Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)
that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped
Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency
Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703
Thanks Britoso.

Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.

I was just wondering if someone could tell me where the icons to all the applications are placed.
Some icons are bad, and some are most likely not made for HD2, so I want to change them.
And therefore I ask if this is possible, and if there exists an icon file.
You can use CSMI to change the icons one by one.
Or better still, you can just install this wonderful cab by DINIK to instantly replace 100 icons with these (highly recommended!):

Maybe you could try JWMD Icon Changer, it's on xda, do a search and you will find it.
Icons are in Windows/Startmenu/programs.
i was looking for this also.. wonder where isit..
but i tot there are some location @ Windows/?
hi there,
i am not sure but i think, all icon images are placed in windows folder you will have to find which one want to change. then you can replace it with your favourite one,
cheers

You can change them with a registry edittor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ xxx.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\yyy.png"
where xxx.lnk = the Start Menu link
and yyy.png = the icon you want to use
After that, clean the cache:
Phone/Application data/HTC/ProgLauncher/*.bmg
is there a directory where you can find all the icon ico files?
anyone who has this app downloaded... knows that the quicklink icon is bad quality.. it kinda bothers me.. so is anyone up to making a better one??
cause thats the only "ugly" icon on my quicklinks and i would like to remedy it... any takers?? or perhaps someone could guide me and tell me how to do it.. so i can proceed?

I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.
i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...
note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.
cheers.

how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?
ProjektFuze said:

Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!
thanks.. i think i got it to work.. cheers
i got this one. maybe someone can make white corners transparent. no soft installed right now
Here you go.
hmm now there is a big white frame around.
maybe you can make it like the other two
thx
no white frame
It is a png file, the white background is transparent. And you are welcome.
Is it possible to make the font of the clock in the notification bar bold, like in this screenshot?

And would it be possible through typefresh?

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.

Are you interested in the theme from your screenshot, or do you just want a run-down on which xml files to modify? (or do you have a theme you're using now that you just want a bold clock for)

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?

That is for cyanogen mod 7...
The status bar isn't even handled the same way in honeycomb.
Is it possible on the transformer (or any other honeycomb device)?
Maybe, that method won't work though, it was done (most likely) by making an image transparent, I don't think the status bar background in honeycomb is an image (could be wrong here) but in the code somewhere instead.
And I know it isn't in the same location...
Good luck finding a honeycomb version of this, it would be a cool mod, but unlikely.
You may be able to create a theme with transparent images for the taskbar, this can be done using any version of photoshop.

You can't add background to status bar in Honeycomb as far as I know.

These aren't status bar backgrounds. The pcb background is part of the actual button/notification. I know because I've pulled this theme apart and looked at the images.
Since I like how MotoBlur looks, and TW4.5 is really simple to theme, I made this.

Just put the attached zip on your sdcard, go to the launcher preferences > theme > install theme (Blurry.zip), then choose theme (Blurry.zip), then pick the "restart and save" option from the main menu.
Note: restarting and saving the launcher has caused hotboots for me, I don't know why but it does.
To get the faded white dock background, open up your favorite image editing program and draw a transparent to opaque white gradient towards the bottom of your prefered background, then use Wallpaper Set and Save (from the market) to install it. I have no idea how to permanently set a background for the dock, help is appreciated. Here's the one I'm using in the screenshot:

This was just to hold me over until someone makes a full theme, I'm not a themer and this was all I could conjure up
So I've been doing some research, and I've started porting some theme-related stuff from the Bionic to the Charge. I'll keep you guys updated
hi.
to add a permanent dock picture, just made a dock.png picture and put it in the .zip file.
you also can do "docked" icons by adding dock_ before the names of icons you want to be docked.
For more infos about TW4.5 : : http://www.i900playeraddict.com/android/TW45/
Thanks for your job !
Just an update for how the theme is going; I've ported most of the images from framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the Bionic. I've also ported the theme from Motoblur to TW3.
What's nearly done:
framework-res.apk (I'll consider this done once I manage to get the status bar themed)
SystemUI.apk
TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
Mms.apk (*note* I decided to use the AOSP app instead of the TW once, personal preference)
TwWallpaperChooser.apk (added Bionic wallpapers)
What's to come:
Phone.apk
Contacts.apk
Email.apk
Browser.apk
More as time progresses...
Here are some screenshots as a teaser
