I am using gallery to select icons but the icons are black (and alpha transparent the rest) and completely non-visible in the gallery.
I am looking for any kind of Gallery replacement (best if can attach to the system gallery calling action) where the background is customizable or at least is not black

Edit: Sorry I just noticed the black blackground thingy, that probably won't work sorry
I think floating image can be configured to work like a gallery...Not sure though, but background colour is changeable.

@3rdstring: indeed I tried that one and it had just black background
@iinga: thanks but just tried and no go, it is not processing PNG files properly (no background transparency here so all I get all black floating squares) :/
so still looking for one app that can do what gallery does but with different background color ....

You can change the background to white in JustPictures!
It just has rather uncomfortable and not always working system of choosing image for external usage.

Quickpic or Gallery+
I think I just found the answer...
In QuickPic>Settings>General, choose Use light background. You'll need to click on the individual icons in order to see them against the white background.
The other way that "works" for me is to give the icons memorable names, and "view" them in a file manager, such as root explorer.

How can I get a solid background in the gallery app? It's impossible to see black text icons for example, when the background also changes to black because it stretches out the image and uses it as a backdrop. I want to disable that effect and just have a solid gray grainy backdrop.

My guess would be a fairly simple xml edit would do the trick, but the hard part would be finding the right place and hoping it doesn't break anything.
I don't want to break anything. Maybe there is another simple gallery app in the market? Anybody know of one?

Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
Since I got my Arc, the blueish theme has annoyed me, so I decided to make a monochrome version (I called it All black earlier).
* HTC grey background in all views (se screenshot below)
* All grayscale frames
* White and grey progressbars (thanks to AdamTt for pointing me in right direction)
* CRT-off animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109363)
* Grey dividers in phone and music
To-do:
* Change selected text background from yellow to grey
Tested and works with .145
Suggested widgets:
* Minimalistic Text
* Simple Calendar Widget
* ADW Launcher with TextIconCreator for ADW Theme
Note:
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, SemcMusic.apk and SemcPhone.apk is compressed to Other.zip
For framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk:
Move to /system, set permission, then move to /system/framework
For SemcMusic.apk and SemcPhone.apk:
Move to /system, set permission, then move to /system/app.
Thanks for the nice release! Look awesome!!
I've a little comment/ suggestion that is that possible to have the % battery icon in white color? If it's possible this is just perfect!
also another little request, can you also add the reboot option as well as the crt screen off animation..
Mind uploading the background seperately in a .jpg or something ? Cheers

Hi,
I haven't had the time to look in to it yet, but I very well may.
But please, feel free to enhance my theme - and when you do, don't forget to share

Hi,
the background is a common HTC background and is available for example here:

Cheers. I've been Googling it for 20 mins last night to no avail
how do you change the image that is behind the dialer ? and the one behind the settings ?
would like to know more so I can start playing with my own images, can you show me where to find them ?
I can find them but replacing them doesn't work
Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance
Hi!
Im using Flatisco icon pack and ive applied it to my Holo launcher on my Motorola Atrix 4G running CM11 (4.4.4).
Obviously, Flatisco does not support all my apps so i change thier icons manually, but i noticed that the icons i applied manually are framed with some random ugly color that i dont want. ( Screenshot added, look at HiroMacro, 2Lines for clash...).
How can i make those icons like the other icons, without the color frame? (Ex. Root explorer, Greenify, SuperSu...)
Thank you and have a good day!
Edit: had to resize the photo in order to upload.
Any ideas?
