I've taken the liberty of creating a ~50% shaded status bar as well as a fully transparent one. This has been compiled with Jercik's Smooth Sense icons and Xeudoxus' shaded notifcation background, of which i obviously take no credit for either of those modifications and would also like to thank both of them for their creations. I believe everyone should give them a hearty thank you as well.
EDIT: BIG thanks to yojoe600 for the edited services.jar with no location AND transparent status background. all zips have been updated with it, meaning no more location icon in status bar.
As with anything, do a nandroid just in case something goes wrong.
Anyways, here's a few shots of the bars:

some light bugs:
after installing the zip and booting up for first time, widgets may be doubled over themselves. just remove them and put them back up again, issue is fixed.
when debugging is enabled, upon connecting to pc through usb, weather info on the stock weather widget will disappear. just flick to a different homescreen and back, it will fix.
If any other bugs are found, please post it so i can see if i can fix it.

Well done! Quick question. Is the notification text color white? Example: "charge only" "usb debugging" on going apps etc.
would love to try this, but mediafire isn't letting me download it.
Great job!! Looks great and I experienced none of the "bugs" you mentioned.
mediafire links do not work.

Yea text is still white. I think the text color is handled by a .jar file or xml, which i dont know how to edit yet. But im getting ready to learn java development so hopefully soon i will.
Good to hear you guys arent experiencing the bugs i did.
Thanks!
Links were not working this morning.
Appreciate it!!!
Is it possible to compile this with the smooth sense icons/ round battery indicator? I'd do it myself but I don't know how.
good stuff!

Um... "This has been compiled with Jercik's Smooth Sense icons" or were you referring to something else?
Question
I do not want the batteries and some of the other stuff. Can you tell me which files were edited so I can include them in my own theme? Thanks for the help.
Ps Looks good. Good job.

Cant remember off the top of my head which ones were edited, not at my computer atm but ill let you know when i get on it in a couple hours.
As for adding the super round battery, ill compile that as well when i get home.
the png for status bar editing is statusbar_background.png.
links are up for super circle battery version (green).
Let me know if any of the other colors were desired.
Can you edit this to hide the location notification up top? When i flash this it comes back.

yea, i tried flashing the noloc.zip over this, but the shaded notification background (the background for when you pull down the status bar, not the bar itself) is a services.jar edit which is packed in with this zip. unfortunately the no location mod is also a services.jar edit, meaning one will replace the other when flashed. and i dont know how to edit .jars yet, so i could ask pmf if he'd be willing to show me what he edited in the .jar to remove the icon and see if i could add it in as well. i'll let you know when/if this happens.
until then, if you still want to remove the location icon, you can still flash pmf's zip to get rid of it, youll just possibly lose the shaded notification background at worst. it shouldnt change anything else.

Awesome!
the link to the services.jar only didnt have the no location, so i downloaded the .zip and pulled the services from there.
I installed the zip from the op for shaded smooth sense/super circle green. The battery notification does not show up at all. A blank space where the battery notification would be.
edit: it works when I have the phone plugged in to charge, but once I disconnect the charge the battery icon disappears again.
First off, let me just say that this forum rocks. Compared to other forums, this one has the best and most talented folks!
Here's what I'm trying to do... As I browse through all of these wonderful themes and customizations, I'd like to take bits & pieces from each and make my own custom theme.
I'm running stock sense and using LauncherPro Plus. I really just want to add the following elements:
Glowing circle battery icon
50% shade notifications
Darkstar custom font
Hide location icon
Custom status bar icon colors (see attached)
yellow clock
yellow 3g signal
blue bluetooth icon
red mute/silent mode
green wi-fi signal
Then, have all of this in one, easy, neat update.zip file. Is this possible? I've read posts about using MetaMorph, but I don't think you can customize these pieces individually, correct?
Thanks!!
I'm alnmost done with this =) I also added the transition and nontifcation bar transitions
Excellent!! Thank you!! I can't wait to see it!!!

