Think these sliders might work with your theme?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=65 I am looking at the totally transparent glossy slider one. Figured if it was on he Touch HD it might work. I can't test until the 8th though thanks to no overnight delivery lol
Edit: Singh's transparent slider might be better since it was based upon Pamas which was totally transparent (without icons on it)
