Credit to jonnybueno for all of the edited .png files in here, I took 90 images from it. Sorry for the period of time this wasn't up here, I was drunk when I redid the thread.
I have received a few requests in the past for a black notification bar from some members, and figured that if a few people want it, well then more do as well request thread)

Old VersionsIf you need an older version shoot me a pm, comment in this thread, or look in the attachments. (it could be there depending on if it had the lockscreen in it.)
Sorry it has taken me so long to make an official update for this.
About various other apps/widgets being skinned, well basically you can take the apk that it is in the theme and put it on the root of your sdcard and do this in the recovery console
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
ls /system/app (only if you need to find the exact name, skip if you don't need the exact name)
cp /sdcard/exactappnamecapsandall.apk /system/app/exactappnamecapsandall.apk
awesome! keep up the great work

you are actually having a massive fail (but its ok). there are 3 files edited. one .png, one .xml, one .dex.
literally all this is is a black notification with the clock and date and the text for the notifications white.

Oh I see...thanks.
I would prefer black bars too, but the problem is that app icons are designed for white background, so some of them can't even be seen when the bar is black.

if there is a theme with icons you like i can pull them from there and drop them into it so that the icons are visible.

I personally never cared about the app icons on main screen; I only look at the tray icon and notification bar colors and icons.
The icons I'm talking about are notification ones like the one for Swift, which is just a black flying bird. This would be a black bird on black bar background, making it invisible.

ooohhh i was talking about battery, signal, wifi, notification icons, but yeah i can't really do anything about other apps
actually i think you could probably use that one method to do this also. where you make the apk match the theme. here wouldnt you just have to look for the png and invert the color? or no? i really dont know just says what I's thinks

i could but then if some of the apps or paid then it would be an issue of warez and i would rather not get into that. also it would need to be done every time the app is updated.
true. too much work and trouble. well then, guys if you want a simple black bar, be ready to sacrifice some notifications. none of mine are black, except weatherbug, but thank god you can change that one to white its an option in the app!

just download it, put it on the ROOT of your sdcard(meaning NOT in any folder) then go into recovery and just flash it like you would flash a rom.
basically its exactly the same as flashing a rom.
That's wat I did but it said bad file and then it aborted the instalation

hmmm. which one are you trying, also what did it say , did it tell you it was a bad file (i had that one with a rom, and redownloading it fixed it) or did it say something about about verification or not being signed properly?
I was flashing it normally and it said the blackbar(bad) instalation aborted I was using cm 4.11.1 but I will redownload and try again
i think it might be the signing thing.. does the file name have anything to do with it? cause i see for 4.0.4 it says signed but 4.1.11.1 does not. might be that?
crap i gotta go back to work. be back later!

nawh man, (or else i probably would've heard something from the 15 or 16 that have got it so far).
i think that means that the download got corrupted, try to redownload it and flash it again, if that doesn't work i will resign it and upload it again.
ok i tried redownloading but its not working with 4.1.11.1 then i tried to download the other one to see if it was a problem with my conection it downloaded fine. i think i might need a mirror
I dont have photoshop, but i need to have a see through or opaque picture to use as my lockscreen background. can anyone help me, or even make a quick one? with a grey background if its opaque.
BUMP! come on people someone must have photoshop, this would only take 5 minutes.
doesn't the one from the other thread work?....

Why someone with photoshop. It's just as doable with Gimp, a totally free image editor.
i dont have an image editor, slash i didnt know that. And its not the actual lock screen or anything i need.
i downloaded lockbot and you can use your own image as the background, so if i got a transparent one then i would have a transparent lockscreen..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707599
i modified the file from Cronos 1.7.1 so i'm not sure it will work for villainrom...
if you do want to try it ... do a nandroid or bart backup before you PUSH the file onto /system/framework folder
i think i tried that one before, but i'm not sure, i'll give it a shot.
it says verification failed?
If your looking to set an image as a lockscreen background its not as easy as having a transparent image. Android does not treat it as if it is transparent.
Hoping someone can work out a fix soon though.
oh i see. well thats helpful thanks. Also when trying to flash all these zips that people are putting together for me, when i try to flash them i get an error "verification failed"!!

