I wanna change up the launcher style to look like the HTC Sensation/Pyramid (semi transparent) and can't figure out where the png's that control the transparency of the launcher are. Anyone?
Oh, also, I'm using the Sprint 2.3 leak, but I'm pretty sure there's not much difference within the Rosie apk.

Right, I can get that far, but I don't know which certain pngs control the transparency... I'm thinking common_mainnav_scroller1 and common_mainnav_scroller3, but I don't know if those are the only ones I need to edit or if there's more.
if its a stock rosie, there are some files in htc-resources.apk, if i recall in the drawable-land-hdpi folder. those would be the ones you need to trans. ive only themed froyo, it may be a bit differnt.

Ah! Thank you!

Rosie can't be themed from the images in com.htc.resources YET. You can change the transparency using the m10 tools though. But as far as changing the looks... some of those images are locked away in m10s as well. Which cant be edited... yet.
From tests, it looks like a lot of images that are changed by a "skin," cant be changed. >.<
Hopefully soon it can be. I really really hope someone proves me wrong though.
Of course, Rosie could be completely edited/rebuilt to look for the proper png's other than these gay ass m10s.

Yeah, I kinda figured that out... :l I haven't been able to find a single ROM that supports a Sensation style launcher or a MetaMorph for it or anything... Wtf, I'd expect themers would be all over the semi-transparent look, yet the only device I've seen supported so far is the ThunderBolt. skfkntnskfxsmfn. I'm just trying to do it myself. Lol
if you want to make rosie transparent or semi-transparent, that is possible. but for changing the png, that is a different story.
My bad. Like I said I've only themed froyo. I forgot about the skins and such.

There is a link in my signature for themes and mods. Click on it. Go to Rosie themes. There is semi transparent mod there. Take a look at it. Someone asked me to make it happen and I did a little work around for it. See if its what you're looking for. Feel free to use it but I do request you give a shout out to where you found it.

You are correct. If you use a skin, it takes precedence over other theming features of the Rom. While skins are a nice idea, I've yet to really take to them. I don't like how if you use one it takes over other aspects. I like to completely customize my stuff with the freedom to change what ever I like, as little or as much. I dunno. Hehe

Yes you are wrong you can change allot of the rosie png's and make the rosie launcher transparent or even get rid of the rosie arc's but you will be amazed that changing the png's that you will find in the rosie are not all going to be touched they are actually found in what is called the fusion.apk in the m10 files so you need a program called m10 tools and decompile and decode the png,s then open the png's up in explorer then open them up from there and edit them in photo shop or what ever you use for editing png's.There is a hell of allot of png's in the fusion .apk that the whole rom uses bit like the framework and resource you will find the lock screen ring also in there!Ihope this helps

I have looked and searched and i cannot find a thread on this and i am thinking i might be barking up the wrong tree.
I run the stock launcher on cm7 and super cm7 and i would like to change the color of the three icons on the bottom or the homescreen and thats it. Colors of everything else i want to stay the same. Is this even possible?
I do not want to run lp or adw. I'll stay with green if thats the case.
If you change themes with the theme chooser it should change. That's if you don't mind switching themes.

Not to be a **** but the OP says I want everything else to stay the same. Why would you suggest switching themes.
Guess ill just figure out how to export this theme and change icons myself through theme manager. I was hoping maybe someone would know a quick and easy way of changing the color.

you should be able to modify the dock pngs in the launcher apk without trouble. I've changed colors around on a vanilla launcher before... just decompiled the launcher apk, changed the pngs I wanted to change, compiled and replaced the apk.. voila.
Awesome. Thanks.

You can use ninja morphology, that's how I got mattedblue colors on my stock launcher. Although ever since adw ex got updated I've been using it.
got the decompile thing down. guess all there is to do is find out how good i am in gimp.
thanks again
Why don't you use adw ex? It's so much better than the stock and you get to keep the gingerbread dock but customize icons and their colors...You really cannot go wrong...
i need help with two things one if u notice the screen shots below instead of using the minimize and maximize icons its using this big ugly square i would like this replaced with the correct icons.i checked my framework res.apk and all the icons are there and correctly named so it leads me to believe that it is indeed a wrong xml. second thing i need help with is getting this same call log transparency and fixed icons ported over to the them im using when i apply the theme via theme manager it changes my contacts and dialer to a black one. below i am attaching my framework and the theme apk any questions please ask and i will gladly donate $5-$10 to any one that is able to help me out with this thanks any questions pm me. and just for extra precautions ill upload them from my DB

All the xml's look right so I dont think it is that. But, I havent worked too much with theme apk's so If I sound like a reject, Im sorry.
I did see that com_android_contacts_custom_background_dialer is solid black. maybe that is why the bg's are not the themed one you want.
For the minimize/maximize i cant really help other than say find that image and do a dirty hack. lol.
Wish i could be more help.

If you know what the png's are called you can verify that the system is calling for the right framework pics I think in your public xml just to make sure.

Public xml is in values folder, also you can go to your drawables folder and look for any thing referencing to your anim and it will show you if the file is right. . And a dirty hack sounds like shotty work to me. Idk I may be wrong but I guess its up to you to use or not.

Thanks a lot, but it only themed the notification bar, it didn't theme anything else. Images on the lockscreen are replaced with silver ones, but the bars aren't invisible. Would you happen to have a link to the walppaper used in the theme? If not, I'll just make one.

The only files that were in his zip that were themed were the settings app and the frameworks, so that's all i transferred over. It says that he themed more apps in his thread but like I said it only had the settings apk in it. If you go to his orginal thread he has links were he ported it from and on one of those links you can find the icon packs.
Here is the wallpaper. Its also in the theme if you use 7zip its the default wallpaper in the drawable-hdpi folder

Thanks for the wallpaper. The shutdown menu is also themed, and I found the icons he used. I might make more icons and post them in your thread.

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try
