Tek, sorry to bother you, but I'm trying to use your second method with the 9 patch. I have myself a 9 patch and it is in my drawable/ mywindow.9.png I added that as a background to my root node in layout/main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="294dp" android:layout_height="72dp" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="@drawable/mywindow"> But now i still have the ugly title bar at the top, which I just want to remove, and how can I change the vertical alignment to be in the middle of the screen?
