[Q] How to make status bar background transparent? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
how do i make the drop down status bar background transparent ? i have the changed the png with a transparent png of my choice, but even after every thing it still comes as a full black rather than a semi transparent black (which is the picture i replaced the original with).
also, how do i edit the xml file and what do i have to edit to attain transparency in the back ground. i would also love if i could do the same for the lockscreen. since all this is framework-res.apk. how do i correctly decompile and compile back the xmls and whats the best and the correct way to sign the apk back. caz i have been having issuses with reboots and FC's.
i know its alot of questions, but just tryin to learn how to skin/mod android correctly. thank you guys
(This is what i want, a transparent background)

Is there a place i can upload it to you.
You have to get the person that did the clock and have him change it. I don't know how to do that yet.
Use mediafire
You can use my email or rapidshare, [email protected]
what images did you have to replace to put the thumbprint there? I've been having trouble finding it in the drawable folder.

[Q] custom home screen

i have this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

would love for someone to point me in the right direction or teach me or make a flash-able update file.
thanx guys
So looking at the pictures you want the different bottom bar and wallpaper. the wallpaper can just be set and the bottom bar is in com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-port-hdpi should be able to copy the pics here and paste them into your com.htc.resources.apk file.
i just want the bottom bar. do i need to sign it ? or is it just a simple adb pull then push ?

Sorry forgot to mention that those are in Rosie.apk/drawable-hdpi/
common_mainnav_scroller1.png and
common_mainnav_scroller3.png
you can copy them to or just make them transparent.

MIUI: Icons

Hi.
I was wondering if there is any way of reverting back to Android shaped icons for apps, as I am not fond of the default MIUI iPhoney style icons.
If yes, please explain.
Many Thanks.
Anyone?

Yes with MIUI you can do lots of customization, not to stick on with iPhone style.

The screenshot you attached shows icon in a Square box, this is what I do not want. I want it to be translucent and only showing icon shape. You know what I mean, kapeesh.
Icons very customisable, I'm sure you will find something to suit.
You can either use the theme manager on your phone, or find some here on XDA.. There are many icons, trust me
looks nice. what does miui stand for?
No disrespect, but why is this thread getting so much attention from noobies who have no clue what I'm talking about and pointing out the obvious and irellavent answers?
only 10 behind you
