Guest Frankish Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Does this work for some of the 8bit pngs in Android as I know recolouring those with photoshop removes the transparency which basically ruins the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Very good find tillaz,I may have to have a play with this since my white theme sort of went out the window(accidentally deleted loads of pngs I needed and sort of spat my dummy out and gave up :lol: ) Edited April 18, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, try using Fireworks and when saving png go to advanced and chose mate color - transparent, if you think on a transparent background. If you want to make objects transparent then you should save it as png 32bit, image will remain the same as it appears on monitor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Hi tillaz, I been working on a theme for a few days and its almost done(well apart from all the statusbar area).Just one thing is giving me a head ache,the bottom of pull down bar. I have tried theming it UOT but it refuses to change,so I tried changing color to match theme with gimp,and it dont look right. Is there a way I can return to the standard type bottom bar,which is easy to theme ? Edited April 21, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Thankyou for the detailed reply,I may have to read it several times to take all that info in :lol: edit: ok I think I see what you mean: 1) decompile systemui.apk 2) edit the png 3) recompile As my theme is white,I can use the auto-white feature in gimp,which should avoid any unnecessary messing about .

Guest tillaz Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thankyou for the detailed reply,I may have to read it several times to take all that info in :lol: also, if you need to use the colourize option to get the white colour, make sure you bucket fill the black boarder (black dots or lines around the whole png) so its solid black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi tillaz, trying to figure out how to get the color value in gimp, I change color with hue saturation but I do not know how to get the value lol. I have everything set up correct as I tested it with the example values above and all my pngs are purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have everything set up correct as I tested it with the example values above and all my pngs are purple. THE VALUE 100 REPRESENTS 0 IN GIMP IF A VALUE IS -4 FOR EXAMPLE IN GIMP, YOU SUBTRACT IT FROM 100 TO GET THE VALUE (96 IN THIS CASE) IF A VALUE IN GIMP IS 10 FOR EXAMPLE ITS MULTIPLIED WITH 100 (110 IN THIS CASE) IF A VALUE IN GIMP IS 0 YOU WOULD WOULD USE 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
