I don't quite understand what you been by the resolution is off. Can you elaborate?
The rounded corners are intentional.
Another thing I noticed, not a big deal, just something I noticed is that in the App Drawer, if the text is too long for some one-word app titles, it displays a little funny or cuts off. I don't know if other ROMs or stock did this, I cant remember.
Examples:
Juicedefende
r
Droid X
Bootstrappe
HistoryErase
r
Minisquadro
n!

Yeah, I'm actually modifying that to use the real stock sliders
I think I have it figured out now, actually 
Fab - I didn't have any issues with this ROM until I tried putting NexTheme over it. GMail is FCing on me now.I love NexTheme but GMail is kind of important. Does something in the theme need to be updated?
Yeah, that's because I took Gmail out of this ROM, since it is available in the market. You then downloaded it and it's on /data
Flashing NexTheme put a copy back on /system
Best to wait for an update that's compatible with this ROM, or, just delete Gmail.apk from the theme file first before flashing it.

I have had this problem with a few other themes and ROM's thanks for the great piece of info.
Hey, I learned a lot of new stuff today!
But this is going to be done tonight, the first slider is already done
Thumbs up man!
This ROM is coming together rather nicely.
Now about that damn little notification bar bug...
LOL
BTW, I don't know what it is about that bug in the notification bar but on the XDA thread, they have the same OG bar but black and it has that same bug, just not quite as noticeable since it's black.

This happens because the notification bar is a .9.png, and it is dynamically stretched.
So when the shade is pulled down, the date gets its own "copy" of the bar, as the date changes lengths too (depending on month and day).
I don't know how to get around this without further framework modification (my guess at how it doesn't do this in CyanogenMod). So there's two options really:
1. have rounded edges and deal with this bug
2. go back to squared off edges and it still does the same thing, but since the edges match, you can't notice it

Thanks for the heads up. I was always kinda wondering why this particular type of status bar did it. As far as the options go, it's your ROM so whatever you decide to do is fine here.

Any chance this slider is smoother/less laggy than the original DX one?

What does everyone think of the name Clarity for the ROM? Kinda the opposite of Blur
Anyways, I'm finished porting over the stock Android lock screen. It was kinda annoying, but I learned a lot, so it was worth it!
Oh, we also had to say bye-bye to the rounded corners Oh well.
This'll be exclusive to this ROM for a few days, but I will make a MM shortly with the image files to use on ANY other ROM/theme (it will only replace the slider images - the advantage of MM over .zip).
Anyways, gonna optipng and zip-align and hopefully have a 2nd beta version ready tonight.

Yes, though they may install back additional apps (like Blur and market ones)
You should at least delete all the market apps from the theme file, or install the theme before letting your phone auto sync those apps back from the market.

Yeah, the name is something I'll worry about on another day. Maybe I'll attack it from another angle, rather than Blurless, it can be like the Fundamental or something
Anyways, give Beta 2 a try - available in the first post.
If you already have the first beta installed, you shouldn't need to wipe data or cache (I never did in all my testing).
