I've seen some people posting pictures of their home screens and noticed they changed the look of their notification bar at the top (have different icons for signal strength, data network, battery, etc). How exactly do you change the look of the notification bar, and is it called 'notification bar' that is being changed?
Thanks.
ya notification bar or task bar or status bar. whichever is correct.
those are called mods that people use to change the battery and data signals. if you look into the themes and apps forum you should be able to find something you like.
The icons can also be changed using the UOT Kitchen online.

Does a working transparent notification bar/ drop down menu exist?

Yes many. Here is a post I made for the new Power control with 4G themed. It has a transparent dropdown and a semi(top half) transparent task bar background.

I was curious if I can actually put my name on the Status Bar, and it's always visible, not just when I pull it down.
You mean where it says Verizon Wireless?

If you know how to code/understand smali and baksmali you could possibly do it. If you modify the status bar png you could do it, but then it'll overlap your existing icons, looking like crap.
CM7 there is an apk that'll let you change the Verizon Wireless in the pull down to whatever you want, but that's only in the pull down notification window.

try the app "ccname" if rooted.
With the new MIUI update it displays your carrier name in the status bar if there are no notifications. With Change Carrier Name you can change it to whatever you wish and have it stay in the status bar.
I used CCname. I don't understand any of that lol. Very basic stuff that I understand. CM7 doesn't display the carrier in the status bar always. So I can only have it when I pill the bar down. I figured I couldn't have it always there. Just seeing if anybody had any apk that could do it.

Is there a way i can remove certain icons in statusbar, like the signal bars using rootexplorer? I currently dont have service thru tmobile so the bars are just annoying and taking up space in my statusbar.

Only if you edit the apk that contains the icons and make the PNGs all transparent...
MIUI let's you change it via the extended settings. Not sure about regular cm7.
AOKP makes it easy to mod the color of the status bar clock. The audio features in CM10/skyjb are too good to leave for the one feature.
Without installing a status bar app, or compiling a tweaked systemui.apk, is there a good way to change the color of the clock in the status bar?
@seanzscreams, is this something you can work in to the builds?
