IS there any way to change color of the statusbar, or make him % transparent?
It would be cool to see statubar with inversed colors. (white color with black icons)
You could try Ninja Morph:

I know it can be used to make a transparent status bar. I just don't know if it works on the TF. I haven't used it for a while, and when I did it was on my EVO. According to the market, it is compatible with the TF. It might be worth a shot.

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.

this is exactly what i was looking for!
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.
i`ve ported a simple black bar from other theme sources (thx for let me steal the images ) for CM-5.0.7-T2-N1.
use it only with CM-5.0.7-T2-N1! will not work with "15 recent apps mod"!
i`ve also done a default white bar update.zip if you want to revert.
install: flash from recovery
black bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Black_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
default white bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Default_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for it since 507T2 was unleashed.
It's been bugging me and I've not had time to work out how to do it myself.
Much appreciated.
Any chance you could do this over again and have green highlights/selections like desire with the same black bar?
I had the Kspec Monster theme on and I love the desire effects but it had the standard greyish notification bar.
I don't know how to fix it up myself and I tried once and got stuck in bootloop!
Thanks.
Batttery meter needs aligning if using with kspecs battery icons..
some notifications from apps (for example quick settings) in the "ongoing" pull down section have black font. black font on black background is not quite readable.^^
all other notifications in the pull down section are white, only the third party apps notifications have black font.
does anybody know where to change this font color?
hmmm, the black font in some notifications is a problem with black item backround.
so i changed status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png to default white and focus and pressed to desire green. updated version with screenhot in first post.
I use this great transparent manila slider and I really like the slim frame around the active icon - however the background is not transparent, which I would like.
Unfortunately I don't remember who made this, but all credits to him anyway.
Pic 1: The slider looks great when there is a black background.
Pic 2: The slider background is not transparent.
I'd really like this slider with 50% and 100% transparent background. Any one can help?
Kind regards,
Anders
Moved as not theme release.
Hi...
A question??
How i can change the background Color / from browser.apk ??
I have a transparent statusbar, and when i run the browser is the status bar white.
as the name of the browser background in the framwork-res is file?
thanks for reply
Greetings

i doubt that it is in framework-res.apk
check browser.apk and i don't think that it will be a .png. I am pretty sure its a .xml file you will have to edit.
that just looks like a bad status bar background PNG within the framework-res.apk.. (thats just for the dodgy lookin status background with the android pic) not sure about the very top bar thing
When ever you make status bar background transparent, not only browser other apps like market will make kind of ugly look on the notification bar.
This is because behind the transparent notification bar these items operates. since notification bar is transparent you will see it. for instance , if you have semi transparent black notification bar, you will see ugly gray outcome. that a side-effect..
Go and edit framework-res.apk / res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_backgroundxxx.png
and make it solid.
Hope this is what you are looking for.............
I think the background for the status bar while in the browser is the web page you are viewing at the time.
So if you view a dark page it should look ok. Give your Google a dark theme and see..
You could do like Shiwantha said and make it solid or just make it less transparent and more opaque.

I have installed a white theme that i really like but now the text from status bar can't be seen as it is also white. Is there any way without root to change text colour or background? Changing the theme picture top could also be an option if i could find it and paint it dark but it's downloaded from theme store. Can it be found and be modified?
Did you find a way around this?
I once had an app called super status bar installed. It doesn't affect the original status bar (because AFAIK that's not possible without root) - but it replaces it completely and you can customize it then freely.
There are probably several other status bar replacement apps on the Play Store too, there should be something fitting for you.
