yes, the png resides in the /system.framework/framework-res.apk in there its under res\drawable-mdpi\statusbar_background.9.png.
So use 7 zip and apk manager take this png i posted, go into the mentioned folder above in your favorite rom or theme and replace it with this one its the stock one from CM6.
note: don't alter this png its a 9 patch just replace it in the apk without unziping it or the rom in which your replacing it in. You'll also need to resign your rom or you could just push the new framework-res.apk in a root adb shell.
i don't really understand you... do i need rooted phone.. i can't fint that folder.. ? can u explain me a little more please !
Yes your phone will need to be rooted. And you'll need to use a standard theme setup.

I have JI6 (unofficial froyo) version of Captivate (i897)...
I like to theme the notification bar (Transparent, icons, etc.) without any ROM.
I have tried Cognition ROM, but random shutdown was killing me...
So, anyone know how?
by SDK/ADB, root manager, metromorph, Odin, or whatever you can do - THAT WORKS!!!

It depends on what you want and where you want it. Certain changes require changes to the xml codebehind and some do not. It is not as easy as it may seem for the average user.
You have to use winrar to open the theme or rom you are using.go to the twframework-res.apk.open that DO NOT UN ZIP ANYTHING!! then look for status bar background.9 drag and drop onto desk top or folder whatever then edit in photoshop or whatever you have and put back save and put it back in the folder.If I can get by a computer today there is thread out the will tell you do to do it that is big help.I you have some problems I can do some editing for you but would have to wait until I get home I am out of town.oh and when you put the edit status backgroung.9 back into the zip file make sure it is stored and compressed

Along this same line of questioning........
All I want to do is remove the transparency from the notification drop down in my current rom / theme. Is there a single value in an xml file to adjust this feature?
It's a .png that you'll need to change the opacity of.

Thanks for the thread been looking for something like that but someone psoted somethign saying that you had to use a cpativate rom for it because the i9000 roms have different file types in them
Now there is theme kitchen, upload a apk and you can apply themes. Then after some time, you get a new apk in a cwm flashable zip.
Edit, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
How can I edit the control bar ?
Any help would be appreciated.
I can provide you whatever you need from the ROM.
Thanks !
Anyone ? .
I have no idea about you r phone...but they are 9.png´s and probably in framework-res.apk.
I've searched everything in framework-res.apk but I cannot find them anywhere.
what´s your Rom?
Void ROM. Do you want me to upload something ?

Here you go.
Thank you !
u use a theme?..cause the battery icon is different..
Yes, I have modified it using the online theme kitchen.
Only the notification bar is modified.
ok.
It´s all in frameworks... but as you use kitchen, I dont know how about applying a morph over it, never tried kitchen......I would use default "void" framework and apply a morph for all your changes.
I can extract the original framework-res.apk from the void ROM. Can you do something with it ?

do morphs work on your Rom?
Haven't tried any morph yet. Any way I could check ?
Here is the original framework.
yes, take a morph for your phone and try it..a framwork morph would be good.
Sorry to say but there are none morphs for my phone. It is pretty new in this area.
Where have you found them in the framework ? Can't I modify it and then repack + sign the framework ?
Test Morph_DarkX
ok...if this test morph works on your default framework-res.apk (not kitchen!)..you can start to theme
- put "DarkX.zip" in /sdcard/AndrodThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph (app from Market)
It gets stuck at Applying framework-res.apk.

You need root to replace system apps, and some file explorer that allows messing with root files modding systemui should do the trick btw.

Try NinjaMorph and MetaMorph Android App.
But you must have battery icon pack.
and other icon pack like signal.etc
you want to change.
The simple and fastest Using UotKitchen but Work Online.
You must copy your systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to sd and transfer to your PC then upload via internet connection.
You cannot using UotKitchen. if Full you must wait.
The best way is change systemUi.apk to systemUI.zip exctract and change every icon you like to change but make sure image file format and resolution size is same. (edit this if you want change signal.etc)
Note: Your systemUI(Notification/Stat bar) force close after doing this and work normally if you reboot your phone.
Same if you want edit framework-res.apk
(edit this if want to change batttery logo.etc)
after finish zip again and rename file extension to apk.
and how to install it?? you can push it via rootexplorer & root browser. to system.
Dont forget to change permission rw-r-r
Note: Risk to push framework directly to system/framework because if push direct to your phone can make your phone soft brick/bootlooph.
why bootlooph because you cannot change permission.
then How to push ?
simple and tricky.
move your mod framework-res.apk in system/(here) set permission rw-r-r
then after that push to system/app
just replace your old framework .
automated reboot after doing this.
then finish.
second make flashable.zip
All of this 100% safe if you not make a mistake.
Big problem if fail only bootlooph or soft brick.

I use Nova launcher and I can do it with that
could you please tell me how to change it with nova launcher? I am also using nova but don't know the procedure to change the icons
I downloaded an app called Icon Finder Plus, then I chose an icon and save it to my phone. Exit the icon app, Then long press the button you want to change and it should come up with, (move/resize/edit). hit the edit and then the picture, then choose the icon you want and your done.
Cheers Rob

Yep sure. Basically all of the softkey images are PNG files stored inside SystemUI.apk. And it's really straight forward if you just want to replace PNG files such as battery, signal and softkey icons.
There are two ways, you can either decompile SystemUI.apk and replace the PNGs inside (harder, time consuming method) or use a program called 7zip to open the apk archive and replace the PNGs (easier, quick method).
I used the second method to replace the softkeys. Here's how to do it:
*Always backup in recovery before modifying files*
Install 7zip
Right click SystemUI.apk and select 7zip -> Open archive
You'll see a few files/folders, open 'res' then 'drawable-xxhdpi' you'll see lots of PNG files
The ones I replaced were 'ic_sysbar_home.png' and 'ic_sysbar_home_land.png'
Drag these two files to the Desktop and open them with Photoshop or any image editing software
Erase the existing image and replace with any other desired logo/icon and save (remember the background must be kept transparent)
Drag the edited files back into the SystemUI.apk archive (res->drawable-xxhdpi)
Then copy the edited SystemUI.apk back to your phone, then move it to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then move it to /system/app and overwrite when prompted (your phone will probably reboot, it's normal)
That's it!

Use ES File Explorer and grant it root access, then find and long press each of the two files, select Copy, then paste them onto your external sd card or internal storage.

This is relatively simple. You just need to find the image files that are used for that icon. They're probably inside SystemUI.apk but could be inside framework-res.apk instead.
