I was wondering if there are any really good Status Bar apps out there? Trying to emulate one of these following looks:

I tried Super Status Bar and it was very mediocre and StatusBar+ Lite but the "Lite" doesn't give me enough to play with to know what the premium version does. Not sure if these things are baked into the ROM or if there's a good app to do this.
I specifically want weather (with gorgeous icons like that 2nd and 3rd link), time, battery life, and signal strength but other options would be gravy.

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I couldn't even find a setting for transparency of the notification bar.

that changes the dock and not the notification bar
Hey, I really like the UI of windows phone 7, its sheer simplicity and how good it looks on the Super AMOLED screen... anyway, would it be possible to make a theme that immitates WP7 in all the ways possible? I know that there is an app called Launcher 7, and I use it, but its not a true theme because the status bar makes it just look fake. However, with a theme that themes the status bar naturally and other apps such as contacts, dialer etc, I think it would be a great start, perhaps even remove all TW blue and try to turn it wp7 green. I know there are limitations on what one can do with tw and theming, but it would still be a great project and I know the outcome would be great if one of you amazing themers decided to undertake it! Well, please let me know what you guys think and hopefully this will/can get done!

Edit: Just to clear things up... I would like to use Launcher 7 for this theme, so Icon theming is not prudent, however other aspects like Notification Bar, Status Bar, Contacts, Dialer, Notification Bar Icons, Lockscreen (6 locksrceen mod would make me happy), and whatnot are preferred... Also, the color can be changed in Launcher 7, so a themer could take liberty in changing the color of the status bar or w/e, but i prefer the black stock one with the wifi and signal to the left, Time and Battery to the right. Battery would be preffered to be left alone, but it could be shrunk or put vertically and then number icons could be next to it, indicatting charge... kind of like a ##I scheme with the I being the bar and the ## being the percentage, again, these are just ideas
They do have the status bar in UberMusic and a theme for ubermusic that looks like Zune WP7, but you can only use that bar in the app.
Until then, here's something that will help you make launcher 7 feel better. The official color codes from Windows Phone

Just put them in where you change the tile colors.
I mean,i have good ideas on how to go about doing things, but I wouldn't know where to start as I havnt used photoshop nor Gimp in 4 years... even though I did have traditional classes for it...

Download the ROM, grab the graphics, cook your own ROM.
How To´s are posted enough around here. :good:
Is there a mod to add data transfer speed the taskbar on cm 10 roms? I had a cm based rom on my phone that had this and I loved it. I don't really want to rom surf on my N7 right now so I was wondering if there's a mod to add this functionality to a standard cm rom.

edit...lol, it's what the dude above me linked to

Not a mod but a simple app can do this easily: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.internet.speed.meter.lite
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was hoping to find it in mod form, though, because I'd like to have the reading in the status bar, in matching color, right next to the wifi. Silly, I know, but I'm peculiar about layout and aesthetics

the Pro version of Network Monitor Mini allows all of those things, as well as custom font

It still doesn't quite suite my fancy.
I'm looking for a Magisk Module that allows the status bar to be customized with different icon styles for wifi, cell signal strength, battery, etc. Custom roms usually have this implemented, but I'm sure there's something I can install individually.
Any help is appreciated!

I have just a few for wifi-data and there is always 3Minit battery for battery customization.
This guy has made a gravitybox for a12. I tested it , didn't loop my p6pro I guess, but I don't think it works. I've got so many customisations on my phone anyway, but battery bar doesn't work. You can try it if you want. Link
Thanks folks. I just came across this thread that has all that I'm looking for. It's a new project that is adding in new features all the time that won't require me to jump ship to custom roms as much anymore. I appreciate everyone's help!
Android definitely needs updated sig strength icons FFS! The filled ones are horrible! Even better have an option to show dBM for cell signal!

Yep, I absolutely hate it. You can hardly tell how many bars you actually have. I prefer the Xperia signals because they're identical to the old style that was once used. Even iOS has better indicators!
