I have tried many flashable mods from around the forums and non have worked. Are they rom specific?
Right now I have ARHD 3.6.8 XE running [Theme][All HTC Sense 3.0 Devices] GingerThyparancy - Transparent Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1191424) and its great. I have just been trying to get the clock background transparent. I cant seem to locate the correct PNG file to make it transparent.
I am also running GingerThyparancy Inverted Version from the market that accompanies this theme (https://market.android.com/details?i...GingerInverted) it makes the clock black with white numbers.
Does anyone know how to edit that skin to make the clock background transparent?
I decompiled the m10 files, I can see all the png files, but I dont know how to tell which is the clock background, once I decompile the m10 file how do i determine which square is the one behindthe clock .... or am I way off base here?
anyhelp is greatly appreciated
thanks
If your looking at it through m10, it's closer to the bottom of the list. Measure dimensions off a screenshot and look for the one with similar dimension of that measurement.

I used the command line tools to extract the files , when you say at the bottom of the list what order are they sorted in? or are you meaning inside a specific piece of software?

Having a problem, i have been trying to make the notification pulldown transparent and i made the png transparent, but now it just shows a black background. So i'm assuming there is a second background controled by a xml file or another png. Does anyone know what i have to edit to get it fully transparent?

2.2 requires an .xml edit in the services.jar to allow transparency in the notification background.

Thank you, thats what i was thinking. So i guess i will go poke around in the service.jar. Themeing the evo/2.2 is way more involved then 2.1/other phones
Looks good, can't wait... Thanks
Looks pretty sweet. My chick would love this on her evo

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.
Oh, nice clock, by the way... if you are going to use my clock, can you please use my download link instead, thanx.

What!!!!! your asking me to give away my trade secrets? Just Kidding!!!! In gimp right click png go to image=mode=switch to RGB mode. Now u should be set to change color.
Also quick note Not sure if u know but the signal bars are actually in the com.htc.resources.apk and are named cdma_sys_6signal_X
I did not know that's where they were. Thanks I am going to give that a try.

Thanks. Worked great. Now my next question is where is the location and location off png I have checked all pngs and can't find it ,, I could be overlooking it but does any one know the correct file to look in ?? Thanks

I believe what u are looking for is the gps pngs and it is in the com.htc.resources.apk and the pngs are sym_gpsone_3_sprint for gps off and sym_gpsone_0_sprint for gps on
Ok, so I tried to make a transparent or glass-like slider so that the background could be seen without affecting the tab icons though. The result is that the slider is now shown Black, although it is transparent (as you can see in the images below)!!!
Is it possible to make it somehow? I've from some members that it is not.
However I found icons for the clock and weather that are transparent as you can see (credits go to user antonda).
So what the heck???
hey!
very nice thing you tried to do there,however how did you manage to make the clock and below the clock transparent?I'm, using htc touch 2.If you can give me some tips on PM,it would be great.Thanks.
As I mentioned before all credits for my theme go to antonda and his theme that I'm using can be found here [SKINS]NEW Touchflo 2D 2.0 ONLY(Weather/Flipclock) Skins/Themes, posts 1145 and 1146.

Thank You for that link
With Jumba's "I C Thru U" app u can have a full clear slide bar.
Alternatively (manually) you can edit "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" file under "windows" folder!
You cant have "Glass" effect (semi-transparency) on M2D slider and let me explaine you why: M2D seems to be capable of reading only png8 files for slide bar, any png that you ll load to it it ll auto-converted to png8 so M2D can read it and you ll get your transparency png as an RGB colored image!
What is png8 file? It's a png at 8bit (256 colors) also known as web-png. Transparency at 8bit (256 colors) is pixelated so it sucks and it hasn't "Glass" effect in any case!
I hope i helped you!
Damn! And I thought we were getting close to find a solution... what I don't like with Jumba's app is that "cut-off" effect that is created when you slide the slider
Any way thank you very much for the info!!

im not really get it! what did u mean with "cut-off" effect? u mean that in "sliding" bar still stays invisible? can u post some screens?
With Jumba's app, as you can see in the first image, the slider image looks fine, but when i slide and go to the location for example, the slider image looks like it is cut-off and moved. It is not aligned with the rest of the background.
And as I understand there is no solution to that!

Aw ok! Thats cause Jumpa's app actually "cuts" a 240x38 part of image and replace it to M2D's slider. Maybe there is a solution for that im on it...
EDIT: I manage to make an Alpha Transparent PNG8 but still M2D denied to read transparent effect...
@ VIRUSPLUS:so,I I understand that with M2D you cannot have transparent slider,but you can with I C Thru(the thing is,I couldn't make it work on my mega).The question is,if it's this alternatively way (to edit hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png) how can I edit that png file,in order to have a nice and no trouble transparent slider?

You can't have transparent slider in any case.
You can have just a fake "transparency" with I C Thru or by editing "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" just for home tab! What this means and what I C Thru does? Look at image that i attach
aaa..ok ,now I understand.Thank you for clarification
ok, I hope I uploaded the right cab file (I have a little chaos here...). Please backup your files!
I created this theme from two other themes from this site (Jumba Bluesteel and Black Waterdrops (sadly, I can't find it, but I used parts of the slider from there)).
My homescreen is nearly empty, because I want to see my background image. If you have problems with the homesettings.xml please let me know.
If I understand you correctly, this theme should help you with your slider problem.
Bye

P.S. I added to images. I don't have a screenshot tool so sorry for the bad quality. As you can see the number for the sms isn't quite nice, but I hasn't been in the mood for the correction
Your theme
Hello, your cab was all wrong in the Home Setting, but I put it in place and I created this theme, which is fine, try it without fear!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954584&page=3
I'm sorry... I was so happy when I got the theme on my mobile and forget to clean up my hard drive and have too many versions...
But I hope your theme helps everyone who wants a transparent slider
Anyone know of any blue with black phone png's that I could use as an alternative to the one on the homescreen that I uploaded below? I'm looking for something not quite so squared...I think it would fit better if it was either more rounded, or freeform without the border (since the xda icon is freeform on the other side of the dock).
I did some homework on my own, but welcome more options.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
Are you talking about the png files for the icons you have? Have you checked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824656 ?
I would like black status bar on my HTC ONE S. Now is transparent in Sense 4.0.
Is it possible?

Try other Scenes and Skins under Settings/Personalize...pretty sure one of them has a black bar.
should be in systemui.apk system/app -drawable-hdpi I think
I think it is in Rosie.apk, because the transparent bar is ONLY visible in Rosie
Edit: I've figured out there is some sort of tweak in there that makes the allready existing bar half transparent, so It's not only changing a PNG

Hi guys! Hope I'm posting in the right section.
Is there any way to get the dock bar (also known as launch bar) on the bottom of the home screens to be (semi-) transparent? Should be possible since HTC's own "Serene", "Memories", "Painting the world" and "Spaceship Earth" skins have a semi-transparent dock. Now if you're asking, why I just don't use one of those skins, it's because they add a different color scheme and I like the default android-green one.
I'm also a fan of Sense 4, so I do not want to use any launchers, but would be willing to flash a custom Sense Rom if there's one with a transparent dock (or if there's another way to achieve transparency on a custom rom)
Thanks in advance!

I suggest using the Axiom S ROM as it has an option to easily toggle this setting with no flashing tweaks. When I tried TrickDroid and the tweaks package, I had soooo many issues. With Axiom, it all works.
