Hey guys, I was creating a transparency theme for LeeDrOiD 2.1 and came across a weird problem I havent come across before. I have the notification bar transparent on the lockscreen, and when using a live wallpaper, but as soon as I choose a standard wallpaper (either through gallery or wallpaper chooser) the transparent notification bar is no longer transparent, but a solid black. I've edited the "statusbar_background" and 3 "status_bar_" png's in framework-res.apk, and pushed it via ADB in recovery.... everything else seems to work fine cept the black notification bar bug when using a regular WP.. Anyone have any idea's?

nvm.. apparently it's a problem with LauncherPro. It seems to resize the wallpaper to NOT go under the notification bar.. Which is normally fine with an opaque bar, but if you use transparent bar, it just fills black where the WP should be :(

Edit: Okay so it happen with all replacement launchers.. The HTC Sense one and Launcher2 (aka the android one) work fine. but LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher both do it :( So much for my kickass LeeDrOid theme with LP

I'd still be quite glad to see your theme... It's something that I wanted, a transparent notification bar, just don't have the ps/gimp skills to do it.
