[Q] Notification Bar color change.

I'm looking for an easy way to change the background color of the notification. I do NOT want to change any icons, notifications, fonts, pulldown menu or anything else. I downloaded a theme that I like other than the notification bar color which makes it difficult to read some icons. Also a focus on the easy way is perfered and I'm not into modification that requires me to edit .zip files.
Thanks in advance for the help.

That's what theme I've got now and I like it other than the Notification Bar color and pattern, should be black or transparent.
While you are in there changing the color of the Notification Bar wanna change another thing while in there? The status bar is green, like when changing volume, loading web sites, downloading progress, ect..., and previously I had a theme that had those blue.

thanx for givin me the opportunity to help the community...
so you want dog gone blues to have a trans or black taskbar & to fix the progress bars to be blue again??? if thats all ill have that done in a couple hrs or less... i could do it faster but im in the middle of makin a requested theme

Yep, that's what I'm lookin for.
Thanks for doing that for me. I haven't gotten that far into MODing my Epic where I make changes or even start from scratch on making themes or other modifications. I got the Samsung Epic days after my son was born so to sit down on a PC and work on this kinda stuff is difficult. I will get into it more probably once the Epic Touch comes out as my son will be old enough to entertain himself while I do this kinda stuff myself.
Thanks again.

ok cool but for what theme... lol pd ani's hafta be themed to whatever theme it will be used for bc the add on itself is only available in stock froyo or gb
unless the theme your using has it baked in then all i gotta do is pull the images from the 1 theme change em white & put em on the other theme, instead of completely re-theming the pd ani add on to what theme your on & all the above
both dont take that long changing the animation's images takes the longest i just need to kno where to start

The same one you made me the last one from but with the honeycomb animation in white. I can post a link for whatever you need ie the blue pulldown ani or the one you made me for th White Shadow theme

Thanks, looks exactly like what I was asking for. Its greatly appreciated that you could do those changes, esp in such a short turn around time.
But... (of course there is always a but) some other things.
Can you get rid of that blue checkerboard pattern that you got rid of in the Notification Bar through out the entire Theme? Messing around with it I noticed that it has that pattern in the apps if you bring up the menu. Really just anywhere that checkerboard blue/black pattern is can just go away as it is annoying and ugly.
Another thing, when in the menu of the Browser and Calendar, if More is selected the background color is dark navy blue and the short cut font color is a real dark grey meaning you can not read it since they are so close in color. So far I have only noticed it in the Browser and Calendar app but guessin that its also elsewhere that I have not came across yet. Can you fix that? Just make it blue instead of navy blue or black or whatever you think would look good.
Last few things, just take out that Shutdown animation as I use the Helix Boot and Shutdown animations. Also remove the font that comes with it so it does not install a new one. Last remove the Calculator app as it has that ugly checkerboard blue/black pattern in it also. All these last things to remove are easy fixes for me to just install over them so not as big of deal but while in there modifying the .zip I thought I would ask.
Thats all I've got. I know its a lot but if ya get to it great, if not I understand, no hurry if you do.
Thanks again for doing what I asked for the first time, and so quickly, but we are all the same, we want our phones just the right way. Then after we get it there we either get sick of it or we jack something up and decided to start from scratch again. Its never ending...

Greenmuggy,
Another thing on a seperate subject. A while ago I made a post asking about this but no one was able to help me. I'm wondering about the Stock Calendar App, really its the Fascinate Stock Calendar App as I like the way it shows upcoming events without entering each date like the Epic Stock Calendar App, if there is a way to add "Saturday" to the First Day of Week setting. It has Sunday and Monday as current options but my actual work week starts on Saturday which is not an option. Just wondering if you had seen way to add this to the Fascinate Stock Calendar App. Its just another one of those minor annoyances that are out there.

Don't worry about adding in Apps, just take those out so it does not overwrite what I already have installed.

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color

Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.

Android's GUI Identity Crisis

Been playing with Jelly Bean for a couple of days now, and can't help feel that it's almost got a split personality when it comes to the graphics..
Some of the Android menus are the ICS style black and neon blue, but there are more and more screens creeping in with the new Google style white / grey look
Do you think Android's going to move more to having a consistent white / grey look as it gets developed? Or are we going to be left with mixed system themes for a while?

They introduced the new Intent Action launcher (the white one, 1st screen) to avoid the data tapping Apple's patent. However I like the Holo Light theme, I think that Google is playing with Light and Dark theme not to bore the users.

Holo Light and Holo Dark both follow Android Design Guidelines.

The Nexus 7 uses an IPS screen, which does whites well but blacks can look not as good as on AMOLED screens.
That may be another reason for more white. Im not a fan but I see the need for comprimise. I wish we could toggle the theme between light ahd dark Holo in Google apps, though.

I'm also no fan of the mixed themes. I really always think how cheap it looks when it switches colors. I think the system should have a switch for either everything black or everything white. I'm missing the feeling that I'm on a professional system when it comes to software ui.
On the other hand it totally sucks that even bigger developers like tapatalk for example just don't follow these rules... So many NEW apps just look ugly... Hope this will change sooner or later...

Messaging and contacts had the same white theme in ICS, so this style isn't new to JB. It is kind of a design clash, but not one I find very annoying as they do work together.

You're right about the messaging app. This works for me too. But the contacts has the blue bar at top and overall blue lines which makes it look totally different....

Your right some kind of theme selection would be nice. I'm guessing they went from more black to more white because their launch device went from a amoled screen to an lcd. A bummer for battery life on the Gnex. The good news is cm and aokp should have the theme manager integrated at some point.

But it sure would be nice of google to give us more choice on the front end, a dark, light and maybe blue and red toggle theme switch would be so freaking awesome and make the "unique" apple homescreens just look even more ridiculous.

Maybe so, but it still looks inconsistent.
I would've thought it would make more sense for all system screens to be one theme or the other rather than mixing them.
Surely it wouldn't be too hard to program it so the user could select a dark or light theme then have it applied across the whole system?

Maybe it would be more uniform, but not much flavor. I agree, I do like holo dark, and sometimes wish it could be applied system wide (which is why I install themes and inverted gapps) but I think this way it gives developers more options as to how to design their apps, because some might like it lighter or darker.

[Request]White JB AOKP Theme :)

Hey guys, I've been looking for a while for a nice white theme for my white SGS3...no luck so far.
When I say a white theme, I dont mean black with white text, I mean white with black or blue or purple text.
An amazing example would be from the Samsung S2x, Master & Slave has a rom called Tuesday with an incredible white theme to it.
Is it possible to port this with the authors permission? Does anyone have a similar theme?

im looking for the same, please let me know if you find a complete white theme. Until then, i found that this rom looked very close to what i was looking for. Many areas of the theme can be tweaked as well to your liking.

White theme for CM 10.2?

I really need a theme for CM to make the icons in the status bar not that ugly cyan color... So sick of it and would love a minimal theme to change the status bar icons to white and the whole theme of the phone to white because I hate that cyan color. Please help me find one? I remember seeing on a while back before installing CM and there was a blue and white one and it looked amazing but unfortunately I forgot the name of that theme. Any help much appreciated! OH and how do I install a theme?

For white icons I highly recommend Black Infinitum, there is a free version in the store. For a white theme, try Frost by sonny. I really like that

Install Xposed framework and a module called Xblast Tools. It allows you to tint the statusbar icons to what ever color you want.

BLACK INFINITUM! It was that one, cheers man, appreciate it heaps. I love it! Do I need any cm theme installer to use it?

You have a CM rom right? In that case just install from the market or apk then go to 'themes' in settings and apply it.
