I'm currently trying to skin my phone. Using the latest stable CM6.
I figured out how to customize the jog tags in the lock screen, But can't figure out which one is for the backgorund. If I can't then that's alright I guess. It's the Status bar I really want working.
I'm trying to change that little CM6 icon in the status bar.
But when I photoshop it and put it back in, it stretches the image. But when I check the image the resolution is the same. idk what I'm doing wrong with that.
What I'm doing is finding the little cm6 icon, named "status_bar_close_on_cust.9.png," and simply photoshopping over it, flattening layers and saving. When I put it back in it turns out like the screen shot.
Also, the background for the status bar, "status_bar_background.png."
I copied the custom background from blackslide and photoshopped something over that as well. When I boot that didn't show at all.
EDIT: Figured that one out, didnt' realize there was an image for custom ones.
Just the icon thing I need help with now.
Anyone familiar with this stuff?
Thanks.
(FYI I thought it'd be cool to make a theme for my fraternity. The lock screen is our diamond. I used the phoenix from our crest as the wallpaper.)

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.
Hopefully someone can help me. a little background. I love a lot of the icons Riptide uses and the color menus. I also love a lot of the custom ui elements of myns.
In the past i have been able to "combine" the elements by editing the theme and have done a pretty good job doing the new riptide v9 and Myns rom (rls 4). I have everything almost exactly how i want it except for 1 part. This is what i am hoping someone can help with. As a warning i am not a developer just someone who has played around with changing themes etc to get the effect that i want.
In warm 2.2 when you pull down the notification bar you have a switch toggle. For some reason i cant seem to get it to show all the icons when i use riptide. it only shows 4. (see picture below.) I wouldn't mind the icons going back to the original ones in Myns if by changing them would still leave the icons on the notification bar itself as is. Anyone have any ideas on what i can tweak to try to get all of the toggles back on the screen? Is this something i would have to edit the .jars for? (havent had to edited them so far)
as an update i still can not get this working hopefully someone with more theme experience then me will be able to help. I have tried going .png by .png to find the gray boxes that show up. I believe i found them as the myn framework does not have that .png and it looks to be the box however i cant just remove the .png without bootloop. I am guessing i will have to adjust a .xml file or .jar to get this working as well
Since i dont have the slightest idea how to do this myself...
Is there anyone that would consider slightly changing the Litening 1.0 framework/UI for me?
I like the rom, it works very nicely, just a few things id really like to change with its look.
I really have trouble with reading menus (the ones that appear when phone is doing something or when you press long to get menu for copy, paste, move...) when the text below them is seen through, id also love to have the notification panel that you pull down without the logo in a simple black non-translucent color.
So if you could make version with the menus and those windows non-transparent, make the notification panel also a simple non-transparent black without the logo and if its not too hard maby add the overscoll glow... i know its a long shot asking this just for me, but id be so happy if this could be done and i bet some other users might also like such a mod...

here it is
I know of that one, but all the menus are still transparent, as well as the notification area (it doesnt have the logo which is nice, but its transparent instead). I really cant use transparent windows as it literally makes my head hurt. Thats the thing i need the most, solid menus/windows/notification area like all the other roms have. The circular battery icon from litening id miss if i used that mod, i really like that circular battery icon. So basically just need to get rid of transparency, the rest is pretty much gravy in litening... the overscroll glow would be a nice bonus, but not nearly as important to me.
I know this is a bit off topic now, but is there any way i could get the power savings widget like it was on the Galaxy S (think it used to be called power control and it had just wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync and brightness) with either blue or green lights? Could i get the one from Galaxy S somewhere that would work or has this already been made somewhere maby?
Or another way would be if someone would deodex the stock framework from KE7 for me so it would work in Litening 1.0... or teach me how to do that myself...
That would replace the menus and notification area with the stock one and leave the system menu and battery icon intact right?
Anyone willing to deodex it for me or at least tell me how to do it myself?
What do you want done? Just a black notification pulldown with no transparency? If so, if you upload your SystemUI.apk from your system/app folder I will do it for you.
EDIT: Or don't bother, I see you've just gone offline. If you want it done in the future, send me a PM.

Hi there.
Not so much long ago, I downloaded a file here that added to my notification bar the Wifi-Sound-Bluetooth-GPS-etc. switches, without any more change, it still looks like the stock notification bar when it's not open. For doing this, I remember I downloaded a file from this forum and overwrote the one inside my phone. But I don't remember wich file was.
Now I want to change the look of my notification bar. I don't want so much special, I just want it fully black, without any "light effect" as in the stock one. Simply black. The letters are ok as they are in stock.
So, in order to do this I think I remember that I have to modify again that file that I overwrote.
Am I right? How I do it and without deleting the sitches that I added first? Thanks.
I like the xperia S themed one from darkforest.
I've attached it if you want to try it. It's all black except for a slightly brighter line at the bottom.
EDIT: Actually, after a close look, it's not completely black (i.e. #000000), but a bit brighter than that.
Here's a screenshot of it http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o500/keiranFTW/playlist.png
I've looked around and most are only for the S3. I was going to try them but can't make a backup right now. Is there a way to remove the am/pm? or the clock completely? Just like how it shows when on the pin/pattern lockscreen.
I am looking for the same answer .
Anybody please?
Pretty sure Its an xml edit which I have done before on the captivate but it has been a while. Ill give it a try when im done classes
Edit: Scratch that computer is on the fritz but a less permanent and slightly more glitch way to do it is by downloading omega status bar from the market
