I'd be interested in this as well. More specifically achieving the gray bar on the Droid and I believe N1 as well.

like the subject says....
i have a rooted telus milestone..so i can't install roms...
i can however have fun with metamorph...
i've been dying for a black status bar with white font/time...
but all the ones i've found are for roms (dwang or whatever, cy, etc)
i was wondering if one exists for stock roms so we can just use it with metamorph...
thanks!
Creating a MetaMorph file is pretty easy and all you would need to do is dig through the ROM an figure out where those files are and what they are called.
definitely...i took a semi proactive approach and did edit a bunch of things just to test them out...
i was just working a huge week this week and didn't have time to sit aorund and mess with my phone, hehe
i still haven't found a metamorph that changes the font colour of the clock/notifications/etc in the notification bar...
also, i'm trying to figure out how to change the icons of an installed (non-stock) app...there are few mickey mouse ways to do, but not guide per se...if i have time, on wednesday, i'll write one up if i figure it out...
Has anyone figured out how? Last I checked, it wasn't possible to put white text on a black background or something

Look around in the Themes and Apps section; I believe there are quite a few mods out there to do this. Granted, you've got to be rooted to apply any of those anyway (I think?), so you might as well grab a Froyo ROM with it built in

I've been searching, but all of them seem to not be for froyo I'm already rooted so thats not a problem
Then check out the Kang-O-Rama Froyo release. It's got teh black bar sexiness with white text readability.
there is a black status bar for froyo but right around the clock area is gray due to the color problems... its def there, just look for the Morphs for froyo. I tried it, didnt like it, went back to solid gray
Froyo finally has a black status bar. I'm using the one with the gray clock area. But a few ROMs now have the full black bar.
Once official update is released it will be easy to do with metamorph.
I've tried the roadsms app on my Aria. It works but due to the size of the screen I'm missing 1/4 of the keyboard. So I know these apk's can cross builds. Could some kind member post the apk to the Captivate's notification bar? I don't know if it would work on Sense UI, but its worth a try! The Galaxy notification is sooooo much better than any other build. I mean, come on this is how it should be. Wifi, bluetooth and gps control is right there!!!
Anyways, someone whos rooted can you rip the xda-community your apk?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Here's the framework-res.apk file from my Captivate, which contains the notification bar AFAIK. FYI our doesn't have a GPS toggle though, just wifi/bluetooth/silent/vibrate.
I'm still somewhat new to android so I'm unsure of how you'd get this working on your Aria though. Good luck

Edit:Or maybe you'd need twframework-res.apk? http://www.mediafire.com/?4yter4knnfl1s28
Installing a different notification bar is not an easy process.
There's a whole lot of system-specific things going on with it, so moving the TouchWiz bar to a Sense phone will fail, and hard, perhaps to the point of preventing you from even booting, without some serious modifications to the framework-res.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
So I was using NinjaMorph to modify my status bar, and I was able to do it. However, after I changed how it looks, there was one problem. At both ends of the screen, it fades to black, instead of staying the color I want it to be. I can't figure out what I did wrong, or didn't edit correctly to get it to work right.
I have a Motorola Cliq 2, and I was modifying SystemUI.apk, if any of that makes a difference.
Picture attached is what my problem is.
If the only way to fix this is by actually learning how to theme, I'd be willing to learn, I just figured if I could do it this way, it'd be easier.
