so i've searched for a white notification bar and i cant seem to find one for this device.
i tried to just invert the colors on a black bar theme, but it didnt do anything to the bar and just made all the icons black(and invisible).
anybody know anything about a white bar?

So.. I'm guessing you already know how to properly modify the files for your ROM. The file you want to look for to modify and make white is "statusbar_background.png" ...Some roms this file name will also contain a ".9" in the name.
If this is the case, the .9 pngs HAVE to be modified a certain way, as the .9 means that they contain special instructions, for text, icons, and stretching. If you are not sure how to fix a .9 png, you can send me the file. I'll make it white, and send it back.

Well I did get the bar white. But now the clock and a few icons are white. The other icons I can figure out, but what do I do for the clock?
Thanks!

Clock is in the services.jar. or at least it was on the Captivate. Haven't pulled this one apart yet.

Dont let the name fool u it will diffenetly have sense
This theme has a modded services.jar taken from the azreal rom. So if your runing a different rom that has a modded services.jar u will lose those changes. As always nand backup b4 u flash

Having a problem, i have been trying to make the notification pulldown transparent and i made the png transparent, but now it just shows a black background. So i'm assuming there is a second background controled by a xml file or another png. Does anyone know what i have to edit to get it fully transparent?

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.
Oh, nice clock, by the way... if you are going to use my clock, can you please use my download link instead, thanx.

I've installed/customized a theme exactly as I want with Black status bar, and black pulldown background with white text. I properly Deodexed and used the compatible services.jar, however, the following events still show up with black text in the dropdown list:
-In-Call timer status
-Download Progress
-Any item that is an event in progress
I've tried 4 different services.jar and all of them had the same problem, I tried editing the status bar XML files, only to have the phone refuse to load.
I notice 90% of themes leave the dropdown tabs gray, and I assume this is the reason, but does anyone have the files necessary to make all text in the dropdown white?
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk I can give this a go. I'm pretty sure this is in the /res/layout/status_bar_latest_notification.xml file or something titled similiarly.
Anyways.... I can give you some help if wanted...
I've attached my framework-res.apk, let me know what you can do. Thank You!
No problem. I will give this a go after work.

In looking at your framework...is this the current framework that you thought SHOULD have the white text? Or a unmodified framework. In looking at it...it looks like the text should be white... At least from what theming I have done... You have white (ffffff) set in the correct places for the dropdown notification bar in /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.
What ROM/theme are you using? Also are you on the 2.3.34 update? i'm still on 2.3.15... So I don't want to throw a framework on my phone that may cause issues =?
If you can give me some more info... I was digging through it tonight.
Thanks
I am using the 2.3.340 firmware, standard rom but rooted and deodexed.
I used that exact framework with 2.3.15 with the same issue. My theme is nearly perfect except for that, so it's kind of annoying.
Hm... I'll keep looking over it. So this current framework SHOULD have white text but didn't?
Try also looking at the styles.xml and colors.xml in the /res/layout folder. I.m winning if things need to match up and something in one of those files is overwriting your white color

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the services.jar hold the information to change the colors in the drop down events?

I'm pretty sure it just controls color for the clock, ticker, and the "titles" for the sections in the drop-down such as "latest" or "ongoing". It doesn't actually change the text color of notifications in the drop down.
Can u help me too
I had this issue with derezzed too, a lot of ongoing event text colors are controlled by each individual application (something I saw with dropbox and facebook uploads) so the options are to either customize each application as you get it, ignore the unreadable text, or simply change the .png to a different color that provides a similar feel while being able to read black text... or another artsy thing would be to use rounded corners to make each notification look like an individual bubble instead of a continuous pane

totally didnt see how old this post was... oops
Ok i love the bionix rom i just dont care for the white status and dropdown menu so i used UOT kitchen to cook a theme and i tried flashing the. Zip with framework-res. apk inside through cwm but nothing changed so i just pushed it manually and did the same with twframework and everything changed and looked nice except the icons at the top of the notification dropdown menu look like the stock froyo icons but everything else in the dropdown menu looks the way it should. I also cant find where to change the dropdown notification icons in UOT anyways? There not even an option? You figure it would be under status bar mods but i dont see anything? Anybody know a solution?

Heres some pics!! just remember there's still a couple of things that still need to be adjusted but i can handle that i just need to figure out the drop down notification icon problem. Also i forgot to mention the time is missing in the notification bar?? It showed it in green text in UOT why doesn't it show up?
Probably because you set your time color the same as your status bar color

You can't change the color of the time in UOT Kitchen only the date I would maybe make the status bar green and your icons black.
And you can cook the twframework-res.apk and make your own drop down menu. Only change the status bar in uot kitchen and you will have to unzip it and rename it back to twframework-res.apk copy it then replace it in system/framework.

Does anyone know what file I need to edit to make the notification drop down more transparent? I'm running Embryo 3.2, and I believe that it's one of the framework files from the S3 launcher, but I'm not sure which one.
I want to make some edits to customize it more for my own liking.
An additional question...does anyone know the color code for ICS Blue?
Anyone? This is really driving me nuts. I'm looking through all of the files that I think have the right PNGs in them, and I see some that seem to fit the right names/images, though I wish I knew which ones controlled which images. Some look like they should, in terms of the filename, but don't match what I'm seeing...
I miss the old days
Surely the S2 forums contain an answer, I would imagine at least.
It's not the usual system ui, tw, and framwork res huh?

It might be, but I can't seem to find the right files. For example, the only close PNG I see is nowhere near what I see on my own phone. With the presence of those 3 files (and perhaps more) I don't know which one I should edit.
Its in the xml's

XML is what declares color and transparancy of status bar if memory serves its been that way on most phones for a long time

Not looking to theme the status bar itself, just the notification dropdown and the icons on the status bar.
On my Droid 1, you had to edit the Services.jar if you wanted to change the color of the status bar itself, but it was a simple png edit within framework-res.apk if you wanted to change the dropdown color/transparency or any of the icons up there (signal, wifi, etc).
That's correct I misinterpreted what you were trying to do that's my bad
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
You need to be looking in SystemUI. apk, that's where notification drop down background and quick panel icons live.
Btw, there are many duplicates, original ics and tw versions.
the colour of notification bar and status bar in stock rom is black, but i really like a white colour like miui, anyone also like it?
seems the way to change the colour is recompile the SystemUI.apk which may be difficult, i am looking for a app can customize, but no result.
appreciate if anyone can recommend.
You cant with compile/decompile. Because you need to change .smali values and they not support transparency. You can put gray 80% transparent, or blue. But its allways 80,90% transparent and it looks ugly when you have notification, it requires more changing so all is transparent.
EDIT: you can make statusbar transparent with little more effort, but its possible, there are some guides on forum.
