Hello, hopefully this easy an easy question but I just rooted and installed CM6 last night, loving Chrome to Phone and some of the other froyo goodness. Just not feeling the off white status bar/ notifications area. Is there a simple way to change this, not really interested in a full theme with icons and all that if it isnt necessary.
Thanks
If you just want a solid black background, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Notifications colors and scroll down to "Custom notification bar". From there you can choose any color you want. It may require a reboot to take effect.
Exactly what I was needing, thank you
Haven't used cyanogen since I had my g1, second android phone since then lol

I've tried this, set it for black and rebooted, but the status bar is still white. The Bar Color setting shows a solid black circle in the middle with a hex value of #ff00000, but the status bar is still black characters on a white bar. Am I doing this wrong?
Black is
#000000
White is
#ffffff
what you posted above is nothing.... but you might have typed a few too many 0 on it... if so then ff0000 is red.
Black bar and Sense Icons
If you are interested and are running CM6 test 8. and have s-off. Here is a metamorph I made today for the sense status bar and icons, and the sense app icons.

Sorry for the necropost, but would this work on a Hero running CM6?

After you get hte color you want you have to press the cirle in the center, if you hit back it wont apply. but it will remember hte selection you made. I had that same problem

Hi I was just wondering how to I change the Status bar from black to white.. also the signal , battery and etc icons?
Which APK do we have to change because i thiknk its diffrent from froyo
I changed the "status_background" in ninjamorph and I kept getting FC's
Depending on the screen type, lighter coloured bars can cause burn-in over time. Personally i'm glad to finally be running Gingerbread, and a black bar, before this could happen to my phone.

I've been searching around for the white notification bar for CM7 and haven't have had any of luck. And I don't wanna go back to CM6 just for a theme. Anyone know where or how I can get it?

The thing is, you do technically have the vanilla bar with CM7. As of Gingerbread (as far as I know) the stock notification bar IS black.
Now, in CM6, there were options to change the color of the notification bar. Since CM7 is still in beta, there's a chance you might see that feature in RC2 or in the final version.
I am using Sky's ICS for the Skyrocket SG2. Ive flashed the latest update for the ROM and have a second, what seems to be, a status bar underneath the regular status bar, with just a battery icon. I can't seem to find whatever program is running that app to turn it off. Anyone know what or how to shut off that status bar?
Its battery status bar. TO remove it dload the battery bar.apk and you can remove it using the app.

I installed the battery bar.apk and went into the app. All it had was to hide the white battery bar at the top. I went through all the settings in the app and can't seem to find an option to remove the battery status bar =\.
it s the first option on the app where it says show battery bar just uncheck the box.

Yah that The "show battery bar" check box just hides the white bar at the very top of my phone. I'd post a picture but the forum won't let me =\. But yah its a battery bar UNDER the regular status bar.
So you got rid of it rite and the solution worked if it did hit that thnx button it helps to know someone appreciate the info.

Uh no it didn't fix the problem. I think there is a slight miscommunication somewhere here. I am having issues with the battery under my original status bar. It doesn't seem to be related with the battery bar mod. The battery bar mod seems to control the white bar up top which I already knew how to alter. It's this one that is right under my regular status bar. I'd post a pic but it requires that I not suck and have more than 8 post lol.
What is the problem with that battery icon?

I want it to go away. It's kinda redundant. I have the circle battery already I don't need a second battery icon underneath is =\
if your using sky ics rom with ics launcher then go hit menu then launcher settings then launcher status bar settings and uncheck show status bar (launcher)
Should take care of it.
OMG thank you! that fixed it! +1 thanks really appreciate it

I use xposed+gravity box on stock rom which lets you change the color of both status and nav bars. However, I'm not sure about making it app specific.

After a research on google, I found xposed download "Tinted Status Bar" it is in beta stage and it works on exlir rom for me. This what I'm looking for.
Sorry, I wasted a thread. I researched this after I posted a thread about status/nav bar changes.
