I'd like that too. I'm on Darky's and the bar is all black, flat, makes the screen look smaller. I'd love to see a hint of the wallpaper through that...

For those using CM6 and miss sense

Fancy Widget download:http://www.4shared.com/file/17FwFiad/Fancy_Widget_v130.htm
Edit: seems the Vatsense removes the auto brightness toggle, for me this isnt an issue but beware for those who depend upon it
PM me if you have any suggestions for apps,widgets, or any other add-ons that give CM6 a better Sense feel and ill post a link
beautiful widgets make sure its atleast version 3
Thanks works great

Nice Find! works great! Feels like 2.1 sense
if your looking for a HTC Sense flipclock exact replica, get fancy widget.
HTC ripped it off the market, they didnt like it, but if you google for the apk, you can find it... V1.3.0
AND, if your looking for a sense lockscreen, use widget locker,
you can set the UI to Sense under its settings
looks pretty cool.
CM6 undercover!

I use weather and toggle widget off the market you can tweak it with skinz off the market to look exactly like htc clock. I like the stock clear look cause you can see the live wallpaper.

not many people know this for some odd reason but even before i found this it was possible from the start to change the status bar to any color you choose (purple, red, gree, black...) you would hafta got to CM settings and go into user interface from there and theres alot of options to change the colors and even the transparency of the pulldown bar, text colors, ect.

Reboot.
if that doesn't work, you can go under the notification colors, and under the status bar notifications(the first section), make sure everything is #ffffff
Did all the that and still it stays black. Every thing else is perfect.

Make sure you set it to #ffffffff and after typing in the color code, press the white circle in the center or it won't save.

[Q] How can I get color menu/progress bar back on Paragon RC6?

Hey all, out of about 7 diff ROM's I have been pretty stuck on paragon RC5 and I just flashed RC6 last night and was wondering how I could get color menu's back. I know its small and stupid want, but I really liked the color menu's and green progress bar of RC5. I am still too new to post on the official Paragon ROM thread but I was just wondering if anyone figured out how to get them back. I noticed on the official thread there are 3 theme packs for paragon... black/green, black/blue, and black/red... If I flash one of these will I get color menu's and color progress bar back? Thanks!
If you look through the Paragon thread, you'll see that eSPyeL posted a CWM flashable file to restore the settings menu color and talked about releasing a 6.1 which would also restore color to the power button menu.

You think it will restore the green status bars as well? I'm really digging the rom... just miss the color.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It doesn't. eSPeyL seemed to have scaled back on the color significantly on his latest release. Some of the themes might restore what you are looking for, but I haven't tried any yet... I'm waiting for the orange one.

I really like the black/green combo. I wonder if I flash the black/green theme of it will change anything.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Green stock flashable has been posted which restores color settings and color shutdown menu.

There are two versions of each theme now, one with colored icons and one without.
'Black' has silver icons, 'Stock' has colored.

Transparent Notification Bar?

Has anyone figured out how to make the top notification bar transparent? Like Windows 7 Aero for example.
Thanks

Thanks.
I went on the site and enabled transparency and read this:
"if your ROM does not supports transparency -you will not get transparent background."
Does Mosaic III Diet support it?!
You're running Mosaic II which is JVH right? It's SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png
It doesn't really do much just having it transparent like you'd think because the screen area that's used is all below that. Unless something else is modified, wallpaper is cut off right there. You can see the notification tray slide under it and animation effects under it though. That bad thing is the date and notifications use the same image so when they pop up, they're transparent as well and are supposed to cover up the icons on the left, so it slides up this half wide bar that show the icons behind it and that part is 2x as opaque (2 transparencies overlayed) so you can where it cuts off.
Samsung Roms don't support it for the reasons stated above. I have only seen this be able to be don't in HTC based Roms as they support it

[Q] [REQ/QUESTION] ICS with Gingerbread theme

Hello,
I do not like the blue/cyan color of ICS, I like it green.
How can I change this or will someone make us a gingerbread theme for ICS?
I tried the gingerbread theme for ADW but that only changes the shape of it not the color. It's mainly just the color, so not the app drawer and laucher.
And how do I get the clock back in my status bar?
Thanks in advance.
don't know bout a GB theme, but I can definitely tell you that you should have a clock in the notification/status bar, just like in GB.. maybe try a new clean flash of ics..!?

Got the clock back, it's now only gone when you go to the lockscreen, but I don't think that shouldn't be like that.

[REQ] Changing 4.1 Notifications

Hi, I am wondering if its possible to change the android notifications in 4.1 so that it is not black with the blue line. I would prefer if it looked like the notifications from sense 4.0 or the ones from gingerbread, where it is mainly grey and has a solid bar at the bottom.
e.g.

https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/i...Fq8cQgvFQD7olB_DaWWOBY2HaxHwMR2U456tY4XnsPP8D
So I humbly request if somebody could give me a flash able zip or tell me a method that changes the notifications to grey, and the status par to almost transparent (like sense 4.0).
I am currently running 4.1 aosp chocolate w/ thalamus if that helps.
Thanks,
Continuum
I have tried and searched for status bar transparency but have had no luck yet. JB does it different than ICS. On some thread somewhere, a themer said it couldn't be done in JB but I don't know for sure

The status bar transparency is possible to change. I think what your saying is the notification tray. Yup its impossible to changed it ive tried it hundreds of time. Its different with the notification tray in gnex. I think its hard coded inside ns systemui

Just takes some toying with and someone will figure it out.. Anything can be themed just takes some time to figure it out..
Well that's a shame.
Thanks anyway though.
I've tried it myself, there's no XML tag for the Notification Tray background color that can be easily changed; some more in-depth digging is in order.
