Yes looked in framework-res.apk but im 100% sure its not in there looked in htc.resources.apk and could not find it. I'm pretty sure its in htc.resources.apk as a png or xml file but for the life of me i cant find it. I even looked in the individual apk's in system/app and the only widget that has a backround in its apk is the htc music widget and i already edited that.
I'm pretty experienced in themeing vanilla android but not sense..... So if any experienced people know exactly what png or xml controls the htc widgets background please let me know

I would like to know where the background for the htc twitter, calendar and friendstream widget is located and how to change it. Any help would be great
I'm very experienced themeing vanilla android but pretty new to sense.
I have already decompiled each apk in system/app and decompiled framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk to look for whatever png or xml that controls the background and i still cannot find it. The only htc widget that has the background in the actual apk is the music one and i have already edited that. Please any help would be great.
Yes i know this should be in Q&A but i have already posted a month ago with no takers, that is why i'm posting here
Bump!!!
anyone...anyone at all who can help
I don't have the answer you're looking for, but I know someone who might be able to help you.
He is a Spainish guy from the Desire rom development site called NeoPhyte and he always makes his mail/bookmarks/contacts etc widgets semi transparent, so maybe you can send him a message and ask him...?

I'm looking for a transparent Amazon mp3 app and widget

bump...maybe move or copy to general theming forum? The background files for the widget are written xml
i would love to have that tooooo
+1 My attempts to edit the xml and recompile have been futile. I have edited other widgets without issue, so something is up with this one - or it would have been made transparent by now. Surely others are taking advantage of the free cloud space and would like a widget that isn't so ugly.
Not sure if this belongs in the Dev section or here.
Anyway, attached is a screenshot of my homescreen. I am wondering how to edit the Google+ widget to give it a transparent background instead of the dark bg.
I know how to edit photos and apply a transparent bg, etc., I am just not sure how to edit the widget itself. Is it a matter of getting the .apk and extracting an image to edit? I used to edit icons for my iOS devices, so I assume this might be the same with .apk files ...
Any tips would be helpful!
Thanks!
I'd like to know too. I tried to edit the widget background for the honeycomb music app to be semi-transparent by taking the trans widget background from sense music widget.
Honeycomb music apk had a file called appwidget_bg.9.png so i renamed the one from sense to that name using 7zip, but new apk wouldnt install for me.
Not sure if any of this helps you. But I'd like to know too.
In the apk, there should be a folder called res or resources, i forget. Pretty sure relevant file is in there if I remember correctly. Good luck.

I've modded the app.
instructions:
- install the app from the market (you already have it installed so you may be able to skip this step)
- remove the widget if its on one of the screens
- use root exprlorer to copy the file I posted to the /data/app folder
- set the permissions (rw-r--r--)
- readd the widget
that worked for me.

Thanks but I get force close when I try.

I thought I would try the above mod again and it still force closes. Does anyone else know how to get the google+ transparent widget? Martijua's mod is exactly what I am looking for, but for some reason it doesn't work. :-(
Thanks!
Hi.
I've been playing around with my phone for a while now. I used UOT Kitchen to get transparent notification bar.
But what I'm really interested in is a transparent app drawer. I have gone through all the .png's in systemUI, framework-res, twframework-res, touchwiz30launcher and i did not see a single .png that the system would use as a app drawer background.
And as far as i understood the transparency is enabled in those .xml files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255155 - this is what I'm talking about.
I'd be glad if anyone would tell me what lines/files i have to add and where.
And if anyone bothers to help me, I will most definitely make a guide how to do this
And also, is there a way to change the background color in menus with font color ( cuz i've seen ROM's with white background and grey font)
Peace
PS! I didn't know whether I should post this in General or here, but as it is theme related I believe it belongs here.

Huh.. Lot of thread already make the tutor for this..
Sent From Jamban.. When I was Modol.. #ModolTEAM
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to modify the background of the sense 5 weather clock (the one that flips with the weather juuuust below it) not to make it transparent like everybody else is doing. I'm trying to theme it to go with a modified app drawer image and navigation bar image. The problem is I don't know which files to edit in order to do that. Could anyone here give me some advice or pointers?
Yes I have searched for a guide or tut to do it but all I find is people supplying one they made or pointing at a thread that has them already made. I would like to do this myself though.
Thanks in advance for any help
Have you heard of sense 5 toolbox? You can set transparency of many items...

Where is that image? I took a look inside of the prism apk but found nothing by that name.
But for everyone else reading, I'm not looking for transparency, I'm trying to overlay another image over, thus changing how the panel looks.

Are you talking about the panel where the weather condition is ?
That is common_panel.9.png in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Changing this will affect the widgets background too
Thats the one!!!

YES THAT'S THE ONE!
Just in case I added a screenshot, I circled the panel jsu so that everyone knows what I'm talking about. I found that common_panel.9.png but it's basically just a circle?
What I want to do is make that panel look like the navbar you see in the image I attached, if it's just a circle then it might not work or be possible.
Nobody have any ideas?
Does nobody here have any ideas on how to achieve this?

In both Sense 5 and Sense 5.5, the png is indeed found in the resources apk. It is the common_panel.9.png and it can be themed but only basically. The best you can do with it is make it with a border either transparent or semi. However, depending on how skilled you are with editing xml, you could put a custom PNG in the drawable folder and edit the layouts to navigate to that specific image. That way your newly themed image will be used and not the common_panel.9.png. If you look at my theming thread from Sense 5.5, you'll see what I mean.
