http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/7973-transparent-status-bar-shade-rooted-droid.html
Is transparent black then?
I will try this as I want my notification Bar black too.
No transparent is not black. But the guide there tells you how to change it. It's task that takes 5 minutes of editing in Gimp/PS (took me 5 mins in Photoshop).
Ah - photoshop is out of my league!
I think uot must have the option, I'll add it to list of things to do when I get back home!

It will not work with uot. You need to manually modify the files as said in the thread there. Otherwise keep on with white on stock rom.

Have you searched inside these files? I don't have the stock ROM and I can only guide you "blindly". There should be a "status_bar*.png" set of files; use search as these are inside subfolders, a few levels below the root folder.

hi alex, i found there only this file "status_bar_header_background.9.png"
and this is a black one
I also think there must be another way. when I start the phone, the status bar is indeed black, then yes it changes to white after use. you should be able to prevent just that the color changes! I though the picture alters the change will take place anyway, and then the font color is still dark and therefore not to read

Wanted to spice up my DX today so I mad my own custom boot animation. I used my avatar for the one I'm using but decided to do some alternates. Here is a Green spinning android version. I will add other colors as well.

Here is a youtube video of the bootup. Please forgive the crappy video. Will make a better one soon.
MUST BE ROOTED
The easiest way to install this is to use Root Explorer. Download the file and rename to bootanimation.zip. Copy the file and navigate to system/media. Change the permissions to R/W by clicking the button in the top right. Rename the existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. Then paste the file in this directory. Change permission back to R/O. Reboot and enjoy the show.
Will be adding more colors soon. Put in your request.

I actually used Photoshop to make the icon. Then I used a program called Boris Red to make it 3D and spin.

It would be very cool too if you could make it pick up speed. What I mean by tha is have it start spinning faster and faster as it boots up...

probably easiest to add the transitions to the framework-res from here. or just use the script. the cool thing about using the script is that it should work on top of any modification or theme already applied to the device.
Will this work with the newest build of CM7 or no??

setup a linux install with adb.(covered elsewhere) connect evo to computer with a usb cable. open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted the script. type "./theme.sh" without quotes. press enter key.

You need to decompile the apk's with apk manager (need adb installed) then, in the decompiled apk, open it and go to /system/res/drawable-hdpi (or mdpi, if it's that), and look for the icon in there.
Easier way....copy those apps whose icons you want to change to your hard drive. change extensions from .apk to .zip and then go the /system/res/drawable-hdpi as mentioned above.

how did you change the battery icon in the notification bar???
Thank you, very easily. Just go to uot.dakra.lt/ and follow the guide (HOW TO).
Basically you have to: chose the mod you like (not all of them works though - I've succeeded with battery, icons:emoticons and status bar (but not power buttons), popup, fonts (but not windows animations) and upload your: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, twframework-res.apk.* Kitchen will do everything for you. GO to PICKUP to receive your zip and flash it with cwm.
*You can get them with root explorer or via adb:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Hi, guys.
You could update the background image yourself, and your phone should be rooted.
LGSystemUI.apk has been moved to /system/priv-app folder in kitkat.
1. Do a backup (full backup in recovery it recommended, at least LGSystemUI.apk itself) before your change the file.
2. Copy /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk to your computer.
3. Extract the replacement images from Black.zip, files are in vrtheme\system\app\LGSystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi .
4. Open LGSystemUI.apk with winrar/7zip, but do not extract it.
5. In winrar/7zip, navigate to \res\drawable-xxhdpi, drag replacement images into it, to replace stock ones.
6. I only replaced stat_sys_indi_bg.png , to make notification bar black in normal view (when not pulled down). It's enough for me, you could choose what you want.
7. Do zipalign at last, check this tool if you don't have sdk-tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385846 .
8. Copy moded LGSystemUI.apk back to phone, maybe folder / first, after change owner/group to root/root, and permission to 644, then move to /system/priv-app to replace .
9. Reboot, your notification bar should be black.
