On the Home screen when you scroll up or down there's a solid color line from where your looking.. is there a way to make that bar transparent to see my background? (so it doesnt cover it)

U have to change the xml code from bgcolor="something" to bgcolor="transparent" in each plugin that gets highlighted with the horizontal bar.

the file is located in \application data\home
and just copy it to the PC and use notepad to edit the xml file
save it then put it back

Post the HS file that u r using & i will make the changes for u. It would take about 10 min. To upload HS file, Save file as i.e. myhomescreen.home.txt & upload in your next post.

Or look in Application data>home for the HS file u are using, copy to desktop, right click> edit, scroll thru xml & look for bgcolor="something" in each plugin and change to bgcolor="transparent".

Do u have a Q9 (c,h,etc.?) cuz I have the regular Q and don't have that file. The only one I have is Windows simple, & I don't think that that is the same 1 u r using. Hence, I can't modify it for u. Either figure out how to copy & upload it to here so I can mod it, or if someone with that HS can upload it so I can change it, then it will be done. If not, No can help!
