Finally getting Redemption to where I want it after a few days of tinkering. The last two things on my list are Handcent themes and wallpapers and the notification bar power widget thingy. Not sure what its called. I found a thread where it was made for RR v2.3, but it has green on indicators and I dont like that. I want it just your standard black/white icons and on/off indicators. Anyone know where I might find such things?

I am going to start working on a CM-Froyo-Theme for when Google finally decides to drop the source and we get some blue bubblegum flavored Froyo.
I want some community suggestions as to what you would like to see in it.
Tell me about colors, Icons, etc.
Notification Bar?
Launcher?
Just post it. I am going to start working next week as school is over for me. I will incorporate the best Ideas from you guys.
- Black notification bar with KSpec like battery icon, maybe in Cyan, and with the battery percentage remaining in the center.
- Black and shiny pop up prompt windows and notification pull down.
- 7 space power control widget with cyan colored dots (instead of bars)
- I like launcher Pro, but have not tried ADW and that seems to be fairly popular. I personally like the non-3D app drawer. 5x4 icon setup on home screen is nice too.
- I like when you pull down the notification bar that is says notifications at the bottom.
- Maybe some transparent widgets
- Lots of wallpaper choices
- Lots of ringtones etc.
Looking forward to see what you come up with, even if it doesn't include any of the above.
Also a launcher pro fan. Some other guy has some super nice dialer that is a simplistic white which I really liked. It is on a desire rom. I am a fan of the more minimalistic kind of themes personally.
Glad to see you are starting early. Will try to add some actually useful comments tomorrow when I get up...
The pull down notification transparency can be found here

And the status bar can be found here

I am only making this thread because alot of people want these two mods and it seems as if not too many people can find these easily.
I hope this helps someone.
the status bar link you posted doesnt work very well. for any launcher other than stock unmodified sense (which very few people use), the transparency only works half the time, and it is most often just blackbar. also, the images look all pixelated, something the guy who released those never fixed (but he said he would). but the pulldown transparency works fine. hopefully someone released an updated status bar transcenparency .zip soon
Sorry man ive only use the pull down zip.
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.

I flashed this ROM last week and love it but have encountered a small problem. When I get a notification in the notification area, sometimes the text is black. The problem there is that the background is black. For instance, my CNN app sends news alerts and today I couldn't read it because black on black.
Is there anything I can do within this theme or ROM to rectify this issue?
Thanks!
Check to see CNN app settings if you change notification text color in it. This is more of an app based issue, and not ROM based. Looks like the CNN app is for ROMs with white status bars.
I'd recommend a different theme.. EXPERIMENT has some excellent ones... You could always make your own theme in the uot kitchen if you're not happy with your current one...
Side note: Diablo it's nice to have you back dude.. missed you.
i don't know if this is just me or what. i try to flash battery percentage hack ( ics themed ) and it turned zeus green-ish to blu-ish now. and loved it . ha
