Is there a way, either programmatic or with user gestures, to change the background of the launcher app?
It's a dismal black background. I'd like a sunny yellow. How to do this!?

How do you change the DOCK BACKGROUND when using ADW Launcher.
I am familiar with Launcher Pro and had no issues.
I have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.
I have an image set as my background and when it is vertical, the image looks fine. However, when the orentation is changed, the image get streched out. If there a way that I can change the image based on the orentation of the device?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just don't like using stock launcher or whatever you wanna call it, I've come accustomed to using third party launchers..if i'm using Apex or something.. does the stock launcher continue to run in the background and drain more battery then if I were to just use stock? Is there anyway to disable something if my phone is rooted so I can continue to use Apex but stop the default launcher from running as well? Or does android not work like that and if I have apex it cancels out the default launcher?

I'm planning on buying a sony ericcson xperia x10 mini pro but I don't like the blueish UI I saw video of it running ADW Launcher and that looked great but, Does using a different launcher also change the UI in the texting/emailing screens? , I want to have homescreens like ADW Launcher and the texting/emailing UI should look like pure android or ADW style.
When I think about the word "launcher" it isn't clear, does it modify only the home screens or the entire UI of the android operating system

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy app was built on the Android 1.5 platform. I'm in the process of bumping the APIs used to 2.1 . I am still leaving minSdkVersion=3 / targetSdkVersion = 7 in order to support older platforms.
I've made the required drawbles-hdpi / -mdpi - ldpi-v4 folders. Everything is looking great across various AVDs of HVGA/WVGA shapes and sizes.
Everything, except my tabs.
In AVDs running Android 1.5 and 1.6, my tab background colors are appropriate: http://www.shelvesforandroid.com/1p6below.png
However, for platforms running 2.1 and above, something seems to have gone awry:

Notice that the unselected tab color is correct, but the selected tab looks like it's just bleeding the same color as my images.
What can I do to fix this? Enforce the background color to be the same as 1.6-era ?
What is causing this tab color change?
Code...
Can anybody guide me how do I change the background image or color of selected tab?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the AlertDialog class in my application. By default, these alert dialogs have a transparent background. I'm trying to use an opaque background instead, very unsuccessfully.
These are my styles:
CODE:....................
I applied the "MyOpaqueActivity" style successfully for whole activities (the window background is changed to "my_background"), but it doesn't work for alert dialogs within those activities. The "alertDialogStyle" attribute and my "MyOpaqueAlertDialog" style don't seem to have any effect.
So how can I change the background of these alert dialogs?
In my android application i am using progress dialogue in my splashscreen.
I would like to see only the progressbar with loading message without the background.
Is there any way that i can change the background to transparent in android.
