"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as you can see I edited the status bar and made it completely transparent and so problems came in with apps such as Mms, People, and Contact
having white status bar, having white status bar and white icons(wifi,battery,signal etc) results in complete white status bar and its ugly
Dont my assignment already searches around here in XDA and with the help of our friend google, I cant seem to find a solution yet
which drawables(?) xml (?) smali(?) would I replace or edit in per apps? just need some guides and I'll do the rest
and Oh lasty where in SystemUI would change background of status bar expanded (done all the way to editing some stuffs)
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I search the forum but didn't find anything. It seems that this is tsk theme dependant but I'm unable to find more about it.
Thanks for your help.

Picture not showing for me. Anybody else?
In the meantime this thread may help you.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501506
Hi, thanks for your reply. Indeed, images are not showing. I will repost this evening.
In fact, I'm looking for a way to change the back color of the top bar that appear for example in the file explorer or in the mail application just below the top menu bar where the start menu lays.
anyway,I will re post the images this evening.
thanks for your help.

There are two sections in the Registry that are responsible for the Theme elements that you are talking about. (See the link i posted before). Unfortunately trying to change them via a direct reg edit doesn't seem to work. You would have to change the Registry values in the .cab as they are set in the .tsk for that Theme.
For that you would need a .cab editor and a rudimentary knowledge of RGB and Hex values.
Once you have the tools and a basic understanding of Theme development it's actually not that difficult but will need a bit of research. I make my own Themes so if i can help you in any way feel free to PM me, i'll be glad to help.
Good luck.
I didn't dig the gradient on the HTC Sense notification bar so I modded it. Credit goes to the creators of Smooth Sense and the Circle Battery mod, which I used in this.

thanks man!
I don't know a way to get the notification bar to be transparent. I think you have to mess with services.jar and I don't really want to do that.
There is already a theme for transparent status bar on this site somewhere, I was HUGe into making that and got it, but theres much more to it. you have to re-make wayyy too many .png files.
Do you have to use Bootstrap everytime you flash something new with Metamorph?
This is awesome looking, will it work on my Evo? I am just running clockworkrecoverymod that comes with unrevoked's quick root, and no other roms. LPP, otherwise stock 2.2 rom. And I put this on the SD AndroidTheme directory and tried to flash it and it froze my phone and kept looping the Sprint Screen...
Any help would be much appreciated, as I would LOVE to have this on my phone
Hi Guys,

Hi the theme includes everything in the screenshot except the background, the battery and lock slider is also included. The other stuff is almost standard.
Just trying to add some more skinning to the keypad, password boxes and icons etc... should be uploaded soon.
Hope you will like it.
Thanks

Does anyone know if CM7 or stock android menu can be changed to white background like MIUI (pic 1) or iphone? Doesn't have to be as pretty with mixed gray and white exactly, just a simple white background instead of black for 2nd pic.

Found a thread mentioned 2 files named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png in the framework.apk. Are the popup menu & full screen menu setting related? Could someone help ? Can I just unzip the apk and replace the image, but then how put apk back to the OS? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked in the UOT Kitchen? http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

Link is down for the moment. I saw a youtube tutorial of the site. Looks pretty handy to mod the theme, but haven't seen the option to change the menu background yet. I'll try it out when the site is back on.
Thanks Jason.
UOT Kitchen cannot mod the color of the menu screen. It can change pretty much everything else, but not menu colors.
No reason you can open up FrameworkRes.apk and change it yourself though. That's all a dev would be doing. Changing more complicated things is hard (obviously) but simple graphic-related stuff is really, really easy.
Hey all.. I've searched everywhere, modified all sorts of files/png's... I can't seem to get the blue background for the touchwiz quickpanel to change.
What apk? I assume it's SystemUI.apk. Which file? Is it a PNG or is it an XML edit?
One more.. the green bar below the quickpanel icon (the on/off indicator).. same question as above. What file is it?
What I'm talking about:

Like I said.. I've searched everywhere, read all sorts of threads, edited all sorts of XML/PNGs... Need help!
Thanks all.
Inside SystemUI/res/drawable named as tw_quick_panel*.9.png. To modify 9.png format (stretchable png), you need a special editor draw9patch from Android SDK. I had no experience editing 9.png file
Or you can make suitable size toggles and put then in drawable folder and then give reference to them in toggles xml file!!!!
@ketut I think toggles png s are not in .9 format!!!!!
but even if they are above method will work and will probably save you from messing with .9 png files
