[Q]Transparent Status Bar!? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hey fellow neighbors(as we are a community) lol. Is there anyway to get a transparent, smoked, or a custom colored status bar? I'm asking for the status bar, and not the notification scroll down. If it is possible, it would be greatly appreciated if you comment or pm me on how to do it. Or if it really easy and simple. Can you possibly post some kind of flashable zip. I'm on ICBINB froyo with sweet acid theme. Thanks guys!

you can mdify one in uto kitchen or take out the file out of your framework and use photoshop or any other grapic editor and make it yourself just use the origonal as a blueprint also make sure your layer is a transparency and not solid to make it see though
i use photoshop or gimp depening on linux or windows

100% Transparent Home is possible ?

Dear Developers,
Good day to you.
Presently I am using Mr. Twolf's 3d rotational clock in my home. For nice background look, weather area disturbs. I like my home to be look like fully transparent. ( clock, weather, slide bar).
or
weather area, can you please make transparent - for full background viewing ?. I have attached my screenshot here.
Really thanking you for your innovations.

Hello, should be possible......look in this thread......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723
... I think this works!?
1. At first disable TouchFlo in Settings/Today.
2. Then copy the 3 png's included in my zip
to Windows folder and overwrite existing files.
3. Restart your device and enable TouchFlo again.
Please tell me if it works correctly.

Overwrite? Surely, backing the original images up first would be a smart bit of advice to add
Thank you brothers
Dear Mr. Mielnoir,
Thank you for your help. I have attached my screenshots here.
It is better than before. Anyway , for me, it will be best, when there is no background shade (box shade) for clock & weather.
I am expecting your help.
Dear Mr. Frank,
Thanks for the thread help. I am looking now.
Thank you.
Dear Mr. UPPY,
Thanks for your advice. I already back up my theme by using M2D Customizer.

Hmm, the semi-transparent weather widget looks nice...thanks for the picture..... going to do that tonight aswell....
and see you have invisible top bar......
?
i don't know why looks like Yours? normally there should
be no glossy background.
all png's are empty pictures.
Good remark.....standard weather widget is a bit transparent.....but not as much as on pictures imo....
Thank you Dears
Thank you Dears.
Mr. Mielnoir,
Actually, while copying of your files to windows folder, windows denied to overwrite. I think I have to use 'Total Commander'.
Anyway Now I changed my theme, which is designed by Mr. Antonda.
Also I have used Mr. Johan's black theme. I have attached my screenshot here.
THANK YOU MR. MIELNOIR, MR. ANTONDA, MR. JOHAN, MR.TWOLF, and MR.FRANK
Theme looks great and indeed for overwriting files in windows folder use total commander.......

TouchFlo (Manilla) transparent program slide bar
Hi Guys,
Can you help me with a solution to make my MEGA bottom bar and slide transparent ?
I modified hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png and hh_fw_tabbtn.png to be transparent, but the result on MEGA is a black :-(
I've tried Transparant Bottom Bar.cab, same result.
I've tried NoCurtains.cab, no changes.
Thanks for helping.
Hello, think I went the same route as you...tried them all but no succes.....since most solutions described are for other devices....there is a very nice tool for the HD2.....it let's you do exactly what we want ......but can not be applied to QVGA result is you will hard reset your device....
I give you the thread anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
So my answer would be: not possible at the moment.....I also looked at other HTC forums btw......
Oh forgot to tell you...I managed to get the slider transparent...but that does not look nice in relation with the slider bar because the icons are not on the same height.....
Update transparent slider bar
Reading through this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723 saw that there are themes which do not have a transparent slider bar but people skinned their bar exactly as to the corresponding background of the theme so it looks transparent......
Don't know how to do that......but you can give it a try.....

this works great for the hometab. but wehen you slide to another tab the background of the slider slides also. if your wallpaper is unicolor is this area this is a solution for you.

I feel like "cheating" a little bit ;-)

Indeed....I also wanted a transparent slider bar but having read everything think I abstain from it. Unless there comes a genius who can make a tool like that of the HD2......

