As requested and to be honest, I like this alot

This has only been tested on my device running ARHD 1.3.0 so let me know how it goes.

Make sure you take a NANDROID backup before doing anything!

Funny enough I made a similar version in my Home forum, but I added semi transparent popup (also slightly more square, only 2 degrees) and based it on CM9 Launcher (compiled from source). If you are interested, I can PM you downoad link.

So sorry for highjacking this Thread, if you`re not happy with this post, I will delete it. In any case feel free to add my version to OP, if you like.

It should work on Pauls rom but if he has made any launcher changes then you will lose them.

Always do a backup before you flash anything though

Just use my update.zip from one of my threads and drag your apk in the zip. You can change name in update script with Notepad++ in MetaInf folder, so people don't read mine all the time :D

BTW - I will answer your PM once I'm back at my PC tomorrow.

    Is there a way to incorporate this with a different launcher? I would like to do this to Nova launcher. I have changed images in the Nova.apk SystemUI.apk, are those the only changes needed and if so what images? And maybe a transparent icon I can drop in it to replace stock image?

    Edit: Yes you can do this on ANY Launcher. Just modify three images. The: portal_ring_inner.png, portal_ring_outer.png, portal_ring_rest.png and make them transparent using this image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14168006/hotseat_track_holo.9.zip. Its a transparent image. Rename it to the three incons above and drop them into your launcher.apk, then move to Phone and reboot.
