I was able to edit the htccdma smali and the 6 bar PNG's are now displayed... but for some reason the last 2 bars are never shown. The icon maxes out at 4 bars. But I'm sure its the 6 bar icon set. Does anyone know where I could look to fix this issue.

There is more to the 6 signal bar edit than just the icons, there are xml edits to do as well. ( Sorry i don't know what they are however).
Thanks blackhawk. I'm aware there are XML files to edit. I believe I correctly edited htccdma in services.jar. I'm not sure what xml needs to be edited tho. I think I read once statusbar.xml but I've looked there and haven't found anything

Okay I want to make the status bar transparent and the pull down tray as well.
I want something like the transparency the top bar in OSX 10.6. I hate hiding my background and since I'm going for a minimal look, it's awfully distracting.
I tried to make the edits myself in photoshop and went ahead and resigned the .9.png files too. But when I pushed the framework-res.apk file back...only the notification bar had changed. and the pull down bar stayed solid.
Can anyone list for me which files specifically I need to change so I can make the notification bar and pull down tray transparent?
I would go ahead and make the changes myself.
I'm currently on FreshEvo, anyone think it would look better on cm6? or easier?
I found that 85% opacity seemed to work well enough but the black bar on sense was less than ideal, but acceptable. There was a problem with that too, the icons for mail notifications, cell signal, etc had their own black background that showed like black squares, I'd need to know which files to edit for that too.
I'm thinking that the aosp top bar, or if anyone knows of a white/aosp theme for senseroms, would work better.
P.S. The first time I edited my framework-res, I had to re-add all my accounts on the phone? what happened?? lol
All help appreciated

in launcher pro, making the status bar transparent wont matter becuase there needs to be a wallpaper hack i believe, unless you use a live wallpaper, the transparency will show. All the files are in the framework-res.apk that you need to change i believe, aside from the pulldown tray, that is the services.jar. i could post my theme for ya, but it changes everything.
What is your theme? Maybe there's a framework-res in it I could take a peek at to compare your edits.

What do you edit in services.jar? I cant find the reference to it... the pulldown tray, that is, making it transparent.
The bars in your bottom picture are in framework-res/drawable-hdpi/
-status_bar_background.png
-status_bar_header_background.9.png
-statusbar_background.png
-status_bar_close_on.9.png
In that order
You need to edit all of the status bar icons also they have black blocks behind all of them. Like stat_notify_disk_full.png there are some in framework-res and some in com.htc.resources
The white part can only be made transparent with services.jar. I know there are downloads of it on here just do a search for services.jar.
Manup has a bunch for download that make it transparent and remove the clock and stuff.
Here is a guide on how to make your own

Thank you, answered my question fully.
Would I be correct to assume that in cm6, all the status bar icons have white blocks begins them?

I'm looking to get my notifications bar transparent. Not the pulldown, but the actual bar. i found one .zip that was a couple months old that worked, but it wouldnt work with circle battery and no loc, and i dont know how to compile the three of those into the framework (or whatever) myself. does anyone know a relatively simple way to get my notifications bar semi or fully transparent (50% or 75% or 100%). thanks!
Nope sorry, I've been looking for this too. Well this or a MIUI status bar for sense
ive been trying to port over the one from riptides evo theme without success
as soon as i get it to work i will post
for any of you interested, I wrote up a quick tutorial on making your status bar transparent yourself. It's easy.

Title says it all. Can icons like the alarm clock, vibration, etc be hidden?
I'm pretty sure they can't but they're location in framework-res for editing. I've seen edits on them to make them appear removed but they're physically still there
That's odd, there are obviously morphs and flashable mods for other ROMs that can hide said icons. Is this not possible in CM because of the gb framework or what?
can hide but not remove
Any pre-made mods you know of?
What all icons do you want removed? I could create a meta morph file that could do this easily.
I'd like the alarm icon and the vibe/silent(?) icons removed myself, if you could do a morph that'd be amazing.
go to systemui.apk or framework-res.apk and delete the desired icons
Will doing that leave a space where the icon should be?
Sorry for the post on an old, dead thread, but did anyone ever get this working? I'm curious. I would like the alarm icon removed as well, but I don't just want a space there.

It is probably possible to remove them all together by someone with the right skills, but it would be tons of work. The simplest and most used way of hiding the icon is to edit the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, replacing the icon poctures with empty transparent images. This stops you from seeing the icon but its still there and will still take up a space, it will just be a blank space.
I am curious how to change the color of the signal bar icon. I have tried changing the pngs. in System UI but I get no status bar after. Please help me get away from the white signal bar icon. Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure its either in the framework.apk or the htc.resources.apk
Is there any ziptheme mod, or does anyone know what do I have to edit to have those icons on the left side of the staus bar?
Thanks in advance.

(This really should be in Q&A section) But there is a way. You can edit the statusbar.xml (res/layout/) to put the signal cluster before the notification icons. and then you can edit signal_cluster_view.xml (or signal_cluster_view_generic.xml on sense roms) to reorder wifi and signal bars, so that it looks nicer. try that.

If youre new to this sort of stuff this would be hard. You would have to decompile systemui.apk and as ive said, modify the layout file to move signal cluster view to the begining of the status bar
