Clear Taskbar

I did a search, found one but the icons are changed. Does anyone have a .zip to have a clear taskbar (completely see through bar at the top) and leave whatever current icons I have on?

unless its metamorphed then it will change ur icons at the top. the png is in the framework files so what ever the framework file where someone changes the png will also change the icons that are in the framework file. like mentioned above the only other alternative is to use a metamorph to just change that one file.

Can you point me in the direction to that through metamorph?

Not sure what format they need to be in, but here is what appears to be the .psd template for those icons:
http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/android/Android Launcher Pro Custom Icon Template Text Version.psd

They need to be in png format. That file is used to make custom icons with photoshop I believe. Unfortunately I don't have a computer so.. i need the png files.

You all just didn't look hard enough. There is a directory for all of his icons. Took me all of half a minute to find.

The files can be edited in photoshop, the only layers visible should be the text that you want to see as the icon.
After you get them how you'd like, save them as PNG files and copy them to your SD card and you're good to go.

can somebody just turn them into .png n post them plz

You can literally change everything about the appearance of your phone. Any apk file can be opened and modified. If you download an app from the market, but you don't like the icon, you can open the apk and replace the icon.png You can also change the color of your menus etc. It is a complicated process and you'll have to learn how to work with apks, edit 9.png files, and even work with XML files and HEX colors. I actually gave up on themeing because it ended up taking up too much time...but if you're willing to jump in and get your elbows dirty you can change anything you want about your phone's appearance, and it actually is a really rewarding experience. To get started, just search the forum for a "guide to themeing".
You can also ask some of the themers for advice by sending them a private message. That's the best way to learn, if someone is willing to teach you.
Hope that helps.

Well I thing i got changing the icons down. an when i open the xml files in a hex editor theres too meny numbers, any simpler way to change colors by chance?
Im really surprised that kno one has been able to evelope an app that just gives a list of colors an icons an what not an u just click ok, if i was developer savy anuff id tottally have an app editor in the works

Just realized somthing, to change icons, wouldnt it be smarter to just open the apk in root explorer an over write the icon, insted of moving it to ur computer an possibly making it not install back on ur phone?

nah its a lot deeper than that, because after you open and edit an APK the .apk file must then be re-signed it's like it's digital signature... or it will not install on your phone... There are a few apps out that help a lot with the theming process.. and as for .xml files i think they are encrypted so you would have to use an xml decrypter and edit it then encrypt it again and add it back into the apk and resign the file... all these topics are covered in various parts of the forums though... here's a link with lots of information that can help you along your way...

xml files in android are not encrypted they are just compile form of xml. Its a space saver thing.
As for having a program to edit things in xml files on the fly its might be possible but since xml its soooo generic and there is really no way to make a program that would go through an xml file and change the things that represent colors and value etc... Something like this could be done for say a framework but then it would really be only for that framework or apk.

I copied the browser from system app to my sd an opened it with 7zip i didnt extract it i just moved the icon i wanted to the corect spot. an moved it back over to system app an copied over the old now browser is gone y wont it install :S

did you take out META-INF file then resign it that works for me sometimes

Lol didn't we just say it had to be re signed to replaced stuff in the apk.
Also tip fore you guys when you resign an apk you don't need to delete the meta inf folder in will replace the old one

I got the apk signed what am i doing wrong, i moved the new signed apk back to my sd card an moved it back to system/app an it still dont install. this is getting very frusterating.
Is is because its a stock system app that i didnt download or what?

maybe rename it back to its original name. dont move it from the sdcard to the system/app folder just use astro and open it from the sdcard then it will install.

still wouldnt work but adb did witch it took me hours to figure out how to set up adb.
so is there a good adb cmd guide on here

Stuck while making a new theme because of an icon!

Hi everyone! Im making a theme for Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab and am stuck because of an icon I cant get rid of or find where it is! Can someone help and tell me WHERE the icon (below attached) that pops up on the task bar during Media Scanning, is hidden? I looked everywhere, all system APKs I can think of including framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and cannot find it anywhere. Its driving me crazy!
I've successfully modded stat_notify_sdcard.png, stat_notify_sdcard_prepare.png and stat_notify_sdcard_usb.png from framework-res.apk and during PREPARE SD CARD operations the new updated icons show up.
However during MEDIA SCANNING operations, the old shows up again, no matter what. This stock icon I want to replace is hiding still somewhere else (..I cleaned all caches multiple times just in case and doesn't fix it)
Thanks in advance for the tip!

maybe you find in under music player ?
who knows

You're right again, thank you very very much!! Im almost done with all the graphics except one and editing some XMLs:
First, the download successful graphic was indeed in the vending.apk but when the download is not successful the standard red warning triangle is displayed. This graphic is not part of the vending.apk so im assuming its pulled from the standard stat_sys_warning.png from framework-res.apk?
Finally, I need to change and that is the size of the fonts for the date display on the top right of the taskbar. Do you know which XML or file I need to edit to change that font size?

I do believe the status bar clock is controlled by the services.jar and not a particular. Xml file, but ive never edited that clock so i am not 100% positive. Im horrible with smali code. Sorry! Yes the stat-notify-error.png in framework-res would control the statusbar icon for errors while downloading apps.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that one is either framework-res or twframework-res (if you're still on a TW ROM). I thought I saw it in amongst the stat_sys_* images, but I could be completely wrong. I don't think I've tried editing that one.
EDIT: By the way, check in status_bar_expanded.xml and status_bar.xml for some parameters regarding the clock, but be careful cos they can ruin a theme (everything from graphical artifacts to bootloops) quite easily.

Using Icons From Themes In Nova Launcher

Is it possible to use the icons from the stock Theme Store in a 3rd party launcher such as Nova?

Did you ever figure this out... I know we can change the icons but only built in one's show up

If your rooted, you could use a file explorer app like root explorer to go into data/app and find your themes appicon folder. Inside you will see a base.apk. You can copy that base.apk onto your phone and extract it, or pull it onto your pc and extract it. Inside you will see a res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13 folder. The icons are in there. Save them in a folder on your phone and manually edit your icons in Nova on your homescreens and /or folders to replace icon.
I know it sounds like a bunch of work, but it really doesn't take that long. It's about the only way you can do it.

Here's what the folders for the themes look like in data/app.....

I've been trying to make a similar change. I'm using the Sense 7 Launcher and the only icon I have left is the "Apps" icon. I'd like to change it out with this icon.
I have looked in data/app/com.htc.launcher-1 and copy that base.apk to a different location on my phone. Opened the base.apk. Found res/drawable/all_apps_button_icon.xml
My question is what is the best way to convert my image to an .xml and replace the one in the base .apk so I can paste it back into the original location?
Ugg. I sure hope that made sense?

Thanks. My AnaKonda theme got released in the Sense themes about 3 weeks ago. I think it's in the others section. But those themes are pretty simple and don't really get into deep theming.

Sweet. I hope it gets lots of hits. Can you see how many downloads it has?
