Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)

that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency

Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031106
Is this something that can be done? If so please help by posting a how to, if already done please post a link to the right thread to goto.
Thanks,
Dan

That is for cyanogen mod 7...
The status bar isn't even handled the same way in honeycomb.
Is it possible on the transformer (or any other honeycomb device)?
Maybe, that method won't work though, it was done (most likely) by making an image transparent, I don't think the status bar background in honeycomb is an image (could be wrong here) but in the code somewhere instead.
And I know it isn't in the same location...
Good luck finding a honeycomb version of this, it would be a cool mod, but unlikely.

You may be able to create a theme with transparent images for the taskbar, this can be done using any version of photoshop.

You can't add background to status bar in Honeycomb as far as I know.

These aren't status bar backgrounds. The pcb background is part of the actual button/notification. I know because I've pulled this theme apart and looked at the images.

Best ways to modify status bar?

I'm on Oreo rooted. I see a lot of u guys with unique & great status bars. I don't need aosp status icons.
What methods, substratum themes do u use to modify the status bar icons & their positions?
I also need a way to display WiFi network speed icons

The following substratum theme can be used to modify statusbar icons. Personally, i'd like to use flux as its the closest to stock android.
1) Statusbar Icons for Samsung
2) Valerie
3) Yoru
4) Flux
5) Victory
As for the network speed, that's a CSC tweak which you can add to your csc by modifying the cscfeature.xml. Go to /system/omc/yourcsc
This is the code for it "<CscFeature_Setting_SupportRealTimeNetworkSpeed>TR UE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportRealTimeNetworkSpeed>".
Hit the thumbs up if i helped in anyway.

Many thanks! Victory is the only one so far that allows you to move the clock to the left.
I also found this for iOS dots signal: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-t3740749
I wanted a way to make the network speed (screenshot) smaller:

Why don't u just use a custom rom like Minotaurus which already has all these features since you're rooted anyways.

[THEME][SUBSTRATUM] Extras For AA - Personalize look of Android Auto

Are you bored of Android Auto UI? You can't stand the fact that on your car you have two clocks on the screen? Do you want to personalize your look of Android Auto tweaking the UI to your likings?
If yes is the answer to any of the questions above, you are in the right place!
Introducing my second Substratum Theme about Android Auto!
Extras For AA + Wallpapers For AA = :highfive:
Have you checked out my first substratum theme that changes Android Auto's default background? What are you waiting for? Get Wallpapers For Android Auto now and tweak Android Auto even more!
​
[/B]
In order to fully apply all the modifications, be sure to apply this theme on Substratum Lite
Don't know what the heck is substratum? Here's the official starting guide​
Here's a preview of what this theme can do:
One button mode
Two buttons mode
L+N = Launcher + Notifications
L+Q = Launcher + Quick access app
Three buttons mode
Others:
Tweak dimensions of bottom bar and status bar
Hide Status Bar
Make heads up notifications smaller and/or translucent
Hide totally bottom bar
​
Known bugs:
Overlays built stays pink on Substratum Lite after reboot
Workaround: please build & install an overlay with just the custom colours and then pick another extra.
[*]Applying black icons to bottom widget will result in a tiny rectangle around the icon
I have no clue on why this happens and whether it's fixable
[*]Gradient won't apply
Woraround: if you choose a gradient, also pick the extra to apply the gradient to what you want to theme at the same time and build & install. This should fix the gradient being not visible
Also, you might want to play around with the priorities tab in Substratum Lite. If you want gradient bottom bar, put it at the very bottom.
Also please note that an Android Auto update might break the theme. So if you update Android Auto, be sure to disable theme first, or it might be unusable
Download on Xda Labs!
