I made a new slider similar to max's clear slider for Sense 2.5, but it's for manila 2.1. I made it from scratch using photoshop! Sorry, I get pretty proud of myself sometimes. The more I look at it the more I see it still needs a little work, but then again, around here nothing stays the same for long. I'll probably make one that's totally transparent. I was thinking Black-Out ROM when I made it; so it's got a slight tint to it. I still think it looks hot.
It's got slight shading issues around the sides as you can see in the lighter pictures. It's barely noticeable on the phone. I didn't notice right away because of my standard black background. I'll work on that too at some point.
Anyway, I know 2.1 is old news these days, but if you're running it, try my cab out and let me know what you think...
