after changing the better part of my icons
i tried to make some nice icons for my contacts in my quiklist
i took a photo of my friend deleted the background an made a nice frame saved it as an png
and opent it in outllook as her picture
but outlook does not keep the background transparent !!!!
is there a way around this ?????
Not in Outlook I'm afraid.
.Net CF controls do not support transparency, so anyone developing software that does support it has to code their own image rendering methods. It's a pain in the arse, but that's the way it is.
Anyone considered theming the stock messaging app? Its actually not that different from wp7 messages app except the colors. Would quite like to see this happen, I love the black background. Seems it would only take editing a few Res files, tho more than I know how to do.
is there any program out there or registry tweak or xap or anything that would let you change the background picture, so instead of it being plain black you can make it a picture. i know you can change the color but can you make it a picture?

No, you can only change the icons with a background picture which looks cool but creates tiles that are not live so your notifications and stuff like that won't work. I know it sucks ass.
A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.
I have been trying to find the code for setting a kik messenger background image. I have tried editing the apk file however that does not work, as the background is set to a solid color. Even when putting in the code to add an image it does not work, the application just force closes or the picture never loads.
Can any one, or has anyone successfully added an image background to kik messenger chats?
Please assist if you can, I have been searching for a way to do this forever!

The only way I have been able to change the backround is having a custom theme with the picutre you want for the kik app. I know that the cm blacked out theme turns the backround black as well. You could try making your own theme and applying the picture you'd like in the theme so it would be applied in kik, but to do that you need a rom that supports custom themes. Hope this helps!

Thanks Olycius! Maybe that is why it wasn't working for me... I will look for some themeable roms for my Galaxy II. I wish someone could edit the apk successfully.
Could you load a screenshot of your kik displaying an image as the background in the chat? I would like to see an example if possible..

I just saw this post, and decided although it may be a bit late, id comment anyway. a few of the recent "SpecialModded" kiks have backgrounds, although they are a bit older than what body care to use. if you can ignore this, then you have a themable kik with an image background, as long as you know what youre doing. for more info or access to this, pm me on kik @ XDAHelper.
I take no credit for these themes but go to laveyan.CO/pikek
Some of the themes have inappropriate content just forwarning you
And I haven't found a dark version without a bug so stick to the light. Hope this helps
