I have installed a white theme that i really like but now the text from status bar can't be seen as it is also white. Is there any way without root to change text colour or background? Changing the theme picture top could also be an option if i could find it and paint it dark but it's downloaded from theme store. Can it be found and be modified?
Did you find a way around this?
I once had an app called super status bar installed. It doesn't affect the original status bar (because AFAIK that's not possible without root) - but it replaces it completely and you can customize it then freely.
There are probably several other status bar replacement apps on the Play Store too, there should be something fitting for you.

i have seen many "glass" statusbar and other transparent ones, however, they are not fully transparent as they still have this rectangular shape to it at the top of the screen, also, the signal strength still has its own black background
would someone kindly make a morph that would enable a fully transparent status bar, with the icons found in desire notification bar?
and when a pull down is done, the bar turns black and the pull down background is also black transparent like the nextheme?

- fully transparent will make any white text unreadable when there is an app with a white background like the browser running.
- there are signal strength morphs with a transparent bg. check the morphs thread
you could just take the desire status bar morph and make the status bar background image transparent...

i thought of that, but i didnt find a morph that only applies transparency to my current status bar
try this one. As I said above there are serious limitations when its 100% trans.

this is exactly what i was looking for!
thank you!
i see what you mean with this limitations, i,e with the browser!
if only there is a way to make the status bar respond differently with apps with different backgrounds.

Can you compile a theme that is not 100% clear, but something like 90% -
Looks like the Glass Status Bar - i've tried downloading the Glass status bar a few times but it does not work for me on Cyanogen 5.0.6 - AT ALL.
one time it even crash my rom so bad i had to nand restore!
Thanks,
Guy.
You can try it with the newest metamorph version. cyanogen rom makes a bit troubles by patching the framework-res.
Stericson has made an option in his app, that allows us, to apply the morphs not too fast.
I don't know why, but on mcr roms its easier to make metamorphs.

When download your Glass Status Bar i got the error with
"he theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing.........." - i have the latest metamorph from market,
What am I doing wrong?
Then you have renamed the *.zip file I think. (Or it's renamed by your download manager)
The name of zip file AND the *xml file must be the same or you get the error.
Before applying the morph, press menu and choose a not so speedy value.
i`ve ported a simple black bar from other theme sources (thx for let me steal the images ) for CM-5.0.7-T2-N1.
use it only with CM-5.0.7-T2-N1! will not work with "15 recent apps mod"!
i`ve also done a default white bar update.zip if you want to revert.
install: flash from recovery
black bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Black_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
default white bar: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/887731/Default_Bar_5.0.7t2.zip
Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for it since 507T2 was unleashed.
It's been bugging me and I've not had time to work out how to do it myself.
Much appreciated.
Any chance you could do this over again and have green highlights/selections like desire with the same black bar?
I had the Kspec Monster theme on and I love the desire effects but it had the standard greyish notification bar.
I don't know how to fix it up myself and I tried once and got stuck in bootloop!
Thanks.
Batttery meter needs aligning if using with kspecs battery icons..
some notifications from apps (for example quick settings) in the "ongoing" pull down section have black font. black font on black background is not quite readable.^^
all other notifications in the pull down section are white, only the third party apps notifications have black font.
does anybody know where to change this font color?
hmmm, the black font in some notifications is a problem with black item backround.
so i changed status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png to default white and focus and pressed to desire green. updated version with screenhot in first post.
Hello,
We users of Note1 is having status bar all the time at the Top and I want to change the following:
1] Change the color to black as it was originally back in Gingerbread... In JB they changed (Official stock) to dark grey!
2] Have Status Bar like in Note 3 ,i.e, all info. is still displayed but beneath the screen wallpaper, so that it blends.
I am not rooted, but all kinds of tricks and links will be appreciated.
1. Use a different launcher like Nova.
2. Modify the systemui.apk yourself by decompiling and editing.
3. Root, use xposed framework and modules to change the status bar to black, transparent, or whatever color you like.
Does anyone know how to change the notification bar colour from black to white?
Do you mean the regular emui notification bar? It adapts to the background image you set, so just set a brighter image or edit your current background to include a white bar at the top, though that would look a bit ugly.
If you mean the background when you pull the notification bar down, then you should have a look at custom emui themes, or even make your own somehow.
No i meant the actual expanded notification bar as the black doesn't work well with most apps and huawei uses black font as well when displaying notifs. I only think huawei themes work with stock launcher? And i use nova... Thanks anyway
I think the themes work everywhere, no matter what launcher (at least the notification bar part should). Not all themes include a modified notification bar though, so I think you could try one that definitely does change the notification bar and see it works for you in Nova launcher as well.
I'm attaching a theme I know for sure features a different notification bar for you to try. I also know it's terribly ugly but it's just for testing purposes, once you confirm that it does change the notification bar color for you, we could start disassembling the theme to only take out the interesting parts and adapt them to a different theme after changing the image from greenish to something more white-ish
PS. I had to change the extension to .zip for the board to accept the attachment, please change it to .hwt after you download it and move it into "/sdcard/HWThemes" so the theme manager can find it.

I've tried 4 different exposed module's and haven't been able to successfully change the icons on my H810(10b). Has anyone found a module that did work to change the nab and status bar color? Other then running a theme engine is their any way to change the icons in the system directory? I'd really like to do some theming and color changes aswell.
