I tried to get a semitransparent statusbar in the sgs 2. Some launchers like Zeam and TW support transparent statusbar. I modded the framework-res.apk and system ui. But seems there is something else that prevent transparent statusbar. Any ideas?
send a message to the person or post in the thread about their theme as AFAiK they have a transparent notification bar in it

So I've been searching for a solution to turn my statusbar completely transparent but with no result.
I've edited the statusbar_background.9.png file to completely transparent but all I get is a black statusbar.
On other threads and screenshots they are using other launchers, could this be the problem? Im using ADW launcher.
Btw, The statusbar is transparent when the lockscreen is on but as soon as I unlock and return to the homescreen the statusbar is black.
What I want is my background to go all the way up but still see all icons in the statusbar, so disabling the statusbar is not an option.
Note that I do not mean the draggeddown statusbar.
post your framework-res and i will post a transparent one for you
other launcher use 16 bit resolution. transparent notification bar can only be showed in twlauncher i think
This is my framework-res.apk without the statusbar edits I've done.
Thanks!
It worked now. Thanks anyway lgkahn.
The problem was ADW Launcher as corgar said.
Worked fine with Zeam launcher, lets see if Zeam is worth keeping.
Lol turn off 16 bit mode 'wallpaper hack' option in adw settings. That will give you transparency you wanted.
nvm I found it our
Thanks Merdini!!
OK. Now a lot of us know this that it is possible to change the status bar color in idle for TW Launcher to transparent. This makes it display the entire wall paper in the background rather then just showing an ugly looking black bar in the idle screen. But then is this hack only restricted to TW launcher. Is there no file like "status_bar_background" in the LP or ADW launcher which can be replaced by a transparent one so that it gives one a transparent look just like it does in TW when you replace the above said file?
Q&A forum mate, and its not a MOD
Oops! Sorry for the wrong thread. I was wondering if any themer would reply to this one...
I would like to ask on how to change the status bar from Gingerbread to Froyo theme? Is this possible on a Stock S5360 Rom?
I've been searching for a mod through google and I can't find any.
What I want to do is to make a white statusbar with black text and icons. I used UOT Kitchen and flashed the zip. What happened was the notification area changed but the status bar remained the same. So I opened the framework-res.apk and edited the .png files.
My dilemma is I can't read some of the icons since they are still white in color. Then I found the Froyo statusbar which is an easier alternative for my project.
Thanks
You can do that with UOT Kitchen, just set the status bar background colour to #FFFFFF and the text #000000. Use the previews!
I'm not even sure if this is possible, but is there any way to get all these mods combined together? Every time I flash one or the other they seem to overwrite each other and I lose the previous mod... something like the following:
Icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255642
Blue battery with no clock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187583
Transparent dock + folders:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301444
Then add to the above a transparent app drawer, transparent notification bar, transparent notification menu, and a sense style EQS. If this is possible I will love you forever :laugh: Thanks!
In 4.3 firmwares status bar and status bar icons transparent.
Can anybody mod statusbar for non-transparent statusbar icons?
Nova launcher has it built in.
I am using S4 launcher. I need mod
