Are you rooted? If you are just install a transparant SE home, otherwise you could try another launcher from the market, (Launcher pro and Go launcher are the best imo)
I'm not rooted, yet... I've downloaded go launcher, works perfect! Thnx 4 the advice, didn't know about this app....

Do you also know if there's a way to make the top black bar transparent? Then I mean the black bar where the battery icon and the clock is... I'd like to see my wallpaper there as well...

Without root you cannot do that, you need to edit the framework-res.apk but you can set go launcher to be full screen, so you dont see the taskbar when you using the launcher
Got it! Thnx a lot! Hope to root my play tonight or the coming days...! Then I'll try the other method you mentioned...

i guess he is talking about dock
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering.....
I don;t really wanna use an aftermarket launcher, so is there a way to mod my own home.apk to have JUST a clear bottom tray??
I already have a UOT theme, and I don;t wanna have to mess that up, but would love to have the ICS button in the middle, and it be clear under it.
Thanx in advance, I know I can trust the people of the XDA XPlay forum
Open up the home.apk and delete the image which looks like the grey background in the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder and then replace the image which looks like the middle button with an ICS one... OR you can just replace your home.apk with the one from one of the ics themes.
You can change the color of the statusbar using Rom Toolbox [Root needed]

there are icons called "ninja" or something close that are like that. I use the totally transparent one all the time
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.

Are you taking about the battery and signal notifications?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
ADW themes only change the home and app drawer icons. You would have to install a matching theme in CWM to change the notification bar. I have a honeycomb theme installed on mine for the system and then I downloaded the ADW Honeycomb theme from the market to match.
You have to flash a theme.

Press thanks if I helped you.
cool. so this just adds the transparent notification bar, correct? like, no theme on the side?
and i read somewhere (where exactly has slipped my mind), but someone was saying that you can't use different wallpapers with a transparent notification bar. is this true? if not, i'm flashing this right away!

you can use it.
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???
I am running tehgyb's rom ( 2.3.6 ) and I want a transparent top bar but for some reason UOT never works and it always stays black. Could someone who has done it tell me how they did it please? Before anyone says " just edit it yourself ", I can't because my PC will not run Photoshop nor Inkscape or Gimp. Thank you for any help.

Just decompile systemui and edit status bar.xml
I've tried it, and am working on it, thing is a lot of apps have a gray bar where the status bar is, it gets hidden by the status bar, it looks like complete crap and is distracting. So i'm working on making that go away

I have, I have also tried three different launchers. Maybe you should include it on your next release or just go ahead and send me a systemUI with it done already.
Also, on my Optimus V running unofficial CM7.2 we just got the option of changing the color of the status bar. I do not think it is a CM7 mod either, so maybe that could be included in a update later down the road.

Yea, I have read it and the problem with that is that I cannot install the java SDK or the Android SDK and apktool does not run properly. I am on a 7 year-old E-Machinces PC with a 1.2 processor and 512 MB of Ram. I cannot run half the programs I need to do this kind of stuff. I had a friend try your guide and others for me and the result was the same- not transparent. Thank you for your help anyway.
