Transparent nav bar

Ok Im still having issues getting this 9patch png image under control . To give you some background . Im attempting to darken the Status bar transparency so it isnt so difficult to see the icons when a lighter wallpaper applied . In past versions of android ie: Ice cream sandwich , I would simple open SystemUi.apk pull the png file and edit the file in paintshop pro . Save the image then just add the png through winrar back into the apk then flash a update zip and apply the new changes . Of course with draw9patch files it isnt that simple since whenever I attempt to save the file it corrupts it . I have attempted to edit the png files and instead seem to break the images in the process. Ive searched and used draw9patch suit and still I am unable to get it to work properly since it always spits out errors when i attempt to do so . The end result I am attempting to do is either darken the status bar transparency . I want to keep it transparent but just darker . That or apply a gradient transparency much like the one found in googles stock launcher status bar (Starts opaque but finishes as fully transparent . Im on Skyfall rom by Ibastid, Any assistance would be appreciated . Trying to learn this since its something I want to learn .
Don't want to sound too demanding but is there a way you can fix this to work with the latest 4.4.3 update? Flashed it today, system ui errors everywhere.
As you can see here, I'm already running the latest 4.4.3 with transparent NavBar and Status Bar.
But I'm unable to share it now as I'm away on holiday and don't have my PC with me

3Here 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

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.

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/

Many thanks, your file worked.
Perhaps there's something wrong with the way my apk was compiled but there were no errors.
