Guest Elbereth Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Installed this yesterday. Works fine and I like it (actually I find it even better than the colored icons + circle battery I was using before). :) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest InspectorFrost Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi FatherD Question please Is it at all possible for me to open up your original oxybubble for r9 and edit (i presume png?) files to make the black bar 75/80% transparent ? im guessing that all the icons have some sort of black border to, so maybe edit them also? once this is done could i zip it back together and expect it to work ? or is this an over simplistic view on how it all works ?? lovin the Oxy tast on my phone, looks fab with a black wallpaper but the black bar sometimes doesnt sit well with a coloured wallpaper. lookforward to the Dons answer Cheers Guv Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David_P Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Hi FatherD, I hope you don't mind but I have taken your fantastic work with OxyBubbles 2 and merged it with a MOD furniel was kind enough to help me with. Basically I have used a transparent notification background PNG in conjunction with an edited services.jar (to make the notification semi transparent) and merged this in to your OxyBubbles2 theme. I hope y'all like it :-) David POxyBubblesII_R9_transparent_notification.zip Edited October 6, 2010 by David_P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found i could edit the png's ok but they just showed up gray rather than transparent. also, if you did edit a jar for transparency to work, does that mean i can now just edit a png for a clear notification bar ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the transparent background and extracted from another MOD, I was lucky enough to have furniel (another user on this forum) edit the services.jar for me and I just replaced FatherD's background and repackaged both the services.jar and the framework-res.apk in to a signed update zip. I cannot really take any credit, I am just mixing and matching :-) David P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Boots fine and works fine on the lock screen but when I unlock the phone the transparent bar just looks black on my wall paper, all the icons display correctly but it's like there's no wallpaper displaying under its! Any ideas? Is it just the status bar background I need to edit or did I miss one or more?? Cheers then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Is it just the status bar background I need to edit or did I miss one or more?? Cheers then Afraid I can't answer that. I do know that for the notification background, the transparency was set within the services.jar (the level of transparency) and having a fully transparent png background pic was just a means of seeing that. Not sure if the lock screen works the same way, you'd need a real developer to answer that one. I would say maybe pm furniel and see if you get the know how. I recall i was told a hex code to look for as at the time I was thinking of doing the same to the app drawer background, but I decided that would be too jumbled based on the ammount of stuff I have on my desktop as well.

Guest InspectorFrost Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for the time to answer, appreciated Actually, ive discovered that it works properly on the native Android launcher but only displays properly on the lock screen when using ADW or Launcher Pro....Most odd !

Hi BashyUK, If you want to have the transparent notification background use just mine, if you want FatherD's original use his. Both will update all that is required and DO NOT need to be added upon.

Guest InspectorFrost Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Can you post a screenshot Inspector?? David P Hey David Here you go....still have a slightly unorganised desktop but at least you can see the bar....i might go transparent crazy now i know how to do it and maybe reduce the opacity of the top bar of the notification shade (there are 2 or 3 status icons that still have a dark background that need to be sorted but was pleasantly surprised that most of the other stuff had a clear backing Just wondering if there is a nice way to soften off the white notification box in pic 3 without it looking to weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, please do post up the PNG or the full zip and we can maybe provide an "updated Transparent OxyBubbles II - R8/R9 Update.zip" file :-) David P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BashyUK Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) p.s. what's that app in the notification drop down in PIC 3 ? JuiceDefender is the app, the first one I ever installed and bought! That looks v nice, I have SKY which is similar but hey, it's been oooh must be a week, time for a change :) Btw, is it the gold version if I use yours David_P? And i have Alex-V 1.7 but as it's Sense based am sure it will be compatible... Edited October 7, 2010 by BashyUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
