[Q] Need somebody to change color for 2 images on a theme, please! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm using a theme called MiuiOrangeFree, and it looks awesome. However there's a problem. On the home screen and app drawer there are still blue lines, which are really visible and look ugly.
I'm using CM10.
The first blue line is the horizontal slider near the bottom of the screen of the home screen. The one that separates the app drawer and 4 buttons from the rest of the screen(a thin line).
The second one is the horizontal slider in the app drawer, on the very bottom of the screen, and on the top, the blue line separating the "apps & widgets" from the app icons.
If somebody could do this for me, I would be really grateful, as I plan to use this theme all the time.
I can also do it myself if you can tell me how to do it. I never really did any of this, but I'd like to learn it someday.

[Q] Android ImageSwitcher

Hi, can I ask you what widget is in these applications at the bottom?

Is it ImageSwitcher, TabHost, ViewSwitcher or something else?
Thx very much for help!
Are you talking about that horizontal strip of icons?
Looks to be a couple of ImageButtons in a LinearLayout. Horizontal Orientation. With some padding on each ImageButton. With a background for the LinearLayout.
Think he means the icons on each screen corner.
But im not shure...

I wasn't too sure especially because of the iPhone picture.
For that grid of panels stuff it looks to be either nested LinearLayouts or a TableLayout with a FrameLayout within that to overlap the app icon on the image of the app =/

black bar for hub overlapping

hey guys, so i have decided to make a hubs setup for my prime.
i am using adw, and minimalistic text.
i am trying to set mine up to look something like this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22760433&postcount=45
but i seem to be having a problem with the materialistic text bars.
the bars are like overlapping each other.
eg if you look at the link above.
the home bar is red, and the ones underneath are black. for me the black ones would kind of overlap a little bit. so that the black one actually goes on top of the red bar. (only a tiny bit but still makes the effect look bad)
how do i fix this?
please help

It's a little difficult to understand your problem w/o a pic or something, but i'll try.
A few things you can try are:
1. see if your red bar is set to be somewhat transparent. In the link you put the bars are probably not transparent at all so they might be overlapping, but you wouldn't notice.
2. Try putting the red bar on AFTER the black bar/s so that it is on top.(IDK if that is how it works or not, but it might work)
3. try changing your grid size. I maximize mine so when I am re-sizing widgets I have the most options possible for different sizes to make them.
Hope something works.
Try going into ADWSettings -> UI Settings -> Screen Preferences -> Advanced Settings and check Auto Stretch

[Q] Why is widget grid size limited when customize on your own phone?

I get that the developers/designers are only doing themes for specific screen resolutions right now, but why is the core tools for creating custom Themer widgets restricted by large grid settings?
Confused as to what I mean? Please let me explain.
I can create a custom widget, which starts with the background box. But, in order to line the background box up with my home page background, I have to set the color of the background widget to a solid color and then resize it since it doesn't visualize the snap-to grid element (which it does).
So, as I said above, why is this limitation there in the first place? On my Note 2 I can't create a widget that goes to the top of my screen because it is out of bounds of my screen and when I go to add elements to the widget, they don't line up correctly unless I resize the widget background box to snap to below the top of my screen (by a good amount).
So, is it at least possible to have the default grid snap distance greatly reduced or give us an option to set it ourselves in regards to setting the widget itself?
I've encountered zero issue with moving elements within a widget box other than the inability to lock items individually once placed (that would truly help in them designing).
Sorry for any confusion, I'm not aware of the standard labels for the various design elements of a widget or the like.

Hows it going? Im Bill from MCS.
Im a still a bit confused as to what you are asking and what tools it is that you are using in Themer that are giving you the issue.
Im sure you have already made sure that padding is turned OFF in the settings, but I have to say just to be safe.
IF you are getting spaced on the sides or top or your widget, you might want to check to see if you are using odd numbers for the Grid (rows and columns). Because of the way custom build widgets from WYSIWYG editors like Zooper and Everything widget render on the screen you might be a 1px gap if you are using odd numbered Rows or Columns in your grid.
This is the first thing I would check. I have seen an issue where for some reason I get a 2 or 4px padding on the top and bottom of the widgets. It only happens to me now and again. I can usually delete the widget and re-add it to get rid of the issue.

Make normal icons comes back?

Just got the T-Mobile android 9 update. I've always used the stock launcher, and previously I was able to make the damn rounded squares behind each icon go away. Now I'm back to all my icons being shrunk so they'll fit in the stupid space wasting white rounded squares. Any way to go back to just icons with no "helpful" extra background?
Go to an open space on your device. Hold down on screen until wallpaper>themes comes up. Hit themes. On the bottom hit icons. Find the icons you more closely related to previously, and there ya go!

How to edit the widget icons with Nova Launcher

Hi,
I am struggling with editing the widget icons. I have for example multiple IFTTT and Philips Hue widgets but there is no edit button in the widgets. The edit button is only in the IFTTT and Hue app themselves, but not in the widgets. Is there any way to edit the icons of the widgets?
If can edit the icon of the IFTTT app and Philips Hue app but it does not affect the widgets at all. Now I have just 10 grey circles in my home screen and it looks super boring. The only difference is the text. It would make much more sense to have at least different colours so I know which button is for red lights and which for blue lights to begin with. But completely customizable icons would be perfect.
I have googled this but in every single place the instructions are for how to change the app icon, not the widget icons.
