Does any one know how to make the Launcher background completely transparent so that the icons pop up over the the wallpaper. I think it would look nicer then that smoked out gray with the slight transparency.
bump
i would like to see this aswell. i was hoping the launcher was listed in the applications section but no go there... i wonder if its built into the luna sysmgr?
/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher#
ok i looked that the launcher.css and scrim.png apears to be the grey overlay we are getting. i removed the line referencing that file and refreshed my launcher... nothing, renamed the file... refreshed launcher... nothing.
Rebooting....
ok with a reboot i have a clear launcher
however there is a small gray transparency at the bottom... going to try and remove that then will post an update

[CODE]
cd /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/stylesheets
vi launcher.css
comment out the following background lines by adding /* to the beginning and */ to the end of the line
Under .root {
background: url(../images/scrim.png)
Under .launcher_fade_bottom {
background: url(../images/launcher-page-fade-bottom.png)
Under .launcher_fade_top {
background: url(../images/launcher-page-fade-top.png)
[/CODE]
save and reboot
cd /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/stylesheets
vi launcher.css

Under .root {
background: url(../images/scrim.png)
Under .launcher_fade_bottom {

Under .launcher_fade_top {
background: url(../images/launcher-page-fade-top.png)
[/CODE]
save and reboot
and great idea BTW... looks sooo much better
Wow!
AWESOME!
I LOVE the way it looks!
Personally, I would've preferred a MUCH lighter transparency... but this is pretty cool too...
maybe someone can make an app that has a slider so you can pick the level, and each level that you pick, links the to a different function in launcher.css?
Hmmmmmmmmm...
If only I was good at coding... : /
I can make the app easily... I just can't get it to link up to launcher.css...
anyone wanna help me do that?

all you have to do is replace the png files with moded versions with a lighter transparency.
you could even change the colors... i may play with them :/

how do I access the luna sysmgr?
I am like a sponge right now learning all these cool tricks.

Yeah you can replace the png files, but if you have an app that will do this dynamically, I think having a pile of png files and just switching with function is called would be easiest... just imho...all you have to do is replace the png files with moded versions with a lighter transparency.

*shrug*
well yes... i agree, but in the meantime 
Doesn't the Pre support CSS3? If so, you can use background-color RGBA, so instead of a background image, you use the tag background-color: rgba(0,0,0,X) where X is the opacity (1, .75, .5, .25, 0) etc. Easier to dynamically change, and has the added benefit of the color being changeable. So you could make a semi-transparent blue background or whatever. That's, of course, assuming the Pre supports it...
Also... is it possible for apps to change things in the luna sysmgr?
is there a thread that can help me understand all thats going on. Im not computer illiterate, i just need something to start from...any help guys?
cool, anyone want to share a screenshot?
i would like to be able to do this w/o rooting my phone ; ;
just did it...
tbh i think its fugly and i immediately changed it back but whatever you guys like..

yeah I changed it back too... it's too... weird... I dunno... I prefer the original one... although... as I stated earlier, i'd like the transparency to be selectable. That would be nice. We'll see if that ever gets done.
It looks nice but... I like the original way better.

I made the original images a blue tint and I think it's pretty cool. Here they are for anyone interested.
