Here is the morph file that I created to change the boring stock charging battery icon.
This updates the battery to a glowing green when being charged.

how too install this? put it on the sdcard and do it in recovery mode as an update?
No, you need to install metamorph.
After installed, place .zip file in your AndroidThemes folder on your phone.
Use metamorph to install.

Hmm... changing the color of text is unfortunately a little bit out of my scope right now... although I would love to learn how to do this.
Maybe someone can come along and help with this?
havent done it but i belive you need to replace an xml file to change text color.
Yes, you have to make changes to some files. Its not so easy. User know- fear has made a great tutorial for this.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

i would also love this option...if for no other reason than to match the rest of the clear themed stuff.
please does anyone know if this is possible
Well i was capable of making it transparent but only when the screen transitions and you can see it is transparent when I pull the taskbar down. I dont know how to get it transparent on the home screen.
Probably could be done the same way you recolor it. Just use a transparent .png file instead of a colored one. Its a good idea, I'd use it.
do you know which file has to be changed i looked but could not find it

I actually tried this and it did not work, just made the task bar black. My theory is that the wallpaper ends at the task bar rather than covering it . If that is true I think you would have to "fake" a clear task bar by making it match your wallpaper. I have done this successfully with solid colors, but it would be harder with a more complicated wallpaper.
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

you're 100% correct. my bad. guess i wanted it too much lol.
yep i just tried to and it was black as well it was cool to see threw the bar when you pull down notifications though
i wonder if it would be possible to edit a xml file somewhere to get the wallpaper to take up the full screen. i just think this would be so cool if i could figure it out
Batnip Status Icons v1.0 (for use with CM5 battery percent status display (Cyanogen MOD 5.0.5)
I made these icons because I didn't like the way that the default CM5.0.5 battery icons worked with the new battery percent status display. I felt that the animation needed to be a little more subtle, due to the fact that we now can just read the numbers given to us instead of determining the remaining battery life by examining a sizable indicator.
Pretty colors do come standard, a few short of a rainbow. These icons are the same height as most of the others, making for a more even view of the notification bar.
I felt like sharing and will use these until someone with real experience comes up with something better. Feedback welcome.
Of course I take no responsibility for any damages done to your device. These icons were developed specifically for Cyanogen MOD 5.0.5, be sure to Nandroid your **** up real tight first.
Thanks to cyanogen as always and canadiancow for making this possible. (writing the code for the battery status display!)

When I posted that, I was only using the black bar mod and since that overwrote cyanogen's, it lost the percentage number so I wanted a black bar based off cm5.0.5 but I'm using NexTheme now anyway so you can ignore me

Sorry I still don't fully understand, hopefully you're happy now. If I can do anything please provide me with a few instructions so that my morph can benefit you in the same way it seems to be benefiting others.

His problem was that he was using a 5.0.4 theme that erased the battery % numbers, once he updated it worked fine.
Just wanted to say this is an amazing morph and I absolutely love it.

BLACK AND WHITE TB MOD
Please visit my site for this, due to limitations of having 2 of the same filename attached.
Here, I have for you, is a mod that is designed to change the icons of your EvDO/1xRTT icons, battery icon, and signal icon. There is a little more work to be done but here is what I have to offer right this moment.
Screenies are attached.
FOR Darch 2.8 ONLY (if you dont have darch 2.8, skip this red step): Unzip the darch28.zip to reveal a framework-res.apk, then continue.
Nandroid backup.
You will need to clear dalvik cache.
Mount your /system in read-write mode.
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Reboot
First boot will take a little longer, dalvik has to be rebuilt.
Full instructions on this page. (Please, if you like my work take a second to visit my site )
reserved for meeeeeeee
reserved for future use.
How many reserves do u need? Lol
Enough to put my work in for different ROMs/Android versions, etc maybe?
accepting requests for graphical mods. Please let me know what you want!

Yup. Gimme a bit. I am gonna release a new version as well for CM6 that makes the signal and battery icons not be so close together.
Those are looking good man. Real good.
Is it possible that you could make a black & white version (mainly the battery icon)? This is sick, but the colors won't fit my theme.
Keep up the good work though, looks solid.

Yeah I thought about making a black and white version. Should go well with the option to be able to change the color of the % of battery left in CM6. Gimme a day or so, I'll knock it out

Sweet man. Just to be sure ... this will only update the icons? Or the entire taskbar? I'm using BlackMod and I don't want to lose the cool Android shade that pops down.

If I was given the framework-res.apk from that specific ROM then it will not change anythign but the icons.
See post #53 for guide. Credit to ghostrida! Awesome work!
This has only been verified to work on DEODEXED ROMs.
NOTICE: THE services.jar MOD ONLY ALLOWS FOR THE BACKGROUND PNG TO SHOW TRANSLUCENCY.
YOU MUST EDIT YOUR OWN status_bar_backgound.png AND MAKE IT TRANSLUCENT AS WELL AS MAKE THE NECESSARY services.jar MOD
This is my 65% black...(PNG is attached)

Here are the files needed for transparent notification drop down not flashable through recovery
So it a different services.jar file
Question: If I am using the custom services.jar that removes the clock will this overwrite it?

Hey sorry for the late reply, but yea, it's the service.jar file.
Thanks guys... working on it now
I dont know why but it leaves squares in the pull down but thats what i found just surfing around in this site.
Ok, so we have 2 services.jar files .... 1 for no clock and 1 for transparent pulldown.
Who do we know here that can merge the two?

Not exactly. Your background image in the tray pull down is full of lines while the background wallpaper is clear.

That's closer, but still not quite it, those lines would drive me nuts. NO offense. But I like the progress being made.
Here is an example of a translucent tray, this is what I mean: (it's a 2.1 MOD of course)
Also, as stated in the OP, I'm not asking for someone to make this MOD for me necessarily. But rather some information of HOW and WHAT to change to make that notification tray background translucent.
The translucent tray is cool if we can figure out how to do it, but what about the notification bar too? That would make a killer combination!

Well if we can figure out how to set translucence, the notification bar will be easy.

the squares are being caused by the actual png. it has white lies around it. i will post a fixed png for ya in a sec.

I'm pretty sure the only way would be by modifying the framework xml files, which would probably make it theme dependent as you would more than likely need to edit some that get compiled into resources.arsc, meaning you need any additions from the theme in your working folder when you compile.
Where's the screenshot from? Looks nice and if you had the framework for it I'd gladly sort out something for the X10.
There may be an app out there that can do this, but I have my doubts.

im quite happy with my current theme, a run down of what to edit would be great
however, ive noticed that the clock seems to be bold on stock android, as you can see on the x10 aosp screens, so is it something se have changed?
