I have seen pictures of ROMs with both the Battery and Clock on the title bar, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I searched and found a program that kind of does it, but it was just text and honestly looked pretty ghetto. Is there any way to have the default battery icon and clock on the title bar at the same time? Thanks for the help.
Dunno what you mean by "Getto", but Battclock can do this. Infact it can display 3 stacked updates using only one "footprint" in the top bar.
Have a look here: http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BattClock.html
Is there no way to have it with the default icons/text, rather than just an overlay with no icons?
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:

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.

Thanks mate, morph works fine with cm6 nightly.

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

Fixed 10chars
For the people who prefer the Desire/Sense battery icons, like I do, I created this alternative Desirebar-Black-Pulldown-SenseBatteryIcons.
To be applied with Metamorph.

Hi everyone,
I've been on a search for a mod that would do this but I've come up emptyhanded on my search.
The thing I've been looking the most for is a way to include the temperature in the notification bar.
I really dislike cluttering my home screen with widgets and temp would only use 3-4 characters max. Nothing fancy, just text. Like in the attached image which I photoshopped so the basic concept would be understood. I know you could probably do it with an app but I want the temp to stick to the right of the bar.
The left side of the bar left strictly for notifications.
Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a mod/app that does this already? Please enlighten me.
P.S. Anyone know how to get a purely text battery icon on the notification bar like on the attached image? Much appreciated.
As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!
Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>
I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?
I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.
I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?
+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.
i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw
I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.
Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

ditto. i actually have a fully transparent status bar i can put in some themes but it only works with the stock android launcher. works with the stock gb launcher as well
I was wondering if anyone could make a metamorph of the notification icons seen here.
Calkulin's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811695
Preferably with the battery percentage.
I would love to see this in any format, Calkulin's notification icons are the best IMHO.
I would love to see it too. I have Calk's 1.8 running and I lost the colored gmail notification icon last week when gmail updated (but all others are still there).
There is exactly a tread about this.
