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

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.
I was happy to see transparent bar when i got my s4.... but i noticed smthng strange lately
when we use stock wallpapers the transparent bar kicks in and the moment we use non-stock wallpapers the bar changes to non transparent..
see images....any suggestions
Yeah this kinds sucks but my thinking is that Samsung did it this way otherwise they would have a load of calls saying that all my status icons have vanished because someone has used a light grey wallpaper....
Just noticed that too.....not good.....hopefully samsung changes this

For what I've tried the transparent bar onky works with stock live and regular wallpapers. It's kinda of a bummer Samsung did it this way.

Its actually completely understandable.
If the wallpaper was the same colour as your notification icons you wouldnt be able to see anything.
its quite cool that they put the transparent feature in there for their wallpapers.
Mebbe a later update will give you the option by asking if you want transparent notification bar ... or the other option is to find a decent developer web site where people are ingenious and helpful and will do this for you .... oh hang on ....... look at the URL!
Hi people. I hate the new call screen there is only a miniature photo of the caller on the screen. I want it to be bigger like all the green area for the contacts. Is there anyway around that ? Or is it possible to make a mod?
SM-N920I cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi
Hello,
It's possible with UCS (Ultimate Caller ID Screen)
There used to be a mod on note 4,full screen mod, i too miss that, custom call screen wud be. Great
Any way to get the image a bit more bigger than just a small round icon without 3rd party app ?
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.

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 am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.
