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 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.
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

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?

Where did you find the DL for that?

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.
EDIT: Here's the thread

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.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I can't seem to apply any themes at al to my N1. I'm currently running Enoms 2.12.2. Using metamorph it occasionally thinks the theme has been applied, but once rebooted the best I get is a wallpaper change back to stock (not a black or glass status bar). I have tried using ninjamorph to change one icon, and this simply causes a bootloop once applied.
Any ideas?
Since it might help some people in the future in case they encounter the same behavior and come here looking for answer, I'll post the answer from another thread:
The OP checked his settings and found that oveclocking was the cause of the theme not being applied. He dropped the clock speeds and a simple theme worked.
A couple of more complicated themes failed, though - so the question is still relevant.
Hello all,
Here's my question/problem:
After applying a UOT Kitchen file containing only a battery mod, then subsequently restoring from a nandroid back-up because I didn't like the style, the status/notification bar will remain black and not transparent after rebooting the phone.
I do not have my home screen set as the "Blink Feed" but a standard panel, and as such the status bar should be transparent (which I am quite fond of). However, since applying the battery mod and restoring from a nandroid backup, when rebooting the phone and first going through the lock-screen, the status bar will remain black. I can "fix" this problem simply by pressing the power button, locking the phone, then going through the lock-screen again, and now the bar will be transparent. But another problem presents itself after that, when opening any application that changes the status bar from transparent to black, then going back to the home-screen, there will be a one second delay between the status bar changing its transparency, I don't remember this happening before I applied the battery mod etc.. Also, when going through the lock-screen (after the initial boot/first lock-screen) the status bar will change from being transparent, then going black for about one second, then becoming transparent again.
Though this isn't a major problem, it's not something I can live with.
I have tried fully wiping my phone, removing all system data and then just applying a custom ROM. This didn't help.
I have also tried replacing the "framework-res.apk" & "SystemUI.apk" files with the originals from a back up (before the battery mod was applied). Again, did not work.
If anyone has had a similar problem or knows a solution, please help me!
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and here's my phones details:
Stock ROM + Root.
TeamSeven Kernel - Performance Edition - v4. (the kernel was applied before this problem occurred, so I don't believe this is the source of my trouble.)
UPDATE: After hours of searching and attempting several "solutions" I decided to flash a different kernel, so now I'm running the ElementalX 1.0 kernel and the problem has been fixed. I believe it was an issue with the Aroma installer rather than teaMSeven's kernel. Anyway, all's well that ends well, I suppose...
