Apps Organizer skins?

Hi. I was wondering, is there any way to mod the window that pops up when you click on the widget? I want to get some sharp corners and a black/gray bg.

Is it just a png that can be changed or is it a more complicated endeavor?

need help
right ive opened up the apk theres no relevent png's so i guess the colours etc are in xml's how do i set it to transparent and move it to bottom of screen?
I know it's not what you want to hear, but...
You could purchase Folder Organizer (paid app by the same dev). It has same functionality but with more options, like changing the backgrounds of the folders, changing app icons, and you can add shortcuts, contacts, bookmarks, etc to folders.
Just a suggestion. It's the best app I've ever bought, and the couple of bucks has to be worth the time of changing the xml files.
Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you want to just change Apps Organizer I'm sure you need to figure out where the values are in the xml & change it accordingly.

Folder Organizer uses the panel_background.9.png file from the system framework res drawables folder. That's why it's not in the apk. In order to change the look, you have replace this file with the modded panel_background.9.png file you want to use in your framework.apk. However, because you're modding the panel_background.9 file, it will be like this for ANY apk that also accesses this 9.png file. But that's what you need to do if you really want to mod the backgound to have sharp corners.
I can't find it under root explorer

I've tried with spare parts but it dosent work, when I change font size from regular to large it changes back to regular automatically.
Anyone know why this is happening? Or is there any other apps? I really hate the original font size.

you gotta wait for fre3dom to use LCD density, or dont reboot with temp root and hope the spare parts settings stick...
either way, get used to it, or have patience, its not gonna change anytime soon

Im using spareparts plus. And it works decent. Yes it will revert on reboot. But I just open the app back up and just choose large for the font and then back out of the app. Sense will take about 3 to 5 seconds to adjust. Afterwards the font will be large. Also I turn off the auto rotation in display settings because if you rotate the phone while spareparts plus is activated it will revert back to stock. But I keep a short cut to spareparts plus and display settings on my home screen to make it a little easier. You can find the app on the android market "spareparts plus" Also it has no ads and is a decent work around until root. Well hope this helps.

How do you change DPI?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
You could edit the build.prop or download an app from the Market, called "LCD Density Changer". Smaller density the smaller everything gets on the screen, the higher the density the bigger, stock DPI is 240.
Also an app called nitrality. You can change dpi and its stays even after reboot, also you get secret dial codes like angry GPS(test GPS), and more stuff!!

Resolution script

Is there a way i can script my phone to have 1200x720 resolution only when i open browser, then going back to default 800x480 on desktop?
I have used apps like lcd density/resolution to change it before but i have to manually set it every time which sucks.

Nope, changes to the build.prop require a system reboot to take effect.
You can't just make your phone more hd it doesn't work like that

Changing pixel height of virtual buttons bar and Notification bar?

I have a MoPho Q and have the bootloader unlocked through MotoDev's site, flashed CWM recovery, and am running Arrrghhh's kernel v 0.10. I have set my screen resolution to 180, it's nice have more virtual space to play with. However, I noticed that the sizing of the Virtual button bar and Notification bar have not changed (only the icons inside them). I read somewhere that this is due to these settings being contained within certain system files (I will describe these files in next post).
I am curious if there is a simple way to reduce these bars' pixel heights to free up valuble screen space, or if any devs out there are aware of any apps or flashables to fix this issue. Thanks.

There is a special prop for that (see the build.prop, don't remember it now, but it's easy to figure).
Well, easy nuff, but I am using ROM Toolbox to edit build.prop and I think that particular tool only reads and edits one of the many build.prop files (I've seen a few different build.prop files in the system). Any idea which ones to find, access and change?
