I am trying to make my notification shade transparent but I must be missing something. I can't find the tutorial I used but it was pretty basic so I didn't keep it. Here is what I have done:

adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\temp

Once it is download I replace the status_bar_background.png in the res/drawable-hdpi/ with another file exactly the same size (from another rom) I have also used the default file and colored it black and made it transparent

adb push c:\temp\framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot

No matter what the file I put up, it's not transparent. When I replaced it from the other rom even, I know its the right image because it has the little android guy on it but the background isn't transparent.

I would appreciate any help. Or even point me to a GOOD tutorial on how to edit this file for the HTC EVO
