Transparent apps...what's missing ?

[jatx2wne]

jatx.. what the hell did you change to get it transparent? I've been beating myself up on Facebook for over a week!!

sorry I didnt mess with it earlier :icon_eek:
I started with the inverted one from the other thread. Changed styles and android manifest to go to theme.Wallpaper. then started going thru layout and changing bgs to @android:color/transparent. Im sure this isnt complete but like I said my account is blank so its hard for me to fully test it should be a good base though

Hey X on another note have messed with themeing any gb roms....things dont seem to stick.

App looks good. Only place is when its scrolling thru messages or friends it turns black but I could live with that. What I'd like to go with it tho is the transparent widget.

alright thank you very much....that bg that changes is a cachecolorhint i should be able to find it and ill look at the widget and hopefully come up with something before whenever it is I go to bed.

jatx.. I haven't yet. Its my understanding that there is a new themeing system for GB? In other words, what we do now ain't going to get the job done anymore.

Didn't realize you could change to @drawable/transparent . Man that really gets my blood boiling..lol Something so simple hangs me for a week.

yeah from what ive seen yuou can change just about anything to @android:color/transparent you just have to make sure the @android is in there because alot of apps dont have a transparent in there colors xml but i imagine you could add one just never tried. In gb i opened that themeing.apk and there was like nothing in there guess ill be digging deeper

jatx.. I searched the web (1st few pages on results anyway) and over on xda. Can't find anything about themeing GB.

I had success in theming the previous release of GB by simply pulling the framework and replacing the images - this UD build is the first I have seen the theming app built in and even the theme it comes with has a problem sticking - might have to do it the old fashioned way - I will be digging deeper tonight

some of the statusbar icons don't change though, like 3g and others I can't think of now, presumably because the .pngs for those aren't in drawable-hdpi.

I was about to post that in googlequicksearchbox that the text when you type is black not white. Not in the text box but below. Then I realzied it was done by team sorcery. Not team inversion conversion. Lol

You can use mine....its the newest one and all the text I've seen is what it should be....for now you would have to pull it from my theme but I can post just that later...the theme us called faded
And I think I found a few things in gb haven't had a chance to test them yet though

Couple things regarding FB, I've got the widget transparented (everything except that ugly white bubble around where it says "what's on your mind?") - and was also able to transparent the background of the photo reel on the main page by replacing the .png file. The only parts left that I can see are the above mentioned black background while scrolling and also the comment list background when viewing photo comments or post comments. For some reason I can't recompile anything in apk manager, so if you could find those two backgrounds I could take care of the photo reel and the widget, sign it, and put up a link for everyone.

Anyone looked into tackling handcent yet?

Thinking about handcent...but black not transparent

Sent from my Droid using DroidForums App

You can set it to dark in the settings.
I'd like to see it dark with a transparent background.

I dont even remember where I found this but its the coolest handcent Ive seen. Just unzip and install through file manager. Its not the most recent version either but its so cool i dont really care...

can someone do this to the newest handcent? i posted a mostly transparent handcent but its not the newest. just wondering if anyone is working on it....http://www.droidforums.net/forum/at...2-transparent-apps-whats-missing-handcent.zip

what does your log say when it fails??? Its confusing that you can compile framework and not other things. Are you able to post your log.txt . If you do post it delete the whole log then recompile something and get the error and post that so that your not posting something a mile long lol
