I found this picture on stuff.tv and after digging through everything I can possibly find to use to customize my homescreen on Android Lollipop, I'm honestly not sure if there's anything that lets you change the status bar and soft keys in this particular way.

So is it a mock-up? Or is there actually something like this out there? Anyone have a clue?
My apologies if this is the wrong forum for this, I'm not sure where else it would fall under
That's possible, I've been out of the game for too long now so there's probably newer easier ways that I know nothing about but it looks like tablet mode on paranoid android rom to get the bottom status bar with the rest built using something like Zooper or klwp etc etc
Am I showing my age mentioning pa or is it still going?

I've kinda asked into it before and it seems hard.
But if we all got together to raise some ruckus for it it should get done. All the roms coming out are about speed. I just don't see why there hasn't been a rom that attempted to
1. Use the Samsung BeholdII notifcation bar with wifi/gps/bluetooth/+ toggels
2. The Pulse 3x3 canvas
Just things like that.
But then again I could be the only one interested in it.. what do you think?
Icons can be used in anything if they can be sized correctly but certain system apps rely on the frameworks from the specific UI overlay(sense,pulse,blur).
Plus I don't think they're interested in doing that stuff.
I literally have no interest.
None.
Maybe I'll have to see it though.
Now that Honeycomb isn't coming, I wonder if anyone knows any way to emulate the last really important thing the CM7 interface is missing compared to Honeycomb- a way to keep the notification bar on the screen at all times? Has anyone seen it done on other devices?
Agreed. There has to be a way to do this.
look at this thread. Then really start reading around post 80 forward. It is being worked on for CM7 and intergrated into the build.
I would personally like to see something like this. I don't mean with windows logos in it, but something less harsh than stock honeycomb. One idea I would like to see and i'm not sure if its possible but a semi transparent menu bar at the bottom. If anyone is interested I could test it after I root my wifi xoom. Also if anyone has any ideas they'd like to see in a windows inspired theme drop them in here.

are you gonna make it ??? or are you wanting someone else to make it?
We need the AOSP to drop so we can have an updated smali/baksmali for apktool before any changes can be made to the SystemUI.apk, which defines the status bar color. I can't even change the clock color yet, which is frustrating.
A transparent status bar would be nice, actually. Better yet would be a status bar that went away when swiping down off of the screen, and returns when swiping up from off the bottom.
I couldn't make the theme, that is why I put it as a request. I haven't the slightest idea where to begin. I put the thread up to see if anyone else felt the same way I did about the stock appearance of honeycomb, it's a little too...digital? I kinda like the colorful icons and aero theme that windows has. I don't want to see a windows theme per se, but something that has elements taken from windows 7. Just my thoughts and ideas.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
Hey guys. So one problem I've been trying to find a solution for is I like allot of information in my status bar but I have so much in it I keep running into the issue of the text and icons overlapping. For example when I use Wanams setting to center the clock allot of things overlap or when I try to add more and nothings overlapping it whatever is on the right side just runs off the screen. Is there a way to create maybe a marquee style where I could add as much I wanted and just have anything that runs off the screen in the status bar constantly scroll across? Currently running Firekat v6.
First possible solution listed here by another member, didn't work though, fishing for more ideas...

Bro I thing your font just sux... change the font or the size of it. See attachment.
Yeah man I know it is a little on the bold side but I kinda like it, other than changing the font I'm thinking there's gotta be another way because no matter what the font someone could have too much up there and be facing the same situation....

At least you could make the font smaller and honestly I don't know a mod to make the icons scrollable..
I found this but not sure if it works or if it can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546180
Hmm, well just noticing how when the network speed indicator changes everything to the right of it expands to the right and the contracts back, wondering if that could placed on the left and tweaked to pull everything on the right smoothly to the left, then repeat... Not trying to kang though
Lol like pac man in your status bar? That's a fun idea
