I've tried many different browsers with greyscale, inverting, and night modes. But this browser is the first I've ever seen do a clear transparent version before. I've checked all my websites and they all look amazing.
If you like blacked out and clear apps I suggest you check it out.

Here is how I make mine look blacked out.
1: get a completely black image, picture, or screenshot.
2: in the browsers theme section set the image you want as the wallpaper.
3: set the background to transparent

Brilliant find, really. Thank you for the tip!
Thanks for the tip.
I've done limited testing so far (did not even figure out how to set trans bg yet...), but while first looking into this on the market, I noticed that there was a mini UC Browser as well. I ended up spending more time on it than their full one.
A couple observations on Mini:
- good UI, but I do have to press my menu soft button twice every time in order to get to the opened tabs icon...;
-less options but also less "clogware" (or just stuff I don't need really);
- night mode a bit "lightish" in shade, but very good since it doesn't affect (invert) pics as Lightning (a similar) browser would;
- use fewer processes/services and about 5 times less RAM than the full version (and app itself is 10x smaller);
- could find a setting to easily switch between desktop/mobile and it seems like page zooming is not really possible... But layout seems always pretty good;
- nice touches like: top/bottom quick btns, bw saving/compression, 3 file downloads at once, auto-reconnect/resume dl (although this is marketing talk cause some site do not allow pause or resume...);
- more to discover..
And hopefully, we'll be able to theme bgs and text colors a little... I'll look into this tomorrow; can't wait... hehe!
Thx again, cheers!
Does UC support flash by now ? Did one of you try UC sync available for chrome desktop to sync tabs .... ?
That's great I love this one

I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.
The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.
It's basically windows mobile homescreen.
I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.
I wish this was a lock screen.
IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.
The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.
A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?
@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.

2nd that
Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.
I wish it was a widget!
Try QuickDesk or PowerStrip with this, working great for me, very pleasing to the eye..
wow i cant believe i missed this home screen
should be perfect with QuickDesk and PowerStrip
i dont get it??? Whats it suppose to do??
It's a shame FroYo won't let you change default launcher programatically any more (you have to do it through the settings). I would love to have had Tasker set this is default when I was at work, then LauncherPro the rest of the time

Currently there is no way to my knowledge to use clear or transparent notification bars with lp. But yesterday, I noticed that it would show through With a live wallpaper selected. I also recently downloaded just pictures which comes with a live wallpaper also.
So download Just pictures. Open it and select your favorite wallpaper(s) Long press it and add to favorites. Then go and select the just pictures live wallpaper. Then watch them shine through your previously installed clear taskbar.
I realize this is a live wallpaper and may use a little battery. Though I havnt Noticed any difference.

Interesting. This gave me a theory on why and how to fix it.......I just don't have the time to work on it right now. FINALS /oh noes/

exactly how i feel
anyways, why can't this be done by editing framework-res.apk? i'm pretty sure i had a clear taskbar when i edited mine. i just didnt like the look of the fully clear taskbar because some apps' backgrounds would show through the area where the taskbar went...but the point is it worked? i only use launcherproplus as well
I'm sure if you rip apart lp's Apk you might be able to. However im not that Savy with all that and I'm sure if it was that Easy it would have been done already. Unless devs are just not sharing.

launcher pro and live wallpaper don't work good together for me. it tends to be sluggish when scrolling through screens.
Do u have a quick link to setting up the battery indicator the way u have it displayed? I've been looking for something just like that.
edit: nevermind, found it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848803
Interesting. Are you saying that while using that program, I can choose non-live wallpapers and they would be transparent or only with live wallpapers? If using just images, it shouldn't really drain battery...I don't think...
I agree on the battery drain. And only live wallpapers will work
Supersonicly swyped while on the the pot at your moms house.
I havn't found a browser that I like 100%. I like Dolphin but I want something a little more clean/simple. Thats why, yesterday, I thought of making my own in photoshop (for now).
Let me know what you think.

