How can I make the bottom toolbar transparent? (transcluent as it is called?)

More info georgios what plugin do you want to show a translucent toolbar

I don't use a specific plugin for the toolbar...I use the tabbed layout, but there isn't an option for a transcluent bar...I saw that option under theme settings but it doesn't work

Do you mean the tab bar or the toolbar?

definitely two different animals there. The tab bar is a view controller unto itself, and the main "window" you see when you load a screen is set to bump up against it, not go behind it. You'd need to come up with a whole new approach if you want a semi-transparent tab bar. Probably wouldn't be a UITabBar control.

I'm refering to the bottom toolbar, ( usually with the one with home button, settings etc!)...sorry for the misunderstanding...can anything be done to solve my problem?

That's the tab bar - pretty hard to make it a semi-transparent overlay unless you really know what you're doing.

Making it transparent is one line of code add this to line 55 in the btTabbarcontroller.m [[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0.2]]; you can test this by changing the color of each background screen the problem you have is that the ui view is automatically placed above a tab bar so you wont get anything dragged through it. If you change alpha to 0.0 it will be completely transparent see what you can do

thank you guys... kitsy thank you for sharing these lines...I'll try and give you the results

U might try looking at the BT_viewController.m and BT_viewControllerManager.m files. There may be a setting to extend the views down by the height of a tabbar. Otherwise you'll be making adjustments to every plugin you use to set frame heights of self.view

problem still exists…I'm afraid I can't do it totally transparent so it doesn't affect my background from the xib button menu plugin

You could always turn off tabs and create one (or a mock one) and paste the code on each plugin.

thanks chris for the idea but unfortunately I'm not too familiar with code… :(
