You need to change the xml's in the framework-res.apk.
Or upgrade to 2.2 beta 4 and flash cm settings.

The text on the status bar doesnt change with the theming. You have to change it manually through the settings on cm6, which is what kangorama is based on. Gala S theme is very nice.
I know that, thats not my problem....this rom wont theme for me....and I dont know why....so NOW Im using Enom's ROM...and now I got what I want...but now I dont have white clock.....i tried editing the services.jar using a post step by step but nuttin change ...ahhh w/e Im tried I dont care anymore lol
Because the adw launcher is custom themed in the rom and its renamed to kowlauncher.apk
Find it..pull it theme it and push it should work then i believe
If not i have no idea cus mine works fine lol
It should work... status bar is in framework-res.apk.
Attach the status bar you want (in a zip file) an I'll make a custom version for you...

thank you for sharing.
I really love this theme, transparent drop-down bar and blue icons, I was looking for something like this since a long time. There is one thing I cant get to look like on screenshots, that's the circle battery icon. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it stays the same. Should I install the one from appman for it, or is it included in this theme?

UOT Kitchen It's a great online theming kitchen. Very easy to use. You chose what you want, upload the particular files, go to the pickup page, wait a bit, and before long, you get a flashable zip...

You need to learn how to use apk manager, apk tool, or apk multi tool and get really familiar with decompiling/recompiling .apks. But yes, editing the xml should do the trick...
There is actually a thread in one of the sections (probably the theming section) here that tells you how to make the background of the status bar transparent, so I'm sure the same steps would apply to changing it to white to whatever your desired color is.
Or you could just flash a different ROM or theme...lol

The only rom I have successfully cooked a theme using UOT was Whitehawkx Valhalla Final. UOT has issues extracting the apk. Atleast that is what I was told. editing the xml is probably going to be the best bet. Like thomas says getting familar with decompiling and recompiling will be the best idea.
This will be a good start -

transparent status bar?

i am on a rooted german ICS rom and was wondering wether its poosible to have a transparent status bar?
I'm searching for itit too, i know it is possible but how?
I think that it is possible, but to make it happened you have to change some .png for the statusbar.
I believe it requires smali edits in systemui.apk
Sent from my GT-N7000
actually you can mod the apk file and edit the color of status bar as alpha blending = 1
this is the method the status bar is drawn as far as i recall it doesn't have PNG files for the actual background though you can define that too.

You can using a custom status bar on stock lq2 its transparent with bunch of toggles looks much better then the stock one all icons in blue with 15 toggles
I will add xda thread link if you guys interested

As mentioned before, its a smali edit. Then you can either set the status bar colour to transparent or set the drawable to look for an image. I'll post a quick tutorial when I get to my computer. Really easy to do providing you know how to (de)compile properly

Im writing this presuming you already know how to decompile ICS apk's, if not.......google is your friend
Make a backup of your systemUI just incase.
Decompile your SystemUI,
Navigate to /SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
In StatusBar.Smali, search for this line;
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
A few lines above this change;
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]0x4[/B]
To
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]-0x3[/B]
Save the file then navigate to SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml
Look for the following line;
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[B]#ff000000[/B]</item>
Change the hex value (#ff000000) the what ever you want ((ff = 100% transparency)(000000 = black)
#00000000 - completely transparent
#7f000000 - roughly 50% translucent I think
Save the file then recompile SystemUI.apk, and then push the apk back to your phone with the correct permissions and if compile correctly you should have a transparent status bar
If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible....blah blah blah!!
Iv only done this on CM9 & AOSP/AOKP but it should work with stock/tw roms as long as they're ics.
I'm still not next to my computer so I can't remember the line of code to set the status bar as an image rather than a color, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

How do I get a background Image, Like the attached Screenshot ?
Thanks!