So, that would be the main page. The three dots next to the Google logo would be a drop down menu for switching search engines and including others like Wikipedia, Wolfram-Alpha, Yahoo, ect. The icons at the bottom are from left to right: Home, Tabs (like when you do a home screen view on Sense/Launcher Pro/ADW/Go Launcher), Back/Front (Can be used on websites or tabs), Bookmarsk, Options.
The whole thing would also go into full screen mode and the top and bottom navigation bars would be brought up using the menu button (optional).
Again, very simple. At the bottom you have your main operations. Sort by (most viewed, alphabetical, ect.), Edit bookmark names/urls, and batch delete.
This is options menu. Options are seperated into three categories, Display, User and Misc.
I just realized that I forgot the enable/disable toggles (duh).
Anyway, this is pretty much my dream browser more or less. Im still working on some other things in photoshop.
Let me know what you guys think.
By the way, I got most of the icons from here...

I guess I would have to make my own if I actually developed this.
It's nice but i hate apps that doesn't use the native style of Android...why does everyone think that he needs to create an own UI?
Looks clean. I'd give it a try.

Not sure what you mean by that. If I used the native style of Android wouldn't it be just like the stock browser? Therefore, it would be pointless in me making one?
Im by no means a professional UI designer so im probably misunderstanding what you are saying.
I do agree with you about apps that Android doesn't already have stock though.
Hmmm.. It has WP7 icon style

Hello All!
I've been a long time Chrome user and now I'm trying out Dolphin HD. When configuring my home screen, I noticed 2 things:
1. There seems to be no easy way to rearrange the tabs that you've added on this screen. Is there some sort of add-on that allows you to do this?
2. There is a tab that says "Hot Android Apps". When I long press it, it doesn't give me the option to delete it. Does anybody know of a way where I can get rid of this? I already deleted it from Bookmarks but it didn't transition over to the home screen.
If you're wondering what screen I have been talking about this entire time, here is a picture of my home screen:

If anyone has any bright ideas, please let me know. I looked into the add-ons but haven't found anything yet that will allow me to fix this!
Also, is there anyway that you can make it that when you hit the Dolphin icon that it pulls up just the page you were on before? Every time I do it it opens up a new tab. I've changed the setting in Lab --> On Startup --> Open Previous Page and still no luck.

Unfortunately the only way I have found to return to the page I was on before is to hit my home button rather than "exit" or back out of Dolphin. The main reason I use Dolphin is for the gestures, it makes it so easy to go to a bookmarked page.
I was holding off on updating, after getting the Android 11 notification a few days ago in the UK, as I couldn't see much user feedback on One Hyper upgraded to Android 11. But I updated it today and while it seems to be working OK (with seemingly no loss in general performance), I did immediately notice a bug/feature on wallpapers.
It doesn't matter which app you use to apply a wallpaper, the system seems to take over and crop the image. When you pull down the notifications bar it zooms back out to the original 1:1 wallpaper.

Forgive the quality of the above gif, I didn't want to overload the thread with a massive image. But you get the idea.
I did a Google search and it seems to be a common issue, at least on some Android 11 devices, I saw some archived reddit threads from 2020. It's a shame but thankfully there is a workaround (if a little clunky). Apparently live wallpapers escape this weird bug/feature, so with an app like KLWP you can turn a wallpaper (like some of the 1080x2340 formatted wallpapers I made) into a live wallpaper. Again it works but for such a simple thing, it's a shame you have to jump through hoops that weren't there in Android 10.
Eh, why do they need to do these things. I'm already really annoyed that the lockscreen overlays a color tone over the image, dampening all cool vibrant colors and contrast. When i now choose a lockscreen wallpaper i have to overdrive the colors and contrast before applying it to counter the tone.
is this a bug? I thought it was some new effect of the system, if you repair it well, when you are using the Motorola launcher and make the gesture to open the app drawer, the same thing happens.
Whether it's simply an annoying new feature or a bug, either way it would be nice if it was an option.
Again I'm able to use the KLWP app to get around it, but its a lot of extra hoops for such a simple feature (and not a particularly intuitive app to use).
