Hi everyone!
I found some times ago a post (I don't recall where) on how to change the lockscreen and status bar icons (using the ones from an icon pack). I've done it and loved it since then; the only thing is I don't find that post anymore and I would love to do it again. It involved downloading an actual EMUI theme, renaming the icons and repacking the EMUI theme to use in the Theme app on our Huawei phones.
Does anyone have a link to that post? I would love that!
Thanks a lot !!!

And the status bar can be found here

I am only making this thread because alot of people want these two mods and it seems as if not too many people can find these easily.
I hope this helps someone.
the status bar link you posted doesnt work very well. for any launcher other than stock unmodified sense (which very few people use), the transparency only works half the time, and it is most often just blackbar. also, the images look all pixelated, something the guy who released those never fixed (but he said he would). but the pulldown transparency works fine. hopefully someone released an updated status bar transcenparency .zip soon
Sorry man ive only use the pull down zip.
As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!
Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>
I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?
I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.
I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?
+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.
i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw
I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.
Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

ditto. i actually have a fully transparent status bar i can put in some themes but it only works with the stock android launcher. works with the stock gb launcher as well
Finally getting Redemption to where I want it after a few days of tinkering. The last two things on my list are Handcent themes and wallpapers and the notification bar power widget thingy. Not sure what its called. I found a thread where it was made for RR v2.3, but it has green on indicators and I dont like that. I want it just your standard black/white icons and on/off indicators. Anyone know where I might find such things?
Hello,
Is there a way to change the status bar to a transparant one without having to flash some kind of tweaks?
I kina like my phone setup as it is right now (VI401 with nova prime) and have a hidden toggle to hide the statusbar on my homescreen.
The bar stay's visible at the lockscreen, whilst the info is verry handy, the black bar covers some of my wallpaper, and i don't like it this way.
Would it be possible to change the PNG file(s) with a transparant one at some location? Where would that/these locations be?
I'n quit new to android, and have no developpers skills. Finding correct dirs and making my own PNG files is no pob for me.
Cheers,
adam

Hey guys!
I have downloaded (from the Mate 10 thread) and installed various themes on my P20 and noticed that the icons in the settings menu do not change. When browsing the themes with winrar on my PC I can see the theme icons in the settings file but when I apply the theme on my phone the default icons appear.
Has anyone else noticed it?
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
Did you ever figure this out? I'm wondering the very same thing...
Theme manager in EMUI 8.1 don't accept all XML images from custom EMUI themes. Settings, status bar, notification and others not supported icon you must change by Substratum.
