[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ssojyeti2:
When I add the status_bar_background to the ticker to fix the overlap problem, on first boot after flashing, the status_bar_background covers the status bar (hiding all other icons) until a message is received, after which it finally disappears. After that it works correctly but I'm wondering if that bug is fixable?

Here is my code if you would like to have a look at it:

In case you weren't sure what I meant, here is what my status bar looks like on first boot, until I receive a notification:

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
