Now and again i like a change in the backround of my blueangel, i would like to make some decent images myself but i am no image making expert.
What i would like to know is when i place a logo on a backround i have a white area around the icon which rounds it off to make a square image does anyone know how i make the white area around the icon disappear so it sits on top of the backround with just the icon no white edges around the icon.
Confused.
Are you saying that you have icons on your Today's plugin that, when you are creating these icons, instead of having transparent background, you are getting a white background?
Yeah thats right also does anybody know the correct image format that iLauncher accepts for changing icons e.g my message icon with the paper sticking out change to >>> outlook icon.
Thanks.
Can some of the experienced taskbar modders make a white > silver gradient taskbar icons? Nothing to fancy, maybe take the design of the vista/windows 7 notification icons into affect. they are limited colors that blend together. The icons are not 3d, they are flat, some have color but they look good.
I find most of the task bars here are trying too much and sacrifice professionalism and readability.
I can do it myself, just need a guide on the dll files and locations to edit. I have iconworkshop and i assume i can safely edit the icons in the files and won't corrupt them.
I had a hard time finding a theme I wanted and didn't have the time to make my own, all I was wanting was a special status bar that was partially transparent. So heres what its come down to, I used the KewlGrey Theme and mixed it with the Stock DE03 Theme. Added in KewlGrey Status Bar, Status Backround, Different Font, and last but not least the Color of the Notification when you touch it.
EDIT: The forum will not allow me to post the image URLs and the ZIP for the theme is to large to be uploaded in the manager
EDIT2: Managed to upload the pics but cant get the theme up yet due to Newbie restrictions
The fact that the notification-bar icons are actually larger than the grey background bar makes it look rather messy.
Also the date (when the notification bar is pulled down) has a different grey background as well.
I think you should sort these things out first, to be honest

I 've managed to extract framework folder.I opened framework-res.apk and found a lot of folders.I assume the .png i am looking for is located in drawable-ldpi folder,but the problem is that i cannot find which .png it is.If someone could guide me things would be much easier.Thanks Daniel for your response,can't wait for your themes...
Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.
thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.
I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.
ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...
Hi all.
I would have posted this in the MIUI forums but I'm having problems signing up.
Basically Iv been messing round with my themes in MIUI and was wondering if someone could help me out.
See i like the stock black and white bar with the percentage, but was wondering if someone could incorporate this with a black pull down with blue icons. Like the notification area in reDARKend 2.4 Special, but obviously with the stock black and white icons on the notification bar, and completely transparent on the home screen?
I have tried applying different status bars but all the ones with the stock like bar have a white pull down which conflicts with the white notifications text used by the current theme.
Oh, and also can anyone tell me how i can theme the keyboard? I want it blue and blck, like everything else i like my theme to match throughout
