Custom Icon Background Transparency Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Hope you can provide some assistance. I got an all-white icon set, and modified a few .pngs in Photoshop to add color to match my theme. Backgrounds were transparent, displayed transparent in Photoshop, still opened as transparent after I exported them for web as png-24s with transparency preserved. However, as soon as I drag the icons over to the root of my storage card, my phone (HTC One) displays the once transparent backgrounds as black. What gives? I've tried using Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS6, and GIMP with the same results. I'm I missing something?

Editing Icons

I've tried to edit a couple icons I've found to make my own shortcuts (basically changing colors) but whenever I do it leaves the icon with a background.
What program is out there to make an icon transparent..preferably freeware or something cheap?
Thanks

[Q] Need better gallery app

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.

[Q] Changing font colors on curtain clock

Hi all!
Aspiring dev looking for an answer to what should be a simple question.
I have a rom downloaded that uses an ADW MIUI theme. The original dev replaced the pull-down notification bar with a "glass" one.
All in all the theme looks nice, except for one issue...
The font color for the clock is black and the notification bar cuts off the area of the background wallpaper, making the notification area black as well, "hiding" the clock.
Is there something in framework that I can use to change this without making it overrule all the other fonts?
I really like this rom but the only thing I need to fix is the clock font color.

[Q] Theme Q - Editing Widgetlocker Icons (Photoshop)

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

[Q] Removing icon color frame

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?
