thanx guys.

one way is by a clear theme, such as Riptides9 clear theme, but make sure it's compatible with whatever rom you running, lock screen maybe a addon under that theme.

Riptides 9's clear theme has a clear lock screen drag down bar. i know know how to mod those. i am looking for a way to make the lockscreen background transparent so that when u are at your lock screen you see the lock screen bar and the home screen in the back ground. Look at the above pic as a ref.
thanx

[idea] calling all theme devs :)

I just had a quick thought is it possible to have the wallpaper pan over the menu bar, it wouldn't look great with some wallpapers but with something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
would look great don't you think?
I don't think we can get the title bar to become see thru, the only other way of doing it is to copy the top part of the wallpaper and paste that onto the title_bar.png in framework-res.apk. but then it is hard coded and will look funny when you switch wallpapers.
oh well
oh well just an idea would have been good though
Yeah it would be sweet if we could give it a smoke glass effect. Maybe in time we will be able to.
The thing is also that the wallpaper does not get up "under" the status bar, so even if it was possible to make the statusbar transparent you would not see the wallpaper underneath. The very top of the wallpaper begins beneath the very bottom of the statusbar, they never overlap.

ARDH_HTC Sense clock widget that actually flips!

I wanted a black version of the original HTC clock widget.
But to my surprise it was no where to be found for ARDH.
Lots of lame third part clock widgets but none of them was flipping .
I love it when i come back to homescreen and see the minute ticks
So i decided to modify mine.
And i did.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is, i lost my white one this time.
I dont know any kind of coding.
Is it possible for me to actually ADD the clock to the current widgets instead of changing one?
I can upload it if you guys intrested.
I can even give the PNG files if anyone thinks its easy to do and hard to explain
It actually would be great if we can keep both at the same list of clocks..
Your the Man!!!
That would awesome Ive been looking for a flip clock like my wife HTC. And black is my favorite color. I cant help you change the color but would love to try your black one out.....Thanks
sorry about the poor grammar I got in a hurry

Transparent status&notification bar?Need Help!

I made a mod of transparent statusbar and the notification draw as well.
However, I got a problem and i dont know how to deal with it .If there anyone can help me ,maybe I can finish my mod soon and great thax to you!
Here is the screenshot and problem.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The notification area is fine,and I set the clock to blue to make its text clear.
But the status bar got a problem that if i set it full transparent ,it will turn black(just like the stock style) sometime .
And it doesnt layover the wallpaper,so even it is full transparent ,i cant see the wallpaper through it.
You may see the problem clearly from this one.
Just tell me what to do or your suggestion,thank u again.
