Is it possible to get a black notification bar on the froyo rom yet?
No. Not now. FroYo has not "deodexed" files.
When FroYo comes to AOSP, it will be "deodexed" and then we can get it.
It is so: You can change with metamorph every single png in your ROM. Thats possible with FroYo, but then you have a black clock on a black statusbar.
If you wanna do that, click on my "Desire Statusbar" in my signature and download the version for cyanogens ROM.
But then it's black on black.
OK Thanks, thats what I thought but figured it was worth asking cause a few threads I read people flashing a desire/black bar and they did not mention its black on black...
Thanks for the information
you could also use GrayBarFroYo as a temporary solution until froyo AOSP is released and we could change font colors in the status bar.
i use a black background. i guess there is no transparent status bar working for froyo yet, is there? even if so, i guess my clock would then blend in with my black background and not be visible. hmmm. i want froyo but waiting for a way to get rid of that white status bar!

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...

Before you say anything, yes, I DID A SEARCH. What I'm looking for is a white vanilla taskbar with all the vanilla icons. That's it, no rosie or lockscreen or any mods. Just the vanilla taskbar. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

What rom do you use? And what lockscreen do you use?
Because some of the icons that the task bar uses is inside the same thing that the lockscreen uses. (im pretty sure) So when changing the taskbar, it will change your lockscreen. All the other stuff is simple, just delete rosie.apk and dialer.apk and so on and rezip the file.
What about this one.. and just delete the rosie.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5023390&postcount=8
not if you just change the png.

It would have to be a MetaMorph then, as the taskbar elements are spread across the same files that contain the rosie and the vanilla lockscreen elements.
Why not just take an existing one and replace the roise and lockscreen graphics with the ones you want?

It wouldnt look right, the icons are big black boxes that blend with the taskbar. Make it white and you have big black box icons with a white taskbar. And you would have to change the color of the time.

No, it changes only the background images. No icons or anything else.
You have to switch the textcolor to white (or any other color you like) with CM Settings.

Weird, so am I, but when you pull down the notification bar I'm still getting black text. I coulda sworn it was white before flashing the carbon stuff.
NM, fixed. The enom desire bar I was using had black text on the white pulldown bar, which did not work with this morph (black text on a carbon background). I just brightened up the status_bar_item_background_normal.9 and the pressed version in photoshop and everything worked out. If it's okay with the OP, I can post it up for those who can't modify color values of text (like me, hah).
OP says ok, so here's the updated Carbon.zip for people who don't have white text in the pulldown notification menu:

I'm not a developer or even close to one, but I messed around with some of the files from Smooth or something like that and was able to get a transparent notification bar and added an Android logo to it as well. It works with LP also. The only thing is that you have to hide the notification bar, then show it back to make it work. Not the greatest, but it worked for me. Needs to be flashed. Maybe someone can tweak it some more...

Do you think its possible just make the clear bar and thats it??
I was able to achieve the clear notification bar by using this link for the Super Circle battery mod. (I still can't post links so just google it.) The site is for the battery mod along with a few others, such as the clear notification bar. I had no hand in making the tool, or site, at all. The only problem for me is I too still have the black around the signal icon and a few others. I added the transparency to the icons but no luck. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the subject.

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.