There was a Vanilla ROM with transparent locksscreen. I think it even was SuperHero and I remember it coz people did not like transparent lockscreens. It made screen look messy. Also some other vanilla ROMs have semi transparent lockscreens - it shows only wallppaper, not all icons and widgets - which I found very cool, especially if you like live wallpapers. I want to make it work on sense ROMs, don't know how so

Have you got a rooted phone?
I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute
Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!
Thanks, got the lockscreen slides from alt+dark posted in the dark hero theme from somewhere. **Reminder** none of themes images are mine, I simply found and compiled them all to make a singular theme

but I really like how you made your theme dark n stuff its very nice , if you could make this into a metamorph theme it would be greatly appreciated, but if not its really no problem.
This is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing.
Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798
I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.
I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?
The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .
Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.
Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.
Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.
Hi all,
I've made my own "theme" (the word is a bit exaggerated) by using DHD-PowerControl-1.72.405.2_notxt and cook it with UOT.
The result is in blue in the screen below.
But, I'd like to swap it with the one made with the one made by he_stheone64 in PowerNotificationWidget2.2.1 (see the red rectangle in screen below).
The problem is that PowerNotificationWidget2.2.1 changes other things I wouldn't like to be scrashed (like icons above or non-transparent carbon-look background below).
Then I tried to do the same of what I did for the white one : cooking framework-res.apk. But I had the long error log you can also see below.
So, could someone help me to do that swap and perhaps if possible, make the little bars below each toggles a bit more green than blue.
Thanks for your help,
Lim.
I'm working on something similar as well - a notification bar power control, based on the latest 2.1.1 services.jar and the customisation app. The idea is that it's as close to stock framework as possible, so that it can be uploaded to UOT (or otherwise themed with metamorph etc.).
This is mainly just a learning exercise for me in decompiling and modifying files, but if it works I can share it. I find the toggles show up better on a black background than a white one, so hope to include black background as an option - though I think that might break compatibility with UOT kitchen, so there might have to be 2 versions. It's a work in progress, though, depending on my free time, so I can't promise when it'll be done. I'll post here if I get it working though!

Hi Preach,
So far, I managed to swap the toggles png's (taking png's from he_stheone64's file) but no way to find and put the black background.
I would also like to have the little bars below more green than current blue. For this I guess it's in an xml file, but can not find which one (and how to do).
Liamstears told me there's was a mistake he_stheone64 could fix, but it's seems not to the case. He also told me he could help me to fix that, but he certainly doesn't have time.
I don't know in which direction to go but if you have any idea, I would be happy to make tries with you.
Good luck
I made for myself something like this It is a little bit tricked but effect is like on screen. This mod has no transparency in notification but it looks as STOCK as possible cause i prefer stock one
To change colour of those indicators u use app (which is installed with PowerMOD) U got there color picker. With bacground it`s not so easy thats why i tricked it a little removed bacground of toggles (made it transaprent) and set up whole notifiacion with chosen background and effect U see is below:

Hi Krzysiec,
This is exactly what I'm looking for (and probably the same for Preacher65).
As I can see, your framework-res.apk is cookable in UOT (battery).
Below notification, you manage to keep carbon background instead of white background, is it made with the same tweak ?
Tell us when you post this mod
I`m afraid my mod isn`t compatibile with UOT ... only leamstear framework-res.apk is cookable in UOT. All thing I do is manually changed by me. It is the easiest way for me Guys cook in OUT icons U want and than manually mix them with for ex. my mod. Thats easiest way I make all my icons/mods/ manually automat will never generate icons I like Will post it as soon as possible. The trick is I set up ONE bacground for notification and Power mod ... this is only ONE SINGLE background ... PowerMod background is transparent so wee se background from notification (which is carbon one) So when U slide up notification area U see how background moves behind Toggles But in static position it looks like on the screen (for me PERFECT and AS STOCK AS POSSIBLE)

Ok I downloaded your PowerNotificationMod by Krzysiec but it doesn't look like your screen above (see mine below, where there is the carrier and the DesireHD mark at the bottom).
And I have to find a way to include the icons (see other screen) I cooked from UOT which has more than battery icons..
LOL Wrong file Will fix it in a minute
About icons... just pull them off from framework-res U cooked in UOT and drag and drop into my framework For battery U must replace all needed files and three compiled xml if U got different animation than BASIC from UOT.

Ok, for this, I can search for all the considered icons by comparing with the one shown in UOT and I guess they will crush over the existing stock one.
Is that right ?

