[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:
Wanted to see if someone could help me with this...

I am trying to center my status bar clock, but also have it "disappear" when I get a notification. Just like it does normally. I have the clock centered, but when a notification pops up, only the battery, signal bars, etc. disappear, and the notification text is overlapped on top of the clock. Below is the my current tw_stats_bar.xml (center clock in bold/red):

I have also tried adding android:id="@id/icons as follows, but this results in the clock being centered and disappearing like it should, but all other icons on the right side (signal bars, battery, etc.) not disappearing, and thus they are overlapped with the notification text. :mad:

<LinearLayout [B][COLOR="Red"]android:id="@id/icons[/COLOR][/B] android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>

Thanks for your help.
