[Theme] willverduzco's PURE Blackbar for CM 6.1.1 *XML Color Import!* - Now with "4G"
[About]
My goal with this was to create a bar that is PURE BLACK, unlike the gradient bar in HTC Sense, while retaining much of Sense UI's style. As such, this MORPH is heavily based on the HTC Desire Notification Bar. To my eyes, the Sense UI gradient is simply too close to black to look intentional, yet not close enough to look good. It sort of reminds me of an LCD with a back-light leakage problem. Additionally, I created a new, more streamlined notification drawer pull-down image.
This theme has THREE versions: A version with white notifications (classic edition), a version with black notifications (zip file ending with _BN), and a "Faux G" version with black notifications (zip file ending with _BN-4G).
This MORPH is intended for CyanogenMod 6 and beyond. However, it should work with almost every other HDPI ROM, assuming that you have a way to change the status bar and notification text color to white.

White Ongoing Notifications (classic)
[Installation Instructions]
1. Download and install the latest version of MetaMorph (by Stericson) from the Market.
2. Turn on USB Debugging under the Android Settings -> Applications -> Development Menu.
3. Open MetaMorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme."
4. Select the appropriate version of my theme, click "Apply All," and reboot when prompted.
5. Change your carrier, clock, date, and notifications colors. (See below for instructions.)
[Changing Text Color Automatically - BN and BN-4G only for now]
-CM6.1 and beyond: Unzip Notifications_XML-FOR_CM6.1.zip and put the CMTheme folder on the root of your SDCard. Import the colors through the following: Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Select A Theme
-CM6: Unzip Notifications_XML-FOR_BN.zip and put cmparts_ui.xml on the root of your SDCard. Import the colors through the following: Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Import Colors from XML
[Changing the Text Color Manually - All ROMs]
BLACK ongoing notifications bar version
1. Navigate to Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Status Bar Customization.
2. Change the following fields to white (#ffffffff): Battery Percentage, Clock, Carrier PLMN Label, Carrier SPN Label, Notifications Ticker, Notifications Count, Items Title Color, Items Text Color, and Items Time Color.
3. Change the following to black (#ff000000): No Notifications Title, Clear Notification Label, Ongoing Notifications Title, Latest Notifications Title.
WHITE ongoing notifications bar version
1. Navigate to Android Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Status Bar Customization.
2. Change the following fields to white (#ffffffff): Battery Percentage, Clock, Carrier PLMN Label, Carrier SPN Label, Notifications Ticker, Notifications Count, No Notifications Title, Ongoing Notifications Title, Latest Notifications Title.
3. Change the following to black (#ff000000): Clear Notification Label, Items Title Color, Items Text Color, and Items Time Color.
[Changelog]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None
Black Notifications Edition
1.2 - Discovered when looking in low light that the PNG incorporated in v1.1 wasn't truly 100% black. I replaced the PNG with a new one with RGB values of 0,0,0.
1.1 - Incorporated Eddiemc's changes for dark Notification Panels.
[Known Issues]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None
Black Notifications Edition
-A very small percentage of applications employ their own methods of coloring their ongoing notification text. This cannot be changed with something like Cyanogenmod settings. This is no longer a bit issue because CM6 RC3 and beyond include a version of MusicMod that uses the system-wide notification text color.
[Future]
Classic (White Notifications) Edition
-None. This seems complete unless someone wants different icons.
Black Notifications Edition
-Look for a way to force all notification text to be white, even for troublesome apps.
[Troubleshooting]
-Morph stuck at "Applying" indefinitely? Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
-Morph only applied to part of the bar and looks bad? Make sure you have custom notification and pulldown bars disabled. (CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Notification Colors and disable Custom Notification and Pulldown bars.) Also, if you're on CM 6.1+, go to CyanogenMod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extras -> Select a Theme and pick Stock. Reboot then reapply the theme.
-The latest version of MetaMorph works again. If you have issues applying the theme, and you have already made sure USB debugging was enabled, try the version of MetaMorph that I have uploaded as an attachment.

Credit: Thank you very much XebozZ for creating a wonderful base from which I created this Morph, Eddiemc for helping make the first _BN version, and obviously Cyanogen for pumping out CM6 RC!
Applied and it works great! Thanks man!
This is awesome, 5 stars. Thanks man. Pure black >>>> Desire grey IMO, and is great for showing off the great black levels of the AMOLED. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. I've tried myself and failed.
It would also be cool if the pulldown notifiations are also black/dark with white font, I guess with the standard colors inverted. I think it's tricky it needs to be configured on an app level (I think, but am not sure). Anyways, if there's a toggle between standard/inverse color, that would also kick much ass.
Can you make an enomther version please?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks. This is very nice indeed.
Thanks for the comments guys, and I'm really glad it works to your liking! And yeap, denimjunkie82. Precisely why I did it! Black looks so good on AMOLEDs!

I'll gladly see what I can do, but unfortunately I'm actually unfamiliar with Enomther's ROMs. Could you please tell me if his ROM has a settings panel inside his ROM, in which you can enter the aRGB values for notification colors (or does his ROM let you import SpareParts XML files like CyanogenMod does)? If so, this MORPH should work with minimal or no changes. If it doesn't have that option, I'm going to have to find out a way to change the text colors first.

Nope, as easy as walking, on cm6
Swap "status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png" in framework res to one that's black instead of white, and change text to white in CM settings.
Works on all app notifications, I'm using it myself. Black's nicer than white!
-e
edit... throw the png file into the framework res folder of the original morph, or just use the modified version attached (hope the op doesn't mind..)
Then change item notifications color in cm settings to white (#ffffffff)

Of course I don't mind. It saved me from figuring out the filename myself, which is much appreciated, so thank you very much for your contribution!
Appropriately, I have added your name in the _BN Morph, and in the original post.
I love it! I've always wanted to change that color. It works great thanks.
Can anyone verify the white text on black bars works on the Music app and Quick Settings? I've tried various morphs a few months ago and these apps leave black text in the Notifications panel no matter what, but that was before the Spare Parts method in Cyan 508-600RC.

First issue found... I've added it into the main post. Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, the spare parts method doesn't seem to change the music player text. A decent alternative would be to use the classic version with the black text and white ongoing notifications menu, as the text would appear as normal. I believe that these apps must be using some code on a per-app level that does this, as there simply isn't another field that I could see modified. This reason why they did this is likely because it has two slightly different colors (a black and a grey) in that notification.
Hopefully someone knows how to change the music player's text in the notification bar.
Here is a picture of the issue:
EDIT: Looks like it's true. It's probably part of the app itself.
In all honesty, though, this is a very minor issue, and if you don't know what song you're playing through the media player from your own music library, there may be another problem, haha. That said, I will see if anyone has come up with a real solution. I don't want to tell you to hold your phone a different way, haha. Oh wait, that's another company.
Awesome notification bar!
I'd like the gradient on the notification bar itself, with a gradient on the pull down notification. I somehow managed to mix this Metamorph, with another and got what I wanted (by mistake!).
If it's not too much trouble, could I get a .zip file (exactly like the you uploaded) but with a gradient (like the desired) notification bar?
looks good ima trying it out now what i been looking for

Notifications on black:
Yea, I just noticed this just now. As op states above, music app doesn't work properly.
I'm using spotify, so I never checked the music app... (btw spotify get white text as it should)
Quick Settings actually has an embedded option to change the text color (normal: white, inverted: black) so so that's no problem
All other apps I've seen works well (gets white text).
On cm6 we are all using the modded music app by Eliot Stocker, so I reckon he should be able to add an option to invert text (like quicksettings) if some of us asks him.
-e
edit....
If someone (op *hint hint*) want to ask him about notification color invert: http://twitter.com/eliotstocker
edit2...
For the more hardcore ones, adb pull the music app, change the xml settings for notification color in Music.apk\res\layout\statusbar.xml (this is beyond me atm, but I might give it a stab) adb push the app back, and voila you'll have white text
edit3...
I pass.
Here are the files if someone can pull this off. As far as I know, due to the way android works, the xml file needs to be hex edited.. I just cannot work out where the changes needs to be
edit4...
Even though I don't use the music app, this issue really bugs me..
If we can get the xml file changed, it can even be included in the morph (or as a seperate morph) so nobody has to adb.
I just posted in eliots thread about the settings option, so perhaps that works out, if not I'll ask his permission to pm around a bit to find someone who can edit the xml.
Now I'll stop editing this post
Is it possible to have an update.zip version of the Black Ongoing Notifications (new _BN version) please.
Don't like to isntall metamorph to install theme.
Black is really beautiful
Thanks.

Wow, good job. I don't use CM myself but I know a lot of people will appreciate this.
Just a quick status update to let everyone know that the issue will be fixed soon.
Eliot Stocker, who wrote the music app in CM6 just got back to me saying that he would add the feature into the next release. Thanks for the twitter link Eddiemc, and thank you again for all of your help!

Glad you like it. Actually, if you want a bar with gradients, though, you should check out XebozZ's gradient bar. He did a great job with that. My goal with this one was to not have a gradient so that it shows off the wonderful AMOLED blacks that we have!

I forgot to make Nandroid backup under Amon_RA
Now after a new reboot i have a fresh CM6 with black notification bar but text are all black i'll try to change theme manually in CM6 custom option menu.
BTW thanks.
Applied, it is a very nice bar. Thanks!

Not yet, but... I've pulled the framwork-res.apk and modified the backgroud to the task bar and have attached the results.
I haven't modified anything else in the bar, hence the icons for signal etc are still blue/black... but I will do.
The only problem with this is what colour do you have the text on the bar, as the background in apps also comes through
(I was thinking that instead of a fully see through bar, that I'd create an opaque one when I get home, as I only have paint on this PC)
EDIT: I was also looking to modify the lock screen to be slightly opaque, to match the bar at the top
Will post updates here once I've done them
Looking forward to the results!

can u remove the background of those icon ? that dark blue ?
and also instead of fully transparent , we can go like windows 7 style ie Glass effect .. it would be much cooler..
nice modding there... everything is good for me with launcerpro , except for the status bar whic is dark blue.. doesnt suite my theme...

I can remove the background to the icons, there is just a lot of them and I am at work, plus I have photoshop on my mac at home, and only MSpaint here.
I'll see what I can do for the glass effect, and was thinking of doing a few different see through colour variants (i.e. black, white, red etc)
As before, I think the main issue is going to be the text, but if there is a tint of colour, it should be easy enough to read (we'll see)
Hopefully I'll be able to put up a very beta version today or tomorrow, including the lock screen mods so you can see how it will look.
I'll put a new thread up when I have this beta bit done

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Metamorph app, so will give it a go.
I've been using adb to test
Update Time!
Quick update, its a little trickier than I originally anticipated, but more or the status bar icons have been updated (I still have a lot to do yet)
So, I thought I'd show what I have done so far...
As you can see, some of the test is difficult to see in the bar, but this should be fixed once I've get a decent glass like effect on the bar. If you're using a dark background, this is fine, but lighter backgrounds are not so good.
Also, the text and debug mode icons are not done, and some of the battery and internet down/upload icons are also not done (100 and 80% for battery are complete, and the icons where 3g is enabled but not uploading or downloading are not done.)
Still, I think there is decent (ish) progress, and hope to get something you can use after the weekend (maybe before it's out, but I don't want to follow SE's example of giving crap release dates )
PS. Sorry for the quality of the attachment, I use screencast through my PC which doesn't scale down well but is quicker than using a screenshot app on Android

Right, almost there with the black transparent bar...
Take a look at the screenies
I'm in process of writing an installer, but its late, so I'm not finishing it now.
What I have now will be the first version, I will be changing the lock screen and other home screen bluenesses (like where I have Vodafone and ongoing, I will make them match the colour of the status bar)
I will also be adding a few more colours, preferably from the same installer, but we'll see how that goes.
Finally, I want to change the white background on the status dropdown to be the same as the status bar, eg, in this case, black and transparent.
looking good dude

Indeed, this is lookin great. I do really really like the looks of the status bar.
An idea, I know your still in very early stage atm but when you release it with your installer why not make it configurable? What I mean is so when your installing it asks you what bits you want in your choice of colours. So it would be customisable and everyone could have a version of some spec of colour that would suit any theme.
This would make a great paid app if you ask me...

Great work/concept so far!
I had thought about trying a translucent status bar background before. Can't wait to see it.
I'm trying to learn about theming a little too when I have time...
ccan u share the files... we could also work on it .. while u can compile the installer
Looks really sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
BTW, very beautiful babe you have on your screen.
Theme for Overcome 1.6.X (CWM)
This is just the start of my theming with help and suggestions i will improve it!
The Transparent notification bar will only work with a live wallpaper! (Static wallpaper doesn't scale under the bar so remains black)
If you want a static wallpaper try "multi picture" livewall from the market
(Im using launcher pro and 180dpi)
Thanks to "galaxyer, kay kiat88, Rainbow ng and others" for all the help!!!
Minimal v1.1
Power Options Done!!
General clean up of Framework!!
Minimal v1.2
Changed the brightness slider colour to fit the theme!
General clean up of Framework!!
Minimal v1.3
Graphical Changes on pulldown bar
Less Transparent
Fixed extended menu text
Coming in next update
change the carrier text colour (when i find out how)
Placed in the zip
My live wallpaper. there a choice of 3 pics just select them from the wallpaper settings once installed!
My dockbar and blank png for launcherpro!
Open the zip on desktop! and pull out the update.zip , wallpaper, dockbar
-update.zip install with clockwork mod or push with root explorer!
-Use apk manager or same sort of app to install the wallpaper! My live wallpaper. there a choice of 3 pics just select them from the wallpaper settings once installed!
-Apply dockbar using launcher pro (settings/appearance/dock background)
and use the blank.png. for the app drawer icon!
Enjoy!
unfortunately i reverted back to overcome 1.4.5 due to some contacts issues with 1.6.1
i'll help u bump up the post
nice theme
GREAT WORKS
will try and give you my feedback
cheers
By the way
Just a quick Qn
May i know what is the colour of the system fonts? is it green or default blue?
Thx...
I love your minimalistic theme and i flashed it right away.
But there are some difference between your screenshots and your flashed theme on my Tab.
See my screenshot and yes i wiped the dalvik after applying your theme.

If your still having a problem with the black text try putting the framework-res.apk in manually with root explorer!
I personally place the framework in the "overcom rom.zip" from my desktop
So maybe the cwm update is not working properly!
I dont have the text problem???
i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque
the brightness bar is cool

I'm back again and tested your update.
First tru CWM and second tru Root explorer.
Everytime i wiped the Dalvik and still the same problem.
So i did a new rom flash currently Overcome 1.6.3.
Did the same thing over again to apply your theme.
As you can see there is still a difference between your screenshot and mine.
- i got text beneath the powerbuttons
- my display brightness shows text
- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

Try the new update! but not sure if it will work! i placed the strings.xml and arrays.xml in all the values folders (locales) so hopefully it will!
if not let me know! i will look into it when i get the chance!!

i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque

Did not work still the same issue.
The powerbutton and display brightness text.
But the notifications text has change into white font
well.. its not a bug but the problem im having is.. for example, when i pull down the notification bar, i can see the transparent layer which is fine but the transparency or alpha value for the transparent layer is too low for my liking. i sometimes cant distinguish between the items on notification and the items in the screen below the notification transpancy layer.

Hey guys, i thought it would be nice to have a little overview of which substratum modules there are to change the icons in our statusbar on oxygenOS.
I found a few ones. If you know some more that work, please write them in the thread and i will add them in this post.
I wont add screenshots since you can see the icons most likely in playstore pictures.
Note: I only tested and can confirm to be working the statusbar options in the themes. Other theming options in the themes like framework might end in bootloop.
So lets start:
ModernUI Theme free
Outline Theme paid
Compound paid
StatusBars Beta free
Battery Icon Mod paid (thx @Xceeder)
Status paid - only mobile signal icon and silent mode icon seem to work
Belo paid (thx @L0cke)
Signal & WiFi icons paid (thx @svandasek)
Substratum Theme Vector paid (thx @Nishidh)
S.i.X Theme free (thx @KpChuck)
Now its your turn guys, let the list grow.:good:

Go to the playstore type substratum and install , easy really then all you have to do is select the items you want to theme for example systemUI , settings , qs tiles , battery etc and install the layers , if you want a full guide then check on YouTube on how to use as always though when messing with system files please make a nandroid backup ...

Thank you, will add it.
# Status theme added.
Only 2 icons get changed. So not really worth it i guess, but ill add it to list.
I tried Belo (paid), which is really nice, but doesn't theme the WiFi icon. Will keep searching for more...
Nice

Yea, wifi icon is a problem in a lot of themes. It workes though in ModernUI, Compound and Outline.
All other icons work in Belo? Then i will add it.

No specific status bar options in these, but they're the only (I think) themes that are actually fully compatible with OOS
good !

Oh shoot, my bad. There are indeed no status bar options in this mod. I thought this thread was for substratum themes in general. Still a great addition imo, the black theme is dope!

Yea battery icon isnt changing in any theme i think. I use 3minit battery mod for that.
Hello guys,
I am learning to make substratum themes, am pretty successful and I want to make one specially for the statusbar. It would be 100% compatible with non one ROMs like oos.
I have some pretty cool icons already, but I don't have that much ideas anymore
So, if you want, you can post or describe an icon u want to have themed.
I will do it, and publish on play store.
All ideas are appreciated

I think it can happen, just make a theme that has transparent values for notification backgrounds (if alpha values are valid on it) , but it will look weird and a lot of ghosting can occur.
The thing is themes like that can never have theme store release. (coz official theme editor won't allow that kind of modification or alpha editing on notif. bg.)
I really miss the 'old school' themes that were black and blue with glass or transparency effects, nowadays most themes seem to be bright whites or pastel colours or dull material themes hmm

Yeah, true. Me and my team developing themes for a long time we can do 95% full themed on any devices with themestore incl notifications, icons..email, themestore, live lockscreen ect. STE (Samsung theme editor ) that's fun for the started themer and it's regular Samsung theme store stuff... Most codes u have to added manually also bg, png, 9-patch and so on...
It's take many hours...[emoji1]
