[Q] Transparent bottom dock \ launch bar? - HTC One S

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!

You can either make your own skin, or install leedroidROM

Download trickdroid tweaks for tweaks app or extract energy tweaks from energy rom
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Use trickdroidrom install the tweaks app and supersmooth rosie and then you have it

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.

[Theme] Updated 09/16 0.2 Evophone 7 cm6.0 and 09/15 nightly

This thing was inspired by newone757 (Layout thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455) and and his beautiful looking icons and idea. I ended up modifying the elegant steel theme as some of it meshed well with this concept and added some spiffed up the transition animations. This is in it's early stage and needs to be cleaned up some but i'm throwin it out there so hopefully I can get some feed back.

Icons are attatched at the bottom except for the colored tile ones.... Heres the direct link for them http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=391882&d=1283212553 and here is the authors thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769047
Good app to have for this is Colors and the Author is Tim Clark, you can find it on the market. It basically lets you choose from a variety of solid color wallpapers.
The animations have a little more pop to them if you set the transition speed to slow in spare parts.

Nice stuff

This is awesome! Any chance for a sense version?
ded secksy!!
Except for the settings menu icons, they're a little bigg, imo
I've been planning to theme the AOSP dialer but I think I may not need to now. I love the minimal look on that one
Updated a few thing to make it look a lot better see first post for changelog. I also found that this theme runs smooth on 09/15 but not so much when I flash snap kernal 7.6. I am running it perfeclty on 9/14's nightly with snap turbo though.
Wow.. Once I saw the first swipe at this "7" concept, I knew there would be more goodies to follow... Since Elegant Steel is a pretty much grey/black/white theme, i'm seeing a version of this which has all of the large elements to it and page titles, but only in a gradient theme with no color.
Hopefully one of the launcher developers adds this functionality to ADW or LP in a more automated process, as its still somewhat of a hack to get the finished look.
Great work..

Yes you can just get the widget icons from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
looks nice... will try it out.
Is Snap simply not working on the nightly's past 9/14 then? I believe Spicytuna or Shift said in the Snap thread that the kernel size changed in the stock kernel after that, so that may be the reason.
I'm loving the theme. Is there a way to speed up the market cause search results take forever to pop up also, is there a way to fix the lay over on the search bar? Apart from these issues, wonderful job to all the people who made this possible.
what's the clock and battery widget?

Semi-transparent status bar?

What's up all. Looking for someone to help out on this.
I've been trying to find a way to make the status bar semi-transparent. (not notification bar) Is there a way to flash a zip file and have the status bar transparent or half way so the wallpaper is showing. This will make the screen look bigger and the over look on sense themes will be sweet.
I'm using the mannup revolution theme that comes with redemption rom.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It would be awesome if someone could make a standalone zip (the one in the post includes the round battery indicator) with just the transparency
Lots of transparency mods don't include transparency on the item backgrounds, and that one does. Pretty awesome

Thanks for the help guys!!! This will get me started. I tried flashing the the transparent bar over Redemption rom with the incredible revolution theme and the bar was only transparent when the phone was in lock. After I unlock the phone it went back to the black status bar. Might have been because I removed rosie to only use launchepro. I'll mess around with this and post if I get anywhere.
I'm surprised there are not more themes with an option for the semi-transparent status bar. Even the semi status bar when phone is locked looked awsome.
If any one has any other ideas, please post them. Thanks!!!
It only fully works when using the sense launcher.
I would use it, but it removes any rosie mods (such as the manup sexy rosie skin) when applied so i haven't been able to use it lately.
Yeah same here. I wish it was as simple as flashing a zip to change the script in a current theme framework.

Privet,its in services.jar file its simple to mod but i dint know what line it is that makes it transparent.The mod you have becomes clear with lwp's also.
I've been messing with this for a while, I've got mine transparent, but it turns out launcher pro doesn't support the transparencies. As soon as I install launcher pro it goes solid black.
really? i didnt think launcher pro had any affect on the notifications bar
Yeah I had the same issue. I'm using the redmptive rom now with the matted blues theme. I edited the theme to have the transparent bar and decided not to use launcher pro anymore.

Do it through ninja morph... worked for me. Only issue is that all of the notifications for battery and signal have black backgrounds that you'll have to fix as well.

[THEME][REQ] MIUI semi-transparent notification bar on CM6

As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!
Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>
I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?
I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.
I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?
+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.
i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw
I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.
Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

Change Sense to 5 column layout? And other Sense questions

Hi all
Coming back to Sense from CM is giving me a few issues but there's a few things I was wondering if I could change to make it more to my liking.
1.) Is it possible to have more than 4 columns of icons across the homescreens?
2.) Is it possible to change the right soft key on the navbar (the palette and brush)? I've owned a hero, A Desire, a Desire HD and a Sensation and don't think I've ever pressed it!
3.) Is it possible to have more than 4 columns in the app drawer?
I know I can install a new launcher but I was wondering if it's possible to just do it on Sense with a couple of mods.
Thanks for any help!

Request: Transparent Notification Bar For Custom Roms

as you probably know the transparent notification bar (used in Sense 4.0) is no longer there when you use a custom launcher / sense-less rom. i think it could be cool to get it back because it makes quite a difference in terms of looks. perhaps this thread might be helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523703
any help on how to get it going on One S the easy way or a flashable mod is appreciated.
