[REQ] Transparent Taskbar for 2.2

**JDM_SOHC** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-05-2010, 11:54 AM

I'm on Virus's B2 ROM and having a bit of trouble trying to find a transparent taskbar that doesn't change my whole setup...

I would also like this. I use Riptides theme to achieve this but have recently been wanting to switch it up, but don't wanna lose my clear task bar....

Yes it does. It is clear also, which actually looks really awesome!!! There are only a couple of things with Riptides theme that I'm not crazy about. I guess for me I would be better off just changing those things back to stock then trying to change a lot of things to clear and not using a theme...

Yeah exactly, which is why I'm not trying to change my whole theme, I like my current setup "red & blue" the only thing I wanted clear was my taskbar but doesn't seem as simple as it was with windows mobile...

Yea I know.. I wish we had a thread full of all of these little customizations that we want. This stuff was every where for the TP2, but maybe in a little bit of time we'll have this for Android. After all, it is much newer than WinMo and will take some time for every one to figure everything out...I'm just very impatient...

The taskbar is a graphic inside you framework-res.apk a bunch of other stuff is in there as well. Thats why its not an easy change. Its not really hard its just not something that can be made flashable without having a copy of the framework-res.apk from your ROM. Attached is an example Vegasdenn made for me.

Thank you for your reply!! I know you released a ROM with Riptide's theme so your a good source of info on this. Remember I am a total Android noob so...how does Riptide achieve the clear taskbar in his to be flashable? I'm just thinking that since we have that, that we may be able to flash just the taskbar (was thinking that anyway untill you rained on our parade

)
