I must say Weldmonkey, that's a marvelous idea.

And I speak for many of us I believe when I say thank you very much for the time and effort you've put into this to help not only up and coming developers, but also intermediate and perhaps even "advanced" developers alike.

A very thoughtful and welcome gift. Nicely done.

WM really is a great guy, trustworthy and someone I've used before for help as well. He's a great resource, and anyone who is looking to get serious about theme making should consider these options.

That being said, WM, if you figure out this transparent lock screen wallpaper then you can add another premium tutorial
