I have been searching this long time and as nobody seem interested, try to do it by myself, but my knowledge is very limited and hasn't been able to make transparent the scroolable background....

There is, anyway, a black version out here, so it shouldn't be that dificult to change it to transparent.

In case someone with a little experience want to try, I attach cwm zips for both versions regular (white) and inverted (black)

I dont now if you seen this so maybe this can help you?
How to: Make Transparent Widgets
I have already read better instructions here at XDA and also follow it without problems, being able to make transparent top and bottom ofthe widget (9.png files), but I'm nearly new in Android and unable to find the way to make transparent the scrollable background (where the messages list reside) and also to change text of messages to white.

I suppose that colours for that are defined in xlm files and search for it inside the apk folders, but none of the changes I made works.

Maybe the fellow who make the inverted version could send some light for us...

So you already tried to change the xml strings but it still don't work? How about with the inverted one that you made? Was it working when you change the xml?

Sorry, but I haven't made the Inverted version. I get it in the Gmail 4.2 leak thread where it was posted:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32764939&postcount=41

And credits goes there to travp624, but I haven't find any post by this guy regarding the mod.

Maybe latter will try to find his profile and PM him for advice...

Regards
