How can I change my icons at the top? I keep trying to us the UOT kitchen to change them, and all of them change except the 4G icon. How the hell do I change it without changing my ROM. I prefer the stock ROM, but to get rid of those bright ass green icons I might be willing to change. lol Any suggestions or know of an icon pack that I can use to get some different icons? I like the Honeybread ones that are in the UOT Kitchen.

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.
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

PLANNED FUTURE CHANGES:
power controls in the notification bar
themed htc widgets
This theme has only been tested running the newest azreal rom based on the 3.70 ota. But should work with any 3.70 rom.
I'm not responsible if u turn your lovely evo into a paper weight
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?
FIXED

2.2 requires an .xml edit in the services.jar to allow transparency in the notification background.

Thank you, thats what i was thinking. So i guess i will go poke around in the service.jar. Themeing the evo/2.2 is way more involved then 2.1/other phones
Looks good, can't wait... Thanks
Looks pretty sweet. My chick would love this on her evo

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.
Oh, nice clock, by the way... if you are going to use my clock, can you please use my download link instead, thanx.
you want power widgets with custom themed pulldown backgrounds and pulldown bars hit me up...

What!!!!! your asking me to give away my trade secrets? Just Kidding!!!! In gimp right click png go to image=mode=switch to RGB mode. Now u should be set to change color.
Also quick note Not sure if u know but the signal bars are actually in the com.htc.resources.apk and are named cdma_sys_6signal_X
I did not know that's where they were. Thanks I am going to give that a try.

Thanks. Worked great. Now my next question is where is the location and location off png I have checked all pngs and can't find it ,, I could be overlooking it but does any one know the correct file to look in ?? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe what u are looking for is the gps pngs and it is in the com.htc.resources.apk and the pngs are sym_gpsone_3_sprint for gps off and sym_gpsone_0_sprint for gps on
Figured I'd take my first stab at Framework mods in the form of Battery Icons!!!
Alright, with all I've been seeing about Honeycomb recently I decided to go with a hexagon shape as the base.
Did some searching, but it seems you cannot make a flashable file to change png's inside a .apk? would love for someone to prove me wrong there. Soo here are the .png files for you to change em yourself.
Lemme know what you think.
Black Notification Bar
White-on-Green
Black-on-White
White Notification Bar
White-on-Black
Radial-White-on-Black
Taking requests for other colors.
Second Set
More Battery Icons
Nice work.
Doh! now I find the 10% increment mod... looks like its time to start over...
Thank you
For this sharing this
I just installed the MIUI Gingerbread ROM and have been playing around with it. It started out that the Signal and 3g icons were white and the all of a sudden changed to green. Green does not go with the theme I am trying to create and can't figure out what changed to make them go green. Any know how I can get them blue or back to white.
They change green when you have a direct connection to Google's servers. It's a Gingerbread feature.
If you're creating a theme, I assume you're familiar with the MIUI theme system. The icons you need to change are in the SystemUI apk (com.android.systemui). You need to change the stat_sys_data_ files, the stat_sys_signal_ files and the stat_sys_wifi_signal_ files to whatever colors will match your theme.
If you just want the stock icons to be a different color, either use photoshop or gimp to adjust the colors.
If you want them to stay white, just copy over all the "fully" pngs with the corresponding file without "fully" in the file name.
Thanks a lot I finally was able to get them to blue to match everything else!
Does anyone know how to change the notification bar colour from black to white?
Do you mean the regular emui notification bar? It adapts to the background image you set, so just set a brighter image or edit your current background to include a white bar at the top, though that would look a bit ugly.
If you mean the background when you pull the notification bar down, then you should have a look at custom emui themes, or even make your own somehow.
No i meant the actual expanded notification bar as the black doesn't work well with most apps and huawei uses black font as well when displaying notifs. I only think huawei themes work with stock launcher? And i use nova... Thanks anyway
I think the themes work everywhere, no matter what launcher (at least the notification bar part should). Not all themes include a modified notification bar though, so I think you could try one that definitely does change the notification bar and see it works for you in Nova launcher as well.
I'm attaching a theme I know for sure features a different notification bar for you to try. I also know it's terribly ugly but it's just for testing purposes, once you confirm that it does change the notification bar color for you, we could start disassembling the theme to only take out the interesting parts and adapt them to a different theme after changing the image from greenish to something more white-ish
PS. I had to change the extension to .zip for the board to accept the attachment, please change it to .hwt after you download it and move it into "/sdcard/HWThemes" so the theme manager can find it.
