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

Hi I was just wondering how to I change the Status bar from black to white.. also the signal , battery and etc icons?
Which APK do we have to change because i thiknk its diffrent from froyo
I changed the "status_background" in ninjamorph and I kept getting FC's
Depending on the screen type, lighter coloured bars can cause burn-in over time. Personally i'm glad to finally be running Gingerbread, and a black bar, before this could happen to my phone.

I've been searching around for the white notification bar for CM7 and haven't have had any of luck. And I don't wanna go back to CM6 just for a theme. Anyone know where or how I can get it?

The thing is, you do technically have the vanilla bar with CM7. As of Gingerbread (as far as I know) the stock notification bar IS black.
Now, in CM6, there were options to change the color of the notification bar. Since CM7 is still in beta, there's a chance you might see that feature in RC2 or in the final version.
I would post this in the Audiophile thread, but I don't have 10 posts yet. Is there a way to change the clock color on the status bar in UOT? Whenever I open the stock browser, the clock disappears (white status bar, white text). Or can I maybe change the status bar to black and still retain the notification theme? Not sure what the best fix is for this.
The best option would be to change the notification bar color to black to fix this.
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.
