You need a services.jar edit and then a png edit. Pretty easy.

That is for the background. Reading through the other links on that tread, I still can't find the line in any or the services.jar areas.

That is a really good site. Sadly, it doesn't change all the icons on the factory rom. Dang, I'm so close to being done with this theme, only a few things standing in my way.

I was just reading a tutorial on this. I think it was in the droid x forum.

Well I made the rest of the icons, now I'm back to needing to change the clock and date color in the bar.

[SOLVED] Multimod in Epic Blue [Batt% Mod + Fascinate Music Player Mods]

If anyone knows who put out these great mods, I wish to give credit to where it is due. These are NOT my mods, a combined mod would be a big help.
This mod moves the time and date of the TWlockscreen down as to not interfere with the music player pull down from the Fascinate, it also modifies the coloring of the Music Player controls for both the lockscreen and status bar from lame purple to Epic Blue. And finally it adds in battery status by 1% increments.
UPDATE: kab0b0's work to get 2 mods combined ROCKED and solved one of the stupid purple backgrounds, I have now taken it a step further and managed to find both of the horribly lame purple backgrounds for the music app (lockscreen and status bar) and have modified them both to a more Epic Blue. I have uploaded this file. Again I take no credit for either of the Mods themselves (BOTH AWESOME, hence the need for combining), it was kab0b0's work that got us both combined. I just tweaked some colors, pm me if you wish to change them further and I can give you the specific files I had to change in order to get it working if you like.

I'll look at it tonight when I get out of work if someone don't beat me to it

If you haven't used that clock on the bottom mod it screws up your lockscreen pretty bad. If you still wanna use it though I can combine these mods for sure when I get off work tonight.
If you're just wanting the lockscreen mod for use with the music player, I made a new version that just moves the clock down and doesn't mess up your lockscreen. I can combine that with the other mod if you'd prefer.

Haha no problem. Actually, I'll look into that color change. I have a feeling I know exactly what needs done. Err but don't quote me on that lol.

Here, I rolled those two into one. I managed to get the background color changed on the pulldown menu from the notification bar but have yet to find the one from the lockscreen sorry. I'll keep hunting it down.
Here ya go http://www.mediafire.com/?d39dbjyhblg302k

awesome i was looking for this also!

i flashed this and it works great but it also turned the startup sound back on. anyway to fix this and keep it off?

Looks like I was beat to the punch

Does this mod include the fascinate music app?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

It does not include the actual music player.. Not sure why it would enable startup sound but I'll take a look after work!

hey, sorry if I sound like a total noob to this stuff, but how do you install the mod once you download it on the phone?
edit: nvm, i get it now

Awesome work. is it possible to push the clock down more so the disc doesn't overlap it?

Yeah that'd be pretty easy I'll have something tomorrow.

Thank you so much. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Was more annoyed with the overlapping of the clock than the color, but appreciate both now that they are changed. Great work.

Thanks for doing this kab0b0! Your work is appreciated!

Is there a way to get this to work with some of the battery percentage mods? I want to run one of the circle battery percentage themes from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793805
and every time I flash your fix for the music player, it reverts back to the plain jane version at the top of the link I provided. And every time I flash the circle version, it gets rid of your mod. Can we not have both?
Edit: NM, I did it myself. I am going to attach the zip file I created here if anyone else is interested, but first a word of caution. I am not a developer and I have no clue if what I did will work on your device or not. Works fine for me though. All I did was replace the PNG files in the OP's framework-res.apk res/drawable-hdpi folder with the ones I extracted from the link I provided above. Seems to work fine for me, but again, no clue what I am doing here.

Each one of these mods is done in the framework. They flash over each other. Samething with a theme. I'll see about incorporating this into my theme

Hey - Sweet theme!! Just flashed it and now my dialer won't open...in fact com.android.phone fc's when I take a call. Strange, hope you can fix it -- I WANT this theme! Also some of the controls inside the visual voicemail don't work now either.
Just wanted to let you know so you can see about addressing 'em...I'll be reflashing asap!

