Hi,
Can anyone of you provide me the StatusSwitch.apk (widget) from your X10 mini. It's available in /system/app, you can use rootexplorer or something else..
I actually screwed up my widget while trying to make it transparent
I have already made RecentCalls widget transparent please see the screenshot and you may use it if you like it.

All you have to do is transfer RecentCalls.apk to your sdcard and using rootexplorer copy it to '/system' first, change the permissions as shown in the image

Yes, it is in Settigs.apk/res/drawble-ldpi
The problem is they are all .9.pngs, so if you happen to make transparent post it here. If you are not sure of what .9.png is, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5206698. Its much different than editing a normal png.
I have switchpro widget (its only 99c US or 74 Euro Cents ) its awesome.. really easy to change the look, you can have 1-8 buttons a mix of whatever you like or heaps of single button widgets you can move around if you prefer, you can make it transparent, glass or normal (grey) you can change the colour of the icons, and the notification colour at the bottom...
SwitchPro
Worth checking out anyways..

I'm tring to create my own dock bar.
it doesn't seem to be difficult
when i create an image on the photoshop it looks transparent
but when I push it into the phone the transparent parts look black.
I compared my dock bar to this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898057 by cryshop
and both look transparent in photoshop.
still when I push cryshop's dock bar it looks transparent unlike mine..
I guess there's something I don't understand about the images..
please somebody explain to me how to make the images transparent on the phone
Save it as PNG-24 with transparency checked! This through "Save for WEB or device" menu... Maybe you didn't check transparency? Or if you did, you might want to optimize those png's - see here... Cheers
Saved as png24 with transparency checked - didn't work
optimized with optiPNG - didn't work
still on phone looks black

Apps
Media
Music
Games
Figured it out with Destop visualizer and apps organizer nm..
Care to share how you linked to the screens ?
Cheers
far as I know it can only be done with ADW right? Using launcher shortcuts. Been trying to figure out how to do that with launcher pro but don't have a solution for it.

Hmm - the link is still working for me. Just to confirm, you went to the URL below (without the spaces, obviously):

LauncherPro only lets you use icons? I think that the sizes LP use are supposed to be:
48x48
72x72
84x84
So in my case I wouldnt be able to use LauncherPro, I'm after using images the size of 355 x 132 to link to a particular screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...
Regards

Oh yeah - that's a good point...
I thought there would have been a detailed tutorial around but there don't seem to be any specific to a tablet.. just lots of little bits here there and everywhere
Ahh , I should have been more specific when I said I figured it out lol..I figured out how to direct my custum icons to open groups of apps via folder organizer..which im sure i very basic stuff lol..I still dont know how to link them to screens.

Wasn't working before but worked now! awesome. Now if I can figure out how to make it work with minimalistic text... I'd be able to make anything!
Right now, I can create the shortcut but can't get minimalistic text to reference the shortcut.

Oh and there's me thinking you found a way to link to screens lol
Nevermind, suppose we'll have to keep searching..
Yeah. Now that I know how ot make icons that go to specific screens, need to knowhow to make it so I can either make the transparent, or link a minimalistic text to it.
You would need to use ADW Launcher Ex. Install it, then hold on the screen to pop the widget addon, click Launcher Addons, then Select Screen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
This will create a shortcut to the specified screen. To make it transparent, select and hold the icon, select edit, click on the icon image, select picture, adw docks catalog, You can select any image and the shortcut will now be transparent. You can create a widget though minimal text, and then resize it to go over the now transparent screen shortcut.
I had issues with adw. It wouldn't allow me to use minimalistic text or the bob clock. Also. I wanted to use launcher pro for its Widgets.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out and make this Beautiful widgets skin for me or at the very least help me do it. They have changed the way they theme the SC now and the pngs have borders around them similar to a PNG.9 which I could edit, but these are just pngs, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried, but it didn't show up. Thanks in advance. Below is the thread the theme is located:

In the attachments is the background I would like, so you can get the colors right.
can you post the default bg image of that beautiful widgets clock?

I wasn't trying to bother you bro. You already were busy, but I thank you. Do you have to have the default or can you use a skin? because the default skin is not on the sd card, it's in the apk itself and hard to find.
nah man, its cool.. i wanna help. I've never really used beautiful widgets so i am not sure how it works but from what i understand you have the default widgets and they have a themeing engine where you donwload skin apks and you can select between skins through the app?

That's right, but The default widget is in one of the drawables and I can't tell which. I can post the folders in a zip and also what I got so far.
Below is the drawable and drawable-hdpi out of beautiful widgets, the skin I had been working on called SparkICSClockSkin. after all it is your original creation, and some skins I downloaded that you can use for an example.

Alright, thanks. I already did all the pngs in the zip above called, SparkICSClockSkin.zip, but I don't know how to compile it. I already tried it regular, and I already put borders around it like a png.9 but can't get it to show up for nothing.
I also think I just found a Beautiful widgets dev kit. Check attachments.
Here is a little info on it too: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/th...-widgets-skinning-thread-147.html#post1309792
did you decompile the apk or did you just extract? it seems you just extracted it thats why the .9 borders arent showing up....

I got it working, I just have to edit it to look a little better now, but you don't extract the skins. their just in a folder on the sd card in Beautiful widgets/skins/scskins, but They are compiled like png 9's but you don't have to run them through eclipse like you would for framework. I got it working by using draw9patch and then changinging it from a png9 to a png. then I rebooted and it showed up. just needs a touch up.

ok i guess what your way is just replacing the image files in it but they are originally .9s
but your way should work too
We're your able to come up with anything ?
I did replace them with png 9's but I just changed the 9 to just png like in the folder, bc I don't see the ext 9.png. But anyway, here is what I got, but you can barely see the blue border I made, because of the stretching, and I don't like the numbers or how close the number background is..
Sent from My 3D.
super clock theme
my first watcha think?
That's good stuff. I actually couldn't get it the way I wanted it on beautiful widgets, bc I hate how close the number backgrounds are when compared to real sense clock, so I made one for Fancy widgets. Here's mine. Original is on the left and mine is on the right.
Hi,
If added two widget to one theme, than I've changed the theme. Unfortunately Themer didn't remeber my widgets when I go back to the first theme.
How can I save my theme including the widgets?

just what i was looking for!

This was exactly what I was looking for, but seems I'm gonna have to watch it somewhere with sound on
Still not 100% good but better!
Well, I dunno if I should just have edited my old, but anyways..
I saved my theme, worked fine, I thought it would help to not be so hasty in unlocking my rebooted phone. But it didn't.
At least with this I could restore my old extra widgets, except, it seems, when a widget needs to set some settings before it is shown correctly, even exporting the theme doesn't work for that particular widget. So my flashlight widget (in which I needed to choose an icon for the light) was invisible, when I unlocked widgets I could find it though, but couldnt get to its settings. And my gtasks widget which needed an account was just a white useless blob, that I needed to remove and then reinsert.
Thanks anyway
