I'm not sure why the default google keyboard isn't transparent for you, but it should be. Not all apps "work" though, and its only slightly transparent right now, based on user feedback. Try MMS first?

Swype came and released the new purchased version, and somehow broke the beta version at the same time, right after I put the theme up. Themed payed Swype is coming in the next update, which I should be posting an RC here tomorrow, because you all deserve it and I feel bad for not doing much lately... Hitting so many road blocks both in both themeing (like phablet contacts, or getting Swiftkey to work) and real life (wife left me last week) has hit me pretty hard.

Good thing I have colored (plus white, for those who don't count it as a color) versions coming.... soooon ish :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
Fantastic news! I'll definitely purchase when those versions become available!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
Sorry for your real life problems :'(

Praying for you - peace and reconciliation.

If/when that white version comes out, it will be clear with white? Sounds like what I'm already using, how will it be different from Hologlass?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
All the blue colors will be turned to white/a color, but same transparent and white bits as are already there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
I'll definitely want the white!

Dude, sorry to hear about your personal life problem. I truly hope things work out best for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Yeah, no Theme chooser, no hologlass. No way around it... XthemeEngine doesnt work with styles.xml, and this theme rather depends on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91franz:
I got error in applying this.. Other themes work fine.. Latest pa..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mabast:
Apply system theme, reboot, and try again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HughesNet:
I do as well but I find I can ignore the error without any trouble. As long as you follow the above of applying the system theme, reboot, apply hologlass, reboot. Then you can ignore that error if it is the same one that I get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Here's my RC; I keep finding weird problems, but I think it's my phone finally dying (like it freaks out when the battery is low, or shows the circleMod battery as charging when it's unplugged, etc)

Anyways, bang away at it and tell me what you find, if anything. If nothing, I'll put it up on the store once it's confirmed :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chayes627:
Just found this theme last night and it is awesome! Can't believe I've been missing out. Anyway bought the donate version already. Keep up the fantastic work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
One thing I want you guys to try with this RC, is really play with the text editing stuff, I'm having weird issues where the screen goes blank except for the keyboard, or in mms the background goes black if you select something you already typed, or even a suggested word while typing. (Note I'm using Swype paid, but I think it also happened with stock)

I'm going to wipe & re flash and see if it fixes the problems first.

Otherwise, this one has the paid Swype themes back, at least
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaibar:
Looks great so far. Are there specific things you need checking if there are problems? So far anything I've looked at seems very nice, including Swype, white holo, etc.

I've seen some other transparent theme in play store (http://bit.ly/1bRaR2e who seems to use similar method like you?) also managed to theme the calculator, Google calendar, playstore, Google Now and cm news& weather widget (I think it's called genie?). Can you try to add some of them?

I don't know how come Google gmail, calendar, playstore and other Google apps are not coming holo themed by default- one would expect Google to be the first ones following holo theming rules- thus they could have been automatically transformed to transparent by your theme?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stiefanu:
All these things happen to me, too. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus with Swype paid, but the strange thing is that these problems happen even with other swype themes (and with stock Google keyboard, too) :D

Sent from my -Galaxy Nexus-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
sadly no, Google's apps tend to be very customized, and is one of the reasons I'm having issues with the contacts app. That being said, it still is possible, I'm just trying to hunt down these other issues and make sure the main part is stable before theming other apps.

Damn, that's what I was afraid of :/

Curses. Anyone else with this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lvishal:
Awesome theme!! Just a few bugs I encountered.

firstly the themes (all that I have tried) don't play well with the new google keyboard. It just has a transparent background and secondly, the animations seem to change when i apply your theme. other than these, the best theme out there.

Btw i'm on cm10.1 official.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josegcampos17:
Nice!!

