Jake,
If you need to remove the margins - well, remove the margins. They are
in the image, should be easy with any graphics program, preferably you
would make the image itself take a larger portion of the canvas.
Using negative values for padding or margins are, AFAIK, not supported
(which would be another way, if it was possible).
As for transparency, those template backgrounds definitely have
transparency in them. If it's not showing up, perhaps you have other
images or view attributes that get in the way, or it could be that you
saved them with transparency disabled.
Finally, you might want to make a 1x1 background yourself, so it doesn't
have to be scaled at runtime, and that your widget looks more crisp. A
nine-patch drawable would let you share the background between 1x1 and
other sizes.

I suppose that this is more of a graphics question than an Android SDK
question but maybe I can get some help anyway.
I downloaded the 2x1 widget frame from the Developers Guidelines page.
This frame scales to 1x1 without an issue if I set the
minHeight/minWidget parameters accordingly in the providers file.
My problem is that the widget appears to have margins that are getting
in my way and the background is opaque.
How can I remove the margins from that widget (I want to display my text
centered horizontally and vertically but need more display area) and how
do I change the background to make it translucent?
I am working on a Ubuntu VirtualBox and tried working with Gimp but
could not figure anything out.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or, better yet, just point me
to a proper .png that I can use?
Thanks.
