I was wondering if it is possible to install a fully working white notification bar on the Evil Eris ROM v3.0. I've tried searching the forums and have installed the bar successfully, but the clock is white on a white background, which is extremely annoying. I've tried fixing it with the new spare parts by changing the clock color and still no go. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
try going into the zip file for the white notification bar and changing it? I dont know, im basically a noob, just about a year of experience
Changing the clock color requires you to edit the services.jar file. Do a search of the entire site on changing the clock color.
I've done it before but it's not easy. Requires smali and baksmali and opening up a classes.dex file.

Anyone who wants to play around with the status bar at the top by changing colours e.g. from standard black to white just edit the file attached. Leave it in png format and the name as it is. Just edit the colour. Use adb or metamorph to include it in a theme or your choosing. And only place it in the following 2 folders - framework-res\res\drawable-480x320 and folder - framework-res\res\drawable-land-480x320.
It may not be necessary for both but it works for me. Jus thought to pass this info on. Cos Im working on icons. All creds to Ratcom as I was searching for this in one of his themes and Foxy Editor dev as I can edit the colour on my phone and also to the dev of Astro for making it easy2copy and paste
cheers guys/girls.
then how will you make the clock and date font color to black? becuase white text on white bar wont be visible.
Jm still playin around with other files at the moment. But when i do findout it"ll be on here.jus wanted2share the truble it takes for newbies
So, I used the AXMLPrinter2.jar to turn the status_bar_item_background.xml to a human readable file. Then I put it into my MetaMorph zip, and it's causing reboot looping.
I wanted to know whom knows where to make the Notification Bar transparent. It seems there is a color hex some where in an xml because after I made a transparent png there was still a black background...
I am trying to theme my status drawer. I am having a heck of a time finding the files to change the color and images of the toggles in the drawer (WIFI,Bluetooth,GPS,Mute,Rotate).
I have been looking in:
framework-res.apk -> res-> drawable-hdpi
I attached a image of what i am trying to change.
I would love some direction on this. Thanks.

Answer: twframework-res.apk
Changed:
-Greenish/blue on/off switches to truer blue with a fade out on either end
-Drawer background to pure black with 80% transparency (i think ill go 90 later)
-Drawer handle partially transparent
-Screen rotate Icon replaced
..I removed them completely, as I nerver understood, what they were for.
so, im new to theming... and im working toward getting a black status bar... i have pulled 'framework-res.apk' from my phone and modified 'status_bar_background.png' to black and replaced it in the apk... is there anything else that i need to do, or can i safely push it back to my phone and test it? all i want to do change is the status bar color from that icky blue to black... not change the color of the clock/text, etc... just want to be positive i can go forward, thanks
i figured the general section would be best, since i dont have a working black status bar yet to share with everyone... my apologies if it should have been posted in themes instead
EDIT 1: for the record, i am running the stock deodexed 890 from rootzwiki... i tried it, and it booted fine, but the only black in the status bar is the notifications area in the drop down... going to continue on my quest to get a fully black status bar lol... will continue to post edits of my advancements as i make them
Hello Community,
I´m currently trying to find out which sections in the SystemUI.apk from ICS I have to change to get a white-based ICS.
What I want to change are mainly the notification bar, notification bar expanded background, drawer background, system settings background and the overall text color (would be hard to read atm since it would be white on white )
Does someone know which values I have to change?
I already decompiled the systemUI.apk with help from the JB Theme tutorial, but JB seems to be slightly different.
kind regards
no one who knows them? :l
im pretty stuck atm.