Hi! I don't speak (write) in English very well but I will do the attempt. This theme is very beautiful! I have some question, I now that holo light theme is coming but holo light with dark action bar too? You will go to convert all Google apps? Because I want that you convert the app weather & news (stock app of Android), it's very useful for me. Thanks a lot and luck with the theme. Greetings from Venezuela! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
My goal is certainly to theme as much as I can. Google's new UI designs are rather unfriendly to the glass style, however, so I'm trying to work around that, but im also trying to fix some odd issues in what IS done before I go and mess more things up.

------

Edit: Well balls; I think the weird issues we're seeing is because I tried to override Theme.Holo.Light and Theme.Holo.LightDarkActionBar. Gha!

Another RC coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DozenMadder:
Funny that Gapps are so unfriendly to the glass style when that it's the direction that Google itself is moving in (hardware-wise). I mean, eventually they will want their apps compatible with their glasses, right?

Pretty sweat Swype keyboard you've got in this last release candidate! I realize there are difficulties but it looks great. I have a suggestion, though, that likely wouldn't cause any additional problems. Instead of two themes both semitransparent grey...one transparent white and one transparent black.

Many thanks for you're diligence. Killer theme. So glad I bought the donate version cause I see the contribution paying off!

So I think I fixed the weird flashing and stuff... but it means we wont be seeing transparent theme.light / darkactionbar stuff anytime soon >.< since removing those overrides is what fixed it. Derpaderpaderp. I also cant get the RC2 onto here cuz its stuck on my work laptop and I'm too lazy to try and fix the wifi issue or find a flashdrive. Tomorrow :D

Perhaps I need to find a new person to help me make a full Rom around this again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LRC1710:
Man I love this theme, I wish it could look exactly like the IDEAL STATE on the OP pictures though, would be awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I'm with you... its just... it needs a whole new level of OS customization... though with a few devs' help I could probably make it happen. I have a good idea of how it would work, just needs a complete overhaul of the main system UI animations, styles, and a new app to store settings and set the background via settings, instead of everything ACTUALLY being transparent. That's the only way I can see the occlusion of transparent over transparent (like the mockup of the QS toggles). It could happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] werkem:
I am running PA with a different DPI, when I go to apply this theme it says

"Sorry this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size"

Does this matter ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
No. Never does. Just apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LRC1710:
By the way the updated Google keyboard isn't themed, hope you can theme or like the old one was, thanks man! Really appreciate the work put in this theme

thanks.

In other news, we hit 20,000 downloads a couple days ago, which is pretty exciting! And still climbing at a steady rate!

I also went and got a new phone, because my Nexus has been acting really strange lately, and the battery was draining crazy fast (wipes didnt fix it). But since it is still working, I can crack flash for supporting lots of roms! Hooray!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerrus:
Yes, he/we are referring to the Google keyboard on the play store. Also what phone did you go with? I'm poised for a new one myself.

Hi mix3d, there's an issue with halo on my rom it closes the app in the background and makes it just the wallpaper.... At first I thought it was the rom but it's not because I changed the theme back to stock and it worked fine.... Can you look into this I also tried it with the RC as the donate version is what I was using before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaibar:
Something similar here- when I open any app that has text input box, it disappears and I see wallpaper. But when I start typing or press any keyboard button (e.g. "back") it comes back to behave normal.

I had donate version, but Installed on top of it the latest rc version from this thread, cm10.1 rom.

Sent from my myTouch 4G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
Ah, yes, the new version you posted here causes the app/keyboard to lock up whenever typing one character.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killchain:
Installed the latest free version. Got the message above after trying to apply it.

Using ParanoidAndroid 3.6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
That happens sometimes when upgrading; try the standard System theme - reboot - try again approach. Works every time.

--------------------------

RC2 Time!

Let me know if this fixes the weird stuff with first RC one... but know that Halo still REALLY messes with things, and I think there is just a fundamental issue with the way they got Halo to work and how android handles the android:windowShowWallpaper attribute
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
If anyone can figure out how to fix it it's you! Keep up the good work dude!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dangabob13:
Google Apps

This is such a great theme but the lack of theming of the google apps really messes everything up. Can we at least get Gmail and Hangouts? BlackedOutThemeX has all the google apps themed and Im running 4.2 so its all the new versions.

