Okay, finally rooted my arc, and I wanted to have a semi-transparant notificationbar.
That worked well with apps like gmail and market like this:
But it doesn't work with my Launcher, than it looks like this:
Does any one know if I am doing something wrong or is it something LauncherPro Launcher can't handle? If so, which Launcher can, I tried GO Launcher without any luck, only the default Sony Launcher worked, but I want to use my own dock and scrollable widgets.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Cheers,
Arnold
I believe LauncherPro crops wallpapers, so it could be that your statusbar is transparent, there's just nothing behind it.
Try switching to an alternative launcher (even the stock SE one) to test it.
To be honest, in the long run, you'd be better off finding an alternative to LauncherPro, it's stagnated.
No idea about cropping, I tested a few free launchers from the market in the meantime, Sony Arc default launcher and Regina Launcher can handle the statusbar as I wanted, but they have to little options for my likings...
Thanks anyway for replying. I also posted in the UOT topic, maybe there is something else I can do.
I know Launcher Pro is stagnated, but the scrollable widgets and possibilities to customize is still keeping me at LP.....besides I am Dutch and I paid for it
LauncherPro is certainly odd in the way it does stuff.
I know from experience that it doesn't draw the app drawer background behind the statusbar, so I wouldn't be surprised if it handled wallpapers a wee bit differently too.
I used to swear by LauncherPro, I tried ADW, Go, Zeam etc and wasn't impressed but over time they've improved and LauncherPro hasn't.
The only two things I miss about LauncherPro are the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and the widgets you get with the Pro version.
In terms of customisability, I don't think it really is that much better than the rest of them - most launchers share most of the same options.
And which launcher is able to keep my own dock like pic2 in my first post and can handle the customized statusbar? That would be great....

I thought ADW did but after a second look it doesn't, my mistake.
edit: no, I was right - ADW EX does (that's the paid version).
ADW is open-sourced so as well as the main one (ADW EX), there are a number of other docks based on it's code. I'm using one of those spin-offs, so I don't have all the same options.
Tested adw ex for a few minutes, really annoying you don't have proper time to test, but I am almost certain the statusbar can't be changed neither, I have the same as launcher pro.
Tried zeam launcher as well, but there you can't use custom dock....lol, I quess its not possible what I want...
Thanks for replying though, appreciated much!

You're welcome.
Sorry you couldn't find an answer to your problem.
Hopefully there is someone out there who knows a launcher which I can use my transparent statusbar and my Dutch dock as well...
Cheers again.

Launcher pro does support transparent status bar.
statusbar_background.png editted and note paper wallpaper added to homescreen for purpose of screenshot.
From left to right = 100% transparent, white, black, red, green, yellow.
Bottom half = 50% transparent. See below

But I get a horrible effect when loading web pages.
The http address bar header drops down to reveal the status bar but behind it is another http address bar header. I assume this is just a htc thing that may not effect you though. See below
I just start using multi picture live paper which also gives me the result I was looking for. Thanks for your reply

Glad you got it fixed. MultiPictureLiveWallpaper (really good app
) was going to be my next suggestion to discover if transparency was enable in your framework.

Yeah, development of new features has pretty much stopped while fede recodes the whole thing from the ground up. Still, i'm expecting good things once the new version (finally) arrives.

Yeah I know that's what's happening.
I don't mean to be rude about the guy, what he's done is amazing, but the longer it drags on, the harder I find it to believe that this mythical new version is actually on it's way...
@Pollpix: how exactly did you get your statusbar to look like this?
what did you use to change the statusbar itself?
I used uot kitchen, set transparent statusbar, color white, put it I think on 20%, used multi picture wall paper and with this greyish background it looks like this. Also I used icons for white status bar in the kitchen and put the time on blackish, like rgb 30,30,30, so together with this 20% transparency it is still visible when using black apps like tapatalk. The font is Sony sketch obviously... Hope this helps...

