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...

I've been playing around with a few themes and trying some stuff myself, mostly unsuccessfully, but a side effect is that now that I have it looking kinda how I want it I have one issue I can't figure out. The notification bar text, not all of it, just the very top with the date and time, is white. That makes it practically unreadable but I have no idea what file to tweak in which apk. The only options I have are to cry or see if anyone here can point me to the right thing to smack into shape. Anyone?
I realise this is a question and should technically be in Q&A but it's theme related.
you can use colorChange to change the text color, or you can reflash your rom. the clock and date and such are in services.jar, and the notification text is at framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml
So I have Froyo on my nexus one, and I'm trying to change the status bar.
I have used MetaMorph and NinjaMorph in the past with no problems.
However, whilst applying a morph, the wait just takes forever, and I get bored.
So I tried to make my own using NinjaMorph, same thing. It just takes forever.
Any suggestions?
What about the status bar are you trying to mod? In depth mods can not be done due to the odex'd files. You need to wait for the source or a way to de-odex the system files.
The background color/image. I know it can be done, I think. (How's that for a contradictory statement?) Right now its gray, but I'm shooting for more of either a black or possible opaque one.

I have only seen gray/clear. Look in the Themes section (should have been posted there in the first place) that is as far as they have come with themes, like I said, because of the odex's.

I have had no success with morphing the status bar in froyo....Britoso said he has, but I don't know his setup.
Imho your best bet is to flash from zip.
click below
CLEAR statusbar
GRAY statusbar
BLACK statusbar
There is a clear statusbar mod that has a black notification background, but it had to be flashed instead of morphed.
Or use adb...pull framework-res.apk, change images, push, reboot. Done.
Yeah, morphs don't work but you can pull the apk and change the images.
The problem is with the text colour at the moment, you can't change it because it's in code and for that we either need the source or the deodexed files so we can reverse engineer.
So, you can get any colour bar you want, you're just stuck with black text at the moment for clock, date and tickers.
Ok so i was searching around on the Desire thread and stumbled across this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970.
As far as i can tell it does not work on stock based ROMS.. but it is suppose to work on most versions of CyanogenMod.. I will most likely be trying it out soon and will report back afterwards..
I've used it a few times with sense roms but it doesn't allow you to change much, just the notification bar really.
It works on sense. I changed the battery icon and the boot screen animation.
Okay I stand corrected. This does work for stock ROMS.. Though its not quite an entire theme.. It is a nice and easy way to change notification icons, battery icon and status bar..
I am using the GalaxyS theme with Vegan 5.1 right now and for the most part I really like it, problem is the status icons are horrible. I tried pulling the green icons out of the GreenV2 theme and using ninjamorph to combine them with the GS theme. (I would just flash the GreenV2 theme, but I can't stand all the other green stuff in it) Anyway, whenever I push the framework back in with NM, I go into a bootloop.
Can anyone with experience with this stuff find it in their hearts to combine these two themes and create a flashable zip? All I want are the status icons and I can provide all the files needed since they don;t seem to be readily available on the forum anymore.

Thanks GTO777!
Ok, somebody please help me out here before i go insane. Ive read countless threads and forums on this and it makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL.
im running Darky's newest Rom, rc4. with the Steelblue theme overtop of it.
Right now im trying to further modify the notification bar, more specifically im trying to change the the color of bar that says "On Going" and is circled in Pink.
also want to change the bottom of the pulldown bar also circled in pink.
And if possible i would like to change the background part that is circled in green.
since theres this new post rule its not letting me post a screenshot but the link is below
members.shaw.ca/ignite1/screenshot.png
i have tried editing all the status_bar_XXXXX.png files in the framework-res.apk, but i havnt been able to change the stuff i have circled. Partly because i dont think im even looking at the right files, as in there not in the framework.apk
someone help me out please!
Im pretty sure you are using a samsung
So, those images you wanted to change are in twframework.apk
For Gingerbread roms, those files are in SystemUI.apk
