I'm looking to replace my pull down notification bar background with a transparent texture.
I'm running Deodexed LA6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416192
I've never done any of this kind of editing before, but I've found the odd guide and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of exactly which texture/s should be changed, and how to make a replacement texture (download GIMP and make transparent grey texture in that?)
failing that, if anyone has a mod that I've missed, or would be willing to make one, that would be great too.
Thanks
I did the same on my Galaxy S2 or better some themer provided y flashable zip file to be flashed with CWM and I edited the background image.
The statusbar background images is located in system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ and is called status_bar_background.png. At least this was the case for the S2.
I can provide you the .zip file, you can have a look into it and maybe adapt the structure to get it running on the Note. Just drop me a line if you want the zip-file.

Has anyone successfully changed the colors on the top tabs bar? I've been trying to change the colors from blue to red using NinjaMorph but it craps out on me everytime I save them. It doesn't FC at all but it screws up the images. See the pictures for what I'm talking about.
Edit:
Forgot to add that I'm running Cognition 2.2.7 with Minimalistic Mod v1.4 just in case it's needed.
Just throwing out something off the top of my head.. but are you using the same image sizes as the original also?
Just trying to help
Yeah, I'm just opening the apk in NinjaMorph, long pressing on the image and picking edit. From there I just adjust the color til its red then saving the image. The picture is the same size and everything it's just the color that's different.
I am using the GalaxyS theme with Vegan 5.1 right now and for the most part I really like it, problem is the status icons are horrible. I tried pulling the green icons out of the GreenV2 theme and using ninjamorph to combine them with the GS theme. (I would just flash the GreenV2 theme, but I can't stand all the other green stuff in it) Anyway, whenever I push the framework back in with NM, I go into a bootloop.
Can anyone with experience with this stuff find it in their hearts to combine these two themes and create a flashable zip? All I want are the status icons and I can provide all the files needed since they don;t seem to be readily available on the forum anymore.

Thanks GTO777!
I've looked all across the net and can't find anything...
Does anyone have a deodexed system/framework folder for the VZW Tab that has the STOCK notification bar and everything else?
I'm all deodexed and my notifcation bar is pissing me off. Its whatever Boushh likes, I used his deodex method.
Thanks -Jeff
ill throw in beer money
If you download metamorph from the market and apply THIS with it, you can have a black notification bar. Apply THIS zip, it will make it white. For the default gray I can't help there unfortunately, if someone gives me the stock (odexed) framework I can deodex it though
What file do you need? Framework-res.apk? I can pull it out of my pre-deodexing backup. Also Boushh, don't misunderstand my slightly snotty comment. I have no issue with your taste in notification bar transparency, it just is odd to me. All your work has made my Tab an excellent little device.
EDIT: I guess I don't know how to open the system.img on my Mac.
I got off my lazy unemployed ass and edited the framework myself. Disregard this thread.

Can the top bar be made transparent so the desktop wallpaper will show through / behind it?
I have used UOT to set the top bar transparent (#000000 @ 50%) and it does appear transparent on lock screens with some of the wallpaper visible, but when I get to the desktop it goes back to solid black. I use go launcher by default but have also checked out the default launcher from Serendipity 7, both show solid black.
Is there a feature / limit in 2.3.3 roms preventing transparent top bar on the desktop?
Tried getting it to work by using the kitchen before and no luck
I'll make it for you. What ROM/theme/mods do you have installed?
Or could you post your SystemUI.apk?

Here's the stock Serendipity VII SystemUI.apk with a 50% transparent status bar. You should be able to use this with the UOT kitchen if you want to change anything, although I've never used it so I'm not completely sure.
take your pick -> APK or CWM zip
thanks for the offer. Here's my systemui file.

Here you go, black, 50% transparent:
APK or CWM zip
No dice. I do have the transparent bar on lock screen, but it still goes solid black on desktop. Would I be better off trying to put a semi trans image for the bar in framework-res.apk? (if that would be the correct place) I have an image file in mind matching my dock bar but it would need to be resized and flipped 180.
Could you assist there as well?

That would be my guess. I edited the .png as black in framework-res.apk and it's always black, no matter what screen. So I guess making that image transparent would be your best bet.
The file is called "statusbar_background.9.png", in framework-res/drawable-hdpi.
Just edit the file and open apk with a zip program then simply drag it back in.

I don't know why that last one didn't work. I put it on my phone and it worked perfectly. Framework-res shouldn't do anything, but then I also thought the last one worked, so I guess it'd be worth a try.
I'm now thinking it's an issue with your launcher, but I don't see how. You've really got me stumped here. Sorry I can't help you further.

Hello. I'm editing a theme for cm7 / tmobile theme chooser, and I'd like to know how do I make the default status bar drop a slight shadow as seen in the attached screenshots.
I guess the png for it is title_bar_shadow.9.png, but I can't find the reference to that file anywhere, not even by decompiling existing themes and reversing the process.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
I've moved over to MIUI so I apologize if I lead you in the wrong direction but, if I remember correctly, the title_bar_shadow.9.png image is the one you're looking for. Should be found in framework or systemUI.
Hope this helps.
