I't possible. However it's a lot of work. You have to redo all the icons with a paintprogram. Rynoons actually made a white statusbar for the X10, see here:
rynoons modified framework-res.apk: (post #43)

The white statusbar looked really awesome on my white X10. However a white statusbar has some problems though.
-The color of the clock can't be changed as far as I know. That's why Rynoons added a black box. However when a message appears in the statusbar (like when connecting the phone to the pc), the clock (letters) will disappear. However the blackbox stays (as it's part of the statusbar background).
-Some SE apps (like mail, Timescape, Mediascape etc) include icons with a blue background. These icons will remain when using the white statusbar and thus will just not look right.
That's why I removed the white statusbar after some days of use and reverted to a black statusbar. Still some icons appear to be on a blue background. However they don't stand out that much on black as they did on white.
U can adjust the font colors by modifying the odex files. I have wanted a white status bar and black letters since I got the phone too. I'm working on it but it requires a lot of work. Hopefully this weekend.

OH OH OH, I forgot to ask about changing the app drawer slider colour, domoco made abunch of different themes for their users like a different app drawer slider button thingy, I saw pirple and pink and other stuff

I've tried deodex the whole framework, and changed the color in services.jar. And then transfer the jar files to the x10 and odex all the files. but after restart the mobile phone froze on the bootscreen.
If I change the services.jar, I need to deodex the applications too? or just the framework?
As I understand it everything needs to be deodexed, then pushed back to the phone where it will be reodexed. Keep in mind the phone will take a while to startup bc its odexing everything.
I may be wrong and I still don't fully understand it. Lots of stuff to learn, not enough time.

Edit: if the phone gets stuck at boot is there a way to view what went wrong? Would ddms work for that? I would try before asking but I'm not at home. Thanks
How do I install Rynoons theme?

transparent? not that i know. but you can use third party homescreen launchers to make it "invisible"
Transparant would be cooler though!

Not yet, but... I've pulled the framwork-res.apk and modified the backgroud to the task bar and have attached the results.
I haven't modified anything else in the bar, hence the icons for signal etc are still blue/black... but I will do.
The only problem with this is what colour do you have the text on the bar, as the background in apps also comes through
(I was thinking that instead of a fully see through bar, that I'd create an opaque one when I get home, as I only have paint on this PC)
EDIT: I was also looking to modify the lock screen to be slightly opaque, to match the bar at the top
Will post updates here once I've done them
Looking forward to the results!

I can remove the background to the icons, there is just a lot of them and I am at work, plus I have photoshop on my mac at home, and only MSpaint here.
I'll see what I can do for the glass effect, and was thinking of doing a few different see through colour variants (i.e. black, white, red etc)
As before, I think the main issue is going to be the text, but if there is a tint of colour, it should be easy enough to read (we'll see)
Hopefully I'll be able to put up a very beta version today or tomorrow, including the lock screen mods so you can see how it will look.
I'll put a new thread up when I have this beta bit done

I'm really looking forward to your transparent theme. I've been looking for one on my X10 for ages and I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.
Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Metamorph app, so will give it a go.
I've been using adb to test
Update Time!
Quick update, its a little trickier than I originally anticipated, but more or the status bar icons have been updated (I still have a lot to do yet)
So, I thought I'd show what I have done so far...
As you can see, some of the test is difficult to see in the bar, but this should be fixed once I've get a decent glass like effect on the bar. If you're using a dark background, this is fine, but lighter backgrounds are not so good.
Also, the text and debug mode icons are not done, and some of the battery and internet down/upload icons are also not done (100 and 80% for battery are complete, and the icons where 3g is enabled but not uploading or downloading are not done.)
Still, I think there is decent (ish) progress, and hope to get something you can use after the weekend (maybe before it's out, but I don't want to follow SE's example of giving crap release dates )
PS. Sorry for the quality of the attachment, I use screencast through my PC which doesn't scale down well but is quicker than using a screenshot app on Android

Right, almost there with the black transparent bar...
Take a look at the screenies
I'm in process of writing an installer, but its late, so I'm not finishing it now.
What I have now will be the first version, I will be changing the lock screen and other home screen bluenesses (like where I have Vodafone and ongoing, I will make them match the colour of the status bar)
I will also be adding a few more colours, preferably from the same installer, but we'll see how that goes.
Finally, I want to change the white background on the status dropdown to be the same as the status bar, eg, in this case, black and transparent.
looking good dude

Indeed, this is lookin great. I do really really like the looks of the status bar.
An idea, I know your still in very early stage atm but when you release it with your installer why not make it configurable? What I mean is so when your installing it asks you what bits you want in your choice of colours. So it would be customisable and everyone could have a version of some spec of colour that would suit any theme.
This would make a great paid app if you ask me...

Great work/concept so far!
I had thought about trying a translucent status bar background before. Can't wait to see it.
I'm trying to learn about theming a little too when I have time...
ccan u share the files... we could also work on it .. while u can compile the installer
Looks really sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
BTW, very beautiful babe you have on your screen.
so i've searched for a white notification bar and i cant seem to find one for this device.
i tried to just invert the colors on a black bar theme, but it didnt do anything to the bar and just made all the icons black(and invisible).
anybody know anything about a white bar?

So.. I'm guessing you already know how to properly modify the files for your ROM. The file you want to look for to modify and make white is "statusbar_background.png" ...Some roms this file name will also contain a ".9" in the name.
If this is the case, the .9 pngs HAVE to be modified a certain way, as the .9 means that they contain special instructions, for text, icons, and stretching. If you are not sure how to fix a .9 png, you can send me the file. I'll make it white, and send it back.

Ok i love the bionix rom i just dont care for the white status and dropdown menu so i used UOT kitchen to cook a theme and i tried flashing the. Zip with framework-res. apk inside through cwm but nothing changed so i just pushed it manually and did the same with twframework and everything changed and looked nice except the icons at the top of the notification dropdown menu look like the stock froyo icons but everything else in the dropdown menu looks the way it should. I also cant find where to change the dropdown notification icons in UOT anyways? There not even an option? You figure it would be under status bar mods but i dont see anything? Anybody know a solution?

Heres some pics!! just remember there's still a couple of things that still need to be adjusted but i can handle that i just need to figure out the drop down notification icon problem. Also i forgot to mention the time is missing in the notification bar?? It showed it in green text in UOT why doesn't it show up?
Probably because you set your time color the same as your status bar color

You can't change the color of the time in UOT Kitchen only the date I would maybe make the status bar green and your icons black.
And you can cook the twframework-res.apk and make your own drop down menu. Only change the status bar in uot kitchen and you will have to unzip it and rename it back to twframework-res.apk copy it then replace it in system/framework.

Sorry, I guess this is a necropost, but I'm looking for the same thing, and have been for quite some time.
I'm rooted, running CM 10.1, and running the XPosed framework. I've seen a couple of themes, but they always do things like change the dialer layout, or something... I really just want to turn that shade of blue white, and I guess just doing that in the notification bar would be fine.

Anything is possible if PAC ROM already flashed in your device. It has so many option to customize your phone's look and feel. Have a try and good luck.
Is there any xposed module that can change the notification panel's background color to match that of the running current app via the color of the statusbar?
