Status bar, not notification pull down. I've already gotten the notification working, as it was just a standard png edit.
Anyway, is there anyone that can give an explanation on how I can get my status bar to be transparent? I've already gotten the proper image from system/app/SystemUI.apk. I edited it and saved it properly for transparency. Where I'm getting stuck is the whole draw 9 thing, since the image is a ".9.png" file. I've already opened the png in the draw 9 patch tool in the SDK, but I'm just totally stuck at this point.
I sort of understand the deal with drawing black lines on the right and the bottom for the content areas, then the two dots on the top and left for the stretchable areas. But after I save the file, I'm still seeing the drawn black lines in the image. Am I not doing something right? After I get that sorted, how do I go about resigning the apk to push it to my device?
You'll need to run Eclipse, this tutorial helped me with draw nines. Once you put them thru Eclipse, the lines will disappear. Then you can extract them from the unsigned apk like the video states, use 7zip to put the images back into your framework-res.apk or whatever without having to resign anything.

I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it
Edit: Nevermind, I'm editing the right file. I just did a test and made it completely red and it worked. But, for some reason transparency is not working at all, it just keeps appearing solid black.
I believe it's in services.jar if I'm not mistaken. Or so that's what I had heard. I haven't messed with it myself.
Can you make it semi-transparent?

Yeah, I've tried about everything I can think of. If you get something put together, I might figure out how to put together a flashable zip of a transparent or semi-transparent status bar and pull down for stock CM7 theme.
Which one do you need? status bar or statusbar?

Sent you a PM.
The actual image is in SystemUI.apk. But it won't render transparent without an xml our services.jar hack. It's a pain in the ass. Also if you actually make it transparent you are going to have problems with text and image stacking when you pull down down notifications. I just replace the image in SystemUI.apk with a 480x38 top part of my wallpaper.

Here's a test SystemUI.apk that you can flash that I'm using for maybe my next update on my Custom CM7 Incredible ROM.

Unfortunately it only works on the lockscreen, screen transitions, and with live wallpapers. I don't use live wallpapers so it just remains a black bar for me.

In ADW Launcher settings to go System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack, and the transparency will be enabled with regular wallpaper.
With Launcher Pro, it only works with LWP.

Indeed that does work. Now, if I could only get that transparency to work with the original CM7 theme. I'm not a fan of all the extra theming stuff that particular patch adds. Thank you though.

Ahh gotcha. Didn't quite get your question the first time.
Unfortunately, I can't really help ya. Myself, I'm trying to work through the SDK right now for much the same reason. I'd like to contribute instead of just leeching off everyone.
One thing you might not've thought of that might help...is you could DL Myn's (on your computer)and then just unzip the file and check out what all the XML files/etc look like/say.

Don't waste your time.....it's not in the xmls
It's a png file. It's probably indexed, so you'll have to change it to a RGB first....then just set the transparency.

Sure you're not talking about status_bar_close_on.9.png? That is the pull down notification bar.
Figured out what you're talking about.
You are talking about "status_bar_background.png" not "statusbar_background.png".
status_bar_background.png is the notification background but statusbar_background.png is the status bar itself.
....very subtle difference. lol

ok so i changed statusbar_background.png as you suggested. it worked partially. as you can see in pic 1 (lockscreen) the status bar is translucent, but in pic 2 (homescreen) it comes out black. Also, i did replace icons for 3g wifi etc. but as you can see some of them work (silent mode) and some of them are reverted back to the original ones (gps, 3g, signal). i extracted my framework-res and in the folder the icons i changed/replaced are still there, but they just dont show up.

i dont have an answer, but i can help. to make the notification tray translucent, you need to put in a translucent png AND change a line or two in the coding of a .smali file.
i have no idea what to change for the bar, but if anybody is interested in the tray, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7739623&postcount=53
also make sure to get the transperant .png from the op.

thats only for the notification bar background. i have done that already.
i need to find out why some icons aren't workin in my taskbar and why my homescreen taskbar is black n how to make it translucent.

It doesn't do anything to the power widget in the notification bar.. I just have mine set to white.
As for the notification bar, what rom are you running? It might have just not stuck.
Just a suggestion, please update the Instruction if this requires De-odexed ROM. Some people may load it and get a boot loop.
Thank for the work.

I ended up redownloading the zip, framework installed then, but still running into odd issues with the font, stands out the most with application titles. Terminal emulator, sound recorder, and rom manager each have a series of squares in the title as an example.

As long as people help themselves more, such as you are doing, then I am more than happy to stick around and point people in the right direction. It would be completely different if you made a thread that said "I want a transparent notification bar. Make me one now." So as long as people start doing things like this more often, I'll be back in no time.