I guess i don't want to just come in here and complain. Is there any way that you could look at the APK for Blackedout Theme X?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kitrax59:
A page back, post 903..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dangabob13:
I didn't realize it was an issue with transparency in general in the new Android version. I'm just looking forward to using this theme for everything. Or it would be nice to have the apps that aren't themable fall back on another theme.

What about Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Patience. I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kitrax59:
This will be your alternative while we wait. Start from here then go to their site for transparent apps..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dangabob13:
Well, you definitely pointed me in the right direction. You officially just killed any chances of slumber for me tonight. Ill be theming all the rest tonight. Thanks a bunch!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Wow, that's a great resource. If they're editing smali files, then they're certainly more able to make apps transparent more efficiently than I could through theme chooser. Thanks for the link!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
I think the only way to fix this would be to use a different transparency method in the affected apps. Right now it uses a call to show wallpaper, which shows the full wallpaper, thus covering up the background app. There is a different transparent theme in the play store that continues to render everything underneath, which fixes this issue but is messy and difficult to read. It also caused my phone to reboot a few times and caused lag as it is rendering everything. I don't think that path will work very well.

Mix3d, would it be possible to use the screenshot as background that you use for the transparent keyboard (assuming I am understanding it correctly, although that may have its own set of issues)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
There are two methods for doing app transparency in Android (that I know of so far): WindowShowWallpaper, and windowIsTranslucent.

The latter is what the aforementioned theme uses, and renders everything underneath it, but does not guarantee the wallpaper is what will show beneath nor is it what I used for the keyboard (I just set the background to a transparent value, which will show the wallpaper if the specific app is glass enabled AND uses what I see as one of two ways to draw the keyboard... I butt up against a lot of android things... lol).

istranslucent is most commonly used for doing transparent helper overlays when you first use an app, to explain what certain buttons do.

You cannot really translucent and showWallpaper together (though it won't complain when you compile), but is one of the reasons I had issues during the alpha stage and things would flicker all the time.

Like I've explained before, the new design paradigms of Google mean that there is no way to prevent overlapping elements in many apps, which is what I don't want. I'm going to take a look at the linked transparent apps tho, and see what they did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaibar:
I tried cmtransparent theme from Google play store- he managed to make some Google apps transparent (e.g. calendar, gesture search, google now etc)

But I prefer mix3d's theme because swype keyboard and also because he is very nice :)

If it could be possible to combine the good things of both themes it could be perfect. ..

Any feedback on the RC2 I posted a page back?

Want to get that into the app store, but need your guys' QA stamps :D

Edit: Also, I've finally got a 3.6 PA build on my nexus, and while I havent looked at the github code for Halo yet... My fear is that unless I change the styling from windowShowWallpaper to windowIsTranslucent, it no halo window will properly overlay on top of the existing app. I'll play with it this week, hopefully, around my sister's wedding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
So far no issues that I have found. No flickering or disappearing when typing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billsky83:
Haven't any issue so far, but if you can theme swype to dark glass that will be amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Industrial_chickens:
Looking good so far mate! I'm not seeing the new battery iconn you showedme a while ago. I would be sad to hear you had dropped it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaibar:
RC2 seems fine- haven't noticed any problem. Using swype with night theme is great. Midnight is also nice with dark backgrounds only.

Sent from my myTouch 4G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
What do you mean by theme to dark glass?

Night and midnight themes should be transparent, if that's what you mean...