What rom do you use? And what lockscreen do you use?
Because some of the icons that the task bar uses is inside the same thing that the lockscreen uses. (im pretty sure) So when changing the taskbar, it will change your lockscreen. All the other stuff is simple, just delete rosie.apk and dialer.apk and so on and rezip the file.
What about this one.. and just delete the rosie.apk

not if you just change the png.

It would have to be a MetaMorph then, as the taskbar elements are spread across the same files that contain the rosie and the vanilla lockscreen elements.
Why not just take an existing one and replace the roise and lockscreen graphics with the ones you want?

It wouldnt look right, the icons are big black boxes that blend with the taskbar. Make it white and you have big black box icons with a white taskbar. And you would have to change the color of the time.

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.

[MOD] Transparent Enabled Notification/Statusbar Sprint OTA 4.22

Hey gang!
I was perusing the Themes and Apps Section for the Evo 4g and noticed a couple trends. A lot of the themes and mods are for the ports of late, which is awesome! But I know some of you are very happy with the Sense 1.0 with GB that we've received recently (OTA 4.22). While I prefer the Sense 2.1 with GB Roms myself, I want to provide mods and themes for all sorts of stuff. The other trend I noticed was that a few flashers wanted transparency. Everyone loves transparency, right? With Gingerbread, as many devs and themers have found out, theming is much more ingrained in dex code than previous issues of Android OS. No worries, there are some smart cookies floating around.
Well, I just wanted to upload this for the folks out there who would like to start theming or want to incorporate transparent Statusbar and Notification Area but are not quite familiar with smali/baksmali and xml editing. I have uploaded deodex and odex versions of the mod.
Here is exactly what I did in general terms.
used baksmali to decompile the SystemUI.odex
edited two lines in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali"
used smali to compile the smali folder back to classes.dex
made the statusbar 100% transparent (just for sample purposes, ie it can any level of transparency, not necessarily clear) but PhotoShopping "statusbar_background" in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
used apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk
made the notifications text white instead of black by editing values
made the notification area a transparent black instead of stock white
I think that is all that I did...
This little mod was by request and I can't guarantee that everything is 100%. I should also note that the ROM I used to was xHausx's stock odex rom as found HERE. Thanks xHAUSx! I figure this one would be as stock as it gets, and also the requester is using this ROM.
Let me know how it goes. I do not to take credit for actually coming up with the mod for transparency for Gingerbread. That smali hack should be credited to KBanause. What I did was make it work for the Evo and also inverted the text color a little bit. I also do not take credit for broken devices. Please Nandroid.
Sorry for the long post!
Deodex download
Odex Download
Thanks Tom, I will let you know how things go.

Well...it works, and it looks nice on my home screen, but the white icons and stuff make it impossible to read the notification bar in some apps like gmail. Still cool though
p.s. This was on Fresh 4.1.1.0 btw
Would it be difficult to make it play nice with this status bar mod? The only thing that remains after flashing your mod over his is the battery percentage. Thanks in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127475
Hey guys. I'm sorry but I do not use this ROM, and thus it will be difficult for me to make mods for it.
I only wanted to release this so peeps can do it with their flavor. Maybe one of the other themers who use this Rom like rydah can fill these requests.
I do however, agree with the white icons being too white.

Love the mod. We just need the status bar up top solid black while having the dropdown transparent. I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with . I'm good with xmls not smalis.

Let me ask you. What Rom are you using? Also, if you using stock Rom, you're likely on 4.24 ota. This was made for 4.22.
I've had same issue btw. A full restart worked for me.

I'm using MikG which is using 4.24 OTA. It's Sense 2.1 so I guess no go. What would be the best way to replicate your theme? I know how to replace the background png but I don't know how to edit scripts or anything for the font color change.

MikG is not based on OTA. It is based in Evo shift ota which had sense 2.1.
Go to themikmik.com and you will find this mod in several themes.