Ok, here's what I have found with making a transparent noticication bar for the Epic. Making the png semi-transparent will work, but only for the lock screen. Another png or image will hide the transparent bar with a black background. I have tried to find which image does this, but no luck so far.
statusbar_background.9.png is the status bar image.
Here is the one I use. You can get away with just editing this without worrying about draw9patch because it just stretches.

It in the framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
The reason you can only see it on the lockscreen or on a live wallpaper is because of the launcher you are using has the background image set for 16bit, showing black under the status bar b/c the image doesn't fit. This shouldn't be the case for new newest LauncherPro as I'm told, the stock TWlauncher, or the 2.2 Launcher (Launcher2). If needed, just pull the TWlauncher from my rom, or you can run a live wallpaper.
Hope this helps.

Follow the instructions in this post. Just pull the correct image from the correct directory instead of the ones mentioned in the linked post. It shows you how to use gimp to make the image transparent.

I changed my Icons to better match the ICS blue theme. Here they are if you want them.
Here is a zip containing most of my icons, all that are pictured in this thread and some more. This zip contains all 3 sizes of each icon to replace every icon in the apk. They are numbered by size 48,72,96. However they are also all the same file name and contained in individual zips. So be careful not to overwrite when unpacking.

Rename mms.apk to mms.zip

Then install however you normally would
The contacts and phone icon are located in the contacts.apk it's done the same way as the mms.apk, in the same folder name, just replace ic_launcher_phone.png, and ic_launcher_contacts.png
I have copies of my apk's. You probobly should too. Lemme know if i need to change something.

Fyi, if you use ninjamorph you can change these right from your phone. Amazing app and I just tested to make sure it still works for us and it worked perfect.

Thank the dev for sure. It didn't work for me when I tried to change images in systemui btw so it may only cooperate on non-framework apks for now.

Which one?
I have some of them pre packaged in apk's already.
As far as flashable zips go, I am on the fence. I believe you should learn to do a few core things, in case something gets messed up and you don't have a zip to flash and fix. I probably will build a zip that contains all the updated Gapps with different themed icons when I am finished with the notification icons.
Which music icon do we replace?

Tried there, and nothing, the icon was indeed 72x72.
Any chance you could do the market too?

I dont know what music2.apk is....
my google music is googlemusic.apk, pulled from data/app/googlemusic.apk
gtalk,mms/smms,gmail,contacts are being done first. I am theming the icons in your notification bar as i go. It takes some time.
So I've been trying something, but with no success at all... maybe someone who knows his way around xmls better can help me...
I'm using CheckROM RevoHD v4 , and Vert's ICS Domination theme over it. What i would really like is to have a transparent statusbar...
What I tried so far :
- extracted SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from CheckROM zip and then
used zdune's patcher to get flashable zips.
This obviously didn't work because the apks currently in my rom are modified by
Vert's theming
- So i used rootBrowser to get those two files from the system folder on my
phone since obviously they are the updated ones, so i tried to patch those two
but to no avail , it didn't work
In both cases when i flash it i completely lose the status bar and the notifications , i.e. no way to open them.
Zdune's patcher may only work with CM7 based roms , I'm not sure if it even works with TW Roms at all.
So if anyone knows what I may be missing , or knows another way I can get it transparent , please tell me. I'm really not quitting until i get it the way i want.
Edit : Opened a thread because no-one replied on my post in Vert's theme thread
Try this, it's a different phone but it's basically the same:

What about semi-transparent? Looks nice on miui and would look nice on GB as well imho.

I want this too. Even just the ability to use a png for the status bar rather than the solid black one which I presume is controlled by an xml.

I tried redirecting the status bar xml inside systemui to point to a png instead of a hex colour and it worked, but constantly force closed on me so I must have missed something.
The man to ask is criskelo as his roms support custom status bars.

You can edit the statusbar.XML to point to a PNG. That's the easy part and offcourse the smali edit to make it transparent.
You can then use adw launcher and remove the wallpaper hack to make the statusbar transparent. But it does not work as expected, atleast for me. There is also the problem of notifications overlapping over the date.
In miui when you drop down the notification bar, the status bar does not stay transparent anymore. It points to another png.

If I change anything I usually delete the public.xml so it re generates, I think I know where I went wrong but I have been too busy to try again, maybe try later when I get a spare hour.
This what i mean
stock themed statusbar

Semi transparent statusbar
Problem when notification bar is dropped down ( don't bother abt date background. I forgot to change it to fully transparent. See overlap )

Send me your SystemUI.apk from the rom you are running now and i'll make a semi-transparent and a fully transparent one for you.
Let me see regarding moving the date down.
