Transparant top bar - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

Just found this in the samsung captive section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115507 it makes your top bar 50% transparant! Will this also work on our g3? This would be a great idea for theme makers!

It's possible to make that transparent. Just edit the png and do a draw9patch.
See I already did that.

You did that retaining the metadata??
I'll try this to see if that works
EDIT: Works gr8
The drawback I noticed is that using photoshop/paint.net, the size of the png increases.Using draw9patch tool can be advantageous as it optimises the png and makes the size even smaller than the original

Open your framework-res.apk using winrar/7-zip
and place the file below in res\drawable-ldpi\ and your transparent top bar is done.
CAUTION: Play with .9 pngs at your own risk because they contain some metadata which gets erased when u edit it with some editor that might lead to undesirable events.
ADVICE: always keep a backup update.zip
