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

most unlikely because the frameworks could be diff. hit me up.
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?

Nandroid's a must
Why don't u just use the UOT Kitchen...?!
Can someone please show me how to theme MIUI's status bar into the stock green gingerbread status. I love the green battery signals and all! Ive looked all over the web and all over the site as well cant seem to get anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Im doing a port of a theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282585 and I got mostly everything over BUT I cant seem to change the status bar image. I replaced statusbar_background.9 but when I reboot my phone the status bar is still black.

But the status bar in that theme IS black.....
Also, this looks like q&a material.

Lol that thread I linked you too is my other thread and how it currently looks now. I want to change that black statusbar.
I recently updated my CM7 7.1.0 to 7.2.0 RC1 and the first thing i noticed was that the status bar would leave shadows of whatever is on it. every time i got a notification, there would be a shadow effect of everything on there. even when i pull down my notification bar and pull it back up, the date would leave a shadow on the status bar. does anyone know how i can fix this? if u need a picture of what im talking about, ill post one. just let me know.
