What's up all. Looking for someone to help out on this.
I've been trying to find a way to make the status bar semi-transparent. (not notification bar) Is there a way to flash a zip file and have the status bar transparent or half way so the wallpaper is showing. This will make the screen look bigger and the over look on sense themes will be sweet.
I'm using the mannup revolution theme that comes with redemption rom.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It would be awesome if someone could make a standalone zip (the one in the post includes the round battery indicator) with just the transparency
Lots of transparency mods don't include transparency on the item backgrounds, and that one does. Pretty awesome

Thanks for the help guys!!! This will get me started. I tried flashing the the transparent bar over Redemption rom with the incredible revolution theme and the bar was only transparent when the phone was in lock. After I unlock the phone it went back to the black status bar. Might have been because I removed rosie to only use launchepro. I'll mess around with this and post if I get anywhere.
I'm surprised there are not more themes with an option for the semi-transparent status bar. Even the semi status bar when phone is locked looked awsome.
If any one has any other ideas, please post them. Thanks!!!
It only fully works when using the sense launcher.
I would use it, but it removes any rosie mods (such as the manup sexy rosie skin) when applied so i haven't been able to use it lately.
Yeah same here. I wish it was as simple as flashing a zip to change the script in a current theme framework.

Privet,its in services.jar file its simple to mod but i dint know what line it is that makes it transparent.The mod you have becomes clear with lwp's also.
I've been messing with this for a while, I've got mine transparent, but it turns out launcher pro doesn't support the transparencies. As soon as I install launcher pro it goes solid black.
really? i didnt think launcher pro had any affect on the notifications bar
Yeah I had the same issue. I'm using the redmptive rom now with the matted blues theme. I edited the theme to have the transparent bar and decided not to use launcher pro anymore.

Do it through ninja morph... worked for me. Only issue is that all of the notifications for battery and signal have black backgrounds that you'll have to fix as well.
Has anyone made/willing to make a transparent status bar with stock DX icons and all that for the X? I think that would look really bad ass!
Would donate!
I've been asking this too. I would love to see it with the clock removed or made black....I have beautiful clock on my home screen so really no use for it in taskbar.
+1 for me.
im making one, ill post a new thread, should be up soon
Sweet!
I definitely plan on donating!
New threads up! its my first theme, so leave feedback there
As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!
Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>
I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?
I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.
I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?
+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.
i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw
I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.
Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

About Kspec Oreo:
Oreo started out as a theme on the G1, it was a combination of graphics from the Hero and the oPhone. Over time it has evolved into many different shapes, but the basic idea is a theme that is black, blue, white, and sometimes green but using all original icons. Above anything else, this theme is for usability, its easy to see, easy to read, and looks like a default theme.

This looks NICE and CLEAN! IMHO, you don't need the all-green status bar icons.

I agree.
It's nice to see someone doing a theme for Fresh, most of them now are for Mik, Wyn's, or CM7. Also, I prefer the more matted look as opposed to the glossy stuff you see on a lot of themes. I'm currently using your Gingerbread style although I'm gonna flash this and see which I like more. I think it would look good with this, the way it is, the Gingerbread notification bar, and a clear launcher or a Gingerbread style launcher.
Edit: Also, and this is just a suggestion, it might be a better idea to have all your themes in one thread to make everything easier to find and so that stuff doesn't end up getting buried.
Very nice, looks good!
I updated the OP to try and give you guys better understanding on what options I have available for themes. I will do my best to make whatever you guys want so please just ask.
nice been looking for something like this for a while. you just flash through recovery right?
This is awesome. Thanks a lot!

Nice, have you thought of changing the other icons like mount, and 4G?
Can you also add in the black bar screen which is more consistent with the espresso launcher and also add green highlights to the espresso launcher to make the theme more consistent.
Here is a link to the resource file that has those two mods and are already fresh 3.5 compatible.

finally! i've been dying for this!
donate link in your sig isn't working for me
Donation link should be fixed. I usually dont get any so I have no idea how long that link was down. lol
Anyways, ya, I have about 10+ themes for CM to Sense and in all different styles, I used to make them for the community but people stopped following and downloading so I stopped posting them.
* IN THE WORKS * Since it sounds like there are a few requests for it, how about all gingerbread icons while leaving most of the colors the green and black of sense. So icons like usb, adb, vibrate, will all be gingerbread, and I will see what I can do about some custom 4G icons to match. Finally I will play with that link Ph33zy posted so see about cleaning up the cololrs.
Thanks man...can't wait!
Amazing work! Thanks so much I've been looking for something like this for fresh! Is there anyway you can also include the gingerbread style loading animation and darker style? I'll pm you the link to give you an example since I don't have enough posts to post it!
I just posted a new version, it will have a bunch more of the Gingerbread icons and the sense bar will now be green when pressed.

Does this version incorporate the black bar lock or is it still the default sense lock? Thanks for your hard work btw...
This is for Fresh only right?
well i guess this version doesn't have the black bar lock, but its pretty damn awesome still...
I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. You mean the lock bar you slide down to unlock your phone correct? And is so do you have a screenshot just so I know what you are expecting?
And yes this is made for Fresh 3.5.0.1
is this only for the fresh rom? or can the theme be use with others too?

Yes, the black bar lock is the slide down to unlock bar. Here is a picture of it (although I think this screenshot is of a WM6.5 device, but its really similar). I think it matches better with the expresso launcher than the stock sense lock (but just my opinion I guess).
It should've been in the resource file that I attached for you earlier (that you used to make the green highlights in rosie). Here is a link to the Fresh 3.5 black bar lock thread (although there is no picture in the thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948635
and more specifically, the post that incorporates the black bar lock w/ green highlights on rosie:

BTW, just started playing more with my phone after flashing your icons and I think I like it better without all the blue elements. Do you think you could do a version with just the GB notification bar? I also noticed that the SMS GB icon is missing as well.

I looked at them side by side and it appears the difference is the transparency on the GB version. Either way they have been added.
