I have tried to just replace the statusbar png in framework-res and it work for some apps but it is not consistent. Im willing to help in anoyone out with completing this project. I just need some help.

Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638659

if youre still using sense, just do a color invert in the statusbar png so it'll be white and then start making it transparent. that looks like its at a pretty high amount of transparency. if youre using CM6, it should be as easy as copy and paste from that framework to yours.

how do you make it transparent
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I can get the status bar to be transparent on most apps. My problem really is on my calendar. It is showing up with a "USB Debugging" every single time. I have attached photos to show you guys what I see. I have also included the png's I am using to get the statusbar transparent.
PS. They are located in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-v4.
Let me know how everyone elses looks. Any help to get this fixed for everyone is greatly appreciated.

did anyone ever get this working? really wanna try this

[REQ] Inverse Notification Icon Color (Black Status Bar)

I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).
If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

I saw those. I wasn't quite sure if it changes the Messaging, Gmail, Voice and other icons since all I see is the USB and USB Tethering icons. Do you know if those are changed?

Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.
Any other ideas?

Anyone know of anything else to do?

Shameless bump because I really want this.

There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.

Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

Use ninja morph and inverse the images u want in framework-res.apk ...really easy

I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.
Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.
In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.

[Q] Possible to make status bar black?

I know the triumph is the new kid on the block and doesn't have a lot of dev or theme work for it yet,but was just wondering if anyone has accomplished making the status bar and pull down black with white lettering? if so... how?
thx

I've tried a couple metamorph themes, as well as an apk I found named GingerBar, all to no avail. Hopefully with CM7 just around the bend we will see black notification bars on our triumphs

I've been trying the same thing. I've tried flashing several metamorph themes and such, even .zip to be installed from recovery. Nothing actually worked. A few metamorph themes just installed indefinitely without finishing. I did a restore from my backup just to make sure there's no damage. I made this thread on HowardForums and someone suggest UOkitchen or whatever it's called lol, but that's seems crazy time consuming. Also, someone posted a screenshot here on XDA in the show your homescreen thread with a modified status bar, might be worth sending him a message asking how, maybe he or she would be willing to help

mm themes don't change the text color, so it'll be black text on black bar and you won't see anything

Yea just go to Droid pirate and use metamorph... who really needs a clock on the status bar anyways? U can theme all the notifications and status bar icons and turn the bar black.

I'm still working on the "white text" half of the conundrum, but in the mean time something like Fancy Widgets should be good enough.
Although a black-bar-white-text theme is something that's a personal goal.

Metamorph makes it easy, but it has a lot more bugs than flashing a theme.

100% Stock Gingerbread theme..

Id like to know if there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for the Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy has always these ugly blue paddings, borders and tabs while the stock Gingerbread is mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights. I'm running Overcome ROM v3.1.0 KRATOS Gingerbread and really would like to make it look just plain vanilla 100% stock!
Thanks for the advice.

Here it is. Almost like the original.
New version 19.09.2011.
-fixed charging animation (not tested)
-darker Volumebar
-Black titlebar replaced by another guy. Thanks!
-new Text colors
-black themed Jobmanager and settings.apk from biopsin and sohrab1985 (thanks)

Hey Guy,
After a few days trying, i have to give up. I can't find the responsible pic for the black banner in the settings. I know it musst be a file in the framework-res.apk, but where?
Sorry. Maybe i try it later again but for now, i quit.

hi.
I can live with it. its better than any transparent theme. Thanks

Yea, it was a great idea. I live with it too

This is only the case with amoled screens, it does not apply to LCD screens like the Tab has. The same amount of power is used to display a black pixel as is used to display a white one.

I believe your problem is the dark_header.png try this framework, i cant test it ATM. Heres the png too.

Fantastic! It works. I will implane it in the download file. If i find the time.
Thanks man

so.....where is the file?

OK, installed it and it looks great!! I will keep it, very very good job thank you very much!! Some of the dialogue screens seem more square than they were originally and many icons (like settings and shot off screen) totally lost their color also, but its OK, I like the look
I have a question, you replaced the WIFI meter icon on the upper task bar with the stock one which looks perfect now. A friend of mine also with KRATOS on his Tab wants to keep the stock KRATOS theme but would love to get your stock taskbar WIFI meter icon. How would this be possible? Would it be an easy fix to create an update zip just with that change? I have no idea how to do it..

