I'm running Cm7 stable and I have a clear line at the top part of the notification bar when you drag it up.
It's a clear line that is vertical and close to the middle.
Anyone else have this or is it just me?
I do. No idea why though.
I do too. Not sure why either.
I have this as well. It is gone if I change the DPI to 160, but as that borks a bunch of software I use, I can live with the line.

Everyone has it and it's a known issue. Change the dpi to 162, and everything will work fine (maps, market, etc).
Go to /system/build.prop, look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=161", and change the 161 to whatever. You will need root explorer or adb to change it.
I actually like my dpi at 190
Do note that some dpis make the bar show up again.

I've been playing around with a few themes and trying some stuff myself, mostly unsuccessfully, but a side effect is that now that I have it looking kinda how I want it I have one issue I can't figure out. The notification bar text, not all of it, just the very top with the date and time, is white. That makes it practically unreadable but I have no idea what file to tweak in which apk. The only options I have are to cry or see if anyone here can point me to the right thing to smack into shape. Anyone?
I realise this is a question and should technically be in Q&A but it's theme related.
you can use colorChange to change the text color, or you can reflash your rom. the clock and date and such are in services.jar, and the notification text is at framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml
UPDATE: Is there an app that adds your background apps to the notification bar
like the espresso ROM

Does anybody know if you can change the notification bar images yet???
we can only add..not change at this time.

What do you mean by add?
you can add "shortcuts" to your bar by downloading --BAR CONTROL- in the market(its free) ..and when u slide the bar down u will have you shortcuts to app,games..etc
just pick ur choice. : )
Are you wondering if you can change, lets say, wifi image?
If you are, the images are located on the /system partition. Meaning that we can't modify them (yet). I have an app i've been working on (if you have seen WinterBoard for the iPhone, you'll get the picture) that requires root. When we get root, i'll market it and you should be able to change any pictures you want.

That sounds awesome, will we be able to change the actual bar image, the background, and the bottom bar when it is pulled down
I was running CM7 -197 build on SD card with ADW Launcher EX. Due to the know Market issue, I would change the LCD density to 160 dpi to regain the Market. Each time that I would do this, my screen would squeeze all the icons into the middle 3/4 of the screen leaving a gap at the top and bottom where no icons could be located. If I returned the resolution to 161, my full screen would return and my icons would be spaced correctly. This morning I loaded the -200 build which has the 160 dpi built-in and I am back to all my icons crowded into the middle of the screen.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, is there something that I can do to fix or correct? I have looked at all the ADW Launcher EX settings but see nothing that helps.
As a side note, I can run the ADW Launcher that comes with CM7 and everything is spaced correctly at 160 dpi. I do, however, prefer the icon and icon text settings that the EX version allows and would like to run it if I can get it to work correctly.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
this may be a long shot but try changing your columns and rolls...

Uncheck Density hack
Done!
I can't explain how long it took me to find that...
Thanks for these suggestions. I had not tried either one until now. Unfortunately, neither suggestion worked for me. I tried a reboot after unchecking the density hack but my screen is still showing the icon rows and columns in the middle 3/4 of the screen.
If I cannot find a solution I guess I will just stick with the regular ADW Launcher. I just wish there was a way to get the icons to be a little bigger. Maybe I will just step up the power of my reading glasses.
I have the same issue. I also believe it is caused by the screen layout, not dpi. My setup is 7 rows x 8 columns (looks better to me when switching back and forth between portrait and landscape). No change when I change lcd density, but if I add more rows, the gaps disappear.
btw, I've had density hack unchecked the whole time.
I don't mind it so much because my screen is pretty full anyway, the gap is a nice visual break.
Might try unchecking compatability mode.

I've always had that unchecked as well. The only thing I've changed that successfully gets rid of the gaps is having at least 8 rows.
hikersc, how many rows and columns do you have?

I have 5 columns and 7 rows. As mentioned, I like to increase the size of the icons (and icon text).
I looked but could not find a setting for "compatibility mode". Could someone let me know and I will try that?
Thanks for everyone's help.
I would guess he means the compatability setting in Spare Parts.
I have the same issue. I have tired all of the above fixes... None of them have worked except changing the DPI, but that removes the market apps.
I am on Cm7 nightly 206 with the most up to date version of ADW ex. Does anyone else have any ideas? Even with more rows and columns there is still a gap of about 3/4 of an inch on both sides, or top and bottom depending on orientation.
Solved... sorta
The issue is definitely with ADW EX and the new fancy-pants dock bar.
The good news is that you can easily get your screen real estate back, the bad is that until ADW fixes this you wont be able to have your familiar 3-5 icon dock, you'll have to make the new "hidden" dock your primary

The new bar is still persistent when you scroll across all screens... I'll get used to it... heck, I might even learn to like it.

Wow!...Thanks! This does, indeed work. I would prefer the old dock or at least an option to have the old versus the "fancy pants" new one but at least I can adjust the icon and icon text size and not have the big gaps at top and bottom (or worse...a crippled Market).
To tell you the truth, I have been looking at the regular ADW icons for so long I might just stick with that. None the less, thanks for coming to the rescue. I had tried a number of different things but never found the solution. Great Job!

Thank you so much! I have been pounding my head trying to get this to work.
Hey guys. So one problem I've been trying to find a solution for is I like allot of information in my status bar but I have so much in it I keep running into the issue of the text and icons overlapping. For example when I use Wanams setting to center the clock allot of things overlap or when I try to add more and nothings overlapping it whatever is on the right side just runs off the screen. Is there a way to create maybe a marquee style where I could add as much I wanted and just have anything that runs off the screen in the status bar constantly scroll across? Currently running Firekat v6.
First possible solution listed here by another member, didn't work though, fishing for more ideas...

Bro I thing your font just sux... change the font or the size of it. See attachment.
Yeah man I know it is a little on the bold side but I kinda like it, other than changing the font I'm thinking there's gotta be another way because no matter what the font someone could have too much up there and be facing the same situation....

At least you could make the font smaller and honestly I don't know a mod to make the icons scrollable..

Hmm, well just noticing how when the network speed indicator changes everything to the right of it expands to the right and the contracts back, wondering if that could placed on the left and tweaked to pull everything on the right smoothly to the left, then repeat... Not trying to kang though
Lol like pac man in your status bar? That's a fun idea
Hello,
I just got my new Vivo XL and I noticed that the top notification bar is really small. I know that that depends on the size of the screen but in this case it's really small in height. I changed the layout using Nova Launcher but the result is the same. I´m not rooted and not using anything else special. There is any other utility or program to modify that? Any other options. Thanks in advance for all the help.
