Transparent nav bar

Replace "SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\navigation_background_transparent.9.png" with a transparent one.
Edit: Do you mean fully transparent or the GEL Gradient NavBar?
My gripe is the status bar . They added so much transparency to it they should have just left the damn thing transparent . Im running ViperOne and it has a setting that allows you to change it . Personally Id prefer to manually do it myself but its been a while since I messed with HTC and their frameworks / systemui . So slowly learning how to manipulate it in terms of changing things . I usually prefer to make these changes myself .
Here are the simple ones .....
Transparent Status Bar
Replace the status_bar_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in
SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
Transparent Nav Bar on Homescreen and Blinkfeed page
Replace the home_launcher_bg.9.png and home_panel_gradient.9.png and prism_feed_gradient.9.png with transparent ones in
a) if you have com.htc.launcher-1.apk in data\app\
com.htc.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
b) if you have only Prism.apk in system\priv-app\
Prism.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
and also change the navigation_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in
SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
and you may need to change the transparency for the Lockscreen after you made the above change to the Transparent Nav Bar because it will look weird like this
change the lockscreen_nav_bg.9.png to the transparent one in
HtcLockScreen.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
then it will look like this
Transparent Status Bar
Replace the status_bar_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in
SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
Transparent Nav Bar on Homescreen and Blinkfeed page
Replace the home_launcher_bg.9.png and home_panel_gradient.9.png and prism_feed_gradient.9.png with transparent ones in
a) if you have com.htc.launcher-1.apk in data\app\
com.htc.launcher-1.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
b) if you have only Prism.apk in system\priv-app\
Prism.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
and also change the navigation_background_transparent.9.png with a transparent one in
SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
and you may need to change the transparency for the Lockscreen after you made the above change to the Transparent Nav Bar because it will look weird like this
change the lockscreen_nav_bg.9.png to the transparent one in
HtcLockScreen.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi\
then it will look like this

Good info thanks, you helped me track down a couple of files that I was looking for.
A question if I may, do you know what file(s) are putting that annoying line between the dock and the navbar ?
Open the files in an image editor and erase the image leaving a transparent image or create new transparent images of the same sizes and replace the existing with the new.
Thank you. But where is the xx.apk/res/xxhdpi located? And what image editor would you suggest?
Edited: never mind. I'm dumb.

SystemUI.apk, HtcLockscreen.apk and Prism.apk are located in system/priv-app/
and if you have com.htc.launcher-x.apk, it is located in data/app/

Oh okay, I thought I could do it on the phone. Man this is so much for me. Haha. I wish I could find a flashable zip or modded apk. Time to stop being lazy

This will need xml editing (unless someone can come up with better idea)
1. edit : com.htc.launcher-1.apk(or Prism.apk)\res\layout\main_launcher.xml
search for
Code:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/nav_bar_div" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/margin_l" android:paddingRight="@dimen/margin_l" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/common_b_div" android:scaleType="fitXY" />then change android:layout_height="wrap_content"
to android:layout_height="@dimen/navigation_bar_divider_height"
2. edit : com.htc.launcher-1.apk (or Prism.apk)\res\values\dimens.xml
add <dimen name="navigation_bar_divider_height">0.0dip</dimen> to it
You'll have as in this screenshot

Try mine .... make a backup first.
This come with Transparent Status Bar & Nav Bar and no divider between dock and NavBar.

Many thanks, your file worked.
Perhaps there's something wrong with the way my apk was compiled but there were no errors.
Great ....nice homescreen
Maybe you want to update it again as I just reuploaded a new one as I notice an extra png that is not supposed to be in the apk. (but it will make no harm with that extra png).

Thank you! But for some odd reason I have like a shadow effect on my dock.
Edited: it's also like this using other launchers.

The lower part is controlled in SystemUI.apk
I guess the launcher is not replaced.
To have the Transparent Status Bar only, the navigation_background_transparent.9.png need to be the original one.
Do you want only the Transparent Status Bar ? I'll make one tomorrow as it's very late now... it's 2.30 am here and it's my bed time... good night (maybe you can PM me on what actually you want to achieve)
