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!

thnks a lot... looking forward for the release

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

thefunkaygibbon Do u need help?
We could make it like this: one is working on the FULL transparent one and the other on the "win7 glass effect"

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.
It seems whenever I apply a theme, the circular (or regular lock) bar will not change from the color green, nor will the "Phone" icons change, or will the color of the call button on phone change from green. Any reason these things won't change? Im currently running RubiX 1.9.7 Focused with the Black Juice True Blue theme. See pictures.
First time poster, so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
i51.tinypic.com/1zcfpmp.png Lockscreen stays green.
i55.tinypic.com/28je5tx.png Phone numbers don't change, call buttons stays green.
Other question, how do you embed a link into words here?

if you went from one theme to the next more or less themeing over each other some aspects of the old theme may still be seen in the new,,,,sometimes trails can be left behind,so the way i prevent this is right after i flash a rom and know i want to use it and theme it prior to flashing any themes i make a backup of that rom so when i want to use a new theme i restore my clean rom backup and install my new theme,,,this clean rom backup also comes in handy if things dont go well with the theme you installed and need a way out without having to reflash the whole rom,just do a simple restore,,,,sorry to babble and hope this helps
No thats not it, for some reason, those things will not change with any theme I apply.

What color do you want them to be? I just pulled out the framework, and the images haven't been themed, that is why they are still showing up green. I can try and re-color them if you want.
I'd like them to be the same blue color as
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...uice-ginger-themes-rubix-focused-1-9-7-a.html
the true blue theme, which is a few posts down, it's what im using currently.
Also sorry for the late reply, been a busy few days.
I flashed this ROM last week and love it but have encountered a small problem. When I get a notification in the notification area, sometimes the text is black. The problem there is that the background is black. For instance, my CNN app sends news alerts and today I couldn't read it because black on black.
Is there anything I can do within this theme or ROM to rectify this issue?
Thanks!
Check to see CNN app settings if you change notification text color in it. This is more of an app based issue, and not ROM based. Looks like the CNN app is for ROMs with white status bars.
I'd recommend a different theme.. EXPERIMENT has some excellent ones... You could always make your own theme in the uot kitchen if you're not happy with your current one...
Side note: Diablo it's nice to have you back dude.. missed you.
i don't know if this is just me or what. i try to flash battery percentage hack ( ics themed ) and it turned zeus green-ish to blu-ish now. and loved it . ha
Hey guys
I totally love most of the new 4.4, except in some locations you have white for certain text, lines, etc, and then for others you have the light blue.
While I love the light blue, I'm more of a black and white guy myself, this includes screens like the update screen for the ROM, where it says your software is currently up to date, the dialer, etc.
Is there someone out there that would mind just removing all the blue and making it white? I don't mean inverting SMS or Google Plus or anything, just remove the annoying blue borders, text and numbers (dialer).
It just doesn't flow together
I've looked around, found a few pretty awesome themes, especially Black Infinitum X, but there's still some inconsistencies.
Thanks!

You're not going to have the ability to remove all the blue within the stock ROM, what I would suggest is try this new xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602257
Use can use any cm11 theme with it unlike xthemengine. I found betterkat theme is actually better the infitinium .

Why not?
Also, not all CM11 themes work, Onyx Glow doesn't.
Lastly, Betterkat doesn't help me at all. They are all colored themes. The Blacked Out version of Blackout's Theme clashes with certain settings far worse than Infinitum does.
Unless there is a Betterkat that is White themed I'm not seeing...

Well the only way you can remove all the blue is with cm11 and or gummy ROM, actually running gummy now with betterkat blacked out and everything is back with white lettering, you can also try xblast module as I believe you can change colors but again I don't now how far and specifically what it changes. That's the limitations to thus point with all the themeing modules, it changes some backgrounds but not all and or you will have white backgrounds with grey letters, black background with black text, I tried almost every way of changing colors as I like inverted colors, replacing apps ,gravity box, xblast, xthemengine and the module above. I gave up and flashed cm11 and bam, now gummy , its even better

The colored ones are betterkat and the inverted is blackout, which you already know about, it inverts some things on the stock ROM but contacts you can't read and I think the dialer is as messed up

Alright, well thanks anyway flash. I don't want to use another ROM because I don't want to lose Touchless Controls and Notifications.

I liked how everything was black and dark on previous android versions (settings, call, messaging, etc..) I don't like the whiteness in the lollipop ui as it may consume more battery life than dark ui.
Suggestions?
Bump
This should actually be possible through the Samsung theme store (look at the Space theme for example). Unfortunately I've yet to find a simple dark theme. The theme store is also a bit of a pain to navigate.
Ha! Just had a look at that theme, and one of the screenshots says "CONACTS" instead of "CONTACTS." Way to go, Samsung quality control!

Hey - I think I can help with this. User Gunthermic was kind enough to upload the Cogul Black theme, which was promised, but never arrived in the theme store. See no. 10 in the following for download and install instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...e-samsung-stock-s6-themes-collection-t3080847
My first thought was to turn the screen off :-/ don't get much blacker than that.
But I too miss the darkness of such things as CM KitKat u.u
