(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...
So I made just a simple theme for ADW, when I load it though all the themed icons look great, but the unthemed icons have really weird colorings. I know I didn't touch any of the icon color settings while making it because I'm color blind (Green-red, blue-brown) and wouldn't of been able to judge the colors correctly, so is there anything I may of overlooked?
Hey Guys,
I know there is a lot of interest in having a translucent notification bar, and so I've MetaMorphed mine to translucent from droidpirate. It is translucent, but looks black because the wallpaper does not extend to behind the notification bar. I've found workarounds to extend the wallpaper behind the status bar in custom launchers for other phones, but none of them have worked for me on the Bionic.
I'm new to skinning and I've tried to read up on this particular issue, but I'm hoping someone with more experience can put me on the correct path.
Edit* I'm starting to think the issue is with the stock gallery app requiring you to crop an image before apply it as a wallpaper...
Thanks,
Jason
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.
as default the status bar is black on cm7 but i want to mod it like miui
on miui its partly see thru black but when you pull it down it changes white
is this possible?
Flash a CM theme that has status bar you like....
Pipsqueak approved this message.
there isnt any
There's Zdune's miui theme for cm7, except the pull down is grey, I haven't played around with it, but I'm sure you can edit the status bar png to white on pulldown:

The status bar is transparent by default on MIUI and I haven't found a way outside of running MIUI to have the status bar black normally (or transparent) and then have a different color pull down status bar.
MIUI does it very well and I can't seem to find a simple MIUI like CM7 theme either. I've tried the above link but I have issues with icons sticking and overlapping.
Right now I'm leaning toward "MinimalBread" in the Market, but it isn't the same.
Perhaps use just the "Black Version" of the MIUI Theme listed above. I had no luck trying the transparent statusbar patch.
Use the uot kitchen. It's extremely easy to use and will let you do what you are wanting to do.