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)
To do:
remaining notification icons
delete tray handle
suggestions, etc

YEAH!!! I just started watching this about 2 months ago and now I am on season 4! This show kicks so much @$$! I can't wait to see this theme in action!
beta release now available, should work with both regular and lite RC33. download link in the first post!
I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something
I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in
See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?
Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.
also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!
bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!
This theme has all of Cyanogens mods working and intact I have no problem porting for other builds if there is a call for it.Thanks to ohmarni for letting me use pieces of Android Plus and Ohsaka for colorChanger.jar so white notifications are able to be done on any build.
New Version 1.5.1 fixed all of the remaining 9.png's though there could be a few stragglers,and still have all the needed files to support the HtcMusic.apk I would suggest getting one you like from here Thanks to Beags for the sweet designs.I also added my statusbar icons and new to 1.5.1a app icons there will be a version 1.5.2 with alternate 3g/edge/gprs icons if you aren't digging these.

Hmm, like the idea, but too black for me. Needs some kind of outlining, for example, the border around the launcher. The pull out tab, I'd prefer it to be bigger, kinda like Kspec...now that would be sweet :]

great theme, plain and simple, but check the search bar is.. off, looks really odd, the voice search button is hanging off the frame if you know what i mean... looks nice tho, clock is definately a keeper, and chance you could make it hero size?
-=edit=- never mind about the clock, i already had clock widget active when i applied the theme, removed and replaced widget and it's nice and big and awesomely cool thanks, just the search to sort, but you may want to wait till cyan updates again, i recon there is 3.7 in the works some time soon

I like it except for the 3g icon, would still rock the theme with or without the icon though. love how this theme looks. Especially love the keyboard
I like the 3g icon but would like to see a different battery icon, like the ophone or the pre battery icons. Lovin 1.5 though. Sharp looking.
I am gonna try to make my own battery icons and see how they look I will be customizing all the notification icons and will also make app icons for this theme eventually but I want the notifications finished before I release 1.5.Now I am gonna make two versions also with different 3g,edge,gprs Icons.Thanks for your input guys its greatly appreciated.
Hey guys what launcher does everyone use? I love the app draw but with Google search and the large dock it seems to fill most the screen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I use the standard launcher. Dont see the point in changing the launcher myself.
Adw
I'm using the above. Used to use launcher pro and this previously. This opens up a bit more screen, you still lose the top but can select no dock. I like a minimal look
Using stock atm. Have to admit laucnher pro looks awesome on the massive screen but I missed the stock app drawer eye-candy-ice-cream goodness...
I quite like that slidescreen pro but find it a little impractical.
I love the stock one, but the only thing that annoys me is the fact you can't delete empty home screens!
Using ADW Ex
ADW Ex, because I can customize it the way I want and because I can backup settings, handy when flashing ROMs and wiping data often.

Funny, thats exactly the way ADW looks like on my Transformer. Weird to have the App Drawer at the top left but I've adjusted. The developer was supposed to include options to hide the top section.
What I do, for the bottom dock, is use the Second dock. The second dock allows lots of icons. I think I have like 15 on my transformer's 10" screen. I just learned to use the built in app drawer icon at the top.
This might be awkward with 1 handed operation though.
So that strange section at the top is automatically added when you use a 3rd Party Launcher? What are the icons on the right side of it for? The one in the middle seems to be a gallery icon
ADW EX
Then go into presets, and select FAST
my goodness, this option brings another meaning to FAST!
I'm using go launcher because I didn't like the large dock and not being able to use the whole screen. The transition effects are awesome.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post screen shots of the launchers used to give people an idea of how they look?
I'm not sure how to do it.

Upload via tap talk then it brings up some stuff with img and lots of numbers
Then I say submit and it doesn't do it?