I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
My battery icons are the one you see in my previous screen called "Version B, White numbers". So I think this is the basic from UOT. Aren't they ?
If not what are these 3 compiled xml and from wher do I take them ?
EDIT : I saw that you updated your thread at 14:55 (CET) so I thought you updated the file. But it's still the same look... Perhaps you didn't update ?
Fixed version (i hope so) is UP try it out
About icons...
Unpack framework-res.apk and go to res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) folder. U got there every signle icon. Names of them are the same as mine (they must be the same to sytem recognize them via xml)
For battery:
U will see plenty of icons in res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) folder too... as many icons as percentage in Your battery U will see it when U unpack Your framework.
About XMLs U need to pull three xmls from Your cooked UOT framework from res/drawable:
-stat_sys_battery.xml
-stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
-zzz_stat_sys_battery_1.xml
Those files are responisble for whole battery indicator. Just replace them with Your cooked one.
EDIT: should be fine now :/ YEs it was updated than ... Hmmm strange ... Wait a sec.
It must work: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17626742/Programy/PNotificationMODKrzysiec.zip
Checked graphic and there`re no more graphic like on screen (they were there at start but not now).
If in some way U won`t get it to work... Install my PureBlack skin and use it ... This will DEFINITELLY change those graphic. But How i said there no way to still have those hraphic there. Will check again for sure.
THIS ONE MUST WORK!
There`s no ..... way to not work
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17626742/Programy/PNotificationMODKrzysiec.zip
LOL, I promise I took the link from your post above, put the file in my DHD, flash it in CWM, reboot and took this picture below
EDIT : I cleared my cache, DL again, and same file seems to have different amount of bytes. I try again.
Just fresh flash (16:07) on mine and it looks like this (default skin):
I don`t know what`s wrong than :/ Maybe U flash all the time the wrong file which have the same name?
See my EDIT above : same name of file => so kept in FF cache.
Cleared cache, last file a bit bigger. Flashing now.

That`s definitely reason FF tought it was the same file so didn`t downloasd it again. CHROME makes it too saomtimes.

Extract two framework-res.apk from my and UOT... Put them in different folders. Than pull via WinRAR /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 from both (in their folders) Than mix graphic U want from Yours into mine and but them back into framework-res.apk of mine ... U don`t have to sign anything. After mixing put "new" frameowrk-res.apk into my zip and viola!
Of course i`m talking about statusbar icons only because if U change whole folder U won`t get effect like on screen U must see te structure of drawable-hdpi
If U like my battery animation do not change xmls i mentioned earlier If U don`t like it change them from Your UOT framework
PS. Now U understand HOW I DID THE TRICK with carbon background in my mod

I have been theming a KF1 build from the leaked KF1 firmware (Now have moved on to Cognition 5.2 but have the same problem) and have run into one seemingly small problem - - the drop down shade shows black text on the very first notification (for Lookout app). Please see attached screenshot.
I haven't been able to find the correct xml file to edit. Does anyone know of the "usual" file I need to edit to show white text instead of the black?
I apologize if this question has been answered before and I appreciate any help given.
ADDITION: I posted this in the Q&A section and have gotten no response. Hopefully someone will know a solution.
It also occurred to me yesterday to try and lighten the background to make the black text more visible. I'm currently trying that path but if anyone can tell me which text color attribute in which xml file for what apk to change to white, I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
That is because that notification is run by Lookout, you would have to edit/change some settings in Lookout to get the text to be white.

Thank you....I thought of that but I'm kind of bummed because Lookout updates semi-constantly. After an update I assume the text would go back to black.
I'll try it and see......stay tuned!
EDIT: Can't seem to find the apk for Lookout (not in system/apps) which makes sense since it is a security app. Oh, well....trying opacity with the background next
any chance of you uploading your theme at all?

srsly, looks sexy
You could try to do what I thought up of and make the background for notifications a gradient so though black text would still be harder to read, it wouldn't be invisible.

I will create a full CWM zip file tomorrow and upload it here.
My DSL is down until my ISP brings a new modem tomorrow.
Please know that I didn't do anything extraordinary...just changed some png files from some roms I liked as well as changed some colors here and there. I will try to give some credit where I remember.
I did add the AOSP lockscreen mod as well as the ui mod. Let me figure out who to credit so we all can recognize all the talented devs we all rely upon as well as admire.
Thank you for your interest and consideration!

I tried to upload my theme and screenshots but I think I uploaded the wrong files.
I did a complete reinstall of Cog 5 v2 to check the theme and it seems I'm missing something.
Oh well....learning here. Stay tuned!
I started fresh but am having problems making the shade background transparent.
Every graphic I can think of in SystemUI and Framework-res are 10-50% transparent and all I get is this gray background on the shade. Maddening!!
I borrowed the shade graphic from Blue Darkness just to test (in case anyone unzips the files) so I can see if I get a transparent shade.
Any suggestions would be apppreciated. Thanks!
ADDITION: For some reason every screenshot app I use discolors the blues and the reds/oranges. I apologize for the weird screenshots.
I am confused, what are you trying to do?
Oh, and protip, use ddms.bat in your tools folder of your sdk for screenshots. Not only is it easier to get the screenshots onto your computer (cause they already are...) they won't be scewy.

The apk is probably in data/app since you had to install it!
