Adding Custom Panels

[Guest Redmanll34]

Build: BGill 2.5.1 with R&R black theme (applied) and bliss(installed only)

My problem: Been trying to make custom panels for my home screen, I am able to create them and they work perfectly. The issue is in how it looks. If you are using bliss then you always have a transparent glass around your panels. But when you create or enable a new panel, it does not have this. I've been searching for a fix for the good part of today and also last night. And have yet to find one.

Example: When I enable Cvolume after installing the cab, it shows up but no transparent glass, so what I think is the issue is there is no data in the .cpr file as shown below. I'm thinking that if I can get this to work, then adding that glass into custom panels will be somewhat the same....

Which works fine and looks fine. And I think the part in the red is the answer to adding that glass

Also second question: I want to modify Cvoicemail so that when tapped it will open visual voice mail. I don't know if this is possible, if not i will make a custom panel for it, but I was hoping for the notifications that come with the premade cvoicemail. Any ideas as to where to start?

And does anyone have the cvoicemail cab? I disabled mine and it does not want to come back. I'm assuming it needs to be reinstalled now.

Thanks for looking over my post I know it is long, I have tried to do as much research as possible but I am getting frustrated now, so I am turning to you for help. So thank you for reading my post and if you have a suggestion or an answer, please and thank you :)