I've reverted to the stock ICS launcher after trying Go, which I'd use (and love) on my CM7 Desire. I like how slick ICS is, but would love to be able to choose the number of homescreens as well have them loop. The quick and tidy stock folder system is excellent, a real shame Go Launcher loses that.
Didn't like the action bar at the top of ADW EX on my Transformer, like it even less on a phone.
Hopefully launcher devs will throw themselves into ICS-centric products sooner rather than later. The modded Gingerbread look seems so old hat now!
I prefer the stock ICS launcher.
I'd like to be able to customize the number of home screens, but outside of that, it does everything I need.
I advise Go Launcher EX! ICS+Go launcher are working perfectly together
ADW had an update yesterday. It look spretty good. Personally, I don't favor the ICS launcher...
ADW EX has been updated for ICS. Now uses HW Acceleration. No more top bar...

Working on a new work around for this, and it should also improve battery life, and possibly amount of time to set up (for everyone but me). The basic idea is this, instead of using a widget to cover up the home screen icons, edit your wallpaper to cover up the icons and have that as the style instead. I havent had much time to work with this yet but i will hopefully get this up and running soon. But i have tested and the shortcuts do survive a wipe if you just backup adw, so you shouldnt have to do any work to set this up after flashing things.
created a work around heres the background... image still needs some editting as it does not like up quiet right with actions

well you need to have the ability to switch between screens with shortcuts but as long as you have that it doesnt matter
I got adw and didn't have the same actions, I tried adw ex and made everything but I couldn't move the minimalistic text on the invisible space? Ha for some reason I can't get this

What you have to do is resize it to cover over it and that is how you move it over. The youtube video is a bit better to see how to do this.
That's what I did and when I did it still wouldn't let me.

I created some image tiles for my home screen; something similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However I'm trying to make it function more like the Android Market home screen, where you scroll vertically as opposed to horizontally.
I'm using Go Launcher EX and as far as I've gathered none of the launchers I've tried have the option to scroll vertically.
Does anyone know of any launchers that have that ability?
Nice!
When you manage to get that thing together i will test drive the hell out of it for you. Windows 7 themed launcher moves up and down. There may be others though so don't quote me on it

I tried Win 7 Launcher previously but you're only limited to tiles 1x1 or 1x2 & some of the tiles that come preconfigured are locked onto the screen (i.e you can't remove them).
Actually what I'm doing is nothing really more then creating tiles & placing them onto the screen. I wish though that I did know how to create a launcher, I'm just using a pre-existing one, though none have the vertical scrolling feature that I would like.
Can you decompile it make the necessary mods repack sign and test? I know I am making it sound easy. I know nothing of developing so I can be of much help.

You got me there bro as I don't know jack when it comes to Android programming/code.
I'm just your basic android user
Dude have you already found yourself a vertical scrolling launcher? I want exactly what you described. It would be AWSOME with desktop visualizer.
Please let me know
No luck as of yet. Hopefully one off the existing launchers will incorporate that function in the future
Request
Why not send out some request to the devs of some of the launchers I am sure someone can make it for you.

Good idea. I just shot the dev team of Go launcher Ex an email.
hey, that's pretty cool. Will you post a tutorial on how you set that up?
Did you try google? Just search vertical scrolling homescreen launcher and found this link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkMFyldgb94

Well it is a vertical launcher but after messing with it for awhile it does not allow me to remove the preset icons (you can only remove ones you create) & if using tiles you cannot get them to align in such a manner that they touch end to end. I was hoping to use the launcher to create tiles of my own using Desktop Visualizer. This is what I have created using Go Launcher, just want the home screens to scroll vertically. My ultimate goal is to create a home screen that scrolls vertically & create something that looks very similar to the Android Market:
I have send an email to the golauncher developers too and vot one back. But i think it's just a standard reply so i don't expect any luck there
EL TEJANO i want exactly the same thing. I've spend so many hours on the Internet searching with no luck. It's getting frustrating. I really hope golauncher or any other good launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro can add this function
So this thread is dead now?

Apex Launcher from the market also has vertical scrolling, and the option to change the transparency of the black background in the app drawer, pretty cool
