You want to make an app application transparent so you can look through and see the homescreen/launcher?
I don't think this is possible without major recoding of the app.

Its got to be an XML in layout of the frameworks.apk
im right with you man. i even pm'd a few theme creators who make them on other devices but have the clear background. one response was that it was default for his device to use whatever background you currently have.
im on an eris with the same problem ha
THANKS!!!!!!!!
Can I just remove the file if I find it and use SDK to push it back? or do I need to use Metamorph? havent really done this before

U can't pull just the file and push it back. U can metamorph it or u can take out the app and the push the whole app back. Ill look for it when I get home.

Just to let you know, its clear by default in an AOSP ROM. So, you might want to take a look at com.htc.resources first..

New app idea.

I constantly walk and text so hate having to look up to see if anything is coming. Is there an app out there that makes the sms screen transparent with the camera screen as the wallpaper? Or display a small camera image just above everything? Not sure if this is the right section for this so re-direct me if thats the case.Thankyou for your time and i look forward to any replies.
Probably possible, but who would take the time to implement it?
Idea of the year that
Already exists for the iphone, surprised it doesn't for android yet!
Actually it exists in the samsung own android store, check out the galaxy s section i think you can find the apk somewhere.

Same, might be because we're 1.6 and not 2.1.

Theme or app to change background of drawer?

Is there any theme or app out there that can change the background color of the drawer or even make it transparent?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
If you use adw launcher you can have any color, or transparency.
Sent from my rooted X10a using Tapatalk
If you use the stock launcher you can edit the framework to change it or you can find a theme or you can use ninjamorph if you have a copy of the image you want to replace it with.
Hope this helps.
When I used Ninjamorph and replaced some png's in framework-res.apk my device didn't boot anymore. What could be the problem?

@daul
Which pngs did you replace?
It could be that the pngs are of different sizes to the original ones?
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
its stuff like that, that makes me not wanna do any editing of those files. Will try the ADW Launcher
@ gavriel18 How easy is it to edit those files?
Its not too bad.. This my first attempt so I believe anyone can do it!!
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
Afaik the pngs get resized automatically. I was getting at the possibility that u tried editing a 9.png. they have data built in so u can't use ninjamorph. Imho ninjamorph is easy to use. Just read the instructions first.
Btw I have no prior graphic design or programming experience. That's how easy it is.

Gps and bluetooth icon for the status bar.
but these are no 9.pngs.
Every time after I have to confirm finishing my project in Ninjamorph, there comes a little screen: please wait. I think this is because it wants to reboot. But after a few second it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery because my device isnĀ“t able to do anything.
I hope you understand what the problem is..

They are the same size in escence. Its just the way the dev has scaled the icons. I doubt there's anything you can do to change the size of them in the app drawer.

MIUI does something like that for some of it's themes! It basically adds a thick border alongside all icons to ensure all icons are of the same size!
