Hello,
1. can someone tell me how to get the taskbar as transparent as on the home tab on the other tabs? if you switch to the 2nd tab to the last one they are opaque. This looks very strange while having a transparent tasbar at the bottom.
2. how can I get rid of those dark frames around the music player slider in the music tab. They look pretty nasty while having a bright wallpaper.
both things shown in the attachment.
Thx in advance!
Here you go
you can find a lot more in the sticky's at first page

1. Install TouchX transparent music controls background"
2. I don't quite understand your question... Are you talking about the slider? or the taskbar? Have you allready installed a transparent slider .cab? (and is this not working correctly for you?)
Grtz,

Thank you guys! Music controls background is exactly what I was looking for!
The slider unfortunately not
I am looking for a slider that looks like the original one does on the home tab. It is semi-opaque there. If you switch to any other tab except the home tab it will get non-transparent as seen in my picture on the first tab. On the home tab you can still grasp the wallpaper through it.
So I don't want a fully transparent one as from TouchX.

Hmmm....so you want a semi-opaque slider fore al the tabs, as far as i know there is no semi-opaque slider only a transparent one.
I just want the same slider transparency level that it already has on the home tab. On any other tab on the slider automatically changes to non-transparant!!
push! nobody any clue?

Get the transparent CAB above, then add te semi-transparent to your wallpaper manually (via photoshop). Make sure you have "Background 4 all tabs" first.
If you don't have one, I recommend Co0kie Home Tab because it has many option (including the All Tabs Background) in just one CAB.

I remember looking into this several months ago for exactly the same reasons you give.
As there is definitely only one manila file for this slider background/curtain, I decided that there must be some additional code on the pages themselves that affect how transparent/opaque it is.
Unfortunately I have never mastered that level of code change, so I gave up and just went for the fully transparent look as that is at least consistent across all tabs (see following screenshot).

touch x has one check link.

Not so. The slider is the same semi-transparent on all tabs, it's just the background there on most tabs other than the home tabs are dark. Check the images tab with part of an image behind the slider and you will see that it is indeed the same semi-transparent slider.
Can you make the quick link icons smaller?
I thought when you open CHTeditor you can change the amount of quick links. the more rows and lines you add the smaller the icons i thought.
If thats not what your lookin for you can install an icon change program and make your own icons. Just search this forum for the threath what shows you how to do this.
i've been trying to use themes, and noticing that with launcherpro, after you press menu on the home screen, some of the icons don't change along with the new theme. as such, the search, notifications, and preferences icons don't change. does anyone have a way to fix this?

You have to touch a blank spot on the screen. A menu will pop up, hit shortcut then applications. Pick your app then click on the icon and it well ask if you want the default icon or a custom one. You should be able to use any pictures you have in your gallery. You can also google png (fill in the blank) icon pictures and then download them to your sd card.
No he's talking about the icons for the menu options. When you press menu on the homescreen. I believe its because some of the icons call on the system default icons (the default in your case being whatever theme your using) and some come with the app. I think you would have to open the apk and swap out the .pngs with the icons you want to use.
I think...I've never done this, so hopefully someone will come in and fill in the holes that my ignorance couldn't.

yea thats what i meant. here's what it looks like currently. its a honeycomb theme with bionix 1.3.1 and using launcherpro. you can see that some of the icons are the new blue ones, but the rest didnt change.
i tried using ninjamorph to change the the icons, the blue ones are in system/framework, but i dont know where the notification, search, and preferences ones are located. anyone have any clue?
Those specific ones should be located with in the launcher pro apk, if im thinking about thi s correctly. you will need to resign the apk after making my modifications for it to work. Hope this helps

do you mean the dock on the home screen?
I don't know how to actually remove it, but you could set the background to transparent and remove all icons.

goto prefrences, then select theme settings. select dock background , and select the option hide background.

