[Q] Status bar - Captivate Themes and Apps

Is it possible to have different states of the status bar, eg. lockscreen - 100% transparent, homescreen - 50% transparent, in app - black.
Thanks for any help.

Are you thinking of the i#&@%* status bar?
Android you can only do it one way for all 3 "states".

No I was thinking of how the MIUI Rom has different status bars in different areas. The lockscreen doesn't have the time either, but after you unlock it the time shows back up.

That status bar looks awesome. Would it lag though?

For those using CM6 and miss sense

Before i say anything i say right now i take no credit for any of this work, im only mirroring a thread and spreading the love.

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!

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.

Transparent Notification Bar?

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

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

Changing status bar color

Hi guys,
I am using motorola milestone with official 2.2.1. I want to change my status bar colour to black. Please anybody tell me the procedure or point me to the right thread.
Thanks

Maybe a theme for adw launcher could make the status bar. I'm guessing you want to get the gingerbread effect on froyo.

Oled issue

My note is a year and half old. I was testing my oled and discovered that the status bar area is bleached out. Now its not very prominent but is there a way i can hide my status bar??? So that i may not have a persistant and permanent status bar band.
This bleaching is prominent when i am in Landscape mode. Its on the left, still not prominent enough to bother me. But i need advice...

I actually found a mod for the black status bar for official jb and it worked really well. Since then my status bar is just all jet black. Right now I am using cm10 because my phone got real slow on the official ROM. So here there is no such status bar problem.

Kit Kat status bar?

Has anyone else noticed the kit Kat status bar on some apps? I.e. Snapchat textra. Is that because of Samsung or because of the app developer?

If you mean that the status bar stays black, this is because the developers have not updated their apps to Material Design, which assigns a primary colour to the toolbar, and a darker primary colour to the status bar.
No I mean like this. It fades instead of being two different shades. It looked correct on my nexus.

What do you mean? What have they done? It just looks like the devs have used a transparent status bar instead of a coloured one, which is supported in KitKat and above.

As far as I can tell, they did not do that at all. Samsung would have to make that change to EVERY app you install on your phone; they cannot control each app individually. So the fact that some apps have the transparent status bar (KitKat) and some have the solid colour status bar (Lollipop) means that the respective developer of that application is responsible for the colour of the status bar in their own app. I know this because I myself have developed a few applications on Android.

No they wouldn't, they just have to modify the systemui(which handles the transparency) and change effect.
Well I hope they fix it in the next update whoever it is.
