Basically the title says it all. I've flashed CM7, and really liked the aesthetic of it, but it was just a bit too buggy for me. So I'm back at CM6, but I really dislike the white notification bar of CM6, and love the way CM7 looks. Is there anyway to get the same color scheme as 7? I don't necessarily need new icons, but would really like the color scheme to be the same. I've tried changing the notification bar to black... but it's actually a gradient, not a pure black. I'm also not positive of the hex numbers used for the pull down bar, etc. Has anyone themed this up, or knows how to accomplish it? Thanks.

Is possible transform statusbar_background in trasparency?? Sorri for my English!!!
Not by just making the png transparent... I tried that but it turned the statusbar all black
Not without framework modifications because the way it is currently implemented means that the client (app) currently running doesn't draw below the status bar.
So, even if you make it transparent somehow there is nothing below it.
so is there any oportunity to modify framework in this way?
i realy would like to have transparent status bar
ive always thought that the notification bar should be taken away
This subject is discussed at length in the Themes section of the forum.

reading is fundamental, also guess what this forum has handy little search feature located at the top right corner!!!
had to get rid of the evil post count lol
Nope. at least it hasnt been done yet... mebbe someday
You know, I've always wanted to know if there are any changes anyone has made to that aspect of the framework... I would love a thinner bar at the top.
mine was transparent on the HERO rom that i had, i forgot which rom it was, i think it was jac 7.6.something.. it was kind transparent but it was tinted black with darker checker boards. i'm talkign about the notification bar when you scroll it down that whole page
They are talking about making the status bar transparent, and it hasnt been done because it causes errors, or at the very least, it just returns as a solid color. There is a thread discussing the problems with this and the launcher background being transparent. And as much as you dont want to sift through all those posts, what makes you think I want to find it for you? Dont be so lazy.
i thought it was easily done, the only problem being that the wallpaper stops at the status bar, hence it being all black. or am i mistaken?

I believe I tried it once, and it was all black. There is nothing underneath it but black screen. You are not mistaken.
As the title says I'd really like it if someone could make that for me, I'm using Darchdroid 2.7, who ever gives me it first will get a donation
http://www.wirefresh.com/images/motorola-motoblur.jpg
Basically that..just the gray bar, not the icons. or anything. I'd rather have the gray then black or white
I'm looking into it just for fun. It may not be real easy to do being that motoblur is based on donut's framework and darchdrod eclair.
Here's a backflip system dump:
http://www.androidspin.com/download...lip.Blur_Version.0.1.1199.MB300.ATT.en.US.zip
The sprites you want to port over should be in the framework-res.apk located in /system/framework... assuming the backflip filesystem is like a standard android phone.
I'm d/ling that system dump now. If it's easy, I'll do it.
Hmm... the only png I could find that looked like it might be the statusbar background is attached. Doesn't look very gray to me.
I'm also looking at a froyo framework-res to see where the matching statusbar sprite is located and it appears to be MIA. Chances are the is a result of the difference in version.
that picture you posted is a white bar...
Agreed. It is a nice looking bar though.

transparent? not that i know. but you can use third party homescreen launchers to make it "invisible"
Transparant would be cooler though!

Not yet, but... I've pulled the framwork-res.apk and modified the backgroud to the task bar and have attached the results.
I haven't modified anything else in the bar, hence the icons for signal etc are still blue/black... but I will do.
The only problem with this is what colour do you have the text on the bar, as the background in apps also comes through
(I was thinking that instead of a fully see through bar, that I'd create an opaque one when I get home, as I only have paint on this PC)
EDIT: I was also looking to modify the lock screen to be slightly opaque, to match the bar at the top
Will post updates here once I've done them
Looking forward to the results!

