Can anyone tell me how to make this quicksearchbar transparent or at least remove it from the launcher? I used @angga aurelius 's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x/general/guide-customize-nokia-x-launcher-t2996914)(thanks to him) to make launcher become transparent and now I want to make this search bar become transparent as well! I mean to remove the black background behind the letter "search". If can not, I'd rather remove it!
I know there are many experienced developers out there and I really appreciate your helps!
This is my systemUI apk file!

you need to decompile Launcher.apk then find search_underline.xml in folder drawable

Thanks very much! I will try it. What about making it transparent? Do you know how to?
the first two hex digits are for the alpha channel, here the colorcode
#cc000000 20% transparent
#b3000000 30% transparent
#99000000 40% transparent
#80000000 50%
#66000000 60%
#4d000000 70%
#33000000 80%
Due to several problems, I can't decompile my launcher.apk so I really appreciate If someone even tries this and posts here the results to let me know!

1. I dont have time.
2. I've just started to learn to code, but almost all tutorials on XDA about how to decompile an apk and how to use apk manager,... are outdated though there're new versions of these tools with different things added. And no one has even cared about making a simple thread on how to use Android Studio-a new programme that is much more faster and effective when developing apps!

You need a services.jar edit and then a png edit. Pretty easy.

That is for the background. Reading through the other links on that tread, I still can't find the line in any or the services.jar areas.

That is a really good site. Sadly, it doesn't change all the icons on the factory rom. Dang, I'm so close to being done with this theme, only a few things standing in my way.
I was just reading a tutorial on this. I think it was in the droid x forum.
Sent from your mom's phone.
Well I made the rest of the icons, now I'm back to needing to change the clock and date color in the bar.
Hi.
I've been playing around with my phone for a while now. I used UOT Kitchen to get transparent notification bar.
But what I'm really interested in is a transparent app drawer. I have gone through all the .png's in systemUI, framework-res, twframework-res, touchwiz30launcher and i did not see a single .png that the system would use as a app drawer background.
And as far as i understood the transparency is enabled in those .xml files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255155 - this is what I'm talking about.
I'd be glad if anyone would tell me what lines/files i have to add and where.
And if anyone bothers to help me, I will most definitely make a guide how to do this
And also, is there a way to change the background color in menus with font color ( cuz i've seen ROM's with white background and grey font)
Peace
PS! I didn't know whether I should post this in General or here, but as it is theme related I believe it belongs here.

I want my own choice of icons and wallpapers. The icons I want is not on the market. You can download/see it through DA. So sometimes they don't have themes for it. Only icons.

use apktool to decompile any theme of go launcher you have. replace the icons you want and then recompile it. Make sure that replaced icons are of same resolution as original.
Hit thanks if I helped.

You have to pull the systemui.apk from the rom. That is where most of the status bar stuff is at. You can use apk tool to decompile and recompile the apk.

I went and pulled the systemui and decompiled but can't seem to find the items i need to edit. Is it just a PNG file or do I need to edit the XML also? Does anyone know where they are located in the systemui?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to modify the background of the sense 5 weather clock (the one that flips with the weather juuuust below it) not to make it transparent like everybody else is doing. I'm trying to theme it to go with a modified app drawer image and navigation bar image. The problem is I don't know which files to edit in order to do that. Could anyone here give me some advice or pointers?
Yes I have searched for a guide or tut to do it but all I find is people supplying one they made or pointing at a thread that has them already made. I would like to do this myself though.
Thanks in advance for any help
Have you heard of sense 5 toolbox? You can set transparency of many items...

its the "commonpanel.9.png" in prism.apk ..search google on how to edit ".9.png" files
Where is that image?

Where is that image? I took a look inside of the prism apk but found nothing by that name.
But for everyone else reading, I'm not looking for transparency, I'm trying to overlay another image over, thus changing how the panel looks.

Are you talking about the panel where the weather condition is ?
That is common_panel.9.png in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Changing this will affect the widgets background too
Thats the one!!!

YES THAT'S THE ONE!
Just in case I added a screenshot, I circled the panel jsu so that everyone knows what I'm talking about. I found that common_panel.9.png but it's basically just a circle?
What I want to do is make that panel look like the navbar you see in the image I attached, if it's just a circle then it might not work or be possible.
Nobody have any ideas?
Does nobody here have any ideas on how to achieve this?

In both Sense 5 and Sense 5.5, the png is indeed found in the resources apk. It is the common_panel.9.png and it can be themed but only basically. The best you can do with it is make it with a border either transparent or semi. However, depending on how skilled you are with editing xml, you could put a custom PNG in the drawable folder and edit the layouts to navigate to that specific image. That way your newly themed image will be used and not the common_panel.9.png. If you look at my theming thread from Sense 5.5, you'll see what I mean.
