Im modifying a theme and I was wondering how can I make the edges of icons transparent....
for example, when I tried to color the phone icon in the slider on the aosp lockscreen, the icon became a square instead of a circle and didn't fit inside the slider.... HELP
Thank you in advance....

Assuming you're using GIMP, just make the area you want transparent one solid color, then highlight the area of the image you don't want transparent, , press ctrl+i (to invert the selection you made, so that the area you want to turn transparent is now selected) then click on colors, color to alpha, and choose the solid color you wanted to make transparent, then click okay. The color should now appear as a checkerboard image, and, more importantly, will be transparent when you view it on the phone.
Thank you so much..... this has been boggling my mind all week....

What I'm trying to do is to make my notifcation bar black instead of the default white. Its truly the only thing that is bothering me from The OEM htc sense rom. Is there an app, mod, or theme that will just affect the notification bar? Sorry for the newb question and please don't flame me on using the search button.

On CM6 Final. Menu>Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>User Interface>Notifications Colors> Scroll to the bottom and change the Custom notification Bar color and the Custom Pulldown bar color. For Black color put #ff000000
Do you have to reboot for the color Change to show up? I did what you said and still is white...

you have to reboot for changes to take effect. I like the white bar over the black one personally but to each his own

I like bright pink... what what. Lol just kidding I like the white one too. Froyo looks sick I am in love with all things AOSP lol. Honestly I find the AOSP features to be far more usefull then the sense stuff. But like you said to each his own.
Can I change my texting back ground so when I open a text the background is black instead of white?? Also can I get my notifications to be clean instead of white?

I'm sure there has to be a way to do this

I use chompSMS, it lets you change the backgrounds for the conversation and the conversation list. Handcent works the same, if you want to try those.
I'm not sure how I feel about them although my battery is dying a lot slower without the white background (I think) I'd like handset a lot more if I could have the icon for it... I think the stock icon just looks better. Can I change icon and name?

Changing the background is probably just an image file in the MMS.apk that you can edit the color you want in. only problem is the text is black, meaning you will have to edit an .xml file which is a much longer and difficult process.
Ok I switched texting apps I just wanna change the pull down notification color now

How would I go about changing the color of the battery icon, 3g icon and everything else in the notification bar and notification area in a theme I didn't build?
Or change the entire color scheme of a finished theme?

You'll need the framework-res.apk. Open it with winrar or 7zip, navigate to /res, and drag the folder drawable-hdpi to your desktop or wherever. Inside there you'll find a lot of images that you may or may not want to alter. Once altered, go back to that framework-res.apk that you have opened but not altered, delete the matching .png, and simply drag your altered .png into the archive. That's the simplest way to make changes, as decompiling/recompiling a themed framework usually yields issues.
Edit....
vvvvvvvvv

I DID IT although I must say I am no graphic designer lol it looks like a 5year old took a crayon to this theme lol ill practice my new found skills

Just so you know, the notification icons for messaging and email and stuff are in the apks themselves. If you need any help let me know.
Yeah it took me a little while and then I was like oh wait you can look inside apks with winrar and I found the res folder so im coloring everything right now.... so .... many..... files.... its gonna take a while.... could I take maddoggin's 6 lock screen mod and just drop it in the theme or is there some files I would have to change first to accomplish this

How do you make the edges of an icon clear... I changed the lockscreen sliders icon and the edge of the icon is hanging over the slider

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18855553#post18855553
all themes i found on xda for emui 3.0 had their own icon sets and there would be a wierd coloring around small and transparent icons,so i decided to make my own theme with only modified icons for system and all other icons as provided by app(s).
i did the following:
*copied the transparent weather clock from another theme
*copied contacts from re-miui theme
*hand -selected each sysem icons from many other themes for maximum luxury of theme
*added 5 nice hdwallpapers
*made the weather widget transparent
*removed icon cover coloring(not me actually,the main base is a theme called "blue motion mod by starlek vanya", found it on google
*and the main feature::: the notification bar colour changes as you change the wallpaper:how cool is that :laugh:
hope you guys like it,if you like it then thank me.
the theme is attached herewith,just unzip it and copy the .hwt file to hwthemes folder in sd card
suggestions welcome
the only bad thing is the weather icon is fixed with a simple icon(not static),no offence
and since i am not a fan of magazine unlock,i kept the lockscreen neat.
edit:
please note that the notification bar color is wallpaper dependent,it uses gaussian blur technique to change colour according to wallpaper.
many many thanks to the original creators of the rom as well as @tinyXperia for helping me figure out the theme preview option.
the screenshots are in #2 and #3

Beautiful! There is only one bug that you have to fix. Edit music widget to trasparent like the widget of weathe, and background navbar from blue to black. In my opinion black looks bettere. Nice work!

sorry, my phone is honor 3c and it doesnt have nav buttons,it was you who first lighted up the idea for that!
so can you post a screenshot of that,i mean i am very curious to know how it looks like on other phones with those 3 on screen buttons
that widget transparency is also very easy,rename the .hwt file to .zip,extract it,everything you find inside is also zip file,find the widget file,extract it,replace widget background by a transparent background(or anything you want) repack the zip. thats it

How did you make the notification panel transparent? just transparent png?
Is it possible to make it transparent without blur like here:
Is there any way to change color in messages? For example everything white in conversation or something like that?

sorry for late reply,i had just modified a previeous theme by some russian guy,so i couldnt figure it out,it might be the theme framework.
but in one other theme,if the ....bg_9.png file was made transparent(meizu theme),that worked,but the letter colors would have to be high contrast white to be properly seen.
