Default Clear lock screen slider

It there s clear lock screen slider of there for the X2. I love that look and miss it from my X.

If not how would one go about making it clear? Don't mind learning how to do so my self.

I am envisioning a "floating button" that will move across the screen with no background thats visible.

Well I don't have a X anymore to take a screenshot. So ill try to explain it the best way possible.

After pressing the lock button to wake your device at the bottom are the sliders to unlock and turn sounds off. When I say clear lockscreen sliders Im talking about those being there and functional but being completely invisible. It gives the phone a much nicer and cleaner look without loosing those function. Once you get used to it its very nice. I have a X2 now but had it on my X and old Droid. People made it as an zip that you could flash or incorperated it in there rom or theme.

Its quite nice. Hope that helps.

Those are 9png files. If you dont know anything about decompiling, recompiling, etc.. then you don't care so this will make your process easy. Normally, you wouldnt break a 9png files guides but since you wont be able to tell in this case, it wont really matter. Use 7zip or something and go into your ROMS system/framework folder.. find framework-res.apk. double click on it and go into the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Drag out all the jog-tab-xxx.9.png file to your desktop or into a folder. Don't worry, draggin them out will not remove them from the framework. Now, find the ones you want and use Gimp or paint.net to make the images fully transparent. (color to alpha). Use 7zip to stick them back into the same folder you took them out of. DO NOT.. unzip your ROM. install the ROM again without wiping data. good to go.

My motto has always been.. if you cant remove it, make it invisible!

Is it possible to use root explorer and do this using phone? Or must it be done via PC?
