App icon transparency?

[tomoshibi]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble with app icon transparency...

Does it even work?

When I give an app a PNG icon with transparency, it doesn't work. For some reason, native apps do, however:



(the actual Physics app has the transparent parts filled out too)
Does anyone know why only Camera has the transparency or how to force it on for other applications?

edit: wow, okay. tried reading a few more things...

does anyone know how to disable overlay for an app only?

It is in a plist somewhere in the app. If you change hte icon using Winterboard in summerboard mode I know transperent does work otherwise every theme's icons would be having a problem

I have the UIPrerenderedIcon set to true, and it doesn't affect AppIconShadow...

sorry I dont know how to do it through the plist of the app =/ do you not use winterboard?

[tomoshibi]

yeah, I am using Winterboard, the thing is, traansparency of the icon works. But I don't have a custom theme using custom AppIconOverlay, Shadow, etc. I like the default ones. But when it's there, I get the black blob behind.

you shouldn't if you are using the summerboard style with themename/Icons/Meebo.png or all themes would have that problem =/ maybe try setting the thing you have as true to false?
