Alright, I just got a hold of CM7 for my Incredible 2 and wanted to know how I can get a 50% transparency status bar. I looked all over, even in that Meizu theme thread (or whatever it's called) and I still can't find out how to do it. Can anybody please give me a quick tutorial? Please?
Bump! SOMEBODY needs to know how to do this...
I would also like to know how.
I mean, I GOT it and everything, but the clock is centered. Rest assured I am restoring a Nandroid right now. I don't want a centered clock.

it isn't a quite tutorial, inverting the status bar mean, that you need to change the .png of the status bar from black to whatever transparency you want, I use paint.net...
then EVERY status bar icon has a black background.. you need to change probably over 100 icons give or take to have it look correct other wise u will have a transparent staus bar with icons that have a black background.
I suggest using the UOT kitchen. much faster. and it should do this MOD for u, I'm not sure I've never used it but people seem to like it.
download the Metamorph app and search for "metamorph darkshade.zip". The darkshade.zip file will theme your notification pulldown for you. You'll have to do a battery pull after applying the theme but afterwards you'll be golden.
I've tried using metamorph but it does do anything for my Inc2 and I'm on CM7. Any help?

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?

3.5 comes transparent...
Im refering to the top black bar where the clock and battery are
woops sorry it was getting late, misread, umm, as far as I know I'd find a theme that has it, we have a few made for the Inc. riptide is another theme for the evo I think that has it you can use the framework-res.apk .pngs to make the things you want transparent.
I like Creeds Status bar, maybe we can customized it? I Like the MIUI Battery, Sleek Looks. Hope we can have that here too.
Have you try UOT Kitchen
Have u seen MIUI?
What am referring is the placement of status bar icons. The signal bar in the left. Clock in Middle. Others in right.

Does anyone know how to make the notification/status bar transparent? I am running Calk's FE22 v1.6 and the pulldown is already transparent but I would like to make the top black bar transparent as well so the wallpaper covers the entire screen. Anyone help? Thanks - TD

I already figured this out. Can't recall which thread did it for me and you need to know how to decompile systemui:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523703
Also, if you're using Go Launcher, you need to enable High Quality Drawing in Preferences/Advanced or it won't work! I already posted the transparent notification bar mod somewhere in Calkulins' v1.6 ICS thread.

I believe it is not possible to have a transparent status bar over all the apps since many of the apps don't bother to put anything behind the status bar. It can be only in the Home screen ans some apps.
Regd the second one. I can't help you mate!!
