Hey everyone!
I've looked around on the web but I can't seem to be able to find a solid guide on how to mod the notification bar to be a different color or semi transparent.
I know some miui themes exist, but i want to do it manually so i or anyone else stumbling on this thread can apply it to their current rom and theme they have going.
I guess while we're at it, if anyone also knows how to change individual icons on the status bar that would be awesome too.
To my knowledge uot kitchen does not work with transparent/different colored notification bars.
Hopefully someone can shed some light!
(not sure if this is supposed to be here or q/a)

From what i hear its almost impossible unless u are on miui.....ill tell u a few ways to work around it though....u can use multipicture live wallpaper, or if you have adw launcher ex you can turn on high res in settings

hello all, I posted this also in android development under themes but havent gotten a response plus it is for the tattoo so i guess i'll post here as well?
I'm looking for a shaded taskbar or status bar. all in all i would really like to have the top bar where the time, battery, signal, notifications bar shaded plus the pull down menu background shaded to around 50% transparency. I'm currently on [ROM] fyodor FroYo AOSP Tattoo v0.7.2c (Optimized ADWLauncher for QVGA) so it is on 2.2 but i cant seem to find any working mods for this. If anyone knows a simple way to do this (via apk or flash) please let me know! ive been searching for 2 nights to no avail!
PS I found this mod online but i cant seem to get it to work... the file is attached to my other post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765507
thanks in advance
I think that the size of the statusbar in that mod are to high. I can try something. I let you know when it work.

hey guys I am a little confused with making the status bar in froyo 2.2 transparent. Would be great if someone could help me out.
I understand that the file "statusbar_background.9.png" is responsible for the statusbar transparency.
I have 2 questions:
1) Even when I put in a 100% transparent statusbar_background.9.png into my framework-res.apk file, the status bar still shows a shade of rectangle. I've read other posts and they all could successfully implement a 100% transparent status bar without the rectangular shape.
2) This problem did not happen in 2.1. Now, in froyo 2.2, while the status bar is transparent in the lockscreen, it becomes black when I unlock the screen.
or could I be doing something wrong? are there anything to edit in the xml files?
This has to be allowed in services.jar Don't know where in this phone, but it has to be there.
i just rooted my device. then i unstall stock221v13-bugfix-3.
at this time i wanna install themegs.
but i don't know how to install.
do anybody explain particularly??

Which launcher do you use?
For example launcher pro doesn't support a transparent status bar- I used a morph to make it transparent but it just changed to grey- locked its transparent.
I searched a little bit and the problem is launcher pro. It cuts the wallpaper so the back of the status bar is not the wallpaper but the color of the drawer- so it stays black.. or at least grey... I cannot really explain it to you- just google a little bit- it is a well known issue of launcher pro.
Hey guys,
I need help from you!
I've got a rom with cyanogenmod 7 base(mdpi resolution) and i wanted to retheme statusbar, but i won't work, as statusbar won't show :crying:
I wanted to change the following things:
Center Clock
Statusbar blue colored
White Clock/Texts
blue dropdownmenu
Can anyone do that for me, i will give him the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk if he want's to do that, please help, it's for a big project called CloudOS! But i can't run it, (de)compile works and didn't gives errors, but statusbar won't show
Thank you,
Glenn
i am not an experied developer but maybe you forgot to set the permissions of the files...
Sorry for my bad englisch
I didn't do much theming when I was in CM7. I know you can change notification drop-down colour but I don't know about status bar colour and others. Anyway, try theme by TeamCarbon in play store. They are best themers and they mod as much as available.
Yes it can be done. You will have to edit the layout xmls to do it.

I can probably do it, but you have to explain what kind of blue you want. Also if you want any sort of gradients or fading or something
Edit: also, what do you mean with drop down menu, which part of it ?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a CM10.1 or AOKP theme where the only thing that changes from stock is that the status bar icons, specifically signal, battery and wifi are white instead of Holo blue? Either that or a theme that replaces the status bar with MIUI bar icons but maintains the rest of the UI would be great as well. I tried one called HoloWhite, as well as a couple other minimalistic ones, but with those some of the icon styles changed.

Looking for exactly the same thing... Did you guys find anything
I would also like this. Still haven't found anything.......

Also flash the Paranoid android icon zip (page4) if you have trouble with default icons of your rom.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918500
also wondering if anyone has found this. dont want to deal with Xposed or anything like that either....and would prefer to have it in a theme chooser app as I switch ROM's from time to time. If anyone has a stock theme .apk i could modify it, but i just can't find one. the CM10.2 template is completely different from stock.
sorry to bring this back from the dead.
I'm looking for that white icon them too...
Hi, first of all I don't know if this goes in q&a or theme/apps, but here goes:
attached are two screenshots of my current setup. Obviously I'm going with a very stock KitKat theme.
I would like to have a flashlight widget that sort of fits into the theme of this. Semi transparent like the google search bar or something. I know I can use uccw but wondered if anyone knew of a standalone app/widget.
Would also like some sort of battery indicator since I don't like it in the status bar. Maybe something like a simple line across my screen? also following the theme ideally. Don't care to know exact percentage so it doesn't have to have the number with it. jusy something easier to read than my status bar.
I'll also share how I am set up if anyone is interested.
Thank you!

Might try Team Battery Bar for your battery indicator. Download from Play Store. Not sure on the torch widget.
