How can I change the colour and the transparency of the notification drawer? What are the files and the values I need to change or is there an easier way? Thanks

Hello all,
As a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links at all until I'm verified. So that means you'll have to a little leg work to find some things if you're interested.
This is my customized phone. I used the same background in my blog; The icons I made in a roundabout way—Bobbyperux over at Deviantart, made a pretty all inclusive tutorial on how to make them. It even had a video. You'll need to know something about Photoshop and have a tiny bit of patience. I changed the font to futura and the color to white. Except for the android market, ha. Little color never hurt anyone. The phone is rooted, non-market apps are enabled, and I can sync to my itunes with ease. Mac user.
Anywho give it a whirl--the icon pack is called up to date icons.
Id like to change my icon set too. Do you have to be using launcherpro or can u change them on the stock TW?
Thx.

The news widget is called buzz box-- its pretty nifty. You can choose from a ton of sources within the actual widget and it updates the news all day. I don't know how it effects battery life, but my captivate seems to be dealing with it just fine.

Yes, its LauncherPro. On the home screen I used Folder Organizer, as LauncherPro could can only change dock icons.
Included:
- transparent glass topbar(not true trans it matches the apps main bg & is black on certain launchers homescreens(live wallpapers work on homescreens) but still works with the trans apps i included)
- almost all topbar icons are red w/glass bg
- trans glass phone.apk, contacts.apk, & dialer.apk(still got a few blue items for now will look the same but red, favz & logs not fully trans need help)
- my custom red version of jarvis swype keyboard
- glass calendar, calculator (blue for now will look the same but red)
- transparent gmail, & trans black/red messaging, black transparent FB , trans xda of course, & trans glass pandora)
- please download & tell me what you think so far
BTW>>>>> this is the first theme ive ever done so please be easy on me i still have ALOT..... to learn
thanx

Not the launcher, twframework-res. It controls the status bar pulldown and various other things.

If you have no tw anything then you are either not running a samsung build or you are running AOSP, in which case you are the first and should enlighten us as to how you managed to remove the entire twframework

Awesome job! Been waiting for a transparent taskbar since I switched from bonzai. The theme is a little too busy for my taste, but great groundwork for things to come.

Twframeworks.apk is just the main parts for the phone nothing to do with the launcher. Every rom except AOSP and MIUI have it, its in the frameworks folder next to frameworks.apk. It baisically has wat you need to mdify anything you notification screen can do. Like the call options when ur on the home screen o music player when ur on the homescreen, aswell as the main tabs like wifi, bluetooth, gps and 4g option on the top. Well wat you need here is pass wat u modified in frameworks.apk and jut copy all the images that have the same name and xml in the drawable folder.

Congrats. Screenshot, please, so I know what you are talking about.
Any suggestions? I'm currently using MEIZU and it's pretty awesome, but are there any other themes that work with transparency like this one does?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
off the top of my head a few are:
MIUI by same author as MEIZU theme
EasyDay
LunarUi
Orion
Moto
Evoluer
Naked Simplicity
i think you should be able to find them by searching "transparent status bar" in the search form (or something similar to that)
Also your gonna need ZduneX25 pacther to get it transparent.

No sir, Zdune made it so we could tweak our statusbars to make become transparent for specific themes, like themes posted graphic. But using the patcher can also be used for centering clock and such.
Some of the themes have transparent settings, contacts, dialer, mms, etc..
Wanting to have an app transparent, you'll probly have to do manually. Unless someone has already created an app that you want, that's been transparent.

I'm willing to try anything at this point to learn how to make the apps transparent at this point, it'd be pretty cool to start working on themes

Yes, I know it'll be cool. There's some guides floating around this theme section on how to create themes for theme Chooser and for MIUI Theme Manager.
I would post a linking to those threads, but I'm not currently at my computer. Sorry about that.
But good luck on learning how to create themes, I wouldn't mind testing a few themes from you when you start building some.

If you want to customize your app icons. You can download the launcher like Nova, Apex and icon packages. I can't post the links here but you can search. There are tons of threads regardless of this. Cheer

You can't change the icon, and even if you were rooted it would be very difficult. The status bar requires root to do anything with it.
