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.

Basically, I've been using AuraxTSense for a long time now, and once Neo started to implement the Transparent Theme, so I've been sticking with older versions just because I'm not happy with the Transparent Theme. I've now bit the bullet and updated to the latest version, but now there's something I want.
Android Stock has some nice icons, and I'm really not keen on the HTC Notification Bar Icons, I want the icons from stock (like Neo has done in the past, and continues to do) but I have no idea how to do it. I've opened up the framework-res.apk with winzip, browsed in there, found different images etc in there, but I don't know which ones to change.
I hope someone understands what I'm saying!

Sup guys.
I'd like to introduce you a new theme made by FrAndroid's Lambert, a mix of several styles, like MIUI, Honeycomb, Gingerbread, and HTC Sense.
Please be forgiving, it's his first theme, and might contain several bugs, which I invite you to post in this topic.
Theme modifications:
-3.0 Popup style, with blue glow effect
-Transparent notification bar
-Green volume bar, HTC style
-New switch buttons in notification menu, iPhone-like
/!\ - THIS THEME MIGHT CONTAIN BUGS. I, OR LAMBERT, CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DISFUNCTIONMENT CAUSED BY THIS THEME. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
- THIS THEME WAS TESTED ON DARKY'S JPY VERSION. IT MIGHT NOT FULLY WORK ON OTHER VERSIONS, POST HERE IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH IT
Some screens:
Have a try, and let me know what you think about it
Download Link
The glow effect is very beautiful!
But when you pull down the notification bar there is a bug in the date
What bug? I personnaly am on CM7, so I can't try it
You can see it from the screen
I don't see any bug
Very nice!
Not everything is themed yet but I like what you did with it
needs more work...
For those who speak French, I invite you to have a look here: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/45467-theme-theme-glow-by-lambert/
I really like this theme. I hope you'll try not to make it too much of a mix though! It'll look inconsistent. Personally I'd mostly leave out Sense and make it a Gingerbread OR Honeycomb + MIUI look.
Also, it says "Darkys ROM" on the power-menu.. But I'm on Doc's, and it didn't say anything before. So..yeah. Might want to take that out.
Also, this issue also probably carried over from darky's, if you look at the first screenshot, "Rotation auto" is cut off.
Thanks for replying. I told him about all this, waiting for an answer
Hi I was wondering if it is possible to change the font, clock, and other icon color in the tool bar to blue like the new ice cream sandwich, I see there is other forums about color changing but not sure if it would work on the wildfire s. My phone is S-off and rooted, just looking for a step by step way so in the future I can no how to do it. All help is appreciated thanks!
also I looked on uot kitchen and its confusing to me (im a noob), im looking for cyanogen icons, task bar etc or ice cream sandwich thanks!
Wait some time, next week I will make mods for sense and cm7 roms, with custom status bar and stuff like that
See signature for my thread.
I won't give you instructions, just too much to explain.
If you just want to change background to blue, I can do it quickly for you. Just send me a pm. For other icons (battery), it will take lots of time.
Stay tuned.
ok Thanks! yes all i want to change is the clock color ice cream or cyan blue, but the background can stay htc black gloss. also the 3g and other icons on the status bar to cyan
You want other icons: I need some time for that.
I will add icons for miui/ICS status bar.
Think that most people want that.
But wait a bit, I'm student and have exams soon.
I say it again check my thread.
Good thing, tomorrow s-off
Is it hard to change the status bar color icons?
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
I suppose you want it on sense rom?
It depends what you want to be changed.
I will maybe (I say maybe!!) make some visual tweaks for sense roms.
I like cm7 more and I can finally test some things now.
Today I've managed to customize the looks of the cm7 camera a bit.
If I succeed further I will make more tweaks.
But yeah, I'm student, I've got exams and its my last year for studying so this is only some kind of hobby.
Yes sense ROM, wildfire s, i went on uot kitchen but im so confusedd of how to make it work, I had a layout of cyanogen color icons in the task bar and some other miss but I'm lost after that. Hahaha I'm a newb but I wanna learn how to do this so in the future I can do it myself and help new people like me
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
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

I am not sure if this is in the right spot but it said Q&A so thinking its a good place to start. I am looking to find out if I can change the status bar icons to be colors. I amd running [JB:CM10:HYBRID][OFFICIAL]ParanoidAndroid 2.55 for T989[18 Nov 2012] (Love it btw) so I guess the best way to word this is I use go sms pro for txting and the icon that comes up when I get a txt is a very nice noticable green color and I know I have a txt in a quick glance, I also have the facebook app and when I get a notice from facebook its a white and so are my mail and all the other icons so it is hard tell the diffrents between them. so I was wonding if there was a way to change this or if there is a mod for it. if anyone needs more info I am happy to post it. Thank you
If you would like to modify some of the notification bar icons you would have to modify some images in the system framework of your phone which would be difficult if it's your first time.
The easier way to change them, is that since you're using a CM10 ROM you can try out some CM10 Themes from the Play Store. Click here to view all of the available themes.
All the themes will help you change the overall look of your phone, that includes the notification icons. You will just need to apply the themes with the Theme Chooser application. Cheers!
