[Q] X720 Status Bar Transparency

---

hey guys I am a little confused with making the status bar in froyo 2.2 transparent. Would be great if someone could help me out.

I understand that the file "statusbar_background.9.png" is responsible for the statusbar transparency.
I have 2 questions:

1) Even when I put in a 100% transparent statusbar_background.9.png into my framework-res.apk file, the status bar still shows a shade of rectangle. I've read other posts and they all could successfully implement a 100% transparent status bar without the rectangular shape.

2) This problem did not happen in 2.1. Now, in froyo 2.2, while the status bar is transparent in the lockscreen, it becomes black when I unlock the screen.

or could I be doing something wrong? are there anything to edit in the xml files?

This has to be allowed in services.jar Don't know where in this phone, but it has to be there.

i just rooted my device. then i unstall stock221v13-bugfix-3.

at this time i wanna install themegs.

but i don't know how to install.

do anybody explain particularly??

Which launcher do you use?

For example launcher pro doesn't support a transparent status bar- I used a morph to make it transparent but it just changed to grey- locked its transparent.
I searched a little bit and the problem is launcher pro. It cuts the wallpaper so the back of the status bar is not the wallpaper but the color of the drawer- so it stays black.. or at least grey... I cannot really explain it to you- just google a little bit- it is a well known issue of launcher pro.
