How To: Turn the Multi-Window Menu Transparent on Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2

One of the features on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that has created quite a bit of buzz is Multi Window, which adds split-screen functionality and allows you to simultaneously task through two applications. This feature can be toggled through a menu that appears on one side of the screen and only works with a few selected applications (unless you mod your Note 2).

Thanks to a new hack from XDA Developers, you can now turn the Multi Window task menu transparent, so you can still see what's under it when switching applications.

Here is a brief version of how it's done:

• Download the files from XDA Developers user kest874.
• Copy file to your phone's internal storage.
• Boot into CWM Recovery by simultaneously holding Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. The device should boot in a few seconds.
• Make a Nandroid backup of existing ROM.
• Choose Install Zip from SDcard, Choose Zip from SDcard, scroll down and select MultiWindowTheme.zip file.
• Reboot system.
• Multi Window menu will be transparent and should look like the menu in the picture below.