Hey thanks! As the op states this will probably bork a no ciq rom. Which I assume you may have? You cannot flash over a no ciq rom. Sorry about that. Also I didn't do anything to visual voicemail... it's not even in the theme... which also confirms that your don't is probably a no ciq rom. Let me know if you get it figured out...

[MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar 3/13/13 (Almost Done)

Update: 3/13/13 More thanks go out to the people that were able to get this done. I was able to get a flashable zip with more of bleached45's images working.
I know many people (including myself) are missing the black status bar mod from ICS. After a collaborating with other people I was able to figure something out.
By the way you don't need my permission to do anything with this zip (haha). All I ask is that you please thank me (always wanted to be thanked) and give me any critical advice to theming you have (trying to learn the right way).
To Install: (You must be on ZVB Deodexed to use!)
1.Flash the attached zip
2.Wipe cache and dalvik
3.Reboot
3.Win MVP
I'm responsible for nothing that happens to your phone (always wanted to say that). If your qualcomm enhanced location service force closes, Wipe your cache between the reboot. Otherwise just go to settings/wireless networks/more.../mobile networks/connections optimizer. Accept the terms and uncheck the box. The service is annoying anyway.
Issues:
The edit quick toggle button looks kind of weird :-/
There is a very small line inbetween the quick toggles and the date bar
Thank These People!
AdriVelasquez for the Deodexed Rom
B-Reezy for our original LG port of the black mod
bleached45 - Original theme creater and source of the files, and the flashable zip base
Lrod0175 - Provided the status bar with the cool blue bottom and was very helpful with feedback
pcrhckyman - Pointed me in the right direction for source of files
Kobe Bryant - For having the heart of a champion

Re: [MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar (Work-In-Progress)
Cool, I thanked you by the way
Edit: the reason you have the white edges is because that's a .9 image and you cannot color the whole image, you have to color the image inside the dots or lines in the edges, those are the ones that allow the image to stretch. You also need to decompile the app to see the points and lines of the .9 images other wise they will show as a regular PNG.

Hey, I have a JB version out for the ATT variant, I believe you can get the files out of my mod and copy them into yours.
I would offer more help but have class in a few minutes and don't have my computer.
I recompiled the .9.pngs and I believe the file names are the same.
What the files are called I don't remember off the top of my head.
Just copy/paste any pure black images from my mod and the bottom slider (the two pngs with the 3 horizontal bars) and the quick settings edit buttons.
It is mostly just eyeballing what file looks like what part of the UI.
I can't promise it will work, but it should.
HERE is my thread. All 4 JB versions have the same image files, so it shouldn't matter which one you grab.

Thank you for everything. I used your indi_noti_btn_edit_normal.9 and indi_noti_btn_edit_pressed.9 files in drawable-xhdpi and it appears they are not stretched the same for our phones. I attached a screen. I'm reading how to edit .9 pngs but I haven't had any luck. If you could drop a few words of wisdom I would appreciate it. Specifically, I see the original dots of the png. I'm assuming I erase those in the photo editor and resize the image, then use draw9patch and put new dots in the same place? And if I see a black border on the side of the grey image, can I assume they stretched the entire side of the png? Thanks for everything and sorry to take your time from school, I'm in school as well.

Good luck! Start with simple stuff, like changing status bar icons and go from there.

I would love to see a Black Status Bar similar to the one b-reezy posted for ICS or the other JB Status Bar but without the changed icons.

[REQUEST] Black Status Bar

I'm looking for something simple and flashable that will just change the Sense 5 status bar from the grey radial gradient to a solid black, but I want to keep the Sense 5 icons, they're great. This stupid grey statusbar is literally killing all of Sense for me, and I LOVE the rest of sense, but the status bar is omnipresent and I'm really just not a fan.
I'm running Android Revolution 9.3 but I don't mind switching Sense ROMS if necessary.

I'm doubling up on this request :fingers-crossed:

I too would like to see this :good:

Me too, it's difficult to see the white icons when I have a bright wallpaper set.
