Hello, hopefully this easy an easy question but I just rooted and installed CM6 last night, loving Chrome to Phone and some of the other froyo goodness. Just not feeling the off white status bar/ notifications area. Is there a simple way to change this, not really interested in a full theme with icons and all that if it isnt necessary.
Thanks
If you just want a solid black background, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Notifications colors and scroll down to "Custom notification bar". From there you can choose any color you want. It may require a reboot to take effect.
Exactly what I was needing, thank you
Haven't used cyanogen since I had my g1, second android phone since then lol

I've tried this, set it for black and rebooted, but the status bar is still white. The Bar Color setting shows a solid black circle in the middle with a hex value of #ff00000, but the status bar is still black characters on a white bar. Am I doing this wrong?
Black is
#000000
White is
#ffffff
what you posted above is nothing.... but you might have typed a few too many 0 on it... if so then ff0000 is red.
Black bar and Sense Icons
If you are interested and are running CM6 test 8. and have s-off. Here is a metamorph I made today for the sense status bar and icons, and the sense app icons.

Sorry for the necropost, but would this work on a Hero running CM6?

After you get hte color you want you have to press the cirle in the center, if you hit back it wont apply. but it will remember hte selection you made. I had that same problem

I'm gonna scream! This is the third time I've tried typing this how to out.... Don't ask...
Anyways, I will tell you what to do to change the colors on the first one. Then after that, I will give the section, each entry and it's color, then wrap it up. I'm not going to write a book like I did before.
Let's go!
At home screen, menu/cyanogenmod settings/user interface. Render effect = no render effect. Status bar section. I didn't want battery percentage, so I unchecked it. Clock color. Move outside of color wheel to white. Tap the dot in the center of the color wheel to confirm that's the color you want. I wanted show dbm. Set that color to white.
Back key once. Date and provider. In plmn carrier string, the two check boxes should be checked. Carrier plmn label color = black. Make sure to tap the dot in the center of the color wheel when you change a color or your new choice won't stick. Settings for spn carrier string. Both check boxes checked. Carrier spn label color is black.
Back key once. Notifications colors. Notifications ticker color = white. Notifications count color is white. No notification title color is white. Clear notifications label color is black. Ongoing notifications title color is white. Latest notifications title color is white.
Scroll down some. Items title color is black. Items text color is black. Items time color is black. Check custom notifications bar check box. Bar color is black.
Now keep hitting back key until you are back to the home screen. Reboot the phone. When phone comes back up, everything "should" be correct color now. Let me know if it worked. It took me some trial and error, and a lot of reboots, before I think all the colors look as they should for the notification bar.
I don't know how to change the slide down notifications drawer to white on black. If I did, that would be like the icing on the cake... Sorry.

I the background the hard way...replaced the "statusbar_background.9.png" in framework-res with my own. and as far as the background of the notifications LIST, I believe youll have to change the "status_bar_background.png" within the framework-res as well... At least thats what I did.
I like the Droid X battery, and I think it would look pretty cool on a black status bar.
can anyone do this? or has it been done?
also if it can say notifications with arrows on the bottom of the pull down bar that would be great! also if it had a see through background
for CM6

You can set the color/transparency of the status bar/pull down in CM6 to anything, so would a morph that just does the Droid X battery icons be sufficient? Of course, this wouldn't change the bottom of the pull down to say "notifications".

yes, that would be fine.
i would like to have the "notifications" at the bottom.
but, the droid x battery morph would be just fine too
Has anyone made a blue or Gradient Black (not the solid black bar that is default in CM7) status bar background for CM7? Every time I try and edit the statusbar_background.9.png (or whatever it is), I get boot looped. Anyone have a premade version with everything the same as regular CM7, just a different BG color/image?

I use xposed+gravity box on stock rom which lets you change the color of both status and nav bars. However, I'm not sure about making it app specific.

After a research on google, I found xposed download "Tinted Status Bar" it is in beta stage and it works on exlir rom for me. This what I'm looking for.
Sorry, I wasted a thread. I researched this after I posted a thread about status/nav bar changes.
