I was wondering if anyone could take the slick smoked glass background from the apk I posted and modify the newest version of smooth calender widget with it. The new version has a much nicer calender icon (Attached Below). The old version on the apk has an icon that looks kind of tacky. I've looked but I cannot seem to figure out how to modify this particular app.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can give a hand.
Wow, with all the amazing themers on this site nobody can give me any pointers or help me mod one simple app?
Maybe wait a bit more than 4 hours before you get discouraged.

4hrs? I think you missread the post times, This was posted a day ago. There have been over 50 views already. I'm not trying to be rude, nor am I expecting somebody to have to do it for me. I merely asked if someone with more expertise than me could either mod it or at least help me to do it. With over 50 views you would think someone would have said it can't be done or at least pointed me in the right direction.
I'm not sure if the newest version has added functionality etc. that you would also want, but if alll you want to do is change the icon you should be able to use APK Edit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890876) to update the older version with the newer icon. Hope this helps

smooth calender is a widget, I know how to change icons, this widget does not have a drawable-hdpi folder like most of the others. I'm looking to change the background of the most recent smooth calender widget from the matted black to the smooth smoked glass that is in the apk I provided in the OP, I just don't know how to do it on this particular app.
If that is not possible, I would like the icon I provided to replace the on that is in my provided apk, only problem is I don't think that would work because smooth calender changes the date each day on the icon.
Is there anyone that can at least give me some pointers?

This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.

Nandroid backup (always)

I think this may be in error. I would like to DL your new theme once you get the link up.
Thanks for your work again!

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv
mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

Hi there!
Is there a flashable mod that can change the notification pulldown from trans(lucent/parent) to opaque (without sacrificing the other elements of the theme)?
I LOVE the themes that I've found here, but I find transparency/translucence to be disorienting.
Thanks!
yes and no. to my knowledge there is no app or mod to simply change the properties of the png image to opaque, but you could check out the metamorph threads on here and in other xda forums and make yourself a metamorph to do just that!
basically you would choose an image for your new background or pull one from another theme or whatever and build the metamorph according to the guide, run it and voila. good luck!
Thanks. I installed metamorph and... let's just say that I'm smart enough to know that I'm too stupid to do it right
Are there any themes that come with the opaque pulldown?
Thanks again!

Click here, it shows you how to do it yourself. It is a very detailed walkthrough and should not be too difficult even for people without and development experience.
I don't really think there would be a way to create a universal flashable zip that makes the drop down opaque/transparent since the image file that the dropdown consists of is what has to be changed. It is possible to create a zip that would replace your dropdown with a new image file, but then again you still run the risk of changing some of your current theme since you would have to replace more than just that single image file.

Yes it can be done by changing one image and if the theme is done right in the 1st place, the other images will not be affected. The problem is most themer's, including myself do the transparent image since 99.9% people want that. Wanting a custom look is what drove the person making the theme in the first place. We make what we want in a theme and share our work.. The best thing for you do is read the instruction and ask the right person for help on the area you need help. It's the only way to get what YOU want.
Edit: Change my mine, going to help you out. Which of my two themes posted do you want. I will edit the correct png and post just that apk in zip for you to download.
Metamorph will do just that. Gonna take you some research. Sterickson developed it and its under utilized on the samsung Epic so far.
Froyo window had an opaque one but its buried deep on here. 1 thing to note only the stock launcher well show opaque, the after market ones like zeam lp, etc don't display in full screen so it will still show up black unless your using a live wallpaper

that is very generous of you! i truly appreciate the offer.
however, i'm most certainly in the minority in wanting opaqueness (if that is indeed a word). and i know i'm gonna want to learn how to do it eventually, so i'm going to try to do it myself. we'll see what happens

Feel free to pm any specific questions want to learn how theme in general check my signature, the threads are buried deep. Now the status bar (notification bar, pulldown, whatever your calling it) being opaque (transparent, whatever lol) just change the status bar background in twframework to a clear or semi clear image. You used to have a live wallpaper with anything but the stock launcher to get this to work but last night my Zeam updated, and now running the new Zeam, the status bar is clear with just a regular wallpaper. Don't count on LP being added to this list any time I believe it has been asked plenty of times and so far it looks like it's not happening. I could be wrong I haven't been to the LP forum in a bit.

I might be doing something completely wrong but this is how my screen looks after the installation and once i have removed it. The red arrow indicates the annoying bar which is present at all times now. I don't what this means, so some clarification would be great.

You have to uninstall this shcut 16 and a normal theme replaces the original one, so if you want to keep it installed this theme!
Argh, i tried installing this one, but the problem is still there. I even tried disabling Sense but the bar remains. This is also after i removed my first theme and the 16 shortcut installation. But i actually wanted to ask something else. I looked at some of your work, and i really like the clocks and themes you created for the HTC mega. Are you going to create some more of those for the mini by any chance?

It's a bit difficult to bring the issues of mega QVGA HTC HD mini HVGA, however your problem and you have uninstalled and reinstal shcut 16, you find it difficult because if you can not uninstalled that old you have to instal the above then do the other procedure .
Nice one.. tnxxx
I got it to work! the only thing is that the 16 shortcut failed to install with the theme. Thank you and looking forward to your future work
If anyone wants to try this, It might be a great app for the users that have a hard time seeing the grey on black that the present notification bar is displayed on the stock jelly bean ROM. I have tried a bunch of apps that change the bar's colors and some are really vivid, but are not able to display active things that pop in the bar like weather beetle, screebl icon, etc. It should be possible even without root, because the apps that are already available, can work on non rooted phones. All I want to do is change the color. That ought to be a piece of cake for someone familiar with the inner workings of the jelly bean ROM! If root is required, then so be it! either way would really rock!
I hope someone will jump on this and make it an aroma with color options when flashing....Just change the color!
Thanke!
Like the idea, but to get better help with this you're better off putting it in themes and apps section.

I let them no, hope someone helps you out.
The Themes and Apps section is really for releases, mods and apks (once you boil it down). This is more of a request type thing. Maybe I can put it in Q&A?
Thoughts?
*****
Also you can check out the general Android Themes section too. IIRC in the old days, we used to use Metamorph and ZipThemer and you could use the correct xmls and they would replace your pre-existing files in the Framework-res.apk and make a redo.zip (only ZipThemer did this) that you could flash. But like I said that was in the old days before we ever had a systemUI.
I wasn't too sure but thought metamorph was his best bet. I've personally never used it... Q&A is good though, I think.
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?

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

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.

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?
