[Q] Black statusbar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I get a totally black statusbar?
Have been looking around, but I cant find out how.
I'm using Foxhound 1.5, which it my favorite, but I hate the transparent statusbar.
When dragging it down, the icons in the back is too visible, which is not how i like it.
Anybody know how to do it or have a link for a mod with a black statusbar?
Thanks

Sorry, my bad
Found it right after I posted it. Got a little confused.
Thanks anyway

[SOLVED]
Ok, so I tried to black out my statusbar,which worked fine on 4.1.1, but now that I'm on 4.1.2 I cant get it to work.
Using Foxhound 1.6 now, and was on 1.4 when everything worked
Have been trying themes from motomoto and raubkatze, but everytime I use a theme that may black out my statusbar I get no theme or SystemUI FCs.
The actual theme and everything else works fine, but the statusbar will not get black.
Has also flashed a theme that contains a black statusbar, but its still transparent
Anyone got a clue?
EDIT: Never mind.. Figured it out!

You need the deodexed version.
Im also working on the stock 3.1 look now ill see how it turns you.
Does this mess up the user agent string mod when you flash it?

Its really easy, they are actually in the zip already, all you have to do is rename the images.

It doesn't.
OP, there's a ~1 pixel tall border that's lighter in color that you can see whenever the screen displays something dark (like the screen where you can select widgets, shortcuts, wallpaper...), can that border be changed to black also? Or did Honeycomb 3.1 have that also?

Stock had a similar look to it, with the gray border if you want me to make you one with all black let me know. Just send me a pm I have the stock look done atm but i don't like how the screen shot icon looks. I should have a stock look up in a few hours.
Works well with my bonsai rom, thanks a lot

Just posted the stock Theme with Touchwiz Its here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16267517#post16267517
FYI it works with the deoxed xxkg8 perfectly. Thanks!
Sent from the best phone on the planet (SGS2) running the best ROM on the planet (Cognition S2)!
OP, the issue with a gray background behind icons extends to icons other than debugging. Right now, my notification bar icons for CopyPasteIt (clipboard icon) and Google Music Beta (headphones icon) both have gray backgrounds on the black bar.
Isn't there a way to make any and all icons show black backgrounds?? There's no way you can keep up with every single icon and keep editing to fix the issue..there are unlimited icons that may show up there for apps..
Is it possible to eliminate this issue for all icons?
The icon pack is about half done I am at work right now so Ill do more when i get home, but should be done soon.
thanks for this significant work. the original grey bar really is annoying.

Thank You for the effort mate! i had this trouble back in the HD2 Days!
Only a live wallpaper would fit behind the bar! and had to find and edit the pngs to stop the date overlaping in the top corner! when you draged down the notifications.
Thanks Again!

ICZen Replace Green Color

I want to change the default green to the stock blue color because it doesn't put me in a good mood and the black background for messaging makes it seem like I'm in a DOS or IRC chat. It's the reason I wanted to keep using ICS Passion, but the clock freezes randomly for me so I chose ICZen instead. I found a stock blue theme made for ICZen v1.7, but newest is ICZen v1.85.
Is it safe to flash that stock blue v1.7 theme?
Is there another way to change colors rather than Galaxy S Settings>Color Tuning? The color tuning doesn't seem to give it a normal color change.
u cant flash different themes for different rom version ........i did once and ended in bootloop .....if u want blue then install this from playstore and apply in theme chooser ....i used it its nice

That one doesn't work properly with ICZen. Thanks anyway.

which one dint work? i used it for nearly 1 month on iczen 1.8.5.........if ur apps are inverted then no one can do any help .........remove them and install normal apks then use the theme ........try searching minimal ics in playstore that one also works
Not all the colors changed and messaging still has a black background, which is one of the main things I want to change.

that's what I'm saying those are inverted apps which won't change colour when u use theme ...........why can't u install 1.8.4 and for this version u have a ics blue theme which u can flash ............ rootzwiki.com/topic/28762-jelly-bean-theme-184-pink-or-blue-flavor-deficient-development/
Its says it's for 1.8.4 instead of 1.8.5, would that matter?
EDIT: Nvm, it does matter. I guess I'll stick with Theme Chooser and apk.
flash 1.8.4 iczen first after that flash theme .........if u flash that theme on 1.8.5 then it causes bootloop .....no much difference is there between 1.8.5 and 1.8.4

I've been meaning to compile a stock blue theme .apk for quite some time, but I always put it off due to school work, etc, etc.
However, in the meantime, I believe this theme should somewhat fix your blue cravings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716919. It's free and compatible with ICZen.

I installed it and it seems to be missing some colors such as the phone icon, power control widget, bottom scroll bar, and corner outlines for the widget previews. I liked the stock camera icon with the purple lens and blue web browser icon and blue people icon, but I think I am asking for too much haha. I will just switch around some icons and remove some widgets for now. Anyway, I look forward to testing your theme out whenever you get to it. Thanks a lot.

[Theme] Quick Settings Theme for Hyperdrive 20

Here's a theme for the quick settings toggles in the notification panel.
I thought the grey color toggles with the yellow icons was just flat out ugly. So I made a theme to combat that.
It also fixes the battery, torch, camera and tweaks toggle to look more uniform.
Credit goes to @sbreen for an awesome ROM, and all of the guys on the Villain ROM Team for their amazing script to install themes without decompiling/compiling apks.
I used Wanam to achieve the background color, as I didn't feel like searching for the correct files to change the color (I know...I'm lazy).
The color code to match is #00bcd4.
Download:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mohirl91z7u5890/ATGquick_settings_cyan_fix.zip?dl=0
Will this be ok for HD 19? I had some issues with 20.
Not sure, but I would think that you would be ok. I never ran 19 but I don't think, as far as quick settings are concerned, anything changed. The worst that would happen is, if there are toggles in 20 that aren't in 19 (which I doubt), they wouldn't get changed. Try it. And let me know. If it doesn't work I can make it work.
Yep, works perfectly. Thank you, finally don't have to look at that ugly bright green anymore.
Ooo..I like the transparent bg with my theme..cool. I'm glad it worked!
Me too! I had that bg before I installed your theme and it coincidently matches quite well. My OCD is finally content, cheers! ?
Cant download the file, says bad link?
Can anyone repost zip please?

Nova launched navigation background color

Anyone found a way to make it black or transparent or anything but white after the latest firmware update? I really hate the change and can't seem to find a solution. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

I have not gotten the latest update just yet, but I've heard about it, have you tried something like Navbar Apps?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
Yep it worked wonders before the update, but not on the home screen anymore. It still works in apps, but you need to set it to just before black. If it's black, it fails for some reason.

So am I understanding this correctly, it is no longer transparent on the homescreen?
Sadly no. It's white'ish . ?
Hmm, is the only apps you have installed being able to modify the navbar, navbar apps?
I read about the update, and to my understanding, the only big thing the changed was not letting users pick black, and immesive mode.
But thats shouldn't change the transparency of the navbar.. Actually you can't even change the transparency in the settings..

This has a fix if you're not opposed to a theme.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-dark-default-t3597615
I have the german version, there is a point in settings:
- dock, dockhintergrund, Transparenz
which works fine.
should be - dock, background, transparency - in your version?