The nice battery icon should be there, but only on aokp. PA and CM use a fancy programmatically drawn circle battery; I don't know how to override it. Perhaps I need to find a way to make a flashable zip to add to the list of battery choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Industrial_chickens:
Ahh, yeah I am using Cyanogenmod. I really don't like their circle battery. It's to small and hard to see. I loved the one you emailed me. Too bad. If you find a away it would be sweet. Only thing I don't like about his theme!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerrus:
No need to override it, you can merely alter its color to white and keep that icon. That alone would be welcomed. As well as changing the % vertical battery on PA and CM to white :)

When I downloaded the RC's & applied, they immediately rebooted my phone, then I can't tell anything different so I don't know if it even worked. The app in theme chooser looks the same too, don't know if it should change though, as I bought the donate version from play.

I'm on JBSourcery-Sorceress Edition using Fancy kernel 32.

I have no complaints with the theme, BTW, just reporting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
This RC2 is not supposed to be anything noticeable, really, just a lot of small under the hood tweaks and fixes. It will look almost exactly identical to the donate version because I will be uploading it as the next donate update, probably tonight.

If everything looks the same and you didn't notice any issues, then I fixed all the problems and it's good to release. Hooray!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billsky83:
I mean the keyboard for midnight theme is too bright. I found sometimes I had have problem to see candidates. If you can change the colour to a little bit darker it will be better. But the night theme is good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
I think the issue with PA is that the icon colors are dictated via Paranoid Preferences and not a theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Did the CM circle battery not get changed to white? It was supposed to.....

Ah yes, this would definitely do it. You on PA Xerrus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerrus:
Ah yes, the circle is white, however it did what many themes do to the circle battery: shrunk it down to baby size. Not sure how to circumvent that. I was on PA when I first started using this, been on CM nightlies as of late

Thanks for an awesome theme! I really love this.

Just one question: Are you planning on replacing all the blue accents with white? Right now it looks quite inconsistent with some blue here and there when most stuff that used to be ff33b5e5 is now white instead.

How about this for an example?

Appreciate the work!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerrus:
Ahh, but he's not running CM 10.1 in the example shots of his theme. Yes he has a circle battery but one like AOKP uses (the image files that are replaceable that is). CM's circle battery is kind of hardwired I guess you can say? Changing the color is about all you can do to it, changing it's appearance isn't something quite as easy as other ROMs. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Mix3d! I by no means know everything about the inner workings, mine is but a simple and humble knowledge of Android.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Industrial_chickens:

Well, i have to admit, the circle shown does replace the standard battery (which is really nice), but the Cyanogenmod circle is bigger and is white, as well as the percentage. I run cm 10.1.

Try this rom. its based on CM10.1 but with lots of nice extras, like transparent status bar. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797109

There is no way to get transparent status bar (easily) unless the rom supports it.

Give this a go, you can flash it right over CM10.1 . the community in the forum are great as well.

Love this theme. I'd prefer a version that doesn't have the transparent app backgrounds, but hey I can't complain. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonyp:
I'm with you there. I've tried to modify this theme some time back to disable the transparency but keep the rest. Mix3d gave me some leads, but I didn't get it to work fully (had full black and rather than the grey-black backgrounds).

Whenever I'll find some more time I'll continue it. My time got caught up in some other projects.

Of course I won't publicly share it, that would have to be Mix3ds decision. But I could share the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] misterk267:
Awesome! Would you mind sharing what you have? I prefer black backgrounds actually haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Inr trying to find an easy way to make multiple versions of slightly modified themes... unfortunately I don't have a way to do that yet. I'm actually considering writing a python script that works similar to how the new gradle build system works... not sure yet.

If I had one, it'd be easier to do this :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mevordel:
Interestingly, if you set your wallpaper using one of the "No wallpaper" apps on the Play Store or some black image, this theme makes a better inverted theme than most themes I've tried that advertise being blacked out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ITA Wild boar:
Just updated the theme, great! Was wondering if we're far from a "total glass" like the first post or maybe I'm doing something wrong (PA 3.60, quick settings and the "power" menu are with a shaded black background...I feel I'm doing sonething wrong anyway ehegeh congratulations for the theme!!!
