Actually, I am pretty sure that it is a 9-patch drawable, since the name
widget_frame.9.png.
Here is a(nother) dumb question: what app can I use to do this editing.
I didn't see anything in Gimp (using Ubuntu) that would allow me to set
or modify any margins. Nor did I see anything about transparency.
Looking again at Widget Design Guidelines page I see that they posted
size-specific .psd files. If that's the case, it means that it is NOT
where I got my widget_frame 9-patch.

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