Transparent widgets ? HTC News - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't find the thread anymore, where some nice developer, made custom Transparent see through widgets, which had no border around them, or black background.
He did an awesome for AccuWeather that I use. Looking for something like for the HTC News widget, I don;t like the dark background border, would like just the news with clear background see the wallpaper behind it.
Anyone ? Thanks in advance

Thread moved to Q&A.

Also looking for a clear or transparent widget for the Yahoo "Live Scores" app found in the market, without the background. Thanks.

Changing the color of menu button text

Hey, I am working on a motoblur theme for CM, and I have almost everything perfect. EXEPT the text on all of the buttons and stuff is black against a dark grey button. Can anyone help me out with getting the text on the buttons to be white so they are readable?
Also, another problem I'm having is with the backgrounds. I moved all of the small and normal backgrounds from motoblur into the launcher.apk of my theme, but they are not showing up in the list. Can anyone help out here, either?
Thanks everyone!

i have wondered about the font color as well for a while.
but for the wallpapers, make sure they are named the same as the wallpapers currently in launcher.apk
yo yo
hey man. yeah those wall papers have been pissing me off. i finished two different themes, and that launcher hindered both, thus causing me to start alllll over again. im using this 2.0 sht now, its pretty sick, theres a lot of new **** on 2.0, like a bad ass dock, with all these settings widgets, etc, my theme should be up a little later today. keep and eye out. and Freeky, pm me, lets get this collab going down!

im not 100% sure but I think that irrenhaus' advanced launcher allows you to actually add wallpapers to it .... also i know that if you build Launcher from source you can add your wallpapers in that way

What rom are you running? Your setup is exactly the way I want my phone to look.
Scratch that... BattStatt!
So, I've managed to put together some of the pieces of your setup... but what I can't figure out is the text instead of numbers for time, date, and battery percentage.

[REQUEST] ICS Clock widget theming

anybody willing to take this clock widget

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

I added that version to the post with the other clocks. I put it at the bottom of the screen to demonstrate transparency.
Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color
Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.
Thanx

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.
Thanks so much man for the reply! Here's the link. I hate white on the black and blue ics theme. If this XML code is easy to find, I wouldn't kill you of you made the red and white on the popcorn blue and black

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.
Yes that massive big blue thing

[APP] Clean Clock Widget

I like seeing living things in my homescreen, and I was looking for a clock widget that had the seconds in it and couldn't find one that I really really like, that's why I developed this clock widget, It is simple, clean and beautiful, please give it a try and leave me some feedback right here.

Thanks.
Pretty nice but I don't like the font. Would be so much better with just regular Roboto or some other thin font.

You ever tried Minimalistic Text app-widget?
this app shows the time in text, the user-interface of all the settings is not pretty, but the widget shows a nice clock as text.
I installed your app, And i understand what you mean, just a plain simple clock as widget would be nice.
So when i wanted to use your clock i could not find it anywhere between the widgets in the menu?
Teoctist
If you could make the days more visible? Like putting in bottom and havin it full name?
Nice work
Downloading.

It should be in the widgets menu, sometimes when I install widgets that happens to me too, I believe that android takes some minutes to refresh the widgets in the widgets menu.

[REQ] Transparent SmartNotice Weather Widget

Hi all. When I had my LG G2, someone modded the homescreen weather widget to be transparent. I searched the threads and haven't seen anything mentioned for the G3, but I've seen a ton of other mods. So I was wondering if anyone here is working on this mod? Or I wanted to put in a request for someone who has the knowledge of how to make it transparent, to make one, if possible. I'm trying to stick with the LG launcher and I think a transparent SmartNotice weather widget would give it a much cleaner look. Thanks in advance. Btw, I have the Verizon variant. I don't know if it would only be needed for this phone or if an universal one could be made for all variants. If there are any files needed from the Verizon variant, then let me know. I'll pull and upload them if pointed in the right direction.
Edit: All credit goes to @KiakSvk for getting this solved for me. All of the work was done and created by him. I just modified some of his .pngs for my own liking on my own personal device, but he found the files and did all of the leg work, so make sure to hit his "Thanks" button if you plan on using his stuff. You can see a pic of his setup here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54907737&postcount=16. If you want to get the files he uploaded and change your SmartNotice to look like his, then you can find his post with the download files and instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54929497&postcount=25. The pic below is my final setup after modifying some of the files he uploaded.
I know it's not quite the same but if you use zooper there is a lg widget for that. Can't remember if there is a transparent one in the pack but if not would be easy enough to make transparent.
Is this the one?

Saw Zooper in the Play Store but its not transparent. But your pic in the 2nd post is exactly what I'm looking for. That one is for the G2 correct?

What are you looking for? I'm looking for a transparent weather widget with Smart Notice transparent and functional also. (That hasn't been done yet.) But if you're looking for a transparent weather widget similar to the one on the G2, then like the poster mentioned above, you can download Zooper from the market (you will have to buy the pro version), then you can download a G3 weather widget theme to go with it. They have a few transparent widgets like the one posted above.
It's gotta be possible to make the LG weather widget transparent, even the smart notice one. Anyone good with decompiling and editing apks? I can do it but I really don't like to.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I've purchased some great weather widgets over the years. I just want the stock weather widget transparent so that I can continue to use the smart card feature. I messaged the guy who made the transparent G2 widget, but he hasn't responded back yet.
No worries, let us know if you get a result
any progress? i mean if anyone made it? that would be great

No. Unfortunately, the guy that I messaged who made the LG G2 weather widget transparent, never messaged me back. I actually was going to put a $10 bounty on this. Not much, but hopefully something will entice somebody to work on this.
Edit: I just edited my topic and post to let everyone know that I'm looking for the SmartNotice weather widget to be transparent and not the regular weather widget. If anyone wanted the regular weather widget transparent, then Zooper widget from the market has one that looks identical toLG's widget.

Themed and working smart notice widget.
It is also possible to make it transparent, but you will need some skills.
If you decompile the app, there are edits you can make to the files in the folders such as layers, xml, etc. Its just a matter of finding the right file.

Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
There are a couple of LG Home themes that make the stock weather and smart notice transparent. Search for the Tahiti (blue, white, and pink) themes. I don't remember where I downloaded them but they do theme the weather and smart notices.
Dunno if it works for you guys but maybe it's worth a shot?
