I found a theme that does it but still I wanna know know what it is... Changing transparancy does nothing.

You go into your system with adb find the directory for framework go into it look for the app framework_res.apk pull it using command prompt once you have it out then you want to open it up with winner,or 7zip which ever you use then look for this image status_bar_background.png edit it using your favorite tool for editing I use Gimp....after you edit it you need to save it and close up your editing tool then you need to push the app back to your system.... I'm going to post a link to a thread that is good for learning how to theme check it out it will get you started.....

Are all app icons found in the framework-res.apk/drawable hdpi folder? Is there a certain name that all the icons are given because I can't seem to find the app icon in a couple apps... I'm not sure if I'm not looking right or there really not there.

No, they are usually in the apps themselves. For instance email.apk is in the drawable_hdpi as icon.png.

Ohhh.. lol because I seemed to always know how to change the settings icon somehow and I remember changing the phone and contacts icons a while ago but for some reason forgot to check the apps themselves.. or maybe I did search in the app but couldn't find the exact name lol. Well thanks ill see if I have any problems.

Well, this isn't home screen related. It's in the system somewhere. It's like the system wallpaper for settings and stuff. It's just kinda always there on certain system pages. Like when you open an app and it's loading up. This wallpaper is here. The stock is below.

CRAP ! LOL I know someone knows. I am sure it is simple enough. Just gotta know what file to replace in the system . . .
Is it only in the settings? If so you could decompile the settings.apk and see where it is

Not just settings. That was just the easiest way to get a screen shot. It's hard to explain. It's like the "default", background for the system. Whether your in settings or transitioning between apps or whatever. It's there.

Hey thanks for helping me out. I am sure you have alot on your plate other than this. lol. If I can just ask one follow up question or two. When you say "Push to the phone" Should I modify the files in the .zip and then flash that to the phone? And also when you say "swap it out with a .png image of the same size" Is that just as simple as converting the file by changing the extension? or do I need an actual file converter? And then when you say the same size are you reffering to the literal kb or mb size? or the resolution? I hope I am asking these questions clear and concise so there easy to answer. Thanks again. this is an awesome theme. Just a creepy background. lol. The guy pops up every time I do something lol. It's like WTF? lol

Push means use adb.
Same size as in 92x92 or whatever the size of the image was. And rename it to .png

I just had an "ah ha" moment. In order to edit the .apk I would need to hook up to a pc to use a program such as ADB. Got it. I was able to convert another image to a .png image. I have it figured out. I just think it's bit more than I want to do. I am always around my phone but seldom in front of a PC where I could have the necessary tools to modify it, as apparently there isn't an app I can use to edit the framework-res.apk on my phone. Unless I am missing something. I will deal with the creepy guy for now lol.

Extract/unzip the apk and in the resources folder it'll probably be in one of the drawable folders.
