Transparent Notification bar? -metamorph-

Is there any transparent notification bar metamorphs out there?

I think this might be what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768628
If you only want the status bar and not the font and apps and what not, just run the framework-res part. Let me know if you need help. Enjoy.

I did see that but couldnt tell if the notification bar was transparent or not.
Thank you

Yeah i flashed it and its nice and looks great, But i still want something with a completely transparent bar.

Tried that the first run, and it looked great when using LP+ and having the status bar hidden. When you would hit the notification button, it would pop down and you would only see the icons/letters/numbers etc, but otherwise it just shows up as a blank-black area. Something to do with that space is allotted
for the status bar and you don't really get it back, just because it's transparent. There might be a way around it, but not really sure yet. If you wanna try it, this was the first run of Transparent Chaos:

Yeah I've been looking for the same thing for a few weeks. They can't do it on the eris yet though because of something with rosie and it not taking the background all the way up to the top so it would always look black anyway.

I think it's LP+ that doesn't allow the transparency because it just shows black behind the bar. I've heard that it works with ADW Launcher because of an option it has, I haven't tried it though because I prefer LP.

I'm pretty sure that's not it. I just tried it, and got the same results as LP+.

Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.

thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.

I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.

ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...

Where to download notification bar icons..

I was looking for places to download notification bar icons that are already properly sized. I am using ninjamorph to apply them, but really do not want to have to search through the roms and pull the notification icons from within the apk. I was hoping someone already had just the icons grouped together for a quick download...
Thanks

Not sure, but is this what you are looking for?

[Q] Deactivating status bar toggles

Does someone know of a way to remove the status bar toggles? Is there a file to modify in systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk?

yes there is a way unfortunate im not that skilled

I'm listening... I'd love to get rid of the mobile data toggle. The others are useful, that one isn't.

I hope there is someone out there knowing the answer as I like to use my own toggles app and having two of them doesn't look goog at all.
Also I saw this screenshot showing a blue clock in the expanded notification bar and would like to know what to modify to change the color of the clock and the date? (this came from a Mod which included the toggles, I would only need the file and passage to edit for changing the color)
Any help is appreciated.

Transparent Soft Buttons/Nav Bar

I'm looking for a way to make the nav bar/soft keys at the bottom of the display transparent everywhere, like it is on the homescreen on GEL
Anyone know of a method for doing this? I'm on the M preview.
I know it's possible with Xposed but I'm looking other ways.

Bump...anyone?

Bump....

It would be really easy to do if you decompile and recompile your systemui.apk but, it will not look like how you think it will look. Your nav bar will end up white or grey, because it will be transparent and behind the navbar will be dead space that is white or grey. All your full screen apps (Except launcher) do not sit behind the navbar.
I think what you actually want is a dynamic navbar that changes colour to match the primary colour of the app you are using, which is much more difficult.
Or... maybe you want an expanded desktop which allows the app to be true full screen, and you swipe up to bring the navbar up transparently over the app. Though this would cut any buttons or text fields off in the app when the navbar is up.

I see what you mean... Damn well that sucks.
Thanks for the reply.
