[Q] change notification bar - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
I have CM7
and I want to change the ugly black background in the notification bar, to something like sense or something...
there is an application to change it?
thanks for any help

Theme Chooser, download themes from the market or on here. Transparent themes won't work unless you patch cm7 first though.

Never heard of patching it. Could you tell me how to do that?

a sick status bar will just be the icing on the cake for my wildfire.
I have tried apps like custom status bar and status bar + but neither offer what i want.
I'm sure i found an app that let me set wallpapers as the texture for the bar, but i cant remember which app it was

Motoblur type rom?

Is there such an thing? I like how the icons in the status bar look on the motorblur. There isn't any motoblur roms, if therre was it'd be cool, but I just like the icons and the status bar colors and icons? Can any devs out there, make something like that? Thanks

Sound like all you need is a theme, I know ADW launcher has a theme on the market that takes care of that, free too

go to setting.. cm setting.. user interface.. tweaks extras, select a theme
I did that but only the notification bar changes?

If the notification bar changed it means that at least the framework-res.apk was changed, so maybe the theme did get applied.
Sometimes you have to manually set the widgets and the icons in order for the theme to look similar to the screenshots.
Which theme are you trying to install?
Well I understand that part but I seen themes where the apps are different and indicator colors are always different ..for example bliss and inexus ..I found those on themselves and apps on this forum

Get a theme like the Ice Cream Sandwich theme, apply it in theme chooser and these status bars are usually faster (for me)
He said he wants to get ICS status bar on a 2.2 rom.
And I never got any issues with the UOT kitchen... Try making another theme.
He said he wanted a status bar that was fast like the wildpuzzle rom, he never said for a 2.2 ROM.

The other way around. After the developer of WildPuzzleRom stopped work on it, somebody else took it on with the original dev's permission and gave the new version the name RemPuzzleRom.
I see.. thx a lot.

[Q] Notification bar replacement

Hi folks. Im using Cyanogenmod 7.2 and i do not like the Notification bar from it.
Can someone explain to me how to replace the Notification Bar in Cyanogenmod 7.2, and where to locate it in the ROM zip file ?
And one more question. Can I somehow use status bar from cyanogenmod 6.1 in cyanogenmod 7.2 ?
sry for my bad english
The statusbar is inside systemui.apk but I wouldn't recommend messing with it that way as you'll break it if you don't know what you're doing. If you just want to replace the images then download some themes from the market or xda and apply them with theme Chooser.

Thanks for the tip.
But is it possible to put the Notification bar from cyanogenmod 6.1 to cyanogenmod 7.2 and to work ?
No, it wont work.
It would be possible to theme cm7 statusbar to look like cm6 but not to use the actual cm6 one as the framework is different.

Transparent Nav Bar

How do I make the nav bar transparent?
I have tried editing the home_nav_bar_bg.png in one of the theme's apk but that didn't change anything.
There are no good tutorials on theming as well.
I'd like to make the top bar (the one that shows battery etc) transparent too as now it is a bit dark opacity.

That's probably the worst advice ever.
