[Q] How do I take out the time on the notification bar? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I take out the time on the notification bar?
With a widget that has a clock/time on it, the time on the notification bar seems pretty useless.

LOL, with the time in the notification bar, widgets with that info are useless

I'm pretty sure you can not take take that clock out. I think a bunch of the system stuff runs from that clock.
Friends don't let friends flash drunk...

Well I have the TypoClock widget where it shows the time AND date. The notification bar only shows the time (date if you pull down notification bar), but I'd rather have just the widget.

Have you tried using a different Launcher?
Launcher Pro allows you to hide the notification bar.

im running ADW and if i just flick the screen up the status bar goes away, flick it again and it comes back. its pretty cool. i havent tried it with the stock home screen.

[Q] Flashed to 2.1 - but no status bar is showing with ADW

And I can figure out why. It's not hidden and was working fine on the stock home screen.
When I go for notifications, the status bar portion stays blank.
Shows for me but do have it set to hidden. Set, restart ADW, then unset it and restart again and see if that shows it.
try swiping up on screen.
That is for the dock bar. The status bar is always supposed to show unless you hide it.

Swiping up can be set to show or hide the statusbar.
Yeah I would try resetting ADW settings, or just look to see if the status bar is set to hidden.
Restarting ADW did nothing. The Sony Home had the same issue. I restarted the phone a couple of times and the bar seems to be working fine now. I switched the Launcherpro to see if I like it more.

[Q] Is it possible to install these power control widgets?

its available in the market ,Purchased it and did not like it .
i prefer the quicksettings app. Like the interface and also its free
I use this now on my streak. I have no widget just the icon bar sitting in my notification area. It displays what is active and what is not. Only compliant is when I click it it opens up widget and fades the background which is an extra step.. also don't like the transparent notification icon.

Okay, that doesn't sound like the same thing. I have the notification bar power control widgets on my Evo and I can toggle them directly from the notification bar.
Well, I just did a Nandroid of my Streak, maybe I'll install it and see what happens.

Hah, I have just the opposite issue. Fancy Widgets never seems to update properly, but the notification bar is always correct.

find a way to hide status bar completely either through your rom (i know aokp has that option) or find another app that does it. Then, get smart statusbar in the play store. free version does everything that you need but pro has some extra features such as the status bar reappearing when you get a notification.

Showing notification bar shifts everything

When I swipe down to view the notification bar, everything shifts. The whole page shrinks and adds black bars to the side. On the video I watched about Themer, when he swiped down the notification bar smoothly came down ontop of the page. Not sure if I am missing a setting or if that is just how it is.
Screenshot would be nice

In the first image everything is fine.
Second image I swiped down to show notification bar and everything shifts and it adds black bars to the side.
Third image is when I hide the notification bar and somethings are still shifted.
We're working on themes that have the notification bar built in. Right now most of them hide it for a clean look, but you can gesture down to open it temporarily, and gesture up to hide it again

That is what I am doing. But in doing the gesture down to show the notification bar, it shifts the items on the page. I like that it is hidden and the gesture down and up to show/hide it. Just hoping it was a bit smoother and just overlapping on the page instead of shifting everything.

Looking at your screenshots, it looks like you have a modified notification bar. On stock devices, when you gesture down, the notification bar "floats" on top of the theme briefly and does not mess up the alignment. Try restoring your notification bar to stock configuration and you might have better results.
