the biggest thing i want to know with home++ is does it allow me to keep my live wallpapers?
If you want to change your status bar and not have to install any alternatives, then you will need to edit framework-res.apk.
For all the status bar icons, look for framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/stat_xxxx.png and framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_xxx.9.png.
All of the .9.png's will need to have guidelines added to them after editing them, and they will need to be compiled in eclipse.

It all depends on which images your are editing. I think that most of the status bar images should be fine as long as you keep them simple since android will just be stretching that image. Like a solid color or a simple vertical gradient should work. You have to worry more about editing/compiling them once you start to mess with buttons and widgets layouts.
How do you change the color of the text in the status bar (eg. the time) ?
i too would like to know this
So I suppose there's no simple way
to double the status bar size then?
(+ all icons size equally doubled)
Grateful for all input...

Hi there!
I love my HD2 and I wouldn't change it to anything else. But there's one thing that drives me crazy when I look at the homescreen. It's the Sense 2.5 default slider icons.
Does anyone know where can I find the original slider icons (icons+slider background) from TouchFlo3D from Blackstone or any other VGA/WVGA device? I'm trying to find it, but all I have is some modified versions. I'd really love to have good old TF3D slider... Please, help me with that or at least tell me what to enter in the search engine (I've tried slider / icon / iconset / default / manila / stock etc. in every possible combination - I get tousands of threads and posts and no answer).
I'm sure, that the original PNG files for the icons are somewhere there, but I simply can't manage to look through all these thousands of posts that i find and the search doesn't help at all.
If someone provides me with the link to these icons I will make a package with only a slider using HDWall and put it here for other users like me trying to find it...
Or maybe there are some ready manila files to put straight to the /windows folder to overwrite the default Sense 2.5 icons? If anyone seen that, please, provide the link.
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and please, don't say anything like "why don't you try GTX or Dusk or sth". I tested it already, but I just want the old slider, not the full theme...

I opened up the GTX theme and have taken all the slider files from there...
Normally it should cover everything...

Does anyone know where I can find custom 3G icons? I've been able to find battery icons, but not any other top bar icons.

There's a couple on XDA forums.
Okay without being an ass, best bet it to search through other phone themes and roms and take the stat_sys.pngs out of the frameworkres.apk and paste them over to your framework.

Hello,
Is there a way to change the status bar to a transparant one without having to flash some kind of tweaks?
I kina like my phone setup as it is right now (VI401 with nova prime) and have a hidden toggle to hide the statusbar on my homescreen.
The bar stay's visible at the lockscreen, whilst the info is verry handy, the black bar covers some of my wallpaper, and i don't like it this way.
Would it be possible to change the PNG file(s) with a transparant one at some location? Where would that/these locations be?
I'n quit new to android, and have no developpers skills. Finding correct dirs and making my own PNG files is no pob for me.
Cheers,
adam
