I updated to Cyanogen 6 RC2 and noticed my task bar reverted back to white. I tried to use my morph to use the desire taskbar but it didnt work (due to metamorph not working for some reason). I then ran a diff black bar which did work with the updated version of metamorph and noticed the date in the taskbar was no longer present.
Is this due to the morph or is this due to cyanogen 6? can someone tell me? Also, is there a way to get it back?
Also i believe i was able to change my lockscreen caption with cyanogen 6 RC1 but i cant seem to find the option in RC2. did some searching and i see some .apk that need to be custom built in order to change it....is this true? or am i some how overlooking the option with cyanogen 6 RC2?
anyone have any light to shed?
Maybe I am missing something
You have changed settings->CyanogenMod settings->User interface settings so that nothing is showing up black right? I had the problem when I first morphed to the black desire bar. And you have to reboot the phone for the changes to take effect. I hope it's that simple.

thanks for the tip, but i did check that and thats not the problem...ive even gone as far as making everysingle color something non black so that way i can see which color represented what portion of the task bar. I think what happened was i flash a diff bar than the desire bar first but used the updated version of metamorph which doesnt work...i think that bar f'd with it to be honest.

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.
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.
ello guys im new 2 cyanogen
i chose this cos i was told its the best 4 customisin my fone, basically i wanna no the easiest way of changin the notification bars colour or theme

if you are using cyanogen 6 RC2, then just find one of the threads here with black notification bar theme, and use meta morph to apply it.

Don't remember if this was in RC2 or a subsequent nightly, but you can also change the color of the status bar, text, and pull down notification to anything you want directly from CMSettings.
Hey you're right. In cyanogen settings you can set the color. It just needs a reboot after this.

I have the Cyanogen custom rom loaded on my rooted Nexus One and I have been trying all day to morph/flash ways to change my notification bar, but no good.
Would appreciate from you fantastic people if you could lend me a hand or advice?
Thank you! (If this is wrong format in this forum I apologize greatly it is my first time posting here, but I've been following XDA for some time now)
there are many themes over in the themes forum that have meta morph files you can apply to change your status bar to black. which do you want? do you want the desire black bar? or a pure black bar? i can post my theme which i use, it has a mixture of pure black bar, circle battery icon, my preferred wifi icon, and the rest are desire icons, all mixed together to give me my favorite theme. currently using it on cyan 6 nightly from sunday.
EDIT: i added the file. i left the name exactly the same, but a few edits have been made so i hope the originator of that theme doesnt mind. you can search out that thread by the file name i uploaded.
the thing is when i attempt to morph a theme every thing changes EXCEPT the status bar. While it skins the framework.apk (mis-spelled) It takes extremely long and I eventually reboot my phone because it does not load. How long does it take for you to morph a complete skin? I was trying to morph the Carbon Notification bar and it takes very long.
Thanks btw for your reply really appreciated
yeah i am stuck at the same problem too.. it is taking too long for such a small file... even flashing roms are faster...
na dude i got a different version MM nd it morphed quickly but not right status bar always white
huh ? i didnt get u... cant u rephrase ur sentence pls .. are u saying u downloaded an older version of metamorph and it morphed quickly but that version of metamorph did'nt change ur status bar to the desired color ?
It works for me every time, very quickly. Do you have usb bugging enabled? You need that.
Like I said, that's the exact file I use every time, not sure what is wrong...
Are you sure a reboot doesn't make the white turn to black bar?
haha.. it works for me now.. i didnt enable USB debugging the last time .. awesome.. loving the new carbon fibre status bar.. wicked stuff !!
Ha nice, its always the little things
hey guys quick question: is it possible to install a black/glass status bar morph on a rooted nexus with the stock rom?

Yes, but the text would also be black. It has to be a custom ROM to modify the text too.
yes there's a stock FRF91 ROM thread over in the other forum which is theme ready so you could use any morph you want.

Good info.. I have Enom's all lined up to go on mine when I get my new MicroSDHC... Still using the stock 4G card, need more space.
Help please
So I've downloaded the Glass Status Bar morph, and everything works except my status bar is still white. I'm trying to run it on CM 6, froyo, N1. Any help would be appreciated as to why this might not be working.
Do I need to adjust any settings in CM?

Go into the CM settings under the notification bar settings and untick the custom bar and untick custom color. Reboot and then it should work.
Thanks for the tip kp and it seemed to work at first but when I tried to change back to my preferred wallpaper (when it rebooted after applying the morph it reverted to the standard Cyanogen live wallpaper) the status bar become black.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work. I unticked everything you said, reapplied the morph and it re-started and seemed to work although the wall paper had changed by to the standard CM live wallpaper. When I switched back to my normal wallpaper the notification bar was black. Same thing when I tried other wallpapers.
Any other ideas?

Are you running a CM6 nightly?
Im running the CM6 stable and everything works fine on my end. For the nightly, I heard that you need to stick a static wallpaper you do not want up and then go to the live wall paper to place "on top of" the wallpaper. There may be more to that but that was the jist of the conversation I read in passing.

No, I'm running the stable mod, not any of the nightly's. Tried what that thread suggested, still no luck. I'll keep trying on my end.
Just to go through the steps I did, I downloaded the file from XDA. Placed it on my N1. Used Metamorph to unzip it and install it rebooted and no-go.

I'm sitting here in my room enjoying the fact that I now have FroydVillain 1.5 on my Hero. I have stumbled into a problem though. My status bar is still the "vanilla" one and therefor my fonts have gone invisible (or the same color as the new UI) and the same with some of icons. For instance my clock in the status bar is impossible to see..
Does anyone know a fix for this which goes around a full wipe?
Thanks in advance
- Me
EDIT: A partial wipe will be okay as well, just as long as I don't have to start "All Over" with setting up my interface and settings..
To anyone experiencing the same problem. I've found the solution, even though I ended up wiping my Hero anyway. It seems to be something with the kernel version I downloaded. I will try to download the next one through the VillainRom Updater and hopefully this helps.
