As the title says I'm just wondering if an app can be created to change the status bar colour on non rooted phones for example appsdesktop changes the status bar colour to black so I'm wondering if it could be implented in an app or home replacement.
i too would like to know this. if a dev can release an app on the market that does this, you will sell thousands. black staus bar ftw. plzzzz help us

only with a rooted device atm
it might be possible in a home replacement, seeing as they change just about everything else. as for phones without home replacements, pentace is right, the only way to do it is with a rooted phone, because you have to be able to change the statusbar.png located in the framework-res.apk, which requires that you be able to flash a custom image containing theme elements. if you have a rooted phone, the process is relatively simple. you can even do it with a stock 1.5 rom if you replace the right file.
Not sure if this belongs here or in the theme section so i apologize if i got it wrong. I just switched from a rooted g1 to an unrooted mytouch 3g and right now i'm back to having the boring white notification bar. Is there any app that lets you change the color of the notif bar without root bc it's been too long since ive seen the white bar and i don't like it!
one of the home replacements like ahome or dxtop MIGHT. but you'd have to install an entire theme for that, and not just the status bar. i suggest you root.
Changing the notification bar requires root. None of the home replacements do it.

(ps more themes WILL come, when i have time to spare)
I 've managed to extract framework folder.I opened framework-res.apk and found a lot of folders.I assume the .png i am looking for is located in drawable-ldpi folder,but the problem is that i cannot find which .png it is.If someone could guide me things would be much easier.Thanks Daniel for your response,can't wait for your themes...
Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.
thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.
I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.
ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...
i made this thread already and got no answers so made another maybe new people will see it that know
I want to hide the notification bar in the lockscreen... im using launcher pro with the bar hidden and it looks very nice to me. Im also thinking of buying widgetlocker so i can use the same widgets on the lockscreen but need to get rid of the notification bar. Is this possible. Also im using cm rc3