Me too! Kinda what I'd want as well.
I think Pimp**** ran into some problems with his new theme. Not sure when he'll have time for this now. :-(
I would love to see this as well. Anyone making progress? I'll test or help where i can.

I'm glad there's sooo much interest for these status bar icons! I can't believe no one has done this yet. The stock icons are so "blah". I'm even surprised when browsing all of the custom ROM's out there!! A lot of black, white & gray.... no one likes to use color?!? LOL
so there is a new rom available in the black hat app called tranquility black
I was wondering if you can install this directly over tranquility along with what the differences are?
yes it can be installed over the older version of TranQ.
the difference is the notification bar is in black with different icon, and a few other added things that were tweaked. I've seen it but have not updated to 2.3.8 in black yet. I know P3 is working on another update I think that should be out soon so I'm just going to hold up. Oh and if I'm not mistaken on the 2.3.8 the lockscreen slider is cleared/hidden. It is in the same place and functions the same way it is just not visible on the screen.
thanks for the reply, so other than visual things do you kno if they did anything to improve speed / performance?
No prob, as for your other question not exactly sure. And seeing as I'm a slacker and haven't updated yet I can't speak for the new Black 2.3.8 version. I do know he has a couple of things in the works for another update tho, not sure exactly what tho. Seeing as I haven't gotten time to finishing modifiying a couple of things I alwasy do I may just wait for him to release the next version and then drop my stuf in there and finally update.
when scrolling through running processes, manage applications, as I scroll the background changes from white to the theme color (blue)
I cannot find anywhere in the theme where that background is ( in this case blue)
guessing it has to be in framework res or system
Help? Pleas, its all I need for my theme to be complete

On What ROM is this?
Are you talking about the overscroll effect on CM?
Screen shots would help us answer better too.

its MIUI and the Kobalt theme, I have no clue what overscroll effect means. But I would have to say no, with the knowledge I have.
Go to running processes,(or manage applications) the screen is white , as your finger scrolls the screen, it turns (in my case blue)
sorry I know all this sounds stupid, but I have about 80 hours into learning all this theming , Damn I learned how to get rid of everything on the status bar THAT was tough just cannot figure out where this background screen is
and yes I'll get some shots I am sure it will help
THANKS cannot wait to get this theme up. you will be the first I tell LOL
Are you on MIUI's latest build...2.3...? I could've answered off my head if you were on CM...just checking what MIUI build to dig into. Will also help other members reading this as well.

Yes it is. Btw I was a huge fan of CM, but damn the arguing and *****ing.....nightly builds (which I learned to skip several and wait) broke more than it fixed IMO
Still have it and still go back and forth, somewhat, , BUT I am really enjoying MIUI's "clean " UI
anyhow
tinkered alot with this one issue, and as you know, make one change, put it all together, and hmmmmm not that, so after about 20 of that I came here.
BTW gonna need somebody to test this when I am ready EVO4g, hard to believe I rooted my evo late March and I am at this point. My PC hacking days (mid 90's) have helped LOL
AND so you know I am not a kid, 55 and retired (33 years firefighter) everyone asked
whatcha gonna do with all that time.....LOL found it, for now
I could try it on my EVO for you if need be...I am on the same boat myself but with CM theme chooser. Lemme know once its ready. I will try dig into MIUI to see what I can find.
Fact about MIUI: the MIUI developers in China are implementing a new UI over the course of several weeks and some things are still buggy/half finished. This has been taking place since MIUI changed to gingerbread and anyone who's been running MIUI for a while remembers running apps in "compatibility mode" to make text appear. Graphics glitches have gotten better and better with each GB build of the ROM.
I have a theory: Since the devs began implementing these UI changes, I have also seen the effect that you are talking about, though it has decreased in frequency with every new build. It should also be noted that the color (which you described as blue) changes with whatever theme I'm running. I believe it to be a "glitch" in the UI due to lack of compatibility with certain devices or apps. The benefits of MIUI far outweigh such small glitches for me and I continue to run the ROM but that's the closest I can come to explaining the effect.