Further modding...
I have a further question...
Has anyone here tried to use UOT Kitchen to do any modding? I tried to get a few things changed but the only thing I could successfully mod was the battery icon styly. Everything else I try to do, upon reboot, its not modded.
Among other things id like to add transparency to the taskbar pulldown (like the old Overcome 1.x Froyo that was sooooooo nice and that is gone from KRATOS) as well changing the Notification Power Buttons and taskbar icons to stock Gingerbread.. but nothing, upon flash and reboot, nothing has changed. I'm frustrated.
has anyone successfully used this? Thanks in advance for any input

(Mini Theme) 4.0.4 LRK SystemUI Sensation Theme Port

Update 3rd August 2012
Theme now is just one version combined layout style of previous 2 versions
includes all the minor changes from previous update(touched up data icons)
removed search icon because not working
download and screen shot at bottom of post.
Hope you like
This is a mini theme I guess. It is a port of the sensation rom systemui.apk and the battery charge anim works just like the original
It is only the systemui, criskelo-res and quicksettings apks and it is 6 toggles on screen because I don't think the 8 toggles suits.
Suits best with a blue or stock framework.
It is not fantastic and may need some touch ups but is at a point I am happy with and ok for now
Attached is two versions one with carrier text and one without (for now unless I can get it to look normal with the carrier text)
the pictures show the difference.
This is working on 4.0.4 LRK Classic rom but should work on other 4.0.4 roms too but the usual make a backup and flash at own risk
Both are cwm flashable
Thanks to

Hope this is ok and let me know thoughts

nice work and recollected my days on s2 with sensation Rom...

LOVE IT !
For the one with Carrier Text, are you able to add the additional icons beside it ? E.g. lockscreen, etc ?

I Haven't tried yet. Ill look into it when get some time and whether I can get it to look any good if i can get it to work.
I'm trying to add carrier text back to the one without and make it look ok, this is the best that I've done so far, i just can't centre text so its going to stay on the left for now.

I have touched up the data icons a little, raised the data in and out icons and centred. This does bring them a little closer to the wifi icon but I dont think its too bad as looks better this way now.
Unfortunately I have not been able to get a carrier name on the no carrier version and be fully happy with it and with getting the lock, recent etc icons onto the carrier version, I can not get anything that is stable enough for daily use, so going to stay as is for now sorry.
Disregard the green text and date in the screenshot as that is from my framework-res. If you stock or blue framework-res the text colours will remain the same.
Thanks

great looking mod. thank you. the only thing - i dont have running procceses in status bar as it is shown on the screenshot. is it some app used?

Thanks. Feedback:
- No carrier version - 3G, H and H+ are perfectly located, but Carrier version icons are misplaced
- No carrier version - Clear is really tiny

Looking good mate, nice work.
However I've tried both of your nocarrier zips and single click in the search icon does nothing. I'm on classic rom v3. Anyway we can fix this?
Also if its possible to make the 'clear' text just a bit larger so it would center perfectly in the button.
Thanks.

ahh it looks nice..gonna try this

It's working great for me on Classic ROM LRK v3. Just one point though, it is a bit light in color when any of the toggle is turned on. Thanks.

Hi, are you using the no carrier version? If so does your search button work on single click? Thanks.

working on getting the lock etc buttons on the systemui with carrier text so there will be just one version which has both things. Just having some stability issues with it hoping to niggle out so can use it.
I have fixed the data icons on the carrier version (sorry I mustn't of edited all the images needed my bad) will upload the fixed version later when get a chance.
As with the search button I have noticed before the theme it didn't open anything but I have just themed criskelo's systemui.apk so if anyone is using criskelo rom can they see if it works for them, as far as I understand in the code it is pointing to a search application to open but I am not sure if it is executing the command or just doesn't have the required search app installed. I will try and play around but can't gaurentee I will be able to fix that issue as it is there from the unthemed version (for me anyway), may have to remove the icon if can't sort anything out.

One more suggestion, the Wi-Fi logo look very low res, can you improve in that too? thanks
