[UI.expectancy] thoughts/tips for next official update (after 10.3.1.A.0.244) - Xperia Z General

Hello all, I know Sony is doing a great job with the Android support.
But, as always, there is something that we always expect or want, but... nah...
My expectations for the next minor update are:
Red: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not black)
Yellow: Themed Sony's like
Blue: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not white)
Green: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not black)

}
Red: Remove, same as 4.2.2 stock (with double layer)
Blue: Remove white divisor stripe
Red/White: Terrible folder icon
Blue/LYellow: Remove "dock" glass? (terrible), low down dock icons
Red/White: Terrible, could be just one "pattern" of transparency, like app menu
Red: Full transparency
Blue: Why do I need this information again and again...
Red: Terrible blue stripe

blur transparency, black, small nav bar and look like glass theme as windows 7

For me..i like ur design but beside i hope also a full honami port officially

(REQ) Make the bottom bar half the size?

Hi there,
is it possible to make the bottom slider bar in manila about half the size?
Reason is: When it's completely transparent there is a "cutoff" of images in the photo tab and programbuttons in the program tab and maybe thats the reason why its normally solid in all other tabs except the home tab.
So is it possible to make the bottom bar like half transparent, half solid? making it a bit smaller i mean so that it ends at the place where the tab contents cut off?
Made an example image here, I want the sliderbar like the red tint I added.

you can see what i mean by cut off very good on this picture with a transparent slider:
normally the slider is solid and it wouldnt matter if it cuts off behind the slider. but i dont like the look of it. a solid sliderbar just covering the empty space would be perfect.
I think it would be better if there could have a page break on the programs menu, so the bottom icons won't cut the other ones!

Nice splash screens. Is it ok if I use them in my ROMs I publish? Credit will be given in my thread if I do use them.
Nice work here!!!

Focus Matrix Wallpaper

For all my fellow Samsung Focus brethren... here's my latest transparent effect wallpaper. The preview image is for illustration only. You have to use the one in the zip file, unzip it, and email it to yourself. Then download it in your mail, open it, and use as wallpaper. When you slide up to open, you will notice a transparent smoke effect.
Know issues with transparency:
1. Does not work with pin lock set
2. With certain apps open (like email for instance), you will see the bottom soft buttons through the wallpaper
If you don't want the transparent effect, just use the jpg image preview below (right click, save image as...)

NICE really coo! thanks!
Really nice all paper. Any chance you can tell us what you did? Is it just a transparent png?
The way I did it was using transparency and layers... there are a lot of ways to make cool effects. Look at this thread here:

This happens to be my favorite and what I'm using now (but not Focus specific):

A Warning about white status bars on amoled screens.

As I found out with my HTC desire having a white status bar with a amoled screen can lead to this, note the faint line at the top of the phone, this picture is after only a few months of using a white status bar, imagine how bad it could get after a year!

Having a black status bar would avoid this, but our ZTE blades come with white ones.(nice r&d ZTE)
If you have the ability to change the colour of your status bar, please do. If you can't/won't reducing the brightness of the screen will reduce the effect.
If your going to release a rom please consider including the option of having a black status bar or getting rid of the white one all together.
This does not affect LCD screens afaik, amoled is quite bad for screen burn in compared to other technologies.
Good to know, always black'd up
Most roms have a black theme now.

Possible on 2.2 stock rom???
I've tried flashing black status bars from different places but my phone won't boot up. I want a black status bar on the stock ROM. Please tell me how??
Thanks!!
EDIT: I found UOT Kitchen and got a black status bar!!