I believe your right, but my issue is......whether its the theme or the rom (your point) but hey its all fun , if you want I'll send you the theme also. I am digging this (70's) talk lol
see if I am right though, the MIUI stock rom is mostly orange, whereas the Kobalt is blue, BUT as you say ( follow me) change orange to blue and ???? I have changed several of Kobalts " backgrounds" (phone, toggles etc) to a plain blue. So maybe the stock MIUI rom is reading this light blue as a much darker blue. Make sense? What you posted does make sense to me.
Guess the only way to see all this is for me to send ya'll (southern) the theme
THANKS
Hmmm, upon re-reading the entire thread I feel as though I may have mis-interpreted your original question but yes, what you said makes perfect sense. Obviously some element of the themes is changing that background color but I'm not nearly advanced enough of a themer to begin to tell you where to look. If you were suggesting that you need someone else to run the "kobalt" theme to check for the same issue/see the color then I'm down to "dig" it, haha.

I agree what help, above and beyond, CM 3 pages of bashing I-phones HUH????
It comes from the cacheColorHint in the xml. a lot of apps have it that way but the background is the same color. do a search through the xml for cacheColorHint
Here it is
Well it is still not 100% done
so in a nutshell:
bootscreen is a re-do of cyanagen mod 7 (cannot find the original dev to give credit) took the text out and redid colors to blue
most everything else was hacked from kobalt blue
keyboard was from (i believe) honeybread theme
clock should not show up as I use a widget called make your own clock
a superb prog that puts it in text also allows battery % internal space used etc
mine is all blue to match the theme
revamped status bar as most of what was on it was redundant, use widgets on main screen ( again, make your own clock)
all I left was 3g data tx in green. Tried blue but I believe green catches ones eye quickly if no signal. bluetooth, and gps will show up in blue on status,( Side note, GPS was a ***** to do but IMO looks cool when it acquires the signal)
No wallpaper, IMO battery drain plus the blue on black looks good.
you will see I left some of Kobalts backscreens in , phone call and some others
toggle screen redone, also found a cool app that will show signal strength in dbm, no bars just text, IE. signal -98dbm, also can change to blue (this was a 4 hour project to find the one to fit the theme) it is called clarius signal. I use: one click widget, for brightness and volume. I use widget locker for my LS and have it all blue minimal text with Make your clock widget for time
Still left:
minor inconsistencies with colors ( backgrounds, static screens ETC) That is what started this thread LOL
SMS: could not find a way to alter Kobalts, gotta spend more time
Kobalts lock screen (easy to do just gotta get to it)
SO if any one wants to assist with getting more blue, jump right in, I only ask if you do, to zip it up and share. When it is all done we will share the credit
REMEMBER to change zip to mtz (for the noobs)
ENJOY ( I am at easily 100+ hours , trial and error as I go) Lots of PATIENCE
Damn just noticed 8 mb on zip upload....hmmmm gotta change game plan
This should work

My original question w/sshots, this is manage apps, the white is statis the blue is scrolling. The blue is what I want to find to lighten up.
I do not see cacheColorHint in any xml's

Alright, I have the latinIME.apk and I'm actually about to post a link from DB.
All I really am asking for is some color mods (There were alot in the HTC Hero sections) and since I upgraded to an Evo, I really miss it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to work on keyboard mods for android 2.3.3 and up if you get it working, I would love you forever.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Mo... (Such as keyboard and system UI/LatinIME.apk

The mod I'm looking for is the letters on the keys changed. Thanks alot guys.

The color code for it is 0DF7FF which is a light blue. I used UOT to make a new theme for my phone and the color matches. FF0000 would be cool too.

It appears the theme isn't wanting to take. >.> Screw you Evo >=( First time it's being disobedient with a mod I applied. I want a red one to match the minimal red keyboard in the HTC Hero Gingerbread keyboards in the forums posted by User7816
I switched to Honeycomb 3D because the theme zip I made is being a **** head.
I'll upload the theme zip and hopefully you can learn a little about it or even dare I say it: Find what's wrong lol.
The color for the first code is thiswhile the second one is this
Hopefully someone can do this, I would love to see it on my phone