you'll have that + + + + + label for adding another icons...
you COULD in theory create a blank PNG or jpeg or whatever.. save it in your gallery (or wherever.. )
Long press on one of the Plus signs.
Select "Replace"
Select "Custom Icon"
then select your blank png (blank.png attached to post
et voila
I have added a blank.zip to the post
just unzip the blank.zip and there will be a blank.png inside....copy to your phone..... find it in the gallery.. and i can confirm it works
example screeenshot of it in action
(i have left dock background in place just to prove it is working,, but easy to disable)
show/hide dockbar
if you dont need the whole dockbar on your homescreens you can also configure to show or hide it with a gesture.
go to "settings" -> "function-settings" -> "buttons and gestures" -> "action for wiping down" -> "show/hide dockbar"
(i hope this are the names of the menus in english because i have the german version)
now when you wipe your finger down on any homescreen the dockbar shows or hides itself.
thats the settings i prefer but do as you like!

Hello, is there any way to remove dock and use its space for widgets?

No you can't.
1. Wrong section
2. Dumb question
3. Lazy user
when you tap the + icon, some options pop up where you can select "blank" and + icon will disappear

This is the best way. However the homescreen real estate is not expanded to reach the bottom of the screen, unlike most other launchers. For this reason I switching back to ADW, although Go's transition fx are amazing
Bit of a bump here, can i not replace the dock with say Arrow Dock? It's completely different so is it possible?
This is arrowdock:

Actually you can.
Set glide action to hide dock bar, return to home screen and 'glide to hide',reset glide action to whatever. Now when home, no dock bar. Voila!

wrong section yes but not a stupid question nor a lazy user. its an option in adw that i wish go launcher had. i would switch to adw for this option alone but i'm having other more serious issue with adw. the point of this is to use the space so my widget extends to the bottom of the screen. it just looks a lot cleaner instead of empty space at the bottom where the dock would be.

I think the earlier question was removing the dock bar and using the real estate to place widgets, which you really can't. Hiding the dock bar? Yes of course. Using the space for widgets? No can do.

You can use the space for widgets, the trick is that you have to go to a larger grid size, place the widget at the bottom, and then change the grid size to be one notch smaller.
I did this so that my twitter widget is stretched to the very end of the screen, and the same thing for the jorte calendar on another screen.
It's easy
Using the additional screen area at the bottom can be done, but only for resizable items (widgets). Here's how. Increase your vertical grid capacity by one. I run a 5x4, so I would switch to a 6x4. Use a gesture feature to hide the dock bar. Any widget that was on the bottom of your previous grid will now be one row up from the bottom. RESIZE the widget to occupy the bottom row (do not move it). For a 1x1widget, you would be turning it into a 2x1 widget. Now, go back into your preferences ---> screen settings. Revert back to your original grid layout and return to your home screen. The bottom widgets should occupy the full lower area.
There are three problems with doing this.
1) Any time you show the dock bar, the widgets will not adjust, meaning that the dock will cover part of the widget(s).
2) If you long press any of the lower widgets, it will detect the missing grid row and relocate the widget. In the event this happens, you must repeat the process all over again. This means no moving or resizing widgets once they're in place.
3) The spacing between the lower widgets and anything directly above them is increased due to the widget occupying a larger vertical area. This creates a less uniform look. Note that this only applies to widgets that do not stretch when resized (fixed widget size).
How this helps.
This thread is awesome, now I can finally make some MIUI like interface.
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but I searched and couldn't find anything.
I'm playing around with the 'Sky' theme and trying to tailor it for my purposes. I've changed the number of home screens from 3 to 5 and have amended the wallpapers accordingly. On the far right wallpaper, there is a whitened off section with some divider lines. There is a widget with "News", "Maps", etc. that fits with those dividers. I then needed to move the hotspot icons over from their original page and this is where I'm coming unstuck. There is a "snap to grid" functionality going on that means that I can't line up the icons with the titles - they are often "snapped" slightly off alignment to the section titles. I've tried playing with the number of rows and columns and can get it to look better, but never perfect.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the "snap to grid" and simply be able to position the icons in exactly the place you want ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi wilsojer,
This is a tough one, as the icons and alignment weren't designed to be altered. Your best bet would be to delete the icons and then look for similar icon images on the net. From here you would add these icons as images inside the Everything Widget that contains the text. Apologies for the inconvenience.
