Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)

that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped

Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?

Ok.
So the problem is froyo

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency

Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703

Thanks Britoso.
Now I have the theme with transparent.
Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.
Also I have to investigate why It have some crash when I use metamorth for apply theme.
edit.
perfect all I want.
I have only investigate for crash when using metamorph.

Thx britoso from that other thread and xuedoxus for the app
finally got it working on my theme(frf91)

pretty cool theme!

[THEME] Black notification bar MCR FRF91 (and others?)

DISCLAIMER: I really don't know what I'm doing. I basically Frankensteined a bunch of stuff together. Please NANDROID if you try this out.
Pitch black notification bar with Desire icons, except custom battery icons which I made myself which are loosely based off of the stock icons. There's a few other Desire bars floating around in forms of morphs and with lots of other customizations. I was looking for just a simple black bar with no other mods (other than battery, because I like the stock battery icon more than the Desire one). I also wanted the pulldown to be black as well.

I can create a framework-res.apk with the Desire battery icons if someone likes that instead. Here's a screenshot of what my battery icons look like:
STEPS:
1) Nandroid
2) uninstall your custom launcher
3) adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
4) Rename services.zip to services.jar. Then adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
5) adb push Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
6) adb reboot
7) re-install your custom launcher
Theoretically, this should work with any FRF91 ROM. However if your ROM does not run on the default launcher, there may be a problem (see issues below)
How I did it (again, I really don't know what I'm doing):
adb pulled the framework-res.apk
replaced the icons within \res\drawable-hdpi\ icons from a CM5 mod by di2356 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639556) and also my own battery icons
used the services.jar and vending.apk by Know-Fear's morph to get white font on the bar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703277)
ISSUES which I do not know how to fix. Perhaps someone who likes this style of bar can help me on it.
If you use Launcher Pro, you must uninstall it, then push these files, and re-install the launcher afterwards. The launcher crashes if it exists while the framework-res is pushed and then rebooted. I don't know if other Launchers have this same effect.
The pulldown fonts need to change to white
I would prefer the pulldown background to be more transparent. Also a patterned background would be nice too. Can someone help?
The Vending.apk must be pushed, because it crashes otherwise. I don't know why, but maybe there's a way to avoid it.
Thanks to di2356 and Know-Fear because I butchered their work to put this together. I know this is a lot of effort just to have a black bar, but I like it this way and no one else has made one yet. If anyone likes this as well and can help fix the problems and/or help simplify the install, please help. Thanks.

Kameleon Dark Facebook 1.6.3 - self theming

I'm attempting to make my Kameleon Series apps be more in depth with their theming and this is what I have so far.. I had all of Facebook inverted but my friends list was black on black and I fought it for 4 hours and couldn't get the text white so I had to use theBowers' BnB fb as the base for this one so credit to him.. A few of his icons are included also like the widget arrows..
For anyone wondering what's the point of Kameleon apps, I have 9 themes out and theming every apk/app for each theme takes up a lot of extra time so I started taking all my apks that I edit xmls in and pointed all those lines to primary sytem text colors that I edit in framework-res.. then in framework-res, I point as many xml's to the primary as well so that all I have to do per theme is edit just a couple xmls.. makes it a lot easier.. So, this idea came into play with universal apks/apps like calculator, GB Keyboards, Facebook, GoogleVoice and GoogleQuickSearch so that if a user is on any of my themes (or any theme that changes the primary and secondary text colors) these apks will 'self theme'.. meaning that all the text colors that I have chosen to edit will become the color of the theme.. Now, I'm attempting to make it deeper by having the apps call on system png's also.. So on these 2 Kameleon Facebooks, it's calling on the button sets for the buttons and for the outline headers and notification bar... it's just different, nothing out of the blue spectacular but I like it.. I included 2 versions of this.. 1 is for anyone using any of my themes since the buttons are themed and the other is a universal one that is calling on a new button I made just for the app internally so it's a basic inverted version of my Kameleon Facebook...All the colored version in the screenshots are of the Kameleon Facebook and the 2 with white are what the Universal version will look like.. Enjoy!
*Shows up as Dark Facebook in the app drawer now*
Install instructions:
1. uninstall the stock facebook first.. if you're using a different inverted one then this should install right over it...
2. download the app you want and choose to install it like a normal app

Thanks for the hard work. Once I root my Kindle this is one theme I would like to try out.

Alright everyone I posted over in the ICS dv thread when I first posted this theme, that I did not have my wifes kindle to ensure that this works. But just now I got my hands on it and flashed and works as it should. Got no fc's and all that I have themed was properly applied.

Looks great, might try it out sometime when I have time and nothing better to do

Unrelated, but whats the clock/weather widget on your homescreen?

It looks awesome keep move it

There is nothing to radical, just tweaked to the way i like it.
The Themes apk"s came from SE.Tweaked v1 rom, thanks festa20 for the great rom .
If you are interested here's the download Simple_Blue_V1.zip.
If you like mma and want some wallpapers here are some made by me.
Here's what I have changed
Browser.apk - Just changed the app icon, black and blue.
Conversations.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
framework-res.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
Phonebook.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
SemcPhone.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
Settings.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
SystemUI.apk - changed a few icons, including some from the xperia s apk's.
I included some font's, the fonts are from SE, I have always had an issue with se fonts. If you have not used them before I'll explain. The small t only had a line on one side (to the right) it never looked good to me. well I just edited the font and added a small bar on the left side of the font as well. If you have not used se fonts before you wont notice anything.
plus added my UFC wallpaper.
I love feedback good or bad
