Is it possible to run Widgetlocker on MIUI and Desire S without having that black status bar background? It should be transparent and show alternative background under it, but it simply makes the top black.

i`ve ported a simple black bar from other theme sources (thx for let me steal the images ) for CM-5.0.7-T2-N1.
use it only with CM-5.0.7-T2-N1! will not work with "15 recent apps mod"!
i`ve also done a default white bar update.zip if you want to revert.
install: flash from recovery

default white bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Default_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for it since 507T2 was unleashed.
It's been bugging me and I've not had time to work out how to do it myself.
Much appreciated.
Any chance you could do this over again and have green highlights/selections like desire with the same black bar?
I had the Kspec Monster theme on and I love the desire effects but it had the standard greyish notification bar.
I don't know how to fix it up myself and I tried once and got stuck in bootloop!
Thanks.
Batttery meter needs aligning if using with kspecs battery icons..
some notifications from apps (for example quick settings) in the "ongoing" pull down section have black font. black font on black background is not quite readable.^^
all other notifications in the pull down section are white, only the third party apps notifications have black font.
does anybody know where to change this font color?
hmmm, the black font in some notifications is a problem with black item backround.
so i changed status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png to default white and focus and pressed to desire green. updated version with screenhot in first post.
title pretty much says it all.
i was wondering if there are any themes that have a black notification bar instead of the ol' white one. im currently using GO Launcher theme and i am rooted.
as for the second part: i wanna change my icons in the app drawer to different icons. like when u pull up the drawer and see all system apps and other apps. is there a way to change those icons without having to apply a theme?
I would like black status bar on my HTC ONE S. Now is transparent in Sense 4.0.
Is it possible?

Try other Scenes and Skins under Settings/Personalize...pretty sure one of them has a black bar.
should be in systemui.apk system/app -drawable-hdpi I think
I think it is in Rosie.apk, because the transparent bar is ONLY visible in Rosie
Edit: I've figured out there is some sort of tweak in there that makes the allready existing bar half transparent, so It's not only changing a PNG

Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Thank you Str0ntium.
Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.
I have installed a white theme that i really like but now the text from status bar can't be seen as it is also white. Is there any way without root to change text colour or background? Changing the theme picture top could also be an option if i could find it and paint it dark but it's downloaded from theme store. Can it be found and be modified?
Did you find a way around this?
I once had an app called super status bar installed. It doesn't affect the original status bar (because AFAIK that's not possible without root) - but it replaces it completely and you can customize it then freely.
There are probably several other status bar replacement apps on the Play Store too, there should be something fitting for you.
