Help resizing top of notification area - Android Themes

Hi, I would like to resize the top of the notification area, which I marked in red color. I have full access to framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, which I modify constantly. I also have experience with the .xml so I am not looking for an easy question like "I want an apk to do that".
I just can't find what I have to modify to make it smaller. I've tried to make the png of that area less tall but didn't work, it stays at that size.
Waiting for your help, thank you very much!

Are these sizes not defined in framework res layout statusbar_xxxx.xml files?

Thank you, I eventually did it after a few attempts. I could "delete" that top area and also the "Ongoing" and other notification types titlebars. I have a HTC Wildfire (small screen) so every pixel is valuable.
This is a screenshot to show the results, all widgets and notifications in the same space:

Wouldn't selecting compact carrier in cyanogenmod settings accomplish the same thing?

I can't tell since I don't use a Cyanogenmod ROM. I use a semi stock Sense ROM.

[THEME] - Status Bar Icons (CDMA)

I modified most of the icons for the CDMA hero because they all contain a background image that prevents slick changes to the status bar.
(The sync icon is completed but I am unable to find where it is actually loaded from, so if you can let me know, thanks in advance)

You can see them in use on my gold theme at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593066
I've attached my illustrator file, all of the icons are grouped and easily changable.
I've got them cut into named slices so you can save them for device/web from within illustrator and all of their file names will be the correct ones to be placed within the resources and framework packages.
Feel free to modify them and include them in this thread for others to download if you wish.
Illustrator File
Wow!!!
Thats very useful!
I'll do that for GSM with clear background.
Could I take some of them for my themes for Hero?

Merci!
Thanks!

Bedankt!
Nice work!
I will update my CDMA green theme with some of these. Please could you upload them as .png files zipped up? I don't have Illustrator.

If you install NinjaMoprh you can edit framework-res.apk to your liking and change almost everything.
Not a completely danger-free method btw, so Nandroid regularly...
There are plenty of notification-bar .zips you can flash also.
You can also check out THEME/ROM kitchen.

Thanks in advance.

Android 2.3 complete look with Cyanogenmod 7

Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.
Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.
Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?

Hi, congratulation for your wonderful theme!
As i am trying to change the LG Contact (DIALER) Theme, i guess you could be the right person here to help me out.
I cannot find a way to change the bottom background bar, even if i change in transparent the green background of the icon icbtn_dial_action_green_normal i can see a grey background there.
I'll post the image so that you can better understand what i am saying.
Thanks in advance!

I believe there something else is in xml anchors icsuche sometimes oran this could lie
buttonbar
so you have to get 2 different möglichkeiten around it away
1. everybody removes hintergründe and with him pay pad adds.
heist you not only they pay sees separate completten knopf (button and icon
2. you must work on with draw 9 icons
Thank you for your help! BTW i know how to edit, patch and compile .9.png image , but here the big problem is that i cannot change any xml because Contacs.apk (LG) doesn't decompile through apk_manager i think because of some dependee...
That said, even if i manage to change the backgroud btn there is still a portion of screen that has a different colour that should be changed in some xml.

RED TINTED ROSIE for ARHD 6.3.x - I could need some help

As the title says, I want to create a red tinted Rosie, but I never did that before.
Here are some questions I have:
How do I have to repack the Rosie.apk? Using 7-zip and replacing zip with apk?

Is common_title_bar.9 (Based on sigurd_LU's) the graphic for the titlebar and if I make it 50% alpha I can see the wallaper shining through?

If your on a sense 3.0 Rom, all the dock images are in fusion.apk not Rosie. If your wanting to adjust transparency or color, that's where to.change it. I adjust the transparency by playing with the layers

You want to make the rosie dock reddish? (? rötlich in german)
That's not possible at the moment, as Rayford said, the image itself can't be decoded with the current m10 editor. Only thing that can be done is change transparency (opacity) values. I attached a screenshot of my edits.
Then I was totally wrong.
I thought that can be done by changing the png´s and their colors.
Bloody beginner
For apk's which contain no m10 files, like SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk, changing png files is normally the right thing to do if you want sth like this. You weren't completely wrong
