i have seen many "glass" statusbar and other transparent ones, however, they are not fully transparent as they still have this rectangular shape to it at the top of the screen, also, the signal strength still has its own black background
would someone kindly make a morph that would enable a fully transparent status bar, with the icons found in desire notification bar?
and when a pull down is done, the bar turns black and the pull down background is also black transparent like the nextheme?

- fully transparent will make any white text unreadable when there is an app with a white background like the browser running.
- there are signal strength morphs with a transparent bg. check the morphs thread
you could just take the desire status bar morph and make the status bar background image transparent...

i thought of that, but i didnt find a morph that only applies transparency to my current status bar
try this one. As I said above there are serious limitations when its 100% trans.

thank you!
i see what you mean with this limitations, i,e with the browser!
if only there is a way to make the status bar respond differently with apps with different backgrounds.

Can you compile a theme that is not 100% clear, but something like 90% -
Looks like the Glass Status Bar - i've tried downloading the Glass status bar a few times but it does not work for me on Cyanogen 5.0.6 - AT ALL.
one time it even crash my rom so bad i had to nand restore!
Thanks,
Guy.
You can try it with the newest metamorph version. cyanogen rom makes a bit troubles by patching the framework-res.
Stericson has made an option in his app, that allows us, to apply the morphs not too fast.
I don't know why, but on mcr roms its easier to make metamorphs.

When download your Glass Status Bar i got the error with
"he theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing.........." - i have the latest metamorph from market,
What am I doing wrong?
Then you have renamed the *.zip file I think. (Or it's renamed by your download manager)
The name of zip file AND the *xml file must be the same or you get the error.
Before applying the morph, press menu and choose a not so speedy value.
Blue Theme designed from/for THE NEW GUY v4.
THE BLUE GUY!
THE BLUEGUY v2
I made The New Guy v4 my daily driver, so i decided to theme it to MY liking, and i LIKE BLUE!
I took the original theme format Credit to the original themers!(though i dont know who they are) moddified it and added some of my own tweeks.
Changes include:
Blue Icons on Rosie dock
Blue Circle battery
Blue Signal Bars
Blue accents to status icons (will be editing more icons soon)
BLUE frame when moving icons on homescreens!!
All framework highlights BLUE (removed all green)
Removed GPS location icon (the crosshairs)
Themed HTC CLOCK Widget
Themed HTC Calendar Widget
Themed HTC Settings Widgets (hotspot , wifi, bluetooth, etc)
Themed MARKET APP(Vending.apk)
Themed GMAIL.apk
Themed stock MMS.apk
Themed Settings.apk
(I attempted to remove/replace all Green from regularly seen/used Apps)
SEE SCREEN SHOTS BELOW...
Its come to my attention that the clockwidget theme may not apply.. please reboot, then reapply the individual item if that happens. Should fix it!
UPDATE!!!
V2 is up, Thanx to Hatman... Ive added several images to the theme, aswell as HTCCamera.apk. Ive also fixed a few items that i noticed. More to come...

i havent flashed it yet but i know that with these new evo based framework roms, any little modd could mess up the animation. wich is cool if you disable it anyway, but i think that's one of the cool featers of these "evo" roms.
the theme looks sick thow... you got down on this!!!!

I did not apply any themes prior to this... Im not sure if that will affect anything, other than there may be changes in those themes that are still there, if I didnt edit them myself.
As far as the clock widget... I had to reapply it after a reboot. Im not sure why it acts this way. After the second time it worked fine... let me know it its still fuct... ill see if i can figure out why its being stubborn

You use Metamorph. Put the zip file in the AndroidTheme directory on your SDCard and then launch MM and select extract new theme. After it is extracted then select pick exsisting theme. It will only work on the OP. The ones that I posted with the exception of the clock will not work as I just posted the extra png files that I added.
FYI, im gonna get into a few more apks and make some more changes.
Ive noticed a few things here n there that could use a lil BLUE!
Rebuilt my theme from the moment http://forum.sdx-developers.com/theme-files/suave-enamored-di18-di06-and-de03-versions-updated/ for the EVO.
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.

If your still having a problem with the black text try putting the framework-res.apk in manually with root explorer!
I personally place the framework in the "overcom rom.zip" from my desktop
So maybe the cwm update is not working properly!
I dont have the text problem???
i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque
the brightness bar is cool

I'm back again and tested your update.
First tru CWM and second tru Root explorer.
Everytime i wiped the Dalvik and still the same problem.
So i did a new rom flash currently Overcome 1.6.3.
Did the same thing over again to apply your theme.
As you can see there is still a difference between your screenshot and mine.
- i got text beneath the powerbuttons
- my display brightness shows text
- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

Did not work still the same issue.
The powerbutton and display brightness text.
But the notifications text has change into white font
well.. its not a bug but the problem im having is.. for example, when i pull down the notification bar, i can see the transparent layer which is fine but the transparency or alpha value for the transparent layer is too low for my liking. i sometimes cant distinguish between the items on notification and the items in the screen below the notification transpancy layer.

if you are using adw launcher then just untick wallpaper hack under settings
or using any other launcher use multipicture live wallpaper for any wall pic you have
Ponda, this one has a pretty nice theme with it (plus transparent bar). Transparent bar works if used with Live Wallpapers (no black/opaque bar anymore!)

it only works with live wallpapers or, if i'm using adw, with wallpaper hack unchecked? since i flashed to kpe and then to kph, live wallpapers have been causing my phone to slow down at the home screens and while opening the app drawer. i'll still give it a go
i'm using clear glass theme at the moment. is there anyway to get just the transparent status bar (without the theme you mentioned)?
if u take the systemUI.apk from Version 2 and place it the already existing glass theme, the status bar will surely become transparent. but what i CAN'T say for sure is what else will be changed...battery icon, notification pulldown etc...if u wanna try it, just make sure u make a backup of systemUI.apk of the glass theme (system/apps/...) and then replace it with the systemUI.apk of this theme (Version 2). if u like the result, great. if u dont like it, just replace it again with the backup copy. as for ADW, i dont use it. search and download MULTIPICTURE LIVE WALLPAPER from the market (free version). Its a live wallpaper, but u can use ur own static wallpaper as the background (more than one)
ot it works! but now there's a bar at the top of all my apps that's a different color from everything else. oh well, trade off
multipicture wallpaper ALSO causes lag (a little on adw launcher, a lot on others). using the wallpaper thing now. i shud look into this live wallpaper lag....
thanks for the help!
LOL since the bar is now transparent, it keep changing according to the color of the app we are using i'll try the transparent bar over glass theme. Besides the bar, did anything else change?
everything about the notification bar except the battery icon changed
help? how to do this great motification bar??? the first i tried it bricked my phone and i needed to reflash
can somebody pls post a step by step procedure for this? thank in advance and may i ask if it is possible to flash in CWM the zip file???
