K so i put the Status Bar.png in the main folder of the theme, but when i re-spring the device, it becomes transparent, but the top part of the phone has a white line all across it...notice in the screen shot on the top where its cut....that part is the part with the white line....anyway to fix this?

hmmm... no idea.. here try this one

edit: if that one doesn't work, i'm thinking that your wallpaper is not big enough.. just a fix pixels short of the top maybe

check to see if your wallpaper is 320x480 (480 tall)

^^ same problem

well if your wallpaper is 480 tall.. and the status bar is 320x20 tall and transparent, it shouldn't do this..

i gave you two separate status bars.. for them both to do the same thing and two different wallpapers is funny

maybe, just for sake, take the status bar and open it with whatever program you have, flip it 180 deg. then if there is a white strip in the status bar, it will show on the bottom when you have reinstalled it and resprung.. maybe

lemme no

lol... does it not give u the ability to download the attachment?

if not.. make sure that you click the attachment to open it to its full size, then copy it to your disk. it should be the full size of 320x20 if you do it that way

if that doesn't work, i'll figure out another way to get it to u

K i was able to download it! And i think it worked on the home screen by putting the image directly into the theme!

Any idea's tho, how to get the lockscreen status bar to be transparent as well?

take the same status bar, make a copy of it, rename the copy to Default_BG.png, and SSH it into

your theme> bundles> com.apple.springboard

so, you should have StatusBar.png in the main part of the themes folder and you should also have Default_BG.png in your com.apple.springboard folder

try that

Hey man,

thanks for all your help once again! It worked! But I actually had to rename the file to FST_BG.png

welcome bro.

there are also a few other _BG's in that folder as well. FSO, FST, Default.. even Error (the red one when you input the wrong code)

so, if you change em all to the one you want, it should work like you want.. lol
