[Q] Transparent statusbar JS3 + ADW

So I've been searching for a solution to turn my statusbar completely transparent but with no result.
I've edited the statusbar_background.9.png file to completely transparent but all I get is a black statusbar.
On other threads and screenshots they are using other launchers, could this be the problem? Im using ADW launcher.
Btw, The statusbar is transparent when the lockscreen is on but as soon as I unlock and return to the homescreen the statusbar is black.
What I want is my background to go all the way up but still see all icons in the statusbar, so disabling the statusbar is not an option.
Note that I do not mean the draggeddown statusbar.

post your framework-res and i will post a transparent one for you

other launcher use 16 bit resolution. transparent notification bar can only be showed in twlauncher i think

This is my framework-res.apk without the statusbar edits I've done.
Thanks!

It worked now. Thanks anyway lgkahn.
The problem was ADW Launcher as corgar said.
Worked fine with Zeam launcher, lets see if Zeam is worth keeping.

Lol turn off 16 bit mode 'wallpaper hack' option in adw settings. That will give you transparency you wanted.

nvm I found it our

Thanks Merdini!!

How to change icons in GN?

guys, how to change icons in GN?
i tried with desktop visualizer and it worked somewhat but not perfectly. Dock icons are smaller than normal. I can only choose Desktop Visualizer ShortCut for dock. Bigger icons cant be put in dock. Using shortcut with custom icons make the icons pretty small than the normal icons.
But in the screenshot thread i have seen people using custom icons which are bigger.
So, is there anything wrong that i am doing here? is there any other way to make a shortcut and change the icon?
cheers

I suggest you use another Launcher rather than the stock one, Try GO LauncherEX or ADW LauncherEX. These launchers will allow you to customize much more.

I've had the same problems with custom icons turning out small. right now I am running a launcher but seems overkill to run a whole launcher just to change a couple icons.

[Q] notification bar not transparent with launchers

I've tried almost all the launchers in Play store but found the same problem with all.
The notification bar is transparent only in the TouchWiz default Samsung launcher, for the rest is black.
I've attached two pictures with examples and one with device info.
Has someone found a way to make the bar transparent in Holo launcher for example?
Thanks

For nova launcher
Press menu>nova settings>look n feel>tick on transparent notification bar....
I don know if it is prime feature as I use nova prime...
No idea abt holo launcher.....

[Q] Why is there a black background on my custom Nova Launcher app icons?

Hi guys,
I've been playing around with creating my own icons for use in Nova Launcher. When I want to change an app icon into my own custom icon via Nova Launcher's edit function, the icon I've created comes with a black background. In Photoshop, the icon appears to have a transparent background...so why is Nova Launcher adding this black background?

Did you save it as a png file?

Yeah, I was saving it as a PNG file, but I found a workaround. I was previously accessing my icons through Root Explorer, but when I selected them through Gallery, the black background disappeared.

Changing icons in retrorika icon pack. Very few to choose from

Anybody use the retrorika icon pack? Some icons are really horrible. Like the sms icon is a round circle with 3 dots not an envelope. When i hold on the icon it gives me a brush which allows me to ser icons but sheesh i dont see more 40 icons and most are icons of the alphabet letters. Something is weird.
Any help appreciated

I dont know what launcher im using actually. How would i check this? I somehow got the ixon pack to chnage my icons on the pages.

...

No one?

Dahell...

Man, to use icon pack you need custom launcher such as Nova or Action Launcher, if you are not sure what launcher you use then you probably have stock. Install mentioned launcher from Google Play and change icons in options.

Thank u. I have the icons up. The issue is the icons for some apps make no sense. The sms icon is a round icon with 3 dots. Id like to change it to an envelope but dont have that option. It says theres options for hundreds of icons but i dont see it
