Does anyone know how to modify the transparency of the notification bar header? I've tried editing drawables.xml but no luck and I cant seem to find a png linked to it. Any ideas? I've only had this problem on BAMF ROM. I've uploaded the theme chooser apk im using if someone wants to take a look.
Thanks
In the pic below it looks fully opaque, but it's not.

You need to compile the systemUI.apk from ROM source.

It should some what be the same.
notification_header_bg.9 is not included as a themed item in that apk you provided. To add it you would need to decompile the bamf apk add in edited image and add appropriate lines to the systemUI xml and recompile and sign. You know though if you make it trans it's gonna look pretty funny with all that crap overlaying.
good day.

Haha thanks man, I cant believe I didn't find that png. That's all i needed. It's strange because with other themes I've only needed to change the color in the drawable.xml, there was no png. Right now it's transparent and looks like crap on my phone with purple tint. I'm changing it to be fully opaque.

Hello Friends,
This is a theme I made for myself. Thought I should share.
Change log (wrt CodeRom.V2X-2B's stock theme). Please refer to screen shots to get better idea
- Changed most colors to Blue
- Changes to lock screen icons
- Blue Battery with %
- Changed status bar icons to Blue
- Notification panel is translucent
- Changed color of notifications in notification panel to translucent Blue
- Busy circle color to Blue
- More I cant remember.
How to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- mount /system
- Flash the attached zip
Tested on CodeRom.V2X-2B.
For those who are on different baseband or some other rom, just extract settings.uot from the attached zip and load in UOT Kitchen. Then upload systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from your rom and get the zip package for this theme.
Hit thanks if you like the theme.
Peace

for your theme it's not a png ...you got to change the xlm (systemui.apk) and the name is :
systemui/res/layout/status_bar.xml
SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png

open the status_bar.xml
PHP:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
look at this
PHP:
android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"
find it on " Drawable-HDPI" folder
statusbar_background.png
or
statusbar_background.9.png

Try This..!!
I know its not a mod for the stock dialer but I use dialer one with a transparent background. Nice dialer as well But it is transparent and not semi transparent although maybe a semi transparent background chosen for the dialer might work
Look here. It's at 10% percent opacity, but i can make it less transparent if wanted.
In Kitchen Pro app, there is one Transparent Dialer.

Here's a thread for people to ask and hopefully get answers from people as to where certain images are located. I thought this would be very useful for people who are learning how to theme and/or having trouble finding what images change what. I will try and update the OP with all the new images that are posted and answered, and a picture would also help very much when asking for a certain how to change a certain image.

There's about 12 images in framework-res call divider_horizontal and divider_vertical.
Anyone know about the grey area in the second picture that the arrow is pointing too?

Just a simple mod that will keep the clock in the pull down present no matter the clock option you chose, including hide clock. Nothing else is included or changed.

Hi, stupid question. How did you manage the change the battery png's? I tried but can not find the location of the 204 png's in the SystemUI.apk
Thanks
I´m sure he flashed a theme for theme chooser.
But normally you´ll find the png´s in /rey/drawable xhdpi folder

Hello Lichti, I also already followed your MOD's; nice jobs you did.
I know that I can find the png's in the xhdpi folder but in the case of CM ROM's not. I managed to use a Battery_Mod tool from the command line but the size was not ok. On AndroidME, I just pasted the pictures I liked. I also need to mod the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml's..... and can't on Ubuntu....
Updated. Please stay on topic, thanks.
