I am having trouble determining what controls the transparency of the actual notifications? Is it ROM specific? I have applied the same .png files to 2 different ROMS.... The first one tured out the way I want it [pure transparent].... the second, has opaque Notification background and "Ongoing" background [or white semi-transparent].... How do I control this?
Any ideas? I've been going at it for awhile.....Please help
p.s I have tried xultimae-tp to modify the services.jar... didn't work.....

I am wondering this also, has anyone got some helpful info?
The transparent pulldown that I am using has the notification boxes transparent white and I would like them to be solid white so that I can see the text better.

So far there is,
1: Broswer Icon
2: Calculater Icon
3: GMail Icon
4: Settings Icon
5: Camara Icon
6: Calander Icon
If people could get back to me with feedback id appreciate it...

It's very nice. I like the color and the way you have the app icons.
Sent from my N1, running CM7 and IntersectRaven's latest kernel. (AVS)

Thankyou for your kind words, if you have any special apps ,i would like to make custom request icons for not so popular apps.

How to change Ongoing/No notifications bar color - Froyo

Im trying to figure out how to change this, but Im not able to find it. It does not appear to drawable-hdpi and I opened all of the XMLs in layout that have status bar in the name, but nothing shows the gray color that the bar is now. Where is the code/picture to change this. I would like to change it from gray to black.
I attached a picture. I want to change the bar color that says Ongoing and Notifications. Im not sure if its one bar, or if there is a sepparate one for Ongoing, Notificatios, and No Notifications.
Thanks

Thanks in advance guys, any inputs is appreciated.

alright, I've managed to make the panel bar transparent by using draw9patch, so issue no.3 is solved
I guess the background on recent/running notification(my issue no.2) is still left in the cold.
Issue no.1 is minor since it's not that intrusive but would like to remove it still.

Color of the icons in the navigation bar

Well, noone on Tasker forum can help me with my issue, so I'm searching for a little help here...
Using Tasker I added two custom icons (cursor keys) to navigation bar.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem occurs, when my navigation bar changes color to light - the custom icons are hardly visible, as they are white. The built-in icons change the color to dark grey automatically and my icons of course don't. I tried using colored icons (always PNG with transparent background), but with the same result. Is there an additional trick on creating custom icons, so they won't be just plain white?

Bump.
Anyone?
