[REQ] Transparent Notification Bar - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm running the latest Sony ICS Beta and it is really really great, Thanks Devs!
I would like to have a fully transparent notification bar (not the whole drop down panel only the vertical part where data icons are displayed). It seems it's already a little (very little) transparent in this rom.
Could someone help ? I searched for solutions but I didn't find anything I could do with my actual knowledge
Thanks again!

Well since there is little chance they would do that to the Rom, I suggest using the app called statusbar+ it makes your notification Bar look like windows phone 7 (which has transparent background)
Btw isn't the notification bar horizontal? Lol

You could always try making your own

Try MIUI V4 it's ICS version.
MIUI is a whole different experience specially the GB version

[Q] Transparent Notification Bar

I'm currently running SkyRaider's 3.1 Sense rom on my Incredible but im having issues with random reboots, etc. I tired Virtuous 2.7 rom and its ridiculously smooth. The only thing that really bugs me about that rom is the notification bar. I hate the stock one now that ive gotten so used to the transparency. I used the Incredible Revolution theme and the notification bar was fine but i wasnt really feeling the whole red colored theme. If someone can help me out with making a zip file for a transparent notification bar like the one in SkyRaiders rom i will definitely consider buying you a beer. =P haha

im talking aboout the pull down menu that has the notifications. ive only found one with a 50% shade.
I'm also searching for this.
I would also like an easy way to modify the transparency on the notifications pull down. I haven't found an easy way yet (other than begging a dev to do it )
There is a post somewhere with a flashable file for this
what roms are you guys running? i figured out how to do it.
skyraider 3.3.2 - have you figured out how to change the color yet?
please tell how to do transparent! the only flashable zip of it i could find only works with the stock sense launcher and still didnt work too well

[REQUEST] Windows Phone 7 Theme

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...

GB Notification Bar

Hey guys, I'm on RMK's unity. I love sense, but I always preferred the GB green images in the status bar. I can make a quick test of what'd id look like with the modified framework. Would anyone be interested? Also, would you prefer the sense two color notification bar, or the single color notification bar (ex: CM7).
Ive been waiting for a stock GB status bar for virtuous! Icons, battery, all GB. Had it on my inc1 with almost every ROM I ran and loved it. I say dev away my friend. Everyone will flash it once It's out. Okay....maybe not everyone, but lots.

Thankyou for the link.. helpful but a little over my head im afraid.. Just wanted something i could flash
EDIT: Flashed your Bluemix theme from the Kitchen and does exactly what i want! - You should have just said to flash that! -
Nice theme - thanks!
Sileshnair, as said above i flashed your bluemix theme and it was perfect as it had the scrolling notification bar which was just what i wanted.
I have now upgraded to CheckROM 3.1.1 and i flashed both your new themes - but neither has the scrolling notification bar.
IS there any chance you could mod any so they do? Your themes are perfect for me except this small minor problem. No worries if you cant - but i have to ask!
Thanks!!!

[Q] Question About Beautifying ICS ROM

Hi guys, I use to be a ROM beautifier (just did it for myself), and had already made some costumed Gingerbread ROM based on CM7. Yesterday I saw a post in Desire HD forum, the post is about getting rid of the old app’s ugly gingerbread theme, and change it to ICS’s new holo theme. I am inspired and started to do the beautify work on Andromadus’ Audacity Beta 2.
And now I am stumped by the dialog background, the process bar (Activity Bar also included), and the GB style buttons. First of all, I can’t find a way to change the gingerbread style dialog background. Then, due to the way old progress bar is formed, I could not make it like ICS style progress bar. Also, if you change the .9.png of the old style buttons, errors happened.
So I need help. Could you please tell me the way to change the buttons and progress bars into ICS style? By the way, I’m a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, so please help me with an as perfect as possible way.
