I’ve had this grey line here for as long as I’ve been using HW. I just played with it again today, and I can’t seem to get rid of it.
All of the button images are PNG files. It doesn’t matter if they’re hosted by DropBox or pulled locally from photos. The house, the lock, and the temperature icon are all transparent PNGs. The light bulb is transparent at the bottom and at the top. The background color is set to black.
If I edit the screen, I find the grey line is definitely contained within the bottom right (temperature) icon. I’ve opened up the image, deleted everything in it, resized it, recolored it… I’ve used the HW interface to change it from “size to fit” to “small,” and the line won’t go away.
This is really the only thing that’s keeping me from improving the look of my Home screen. If I upload a background image, that line is still there. Any thoughts?
Alright, now this is just irritating…
I’ve recreated the image from scratch. New file. I’ve tried both PNG and GIF. My plan was to create an entirely new control screen with the new image, and just replace the old one to get rid of the line. But I can’t do that, because when I enter the properties for the new control screen button, the iPhone carrier signal, time, icons and battery life are superimposed over the HW menu bar, and I can’t actually save any changes because the “save” button is sitting behind the iPhone’s status bar. Even if I could, it appears as if the line would be there again anyway. This being a new file/type and a new control screen button, I’m completely at a loss as to how I might design a home screen that doesn’t have a grey line in it.
Try setting the background of the button with the grey line to transparent.
Ohhh… that works. Or, setting “Transparency (button)” to 0.00 works. I can’t actually select “transparent” as a background, like all of the others. Phew… well, thanks. That line has been there for as long as I’ve been using this app.
Do you know what’s going on with the status bar? If I wanted to add an image/icon to a new control screen right now, I wouldn’t be able to do it. In fact, I can’t add a background image because the status bar for HW is sitting behind the iPhone status bar.
