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.

All the "Desire bar" / BlackBar morphs and themes that I've looked at use the same icons for data connectivity, with text (G/E/3G/H) directly above the arrows. These icons have a "bug" - they look like they've been brought together from several places, and when you loop between them - you see the different arrows, fonts and location, which makes the experience very annoying when they flash on the screen.
I tried to use the stock icons on the Desire bar, but their background was visible on the bar, annoying to the eye.
So I took 15 min and removed that background (setting it transparent), leaving the arrows and text. The result is attached and can be used in themes/morphs/ROMs for black or dark notification bar.
I've modified the Desire notification bar morph by XebozZ to include those icons and stock battery icon, to be able to morph in 1 step. It works only for pre-themed ROMs (having pre-themed white notification bar text version) or latest Enomther, CM6 and others (allowing to change the notification bar text color). See 2nd post for morphs.
I've decided to share the morphed Black notification bar that I use for myself. Since I do it for myself, it'll naturally be made for the ROMs I use - which happen to be Enomther's.
Will work on Enomther's ROM starting 2.12.prealpha and up, CyanogenMod 6.0, or any other ROM that supports white text notifications.
Download and apply the attached morph, using stericson's Metamorph from the market.
Don't forget to change notification text colors in Spare Parts.
I didn't try other morph apps, you can do it, don't complain if it doesn't work, though.
My morph includes the following changes from the usual Desire Bar found everywhere else:
1) Modified stock data connectivity icons from the 1st post.
2) Stock battery indicator (the % are too large for DesireBar battery indicator, doesn't look good IMHO).
Thanks to Saphroxx for Desire Bar morph template, dumbestcrayon for the update.zip template of older versions, Enomther for ROM, stericson for Metamorph, and the rest of thanks to the people behind Andoid, both community and corporate.
For those that like Desire/Sense battery icons, Sapproxx made a version that includes them instead of stock battery icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7983261&postcount=20
Will this work with Enom's stock ROM or should I flash the Prethemed White text file he has on his thread before I flash this?
Edit: Nevermind. I re-read a part of your 2nd post and I see you included his services.jar.
Thanks, man! I really appreciate this!
Updated for 2.11.3.
Services.jar is erroring out on install.

Perfect, man.
Thanks again for this. It's my favorite notification bar so far.
Have you thought about doing one of these in pure black? I know there's somebody out there who has a pure black one, but I didn't like his battery icons and everything. The icons and the way this is put together is exactly what I like, and maybe a pure black one without the glossy highlights would be cool too. Just sayin'...
Also, have you noticed that the battery percentage is slightly to the left in the battery icon? Is that something that is fixable or is it just the way Enom's ROM displays the battery percentage?
Thanks again for your work.
I can do the pure black, it's only a matter of changing a single PNG file - but personally I don't like the pure black, the area "melts" with black background and the bar isn't distinguishable.
The battery percentage is a bit tricky. The icon is shifted right - because of the "nose" of the battery, which has to protrude left, but the battery also has to remain within icon boundaries and be balanced between them. So to make the text in the middle of the battery, it has to be shifted right several pixels. The text appears exactly in the middle of the icon space - but since the battery is shifted right because of the "nose", the text seems a bit left.
i take it this doesn't work with leo's 2.0?
Using a morph - it works with ANY deodexed ROM.

That's cool. I just figured I would suggest it. Thanks for the bar you've already done, which is pretty much all I've used since I switched to Enom's ROM.
can we get a screenshot of the reuslt pls...
Posted in the 1st post.
Bumping for an update to 2.12 pre-alpha!
Since I've realized that Enomther's ROM has the text color set in Spare Parts now, I've updated the 2nd post to suggest using morph method for Enomther's 2.12.prealpha and up.

Works like a charm. Highly recommended.
The same instructions that MicroMod777 gives for his themes work for this one too.
"To properly set white text colors go to "Spare Parts", "Status Bar Options", "Status Bar Colors", "Set All Colors", use code "ffffffff". Then go back to "Notification Items", and set them ALL black to: "ff000000". Then Reboot."
The only other thing to get this looking exactly like the 2.11.3 zip version is to go into Status Bar Options -> Status Bar Colors -> Notifications in Pull-Down and make sure Clean Notifications Button is also set to ff000000. This is supposed to say "Clear Notifications Button" but he mistyped it.
thx for continuing my work and the reference. Note that my nickname contains an "h" though as in Saphroxx.
Only thing I noticed is that the stock battery icon is there now instead of the desire battery indicator.
Good job on fixing the differences in arrows mate

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

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 )

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...

Does VB use a non-stock dialer? Just curious because none of the themes I've tried change the little phone icon... and the "black phone on black wallpaper" is hard for me to see. Would like the green phone back if possible.

Cool thanks. There's no way to change the icon in the VB dialer? (I do like it better, other than the icon.)
Look at a different launcher (golauncher, launcher pro) - or the paid version of adw. You can change the icon to whatever you want.

Cool. So I got the paid ADW. Figured out how to change icons, which is COOL.
But I still haven't found a phone icon I like. I extracted the .PNG from the VB dialer, recolored it to dark green, re-saved it as a PNG and... ADW acts like it doesn't exist.
So now I'm trying to figure out if there is some requirement for icons of which I'm unaware. Seeing as all I did was change the phone color from black to green you'd think it'd be okay... :dunno:

Hello,
I installed the ZenceFil Seven for stock kernel and i really like it.
But, I don't like one thing in this whole ROM, my theme is blue and all the things on the screen are blue except the background/wallpaper in dial/contact section there is red wallpaper.
So, i want to change that picture to put some blue one to fit with my theme and everything..
And i tried 2-3 different themes to see will the Dial picture will change.. but no.
Please help me, I don't want to change this ROM because of this.
I'm new to this forum and with pimping the my X8.
Hey guys
I totally love most of the new 4.4, except in some locations you have white for certain text, lines, etc, and then for others you have the light blue.
While I love the light blue, I'm more of a black and white guy myself, this includes screens like the update screen for the ROM, where it says your software is currently up to date, the dialer, etc.
Is there someone out there that would mind just removing all the blue and making it white? I don't mean inverting SMS or Google Plus or anything, just remove the annoying blue borders, text and numbers (dialer).
It just doesn't flow together
I've looked around, found a few pretty awesome themes, especially Black Infinitum X, but there's still some inconsistencies.
Thanks!

You're not going to have the ability to remove all the blue within the stock ROM, what I would suggest is try this new xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602257

Why not?
Also, not all CM11 themes work, Onyx Glow doesn't.
Lastly, Betterkat doesn't help me at all. They are all colored themes. The Blacked Out version of Blackout's Theme clashes with certain settings far worse than Infinitum does.
Unless there is a Betterkat that is White themed I'm not seeing...

Well the only way you can remove all the blue is with cm11 and or gummy ROM, actually running gummy now with betterkat blacked out and everything is back with white lettering, you can also try xblast module as I believe you can change colors but again I don't now how far and specifically what it changes. That's the limitations to thus point with all the themeing modules, it changes some backgrounds but not all and or you will have white backgrounds with grey letters, black background with black text, I tried almost every way of changing colors as I like inverted colors, replacing apps ,gravity box, xblast, xthemengine and the module above. I gave up and flashed cm11 and bam, now gummy , its even better
