[THEME l MOD] Transparent widget skins. Pandora, Weather Channel, Facebook + Requests

[ilangoadigal]

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!

 

[ilangoadigal]

Yeah you're right. I fixed all the borders, should be fine now.

 

[ilangoadigal]

Updated the original post with some other apps I've done, Pandora and Gtasks. Probably am going to look at Android Agenda next

 

[OnSterrDroids]

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

thanks

 

[ilangoadigal]

Fixed, sorry about that

 

[miketwn]

@ilangoadigal great job bro...using the weather channel widget (looks so much better). Have you taken a look at making smooth calendar widget transparent? Thanks again....

EDIT: sorry bro my bad....

 

[ilangoadigal]

@ilangoadigal great job bro...using the weather channel widget (looks so much better). Have you taken a look at making smooth calendar widget transparent? Thanks again....

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

Using weather channel, thanks!

Just dl'd twc, thanks a million! That widget was killing my vibe. :-D What are the chances of a facebook widget?

awesome!!! i am all about transparency!
i am requesting doubleTwist's music widget, please!

Sure, here you go.

 

[ilangoadigal]

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.

 

[Little Dragon]

sick! thanks for this, dude!

No problem! I'm gonna snag that double twist, too.

AMAZING!!!! love them all!! Using Weather and Double Twist

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, but I don't think I can do system widgets (like HTC or Cyanogen).

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.

[user7618]

nvm, I had a brain fart.

 

[ilangoadigal]

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.
