I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the status bar on the Nexus S displayed during the movie rental presentation was a bit different than normal ones?

This is the best picture I can find until they post the keynote online, but there's a dark colored gradient on the left portion of the status bar and the wifi icon has been reduced in size and now has a second set of bars. It may look like an artifact in the image but it'll be obvious if you watch that part of the keynote again. I will try to get a screencap when google posts the full keynote online.
Wonder if this is something that'll show up in the next update, or is that wifi icon something I've missed in 2.3.4?
It's Ice Cream!
Pretty sure the gradient you mention is just a UI flourish that will be in Ice Cream Sandwich and other hybrid tablet/phone apps. You can see it on the new Music Beta you can grab from the market.
As for the icons, I noticed them as well. I'm pretty sure it's just a NS4G, and that icon you think is WiFi is actually "4G"/WiMax signal. I haven't seen a NS4G in person yet, but I'd wager that's what it is.
That is the 4g icon.

The only reason it interested me is thus far, the status bar has always been solid black, so my first thought was that they might be making it transparent..
I got excited for it being 2.4 but I'm assuming the status bar icons would be changed to match 3.0's color scheme, unless they still plan on differentiating the two by color schemes.

I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:

}
Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )
Hey guys...
I'm well versed in Photoshop and have worked on themes/skins for so many other things. Since I own an X10, I figured it might be time to start dipping my toes in the water.
That being said, I seem to have lost the link I had with explicit instructions for changing the framework file. If someone would be willing to point me in the right direction, I can get started converting my mockup into an actual theme to be used. Thanks to _calum_ for consolidating the information!
Here's a sneak peek

Update
Here's a screenshot with the new notification icons hard at work! I'll get started on the rest of the stuff soon. I'm looking to get an alpha version out for testing next week some time
Here you go...
Looking good keep us posted.
Keep us posted looks gooooood!

Looking good, don't forget change horrible icons made by SE! Courage!
Just a quick update...
Thanks to the wonderful guides around this forum, I have successfully changed the notification bar background, most of the icons in the notification bar (except the battery and signal icons). Everything seems to be going smoothly
Updated
Looking cool....waiting for the alpha release....
Fancy posting that link in here guys? I've been all over looking for that post :-(

Has this project died out?
I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.
Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!

Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
something like this should be possible:
lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.
My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!
Updated via OTA last night. Everything was working ok. Go to make a phone call just now, and here's my screen:

Rebooting the phone brought the Notification Bar back.
Glad to see you got it back. That also happend to me.

I have been using Android since Version 1.0 and the G1 and have NEVER seen the Notification Bar disappear before.
Also, the issue off the previous screen flashing on for a second instead of the lock screen when the phone comes out of sleep is still there.
Did LG/T-Mobile ever even test this OTA?
So it's a big deal?
That's what she said...
And speaking of the notification bar, I suppose it's trifle in this day and age of our smart phones to ***** but I would really like to have the "green" back on the notification bars.

So go fix it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15868610&postcount=2
I've re-released my Real Signal application. It was popular about a year ago because of the signal bar issues with the Droid Incredible.
Its a good app for monitoring your high/low signals, getting stats on what signal bar you're using most of the time as well as an adjustable bar scale you can set to your liking.
Give it test run, let me know how it works out!
Thanks!
