Android png question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there is a way to make my phones contact pictures look the same as the generic Android that comes up when there is no contact for the number. I have taken a picture and cropped out all background to make it look 3d gave it a transparent background, saved it as png, but when you assign it to a contact it still shows up as a sqaure photo not with the transparent background.
In other words, I want my contact pics to look 3d like the android guy.
Anyone know how to do that or even if it can be done?

[themes] transparent manila

It isn't a real theme. I have make some changes so as we have better looking
at our backgrounds. You can use it with all your wallpapers.
When we have the same background at all the Tabs, there is a problem if we use colored wallpapers or photos.
The problem has to make with the icons because they are black and look very bad.
I found a very simple solution for that. I made 50% transparent all the icons so as they look little darker than the color which has our background.
You can use it with any background color, dark or light.
Maybe later I make them real crystal, but need a lot work and I have not so match time these days.
If you like my fonds you can find them here (Thanks to Onkolog)

I have add at the People Tab the bigger transparent icons.
So I changed the CAB. Download the new one.
very nice! does this include the font used for the titles (e.g., Weather)? if not, what is the font name and how does one install to their device? also, when you press one of the transparent icons (like the call mobile button on the people page) does it change so you know it's been pressed? thanks!
Hi nanoo-eg
Please put your Picture in your Post.
The link is really bad. I don't know the others, but with me, I can't see it.
This's your second thread with I would like to see the picts.
Thanks,
KCJ
works & looks very nice on my device! i like the way they're in the background. in case you plan to refine, i'd like to share with you my observations for the people page: there are some people icons that aren't transparent depending upon the type of numbers (mobile, home) and the number of contact items (e.g., mobile, email, home). for example, if a person has only a mobile number, manila uses different (larger) icons for the mobile and text icons. neither icon is transparent. also if a person has a mobile, home and work number, and an email address, the work number icon is not transparent, but the others are transparent. hope this helps! your time, effort and contributions are very much appreciated!
looks great.does your slider work with the stock tab?mine does the ugly double icon thing! if yes can i have it.

Yes there is problem. It happens because I made my tests with a contact which has 4 icons (mobile-home-sms-mail). I will fix it right now and I 'll give new CAB

I am sorry but I am not sure if I understand you well.
Like I write at the first post it isn't a real theme.
Just I made the icons which there are on every TAB to be transparent so as every wallpaper you use, looks better because original icons have black background around them. (You must use the same wallpaper for all Tabs. If your wallpaper it is black you don't need to install this cab). But if you use a photo like a background, you need the transparency.
For example I changed to tranparency at Music Tab, the 4 icons play, pause, preview song, next song. The same I made for all the Tabs.
I don't know if I answer at your questions.
Thanks a lot, will try to use it.
This was were i was looking for, thx!

[Q/REQ] Folder background, picture instead of plain gray??

[q] request new contacts and new gallery apps

Hey to all the developers out there
i would love to see a different contact list. Like the transparent dialer to go with eachother. Love the transparent dialer. Also the 3d gallery is rather annoying with the blured preview of the highlighted pic in the background when looking through folders. I think if got rid of that and had option to change background colour and change the way we can flow the pics would be a great gallery app.
Anyway if you dont ask you dont get so this is me asking if anyone has same views to me then please show them here. No developer will do this inless its something alot of people want.

[Q] [REQ] Contact icons

Is it possible for someone to make a flashable zip to change the contact icons to f.ex. a funny looking android instead of the people i different colors? It just looks ugly, hehe.
Make something nice and clean in one color for the people in contact list who doesn't have an image to them

[Q] Change Email Inbox Background Colour.

Title says it all I'm afraid. I'm using the stock TW UI & the email app with the black background inbox is infuriating me.
Is there a way to invert the colours or change it to anything but grey writing on black background?
Currently unrooted but will root to be able to read emails in sunlight.
Always a way, you will need to rooted. I do have other request for making it better to read, problem is. I don't have the apk and don't use it. Ide need the apk
