you could launch from. That might work?
Here it is: Wizz Bar
I will look into Quick Launch, thanks.
It looks like Wizz Bar no longer works on ICS

Also try Elixir. cant remember if you can customise complicated shortcuts, but i know you can add toggle switches as well as quick launch apps

an "E" icon sits on the bottom right http://i.imgur.com/LwzlA.jpg
tapping that pops up a mini toolbar which you can customise with all sorts of toggles and switches.
I'm looking to get a translucent status bar on the homescreen, using Go Launcher.
Am rooted, but don't seem to be able to find any mods that can do it? Preferably would like to be able to choose %wise how translucent it is.
Here is an example from the HTC One showing it, and on my S4 lockscreen it does it. But would like it on the home screen too. When i'm in apps its fine to remain black.
Anyone know?
I'm pretty sure the launcher has to support statusbar transparency, and I don't know if Go Launcher does or not. Go Launcher sucks anyway; use Nova instead.

Ah is it just part of the launcher, that makes sense then. I'll give Nova a try.
Thanks!

Well, technically, it's not part of the launcher...it's still part of the rom's system UI. But the launcher has a bit of control, and can enable or disable the transparency. When the launcher doesn't support transparency, the rom views that as "disabling" it, and the statusbar is opaque. But you get the idea.
EDIT: Wait, hold the phone. What rom are you running?
