Hi there.
Not so much long ago, I downloaded a file here that added to my notification bar the Wifi-Sound-Bluetooth-GPS-etc. switches, without any more change, it still looks like the stock notification bar when it's not open. For doing this, I remember I downloaded a file from this forum and overwrote the one inside my phone. But I don't remember wich file was.
Now I want to change the look of my notification bar. I don't want so much special, I just want it fully black, without any "light effect" as in the stock one. Simply black. The letters are ok as they are in stock.
So, in order to do this I think I remember that I have to modify again that file that I overwrote.
Am I right? How I do it and without deleting the sitches that I added first? Thanks.
I like the xperia S themed one from darkforest.
I've attached it if you want to try it. It's all black except for a slightly brighter line at the bottom.
EDIT: Actually, after a close look, it's not completely black (i.e. #000000), but a bit brighter than that.
Here's a screenshot of it http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o500/keiranFTW/playlist.png

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.
Has everyone ever thought about porting the default/stock android notification bar, with all its icons and such and its greyish color?? The same I can see in the android emulator on my computer to be clear...I think it's really good!
Is it difficult to port it?
no wouldnt be to hard you would have to replace the icons from galaxy framework-res.apk with the ones from stock one
Looking for this but can't find it anywhere
I made stock like notification bar a while ago, but I haven't had time to finish it. The only thing that was left was changing the text colour on the notification bar / pull down.
EDIT: I've attached the file. If anyone wants to take up the project, they can. Replace the framework-res file with the one attached. Will not work via update.zip as I haven't set it up to be flashed. It's for XXJPO.
I'm currently trying to skin my phone. Using the latest stable CM6.
I figured out how to customize the jog tags in the lock screen, But can't figure out which one is for the backgorund. If I can't then that's alright I guess. It's the Status bar I really want working.
I'm trying to change that little CM6 icon in the status bar.
But when I photoshop it and put it back in, it stretches the image. But when I check the image the resolution is the same. idk what I'm doing wrong with that.
What I'm doing is finding the little cm6 icon, named "status_bar_close_on_cust.9.png," and simply photoshopping over it, flattening layers and saving. When I put it back in it turns out like the screen shot.
Also, the background for the status bar, "status_bar_background.png."
I copied the custom background from blackslide and photoshopped something over that as well. When I boot that didn't show at all.
EDIT: Figured that one out, didnt' realize there was an image for custom ones.
Just the icon thing I need help with now.
Anyone familiar with this stuff?
Thanks.
(FYI I thought it'd be cool to make a theme for my fraternity. The lock screen is our diamond. I used the phoenix from our crest as the wallpaper.)
Since i dont have the slightest idea how to do this myself...
Is there anyone that would consider slightly changing the Litening 1.0 framework/UI for me?
I like the rom, it works very nicely, just a few things id really like to change with its look.
I really have trouble with reading menus (the ones that appear when phone is doing something or when you press long to get menu for copy, paste, move...) when the text below them is seen through, id also love to have the notification panel that you pull down without the logo in a simple black non-translucent color.
So if you could make version with the menus and those windows non-transparent, make the notification panel also a simple non-transparent black without the logo and if its not too hard maby add the overscoll glow... i know its a long shot asking this just for me, but id be so happy if this could be done and i bet some other users might also like such a mod...

here it is
I know of that one, but all the menus are still transparent, as well as the notification area (it doesnt have the logo which is nice, but its transparent instead). I really cant use transparent windows as it literally makes my head hurt. Thats the thing i need the most, solid menus/windows/notification area like all the other roms have. The circular battery icon from litening id miss if i used that mod, i really like that circular battery icon. So basically just need to get rid of transparency, the rest is pretty much gravy in litening... the overscroll glow would be a nice bonus, but not nearly as important to me.
I know this is a bit off topic now, but is there any way i could get the power savings widget like it was on the Galaxy S (think it used to be called power control and it had just wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync and brightness) with either blue or green lights? Could i get the one from Galaxy S somewhere that would work or has this already been made somewhere maby?
Or another way would be if someone would deodex the stock framework from KE7 for me so it would work in Litening 1.0... or teach me how to do that myself...
That would replace the menus and notification area with the stock one and leave the system menu and battery icon intact right?
Anyone willing to deodex it for me or at least tell me how to do it myself?
What do you want done? Just a black notification pulldown with no transparency? If so, if you upload your SystemUI.apk from your system/app folder I will do it for you.
EDIT: Or don't bother, I see you've just gone offline. If you want it done in the future, send me a PM.
PM sent. 10char.
I am looking for a relatively simple theme for stock ICS, all I want are things like the app circle, (if possible) the google bar at the top, text, and everythingelse possible in ICS Blue/black and if it isn't a pain, have the home screen horizontal scroll bar black with a blue curser like in the app menu. I have tried changing some of the .png files but don't know the location of all the files nor know how to edit .9.png files. It should be easy for anyone with half a brain, maybe time consuming though with all the files to change. If anyone can give me a detailed tutorial (haven't found a really easy-to-follow one yet) or make it for me, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
(This is technically a question, however I think it best fits this section. If this is the wrong section I'll report it to a mod.)
Bump also forgot to add I'm running the newest AOKP (26).
