LG contact widget - G2 Themes and Apps

As you probably already noticed at least on g3 org4 ported contacts there is in my opinion ugly white border around circled contacts widget.
I found appropriate .PNG file [lg_contact4x1_default_frame.png] and applied transparency. At least now i have full RECTANGLE picture of the contact for widget.
Does anybody know, what would i have to change, to get CIRCLED contact picture without border?

these?

Like this yes. I think its not (just) png which has to be edited but some XML also

White Text: I need a favor from a themer...

I have modified the official Twitter app widget to match my theme minimalistic...problem is the text is black and I need it to be white...can anyone take the apk I attached and convert the widget text to white for me...please :-(
attached.
changed the same 6 xmls as in the transparent white morph.
would it be wrong to say I love you? lol
thanks man.
As well... just a suggestion, but maybe white text on the Facebook widget as well. That grey is very hard to read with your minimalistic theme. If not, it's cool... more along the lines of just a suggestion.

I wasn't aware it didn't exist...because I had a theme prior to this theme and that facebook already had the XML edits.
I suggest you flash a dark FB widget morph from another theme then flash the minimal metamorph.

Beyond Frustrated!!! Transparency Cabs!!!

I was told that if I copied over the Manila File 4f914e0d with one that was edited to make the text on my home screen, "CALENDAR" go away but it does not. Does anyone have a cab file for this. When I use cookie's tab to "show when relevant" the date and alarm pops up with a grayish background. Also my clock has clear borders around it!!! I'm trying to get rid of this crap so I can have and enjoy the background I like. I've been up since 9AM EST reading through several posts and installing and uninstalling cabs and manila files to no avail. I NEED HELP!!!!

You should check the stickies... and install transparency cabs for whatever item you want to have transparent.

Yea those two threads do nothing for me. There isn't a cab that removes the "text" 'Calendar' from the homescreen. There is one that removes it from the lockscreen. And there isn't a Cab that removes the "clear frames" from under my digital clock. Also I've noticed where people can edit the word "start" on the top curtain...how can I do this?

Clear frames from under the clock??? Are you talking about the background for the calendar/alarm on the home screen? That would be the first cab.
and the no start text cab is the 2nd one.
If this isnt what you are looking for, please give us a screen shot pointing to what you need.
OK do you
see how this image has frames around the digital clock
Also you see the text "calendar" right below the date and alarm.
I want to remove calendar and I want to remove those "clear" frames around the digital clock. Also its not about removing the text "start" in the top curtain...I want to edit it. See the other picture...
EDIT: I removed the text/word "Calendar" from my homescreen by selecting menu/Edit Home Layout: Then I held pressed "Calendar" and it prompted me if I wanted to remove it and there it went.. Now the only thing ...those darn eyeglass frames around my digital clock and editing the top curtain.
That should remove the clock background fully. It is in one of or both posts I posted in post 3.
That

Didn't work. Most of the Touch X's i've used do not work. I'm running the new TmoUS ROM on my HD2. Also I do not want to remove that "start" in the top curtain as so much as to edit it. Also do you know of a way besides HDWALL and B4ALL to get the homescreen wallpaper to show on the top and bottom curtains as well...?
Are those "frames" not part of the clock itself and not a background. I think you need to look for another completely transparent clock. I'm not sure which one to suggest, but that's where I'd be looking rather than cabs for transparent backgrounds
Interesting

hmmmm...let me search on that. But how about the top and bottom curtains and editing the top to put my name up there like in that picture

Try these, unzip and copy files to \Windows (backup the originals first ) and then overwrite the originals. You may need to use Total Commander or Resco File Explorer to do so.
For editing the name on the top I use CHT Editor, but you can also try MaxTTM (look in the Blackstone aka Touch HD section) if you don't use the Co0kie Home tabs mod.
EDIT: I see you also use the CHT Editor - so to change the operator name is very easy, go to - Menu\CHT Editor\Miscellaneous settings> and scroll down to Custom Operator text and edit to whatever you wish
I agree with Clyde. That cab should remove the BG of the clock all together.
I have a stock rom T-MoUS as well, and 90% of the Touch X cabs work for me. so they should work for you no probs. Maybe you have something installed that
does not get along with the cabs.
As for the start text thing.. I dont know if you can edit it. I know it can be removed. Not seen it edited to say something ells. CHT will allow you to change the operator text, just below the start text.
After looking at the second pic again. I *THINK* that is a personal rom that Antonio uses. If that is the case, he has that cooked into the rom like that.
You can also try this to edit the Operator name - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359563&highlight=personalizer

Yea I like the basic clock...i'm just trying to find one without those clear borders. And I already edited the Carrier name right below the top curtain...I just didn't know that was built inside a ROM within the Top Curtain...I thought that was a cab...
Now just to be clear

That zip file contains files that will make my home tab top and bottom bars/curtains transparent so my wallpaper will show the entire length of my display?

No. it will only take away the shaded areas behind the Operator name and behind the sliders. To skin the taskbar and softkey bar you need to use something like HD Wall, or alternatively the volDeus tweak (link in my signature) but HD Wall is a little easier to use. You can also skin the bars using MaxTTM referred to earlier.
I do not

[Q] Gmail Theme Q

So I am just trying to change the Icon color that you see on the main screen and when you open up Gmail. I cannot find that blasted png anywhere. I have checked all the drawable and the only ones I have locted are the widget ones and the stat notify ones. I have already change their color. I really SUCK at doing .9's so I am only doing the main icons. Does anyone know were they are located?

Png icons

Been checking out icon packs most of the morning. I'm noticing some packs absolutely refuse to display in the gallery. Once gallery is done "loading" the set all the thumbnails are just blank, empty black pictures. Does android only support png images saved in a certain way?

UOT Kitchen and Signal Bars

Hey all, I'm using UOT Kitchen to change my status bar icons and battery icon. The battery worked out fine but the status bar icons are being a little uncooperative. The signal bar icons change sometimes, but often revert back to stock signal bars. The fact that the look keeps changing is annoying. I've read that it's because UOT gives the images the wrong names in the .zip, and I need to change the names for the phone to display the images at the right time. But question is, how do I do this? I assume I'd have to match each image to the corresponding stock image and make them have the same name, then just replace the images in the systemui.apk file, if possible.

Yep that should do the trick...you can use 7zip to browse the files of an apk
If that doesn't work then you may have to decompile the apk.and do some smali/and or xml edits...I really depends on the icons you choose I think...what you would be doing is changing the references from stock to the uot

While in 7zip viewing the .png images, I click on them and Windows Photo Viewer comes up... but for some reason, no image loads. How can I view the images in the .apk so I can tell which images match up? I need to view the .png files but it doesn't seem to want to let me see a preview with Windows Photo Viewer.

You can extract them then view them, edit them, rename them etc...once your done with your edits just delete the old ones from the APK and add your new modified/renamed one...
The only images you can't edit (you can still rename...just make sure you leave the ".9" in front of the ".PNG" ) are .9.pngs -if you want to actually edit a .9.png with you will need to decompile the apk with apktool...and even then they still need to be edited in a special way. In case your wondering a .9.PNG is basically an image with no set dimension...as in it can be minipulated by .xmls to stretch (an example of one is the message box in the SMS app...the longer the text message the bigger the message box...it gets stretched down)
