[THEME][REQ] MIUI semi-transparent notification bar on CM6

As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!

Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>

I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?

I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.

I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?

+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.

i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw

I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.

Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

[Q] Status bar unchanged when applying a new theme on launcher pro

hello,
i am on miui rom for desire hd and when i apply a theme the status bar color just stays stays black(icons on status bar changes though) and if i try other launcher it changes to the theme color one .
so launcher pro doesn't support status bar theming?

35 views and no one bothers to answer

Because i don't know, and thought statusbar can only be changed by flashing and not through apps...

[Q] app drawer icons/notification bar

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?

Press thanks if I helped you.

cool. so this just adds the transparent notification bar, correct? like, no theme on the side?
and i read somewhere (where exactly has slipped my mind), but someone was saying that you can't use different wallpapers with a transparent notification bar. is this true? if not, i'm flashing this right away!

you can use it.
if you are using adw launcher then just untick wallpaper hack under settings
or using any other launcher use multipicture live wallpaper for any wall pic you have

Ponda, this one has a pretty nice theme with it (plus transparent bar). Transparent bar works if used with Live Wallpapers (no black/opaque bar anymore!)

it only works with live wallpapers or, if i'm using adw, with wallpaper hack unchecked? since i flashed to kpe and then to kph, live wallpapers have been causing my phone to slow down at the home screens and while opening the app drawer. i'll still give it a go
i'm using clear glass theme at the moment. is there anyway to get just the transparent status bar (without the theme you mentioned)?

if u take the systemUI.apk from Version 2 and place it the already existing glass theme, the status bar will surely become transparent. but what i CAN'T say for sure is what else will be changed...battery icon, notification pulldown etc...if u wanna try it, just make sure u make a backup of systemUI.apk of the glass theme (system/apps/...) and then replace it with the systemUI.apk of this theme (Version 2). if u like the result, great. if u dont like it, just replace it again with the backup copy. as for ADW, i dont use it. search and download MULTIPICTURE LIVE WALLPAPER from the market (free version). Its a live wallpaper, but u can use ur own static wallpaper as the background (more than one)

ot it works! but now there's a bar at the top of all my apps that's a different color from everything else. oh well, trade off
multipicture wallpaper ALSO causes lag (a little on adw launcher, a lot on others). using the wallpaper thing now. i shud look into this live wallpaper lag....
thanks for the help!

LOL since the bar is now transparent, it keep changing according to the color of the app we are using i'll try the transparent bar over glass theme. Besides the bar, did anything else change?

everything about the notification bar except the battery icon changed

help? how to do this great motification bar??? the first i tried it bricked my phone and i needed to reflash

can somebody pls post a step by step procedure for this? thank in advance and may i ask if it is possible to flash in CWM the zip file???

android transparent status bar

Do you know how to make the status bar transparent fully? Its very annoying..

For the home screen just go in settings and hide all the icons. I would like to know how to hide it in chrome without root. Samsung has full screen mode.

I won't make the icon transparent. I would make the black bar transparent, so that the color is the same like the app

That depends on the app usually, apps can theme the status bar when they launch, you do get very nice transparent substratum themes but they probably wouldn't change the status bar unless they theme that app too.

This is exactly correct. Your at the mercy of the app. Unless the app can be themed, it's what it is.

Samsung has a full screen mode for all apps. I'm surprised oneplus doesn't offer this. I sent in a request on their website.

Nova only works for home screen. Adb hides status bar for everything. Adb method worked! Im using chrome browser with no status bar now
