Hey, so the notification text colour in the 'drawer' is black, on a dark grey background which makes it almost impossible to read for mst things (downloads etc)
Is there any way to change this? I'd like to change the colour to white or somethng
Thanks in advance!
U can play with UOT kitchen, but several things seem not to work for our stock rom (window animation/lock screens/notification power buttons) It's easy and doesn't harm to try though.
go to uot.dakra.lt/
Thanks for the link, I tried out just changing the notification drawer, but although most of the edit worked, I lost the drawer transparency :/
More experimentation required! (I'll post back here if I have success)

Made this because I was sick of having so many different sized and colored icons on the notification bar. That stuff drives me nuts, or maybe it bothers me because I am already nuts...but either way here it is.
This Morph converts your current static (ie-right side) notification icons to be consistent in size and color (White and Grey for Dark Bar, Black and Grey for Light Bar), and removes the black boxes around them. This only works for icons that appear on the right of the notification bar and will not effect "alert" icons that appear on the left side such as USB connection, Usb debugging, and others. Also included is a optional morph that will make your lockscreen alarm and charging icons more consistent with the main morphs. They can also be viewed in the image below.
Hit up the images below to see the full range of icons and a screen cap. Also this works great if you use the night rendering mode in CM6 frequently, as I do.
This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
=================================================
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

NEW VERSIONS FOR BOTH LIGHT AND DARK, MORE ICONS INCLUDED!
Ok, the version for light bars is done and posted below along with an icon overview image. I have also added in a few I missed the first time around like the sync icons and vibrate only icon, for both versions.
Saved for future post.
Applied the DarkOnly icons, in combo with GlasStatusBar.
Works great, looks nice, thanks for making this!
[CM6 RC3, on N1]
(notification bar looks a bit off, because of Drocap)

Nice, glad you like it. Nice screen shot too, thx for attaching.
I applied this via metamorph and restarted, yet no changes are showing, I'm running CM6 and Debugging is on.
Did quite a bit of searching before i finally gave in.
Normally i almost religiously back up everything...this time i did not...obviously...or i would be reflashing and simply reinstalling
now i did not brick my Samsung vitality, I am not that stupid...however i did try out metamorph being bored...and its really a small issue but something i cant for the life of me get rid of...
on the swipe down notifications bar the stock battery color is green...well mine is blue...and currently the text in the notification area...is dark grey on black...so i have to tilt the phone to see anything.
anybody have any ideas on how i can fix this? or have just a basic stock rom for the samsung vitality.
there should be a notification bar color changer metamorph file for your phone
maybe even a text color changer
yeah its the text thats killing me, here sec lemme get a photo of it.
picture added its the black text on daaaark grey background, i just need to figure out how to change that text color to white
edit 2 picture is in edit box. wont let me post it otherwise.
fixed it, i think it was an issue with the framework not installing before a reset on metamorph, thanks for the assistance
Hey all,
I have modified my phone with a blue/tech-like appearance throughout most of the phone and applications. They very last thing missing that I can't seem to figure out is how to change the status bar text/icon color? I've done this on other phones in the past but can't seem to do it with this one.
Take a look at the attachment. That is my current homepage. I would like the top status bar to have a blue color as close to theme or clock color.
Any way to do this?
Thanks!
Anyone have some ideas on how to do this? I was able to change all the icons on status bar/task bar to blue with the exception of the time. I can't seem to change it.
Thanks,
Did you figure this out? I've been trying as well.
Yes, I was able to change absolutely everything except for the Time. I still can't figure out how to change the damn time. Also, obviously you likely won't be able to change the 4G icon because it is quite different in appearance and it doesn't seem to replace it.
If anyone knows how to change time color, please let me know.
Thanks,
--mike

Same here, I changed the color of date, notifications text in status bar and all icons. Here is a good tutorial, but didn't work either.

At first you might be like "huh?" if you've never used it but its a wonderful resource for things like that. Also a real time saver for battery mods n such
Hi BoBCaTRoM,
Just like to say Thank You! for the great rom, love what you have done and will be donating for the good work you and your colleges have created
Anyways I have a question and sorry if already answered but I cant find related post. I just updated to you new Mod fix with 3minit 3.4 from your mod section and notice after successful update that the status bar colours have changed to a green and white colour.
All of the notification section have changed to green and not original blue (which I prefer) The clock on the status bar is white and so has the wifi signal colour changed to white.
I tried to change under 3minit but not successful. I was wondering if you have a default settings (original bobcat theme) with new updates or a way to revert back to all blue theme without the green?
I noticed in mod section there is a restore but I loose 3minit update and some of the extra notification buttons (reboot,power off ).
Another question I have is regarding CRT-OFF Not sure if thats exactly whats cause it but when I press my off button and press restart I dont get the option for rebooting in Recovery or Download mode only restart. I keep my animation scale to 1.5 cause I read that this might be a cause but has not solved the problem.
How can I get Recovery and Download mode as a option for restarting?
Sorry if this is any way confusing, please let me know and ill try to explain a bit better or with screen shots.
Thanking you in advanced and loving your work

been a long time since I've been active here.
but could use some help. I have "red_burst" theme from the galaxy store that I bought. but there's still a lot off white left.
like in the nav bar.. above the keyboard for word suggestions and notifications bar.. among other places. I tried a few apks from the theme section but my phone started acting up and I had to do a factory reset.
could someone help me out... I'm overwhelmed with all these apks. back in the day we would just root and throw on a custom Rom. don't want to root so I'm trying it this way.
I'll PayPal someone $5 if they list all the apks I need to black out all this white space on this phone... and still make it usable of course. I don't even know where to start with the apk files.
bonus: blank out my nav bar and turn the nav keys red.. but keep the order (back, home, apps)
There's a couple of threads, Dark Notifications and Overlays. And there is Substratum for Samsung, the dark notifications only have grey type which some say is hard to read but to me is better than white.
Here a screen of the best you can do for now but the devs are working on it.
