status_bar is just a blank square lol. title_bar is black...im guessing thats it

bump...neither one worked

status_background.png in framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi right?

^^^yep. pretty sure that is right.^^^
edit: almost right-
status_bar_background.png
statusbar_background.png

theres a statusbar_background, is that it

see my post above. To be honest, I don't know which of those it is, exactly, as I edited both exactly the same...so I don't know which one made the change. But I haven't noticed anything else looking funny, so try one, then try the other and see which one works.

Hex edit for the Rosie bar and services.jar, classes.dex and StatusBarIcon.smali inside the classes.dex for the taskbar.

Clear Taskbar

I did a search, found one but the icons are changed. Does anyone have a .zip to have a clear taskbar (completely see through bar at the top) and leave whatever current icons I have on?

unless its metamorphed then it will change ur icons at the top. the png is in the framework files so what ever the framework file where someone changes the png will also change the icons that are in the framework file. like mentioned above the only other alternative is to use a metamorph to just change that one file.

Can you point me in the direction to that through metamorph?

hey if you feel comfortable, pull the framework-res.apk. drop this image into the drawable-mdpi folder. then push back to phone. should make clear.

[Q] Theming JVB

I've been theming small aspects of JVB, specifically Perception II. I've tried to theme the background of the music controls inside the status bar drawer. On Froyo ROMs, I could just throw a modified png into the zip. Now, I do that and it's still purple. I even decompiled and recomplied with the new pngs, but it doesn't work. Any ideas on what to do? I attached the modded files below. Thanks!

Of course. I opened them in Photoshop and edited and put them back into twframework. Thing is, I've done this before very successfully modifying themes on Froyo.

Wow thanks a lot man

Yeah, that's weird.. changing the png's doesn't seem to affect what actually shows up. Makes you wonder if it's grabbing them from somewhere else entirely..
Edit: I was right! Check out /system/app/MusicPlayer.apk, it has it's own set of status bar png's. I haven't tried replacing them myself yet, but I have a strong feeling that those are the ones you should be changing as opposed to the ones in twframework-res.apk. Samsung seems to enjoy scattering their graphics around.. there are also a couple pertinent to the status bar and dropdown shade in SystemUI.apk and Phone.apk.
Good luck, dude! Let me know if those were the correct ones!

Is SystemUI.apk new to Gingerbread? I'll look into it.
God THANK YOU, that's an amazing find and so useful to me! I am SO GRATEFUL. Damn, Samsung isn't the most efficient company of coders. Putting lockscreen music control backgrounds in framework-res and status bar ones in music apk? Wow.

SystemUI.apk handles all the notification bar/dropdown stuff and all of those images are used instead of what's in twframework-res.apk now (GB).
The background and buttons for the dropdown are in MusicPlayer.apk though. Crazy.

So apparently the toggle PNGs in SystemUI.apk are locked, so they cannot be edited in Photoshop and lose their transparency. Sucks....

Yeah, kinda sucks. I grabbed a screenshot of Explorer with large thumbnails, copied each one and inverted them so they're smoothed to black background, made black transparent, then changed the color. It works out ok I guess.

They still turn out jagged because the originals, using transparency, are smoothed. I think I can get someone to fix that...

If anyone is interested, I am recreating a lot of the elements by hand. It's HARD OH MY GOD, some pieces require 7 layers of separate transparencies i have to match to the originals. But I'm making a theme, just modded stock for now but I'll be working on it for a while. I'll make a thread soon!

So ALL the battery icons are locked... I downloaded a random GB theme and took out the battery icons, and those are locked too. Decompiled framework, still locked. What the hell???? How do I mod them?!

I figured most stuff out now. Except how to change the status bar background. I put it into SystemUI.apk (2 different names), framework, and twframework. Nothing works. Any clues?

Check SystemUI.apk drawable-hdpi directory, also check the values directory, there's one xml in there that defines the background color for the dropdown shade.
Edit: nevermind, changing that xml does nothing

Why aren't you using the originals? Is it because they're Index images that don't open properly? If so, open them with Adobe Fireworks, save them, then open them in whatever else.

res\layout\status_bar_tracking.xml has the background color. Change to image:
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Copy the file from the theme in my sig if you need a working reference. It has no clock in the bar and no text in the toggles as well.

GIMP, convert to RGB, then it works. But GIMP has no real batch mode, like Photoshop. Which sucks.

Yeah that's why originally. Can you open 171 files in Fireworks and save them automatically? I don't wanna do that for all the status bar stuff individually.
Also I have to get Fireworks.

Request for new SystemUI (fully transparent notification tray including header)

Hi friends, I am a silent reader and this is my first thread.
Recently I found a very beautiful xposed module named as BlurredSystemUI.this module gives your notification area a blurred effect just like the effect present on new iPhone.problem is that in my SystemUI's there are many parts which are not transparent and look awkward.
The thing I want to do is to make a fully transparent notification background including topmost header which contains cloack and date,brightness slider background,simcard switch area. But I don't have any experience in editing SystemUI's,I don't even have a PC to learn.I invite any developer who can do this work,so that we can have a perfect SystemUI for our core duos
For statusbar you can add tick style signal icons(s5 style),please remove internet speed indicator if present,and at last try to take a bit extra trouble by adding s5 tingles(where data and WiFi tongles are at first,present in all s5 style SystemUI's in this forum)
If some one is interested and if you complete this work. You can make your own thread with more detail. I will delete this thread.make it supported for all major ROMs available.i have not added any link.if you are experianced than i dont think it is a big deal to find the file.Below I have attached some screenshots...take a look and you will get an idea of what I am talking about..
thank you..

Share ur SystemUI here,i will try to give a solution!

It is not true, This is possible, but you have tu put some effort in it.. You have to find appropriate png related to alarm icon in status bar inside of systemui.apk or framework-res.apk. Probably you can find it in folder like XXHDPI-RES. Then you replaced it with empty png and voila. You have no icon even when alarm is on.