I can remove the background to the icons, there is just a lot of them and I am at work, plus I have photoshop on my mac at home, and only MSpaint here.
I'll see what I can do for the glass effect, and was thinking of doing a few different see through colour variants (i.e. black, white, red etc)
As before, I think the main issue is going to be the text, but if there is a tint of colour, it should be easy enough to read (we'll see)
Hopefully I'll be able to put up a very beta version today or tomorrow, including the lock screen mods so you can see how it will look.
I'll put a new thread up when I have this beta bit done

I'm really looking forward to your transparent theme. I've been looking for one on my X10 for ages and I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.
Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Metamorph app, so will give it a go.
I've been using adb to test
Update Time!
Quick update, its a little trickier than I originally anticipated, but more or the status bar icons have been updated (I still have a lot to do yet)
So, I thought I'd show what I have done so far...
As you can see, some of the test is difficult to see in the bar, but this should be fixed once I've get a decent glass like effect on the bar. If you're using a dark background, this is fine, but lighter backgrounds are not so good.
Also, the text and debug mode icons are not done, and some of the battery and internet down/upload icons are also not done (100 and 80% for battery are complete, and the icons where 3g is enabled but not uploading or downloading are not done.)
Still, I think there is decent (ish) progress, and hope to get something you can use after the weekend (maybe before it's out, but I don't want to follow SE's example of giving crap release dates )
PS. Sorry for the quality of the attachment, I use screencast through my PC which doesn't scale down well but is quicker than using a screenshot app on Android

We could make it like this: one is working on the FULL transparent one and the other on the "win7 glass effect"

Right, almost there with the black transparent bar...
Take a look at the screenies
I'm in process of writing an installer, but its late, so I'm not finishing it now.
What I have now will be the first version, I will be changing the lock screen and other home screen bluenesses (like where I have Vodafone and ongoing, I will make them match the colour of the status bar)
I will also be adding a few more colours, preferably from the same installer, but we'll see how that goes.
Finally, I want to change the white background on the status dropdown to be the same as the status bar, eg, in this case, black and transparent.
looking good dude

Indeed, this is lookin great. I do really really like the looks of the status bar.
An idea, I know your still in very early stage atm but when you release it with your installer why not make it configurable? What I mean is so when your installing it asks you what bits you want in your choice of colours. So it would be customisable and everyone could have a version of some spec of colour that would suit any theme.
This would make a great paid app if you ask me...

Great work/concept so far!
I had thought about trying a translucent status bar background before. Can't wait to see it.
I'm trying to learn about theming a little too when I have time...
ccan u share the files... we could also work on it .. while u can compile the installer
Looks really sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
BTW, very beautiful babe you have on your screen.
It seems whenever I apply a theme, the circular (or regular lock) bar will not change from the color green, nor will the "Phone" icons change, or will the color of the call button on phone change from green. Any reason these things won't change? Im currently running RubiX 1.9.7 Focused with the Black Juice True Blue theme. See pictures.
First time poster, so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
i51.tinypic.com/1zcfpmp.png Lockscreen stays green.
i55.tinypic.com/28je5tx.png Phone numbers don't change, call buttons stays green.
Other question, how do you embed a link into words here?

if you went from one theme to the next more or less themeing over each other some aspects of the old theme may still be seen in the new,,,,sometimes trails can be left behind,so the way i prevent this is right after i flash a rom and know i want to use it and theme it prior to flashing any themes i make a backup of that rom so when i want to use a new theme i restore my clean rom backup and install my new theme,,,this clean rom backup also comes in handy if things dont go well with the theme you installed and need a way out without having to reflash the whole rom,just do a simple restore,,,,sorry to babble and hope this helps
No thats not it, for some reason, those things will not change with any theme I apply.

What color do you want them to be? I just pulled out the framework, and the images haven't been themed, that is why they are still showing up green. I can try and re-color them if you want.
I'd like them to be the same blue color as
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...uice-ginger-themes-rubix-focused-1-9-7-a.html
the true blue theme, which is a few posts down, it's what im using currently.
Also sorry for the late reply, been a busy few days.
So, I just installed the new SGS4G Bionix and it's great. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the pull-down for the status bar along the top has a translucent background, and when I have it on top of another app, it looks gross and is hard to read. I'm really, really new to the custom look-and-feel thing, and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to make that be a solid color rather than the cool frosted white they chose?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. See the Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. along the top? I'd like this entire background to be a solid color. Any ideas?:
