I have seen information scattered about this forum on how to display the date and time on the title bar. I cannot find it but someone was saying you can avoid having the date truncated by changing the short date time format. However, I am unable to alter the short datetime format as it is a drop-down combobox which only allows my to select two options - and I cannot customize it. Where do I customize that ? I cannot find anywhere in theregistry for doing this. Also, the date is bold and the time is not. How do I change it so neither are bold?

I am using cyan 4.0.4. Prior to rooting, I used OpenHome which allowed me to make the icon text background transparent (by default it's black). Is there anyway for me to achieve this without having to install OpenHome? I have searched all over this forum, googled it, etc and cannot find any info on it. Thanks in advance for any help!!
Since I haven't received a reply, I'm assuming there's not a way. Let me ask this. Is there any way to remove the text for desktop shortcuts completely?
I am curious about this also. I actually did not realize this was an option with open home. How do you do it with OH?
With OpenHome loaded, go to Settings, then Text Fonts & Color, then Edit Shortcut Text and Background. From the drop-menu, select either Background Color or Text Color then use the slider to set the Opaqueness to 0 for either or both
how to display the date in s2u2,just show time?

I'm using a Milestone with CyanogenMod 7.1.0 by nadlabak and lense lockscreen style like in attachment.
Now i want to change the clock and date color, because black is unreadable on a dark lense. To change the the color in keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml doesn't work but this xml is in use. I don't know why, if i add a text in this xml, it's shown on lockscreen, but the time/ date color will not change.
I found Lockscreen.smali in android.policy.jar but don't know where i have to change the text for another color and to add the custom messages like in SlidingTab Lockscreen. If it's possible i want the lense style with the standard lockscreen messages for battery charging, alarm and maybe carrier.
Can anybody help me?!
I have the same question，any one help？

Great link
If i've found something in google, i wouldn't ask ...
Is there nobody who gets an idea?
you know stock android lockscreen these two sliders??
when you tap on it and slide you will see text UNLOCK (left slider) or SOUND TEXT (right slider)
am pretty sure that keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file is for this style of lockscreen not for lense
IMO: keyguard_xxx.xml works when our lockscreen is protected only, so there must be other (more global) file to edit it
ja

yes i know, but i've added a text in keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml "Phone locked" u see in the screen. And this text is also shown with lense style, so the xml is in use. But the must be something else, other settings or smali settings i think, to switch off/on the custom messages, date, alarm or whatelse on lockscreen.
Well I really look forward to get it white. I just made lense lockscreen for my MEIZU theme and it would look awesome with white text.

Same problem here. Neither adding textColor to keyguard_screen_lock.xml or keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml changed anything in Lense.
Would really appreciate help here.
Thanks!

someone managed to theme it for the ns/ns4g been meaning to poke around with it but i'm passed the balmer peak and officially trashed. So i post it here for those of you who are still looking for a lead.
@themapleboy this is not what we are looking for time and date is still black and the rest is just png slider
Sorry about that i was slightly inebriated and thought that would have been a good lead, didn't realize it was just a png.
Any update on this? i too want to know
Battery Icon Creator is a program that will create a series of PNG files designed to be used as battery icons in Android ROMs and themes. It can create individual icons, a series of icons depicting percentage values, and a series of charging icons. With its ability to specify different templates, text settings, colors, and overlays, icons of all types can be generated quickly and easily.
System requirements:
- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or 7 (32- or 64-bit)
- .NET Framework Version 3.5
Battery Icon Creator is a greatly enhanced (and massively rewritten) version of the Battery Icon Maker utility by Jeffrey Smith (jsmith). I'm immensely grateful to him for his kind permission in allowing me to use his source code to create my program. Thanks, Jeff!
How to Use
The program is executed from the command line, and accepts only one parameter: a configuration file, in XML format, that defines the icons to be created.BatteryIconCreator.exe filename.xmlIf a filename is not specified, the program will attempt to load config.xml by default.
XML Configuration File
Sample XML configuration files are included in this package. Much of the format is self-explanatory, but several parts will be explored in-depth below.
The <Output> tag specifies the folder that will be used to store the generated icons. The Folder="directory" attribute is used for this purpose, and is required. The optional Preview="filename" attribute can be used to specify the name of a preview PNG file. This preview graphic will include all of the generated icons from the output folder. To keep the dimensions of this graphic manageable, no fewer than 10 and no more than 20 icons will be displayed per line.
The configuration file is divided into three sections: single, percentage, and charging icons. These sections are delineated by <SingleIcons>, <PercentIcons>, and <ChargeIcons> tags, respectively. Each section defines actions that are slightly different. Also, configuration files do not need to specify all three sections, but at least one section is required, obviously.
The <PercentIcons> and <ChargeIcons> sections defines how a series of percentage and charging icons, respectively, will be created. The program will normally create icons from 0% to 100%, for a total of 101 icons. This behavior can be altered in several ways. The Start="value" attribute can alter the starting percentage value (the default is 0 if not specified), and the Step="value" attribute can alter the interval between percentage values (the default is 1 if not specified).
The Filename="filename" element specifies the filename mask that will be used to generate the icon files. For percentage icons, stat_sys_battery_{0:0}.png is the filename mask that is normally used; for charging icons, it is stat_sys_battery_charge_anim{0:0}.png. Both can be changed if needed. The "{0:0}" section is standard nomenclature for replacing values in C#, and will be replaced with the percentage level. Thus, for example, the icon for 45% would be generated as stat_sys_battery_45.png.
The <Background> tag specifies the template graphic used for each icon. This is normally an "outline" PNG graphic that utilizes transparency. Samples here including horizontal and vertical battery and circular shapes.
The <Bar> tag specifies the name of the color bar that is used to fill in the percentage icon. The StartX/StartY/EndX/EndY="value" attributes specify the starting and ending positions for the fill process. Circular icons can be created by specifying StartRotate/EndRotate="value" attributes as degrees in a circle (0-360); these would replace EndX/EndY. Dotted instead of solid fills can be created by specifying DrawCount="value" and SkipCount="value" attributes. Sample XML files are included that illustrate how to do this.
The <Text> tag specifies the text mask used to create percentage values on the icon. Again, the standard C# "{0:0}" nomenclature is used to specify the percentage value. Font style, size, italics/bold, start/end, offset positions, and centering can be specified.
The <Level> tags indicate the highest percentage level for a specific icon style. Multiple <Level> tags allow changing the <Bar> settings depending on the percentage level; low percentage levels can use a red background, for example, with different colors used for higher levels.
<Bar>, <Text>, and <Background> settings will carry over from one level section to the next, unless overridden with new settings. This eliminates the need to specify these settings for each level section: the only ones that need to be specified are the ones that change at each level (i.e. different bar colors).
The <Overlay> tag is used to specify a PNG file that will be overlaid onto the generated icon. Typically, this is used in the <ChargeIcons> section to place a symbol over the icon to indicate charging, i.e. a lightning bolt. This graphic is placed over the icon after the <Bar> graphic drawing is done. If text is included, specifying the OverlayUnderText="true" attribute will specify that the graphic should be placed over the icon before the text is drawn instead of afterward (i.e. the overlay graphic will be "sandwiched" between the text and the icon).
The <SingleIcons> section is used to create individual battery icons that don't fit into the "percentage" paradigm. The <Icon> tag specifies the name of the file to be created, with an optional Level="value" attribute to specify a percentage level (default is 0) for filling the graphic. The <Background>, <Bar>, <Text>, and <Overlay> tags are used here just like they are in the percentage sections, except that here, the settings do not carry over: they must be specified for each <Icon> tag.
Sample Images
Horizontal battery icons
Vertical battery icons
Circle battery icons (solid)
Circle battery icons (dotted)
Tips and Suggestions
Icons of any dimension can be created with this utility; however, you should avoid creating icons that are larger than the allowable dimensions for the target device. For example, battery icons for HDPI-resolution devices should not exceed 38x38 pixels.
Overlay PNG graphics should use transparency so that the icon graphic itself will not be obscured.
Background PNG graphics do not need to use transparency, but it is generally recommended so that custom notification bar colors can show through. For example, the notification bar is normally black, so a background graphic with a black background wouldn't look out of place; however, it would definitely look out of place if the notification bar color was changed (via a theme) to red, green, etc. Making the background around the image transparent will allow the notification bar color to show, providing a cleaner-looking display.

Screenshots wouldn't be all that useful, I'm afraid; it's a command line app, not a GUI, and not very sexy to look at.
text smoothed and anti-aliased.
Nice program,
The version 2 of the program you used as reference, has this
1) The % text is now smoothed and anti-aliased.
I likes your better, because of the overlay, but the fonts are too pixelated
Thanks.... and let me know if you can develop that.
