How do I go about adding this to my ROM? I can't find anything anywhere telling me how to add it in.
Also, how do I change the notification dropdown from white to transparent? I tried editing all the files I thought I needed, but it still is solid white.

Im not sure about the vol controls, but i believe the kernel has to support it.
I made my pulldown, quick settings, and system pop ups transparent using uot kitchen it was really simple.

i want to fully apply themes from other roms but the thing i think that is stopping me is that toggles for wifi and silent mode etc. any way to remove them
Do you mean that you want to remove the notification bar on top? Risky business.

No, he wants to remove the WLAN/GPS toggle..
But he wrote that
I dont know anything about howto remove/change them.. AFAIK you cannot change the toggles (or not very easy).
You have 3 options :
1. Smali edit it
2. Apktool edit the layout xml's to make toggle property invisible/gone
3. Live with it
You want to REMOVE the toggles in the Notification Bar? I wish i could ADD more toggles in there. Much better than going back to the main screen to change stuff using Extended Controls.
Data Network enabling/disabling would be sweet (and that's the only toggle i'm missing there).
Try quick Desk from the android market.
Thats the best way Ive found.

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?

Hey Everyone,
I successfully used UOT Kitchen to change battery icon, status bar text color, change the default font on my phone, change pop-up colors, make my drop down notification black and semi-transparent.
However, the one thing that doesn't work is the text on the notification pull down bar is black which is of course unreadable on a black semi-transparent background.
I changed it in UOT Kitchen to Blue. Then I tried doing it over again and changed it to Orange. The end result is still black.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running Stock+ which is Gingerbread based Rom from here on XDA.

Next time please post this questions in the Q/A area:
But from what you are saying the test for "ongoing" notifications are staying black right? like music and things of that nature??? that is because the texts is stored in there own apk. so if you want to change the color of the text you will need to take apart the apk for each app that uses the "ongoing" notification area.
I think I got it
First off, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Thanks for answering and not kicking me out! It won't happen again.
So basically, since the HTC Inc is supposed to have a white pull down notification, most apps make their text black and it would have to be changed in each app (text messaging, google voice texts, etc).
I did run the app Cache Cleaner which posts its results in the notification and they surprisingly showed up in the color (blue) that I had chosen in UOT. But nothing else has, so I guess I just need to change my background color to white or something that works with black text.
Thanks,

No worries on the kick. i dont flame.
The notifications are broken down into 2 groups. "ongoing" and "notification". If its a notification that is controlled by the framework-res.apk it will be themed from the UOT most market apk and gapps use the ongoing section so they are held within there respected apk. the only way around it is to do what you said. have a white bg or if you go and change each apk. sorry. :/
guys i used the UOT kitchen, could i replace the mod'd framework-res.apk by jus using the root explorer?? i mean paste it in the system folder den set permissions n then move it to the system/framework/ folder??
Had this issue to. Tried everything to change the text color with no luck. I finally gave up and settled for a transparent white pulldown. It dosent look to bad but is a bit of a contrast from my mostly black transparent theme.
All I'm wanting to do is be able to make the toggle buttons smaller, remove the text from the toggles, and I also want to remove the toggle indicator underneath the icons. I want the notification drop down to look a lot cleaner; similar to the one from Paranoidandroid . There's a screenshot of the notification drop down attached to this post.
I would also like to be able to have the drag bar be able to light up when you touch it. It's a feature in the Galaxy Nexus and in the paranoidandroid rom as well.
Is there anyone who would be willing to send me some links to tutorials, or a basic how-to's? I've been trying to figure out how to do this myself, but working in the military leaves very little free time like I used to have. I've been googling the crap out of how to do this on my own, but I just keep getting the transparent mods, toggle button mods, and changing the colors.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
With some ROMs, the notification drawer is transparent or semi-transparent, but I find it much easier to read when it's solid black. I've found tons of apps & posts about how to make it transparent, but not non-transparent. Any thoughts?

Some ROM's let you set any image as the background of the notification and quick settings menus. If so, just pick a color you like, make a JPG of that color, and use it. however most ROM's that let you do that also give you the option of selecting a solid color.

Thanks. Any thoughts if the ROM doesn't have that feature?
Download xblast module or wanam lers you chanfe everything from clock color/size/position and all colors in system ui
??
I'm assuming you don't know about the xposed app? Download xposed off of xda. There is a whole forum and then download the module gravitybox and you can change the color of it. And you don't have to change your rom. It's really simple.:laugh:
