Can some of the experienced taskbar modders make a white > silver gradient taskbar icons? Nothing to fancy, maybe take the design of the vista/windows 7 notification icons into affect. they are limited colors that blend together. The icons are not 3d, they are flat, some have color but they look good.
I find most of the task bars here are trying too much and sacrifice professionalism and readability.
I can do it myself, just need a guide on the dll files and locations to edit. I have iconworkshop and i assume i can safely edit the icons in the files and won't corrupt them.
Anyone who wants to play around with the status bar at the top by changing colours e.g. from standard black to white just edit the file attached. Leave it in png format and the name as it is. Just edit the colour. Use adb or metamorph to include it in a theme or your choosing. And only place it in the following 2 folders - framework-res\res\drawable-480x320 and folder - framework-res\res\drawable-land-480x320.
It may not be necessary for both but it works for me. Jus thought to pass this info on. Cos Im working on icons. All creds to Ratcom as I was searching for this in one of his themes and Foxy Editor dev as I can edit the colour on my phone and also to the dev of Astro for making it easy2copy and paste
cheers guys/girls.
then how will you make the clock and date font color to black? becuase white text on white bar wont be visible.
Jm still playin around with other files at the moment. But when i do findout it"ll be on here.jus wanted2share the truble it takes for newbies

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...
Last night i searched and collected bunch of black'ups icons, all icons are in png, and 64x64, and this pack contains 894 icons.
I spent a little while searching for these last night as well. I found a page when you can just right click save the icons.

great but i don't like this icons with black corner
Hmm, they didnt show up like that on my phone.
They are made baddly
If you take a look closely on the site the icons under the title;
AppStore icons all have a black border. This usually happens when someone takes an icon and tries to create a template from it, forgetting to make the background transparent or not knowing how to make the icon sit inside a transparent boarder.
It's easily fixed if you know how and the original dimensions of the icon.
Other than that they are nice looking icons.
Great Icons....
Just wondering if there's a simple way to edit a MIUI theme? I have Formel's MIUI Mod (now known as KelLMSKing, but I'm still running Formel's last one), and I downloaded the Dark Blue theme from the new one. I like certain aspects of the theme, but other aspects of the original one so I've mixed and matched the two themes for what I like .. almost. The last change I'd like to make: How can I edit the font colour in the pulldown notification bar?
Fixed.. sort of
I fixed this.. sort of.
I downloaded a dark theme that would have the black pulldown notification bar, then when I installed it I de-selected everything (fonts, icons, lockscreen, etc) and selected only the "Theme" which makes the text in the notification easy to read and actual usable checkboxes.
Posting this in case it helps anyone else.
