if you are using cyanogen 6 RC2, then just find one of the threads here with black notification bar theme, and use meta morph to apply it.

Don't remember if this was in RC2 or a subsequent nightly, but you can also change the color of the status bar, text, and pull down notification to anything you want directly from CMSettings.

Hey you're right. In cyanogen settings you can set the color. It just needs a reboot after this.

Help changing lockscreen transparency

Just like the subject says.
I am now running the leaked Gingerbread on my Droid X
I know when 3.4.2 was leaked it, the notification window was not transparent, and someone manipulated services.jar and then the transparent png in framework-res.apk would then show truely transparent or to the degree of transparency we wanted.
The lockscreen on GingerBread is slightly transparent, but not enough to see the wallpaper that is selected.
Does anyone know what controls this? Is this also located in services.jar?
I would be extremely grateful if I could get some assistance on this.
On 3.4.2, I combined the water-marked theme, Blueberry theme, and much of my own work and had my phone themed to my personal liking, and would like to complete that for GingerBread as well.
The non-transparency of the lock screen is bugging me and I bet i'm not the only one.

transparent level can be changed by changing background png.

Looks great can you please change the notification tray, the blue and geen dont blend well

I am having a hard time finding the file for that last blue bar, in the tray. I will keep looking for it.
If any dev knows the file name, let me know.

Looks very nice. Thanks! One question... If I wanted to revert back to the blue, how would I go about doing that? Just go to a backup?

Very nice! Running this now, looks great!

Not trying to sound like a jerk here...
This theme is supposed to mimic stock GB. Does stock GB have white icons?
It sounds like you want a new theme my friend... Go to UOT kitchen and have a whirl...

The blue bar isn't a png its a color code you have to decompile SystemUI and edit the xml file. Once decompiled go to SystemUI.apk\res\values\drawables and the code is next to "shade_bgcolor"

Do you know exactly what xml file it is? I cant seem to locate

It's the drawables file just follow the path I put in my last post. But you won't see it unless you decompile the apk using something like apkmanager.

Droid 3 png loations

Making this thread for people that are trying to do some subtle self theming on their own, without a ROM. (There really isn't a whole lot of themed ROMS out anyways, monsteRom is the only one i think.) you can find monsterROM in the general section.
Anyways let's say you are using ninjamorph and you want to change the 3g icon on your droid 3 but can't find it. come here post what you need someone may help.

I'm experimenting with some theming, I cooked up one in the uot kitchen but not all the changes seemed to work. Some the signal bar indicator didn't change and the text colour for notification items(all other text colours changed) also the background in the pull down curtain. I found the icons, and the new icons are in there, but don't show on the phone. How do I make them the default icons? Also if anyone knows which XML sets the text colour and how I can fix the background it would be appreciated.

As for changing the icons just editing them should work. Are you using ninja morph? And what do you mean "fix the background"

Although I changed the pull down notification bar background in uot, it still has that moto blue.

So if I want to change one set of icons for another, I need to rename the new set to overwrite the old set?

Png changes in systemui not working

So I changed the statusbar background to a transparent png and the status bar does become transparent upon reboot. however it becomes dark again after I open an app or turn the screen on and off.
I also changed the png to show an extra bar of signal, but it still shows one bar for some reason. Can some one please help me here.
I am on Arhd 11.0, and my systemui.apk file is https://www.dropbox.com/s/0n8o1pkvt8f3q0u/SystemUI.apk
Can some one please help me here

In which folder did you changed the png?
And did you do it with VTS or apktool?

Umh, you know that you have to sign the apk after some change?

I really appreciate you for trying to figure it out on your own how to do this stuff, instead of just asking someone else to do it Well First off, you can't edit the signal bars to show more signal. it's gonna show what the network provides. Next the statusbar background. you edited the right image, but you didn't add it's 9 patch back after you edited it to transparent. So I edited the image correctly for you. Just so you know inside the tools folder in your android sdk you will see draw 9 tool use that to add the 9patch back into your image before you compile it back. Also I should note that the statusbar will appear solid in most HTC apps like blinkfeed,appdrawer, etc. htc draws the statusbar from the background images in lots of it's apks. Anyways attached is your apk. It should be what your looking for.
