If you have a request please post the APK of the program, thanks!

I have a thing for transparent widgets. I've skinned Pandora, Weather Channel, and GTasks here at first to be transparent. You can request others for me to look at to skin.

Installation instructions: Uninstall your current app. Put the apk on your sd card. Install it using a file manager. These are full apps, not skins.

Fantastic!!!!! The only thing "wrong" is that you can see a border around the 'Large' widget.
Other than that it looks pretty cool! Much thanks!

The fully transparent pandora link is actually linked to the weather one. Can you provide the correct link?

thanks

You're welcome! I'm pretty sure there's a transparency option built into Smooth Calendar, check the settings.

I probably won't do the Facebook widget because as far as I can tell it is embedded into the system in the Virtuous mod I am running and would be difficult to get to without using Metamorph. I'll try messing with it later though.

Always remember to uninstall your current application before installing these skinned versions.

Also the skinning process (for images, anyway) is very easy to do if you don't know how, I can post a guide if you would like to know how.

edit- I attached all the files because rapidshare is being wierd.

I skinned Evernote to look less crappy.

I'd like to fix the ugly search bar but I think that's a .9 png and I'm not good with those yet.
