Root [Shaded/transparent status bar] for 8/1 froyo leak

I've taken the liberty of creating a ~50% shaded status bar as well as a fully transparent one. This has been compiled with Jercik's Smooth Sense icons and Xeudoxus' shaded notifcation background, of which i obviously take no credit for either of those modifications and would also like to thank both of them for their creations. I believe everyone should give them a hearty thank you as well.

As with anything, do a nandroid just in case something goes wrong.
Anyways, here's a few shots of the bars:

some light bugs:
after installing the zip and booting up for first time, widgets may be doubled over themselves. just remove them and put them back up again, issue is fixed.
when debugging is enabled, upon connecting to pc through usb, weather info on the stock weather widget will disappear. just flick to a different homescreen and back, it will fix.

If any other bugs are found, please post it so i can see if i can fix it.

I'm gonna guess it's ok to flash over already installed smooth sense and no loc?

By the way, NICE! When everyone started working on this the other day I was mentioning that the transparent status bar would be awesome.
I swear....ask and you shall recieve around here!

yea it can be installed over both of those. at first the no location wasnt available, i just added it in earlier and im updating the links right now.

Well I bit the bullet and installed on SkyRaider 2.0.1 Sense. Everything seems to be working fine. I wished you would have stated though that you added your Espresso Sense Launcher No big deal.

Also is there a way to revert with out using nandroid? ie another zip that returns things back to normal?

Thanks

LOL noob move on my part. i added in com.htc.resources.apk later, but used the wrong one. just replaced the files, now has stock sense dock. as for reverting, i can post up the stock framework and htc resources apks from the 8/01 leak and you can adb push those if youd like.

First glitch is when you are in Gmail with the transparent patch applied everything is white on white.

not sure about this, my guess would be it has to do with skyraider. all those that used this with the standard leak releases havent had this issue.
