Hi
I've tried a lot of themes for cm 10.1 nightly but in every one, there is something small that I don't like the look of. Is there any way to edit the theme? Like add or keep features such as status bar battery or icons, etc?
Cheers

There are plenty of tutorials about theming, but generally, the easiest way is to replace images in the drawable folders in zip. If you want to change color or something that's not picture then you have to decompile apk, edit xml-s and recompile and sign.

Is there such an thing? I like how the icons in the status bar look on the motorblur. There isn't any motoblur roms, if therre was it'd be cool, but I just like the icons and the status bar colors and icons? Can any devs out there, make something like that? Thanks

Sound like all you need is a theme, I know ADW launcher has a theme on the market that takes care of that, free too

Holy ****, dude THANK YOU!
Why don't you open up a new thread with the theme also?
U R welcome
U R welcome, I've started new thread few seconds ago. enjoy. BTW it has been tested only on my phone so do a nandroid backup
This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

Kitchen is real easy. Im trying to figure out how to mod the widgets and other apks to match the theme.

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Hi folks. Im using Cyanogenmod 7.2 and i do not like the Notification bar from it.
Can someone explain to me how to replace the Notification Bar in Cyanogenmod 7.2, and where to locate it in the ROM zip file ?
And one more question. Can I somehow use status bar from cyanogenmod 6.1 in cyanogenmod 7.2 ?
sry for my bad english
The statusbar is inside systemui.apk but I wouldn't recommend messing with it that way as you'll break it if you don't know what you're doing. If you just want to replace the images then download some themes from the market or xda and apply them with theme Chooser.

Thanks for the tip.
But is it possible to put the Notification bar from cyanogenmod 6.1 to cyanogenmod 7.2 and to work ?
No, it wont work.
It would be possible to theme cm7 statusbar to look like cm6 but not to use the actual cm6 one as the framework is different.

Thanks man
Many of you like me love the features that other roms give but want the stability and battery life of pure cm10.1 official...but i really like if they give options like aokp to center clock with date and resize navbar...they don't so i edit framework-res.apk to change navbar dpi to 36px...i didnt create a flashable zip so you have to manually replace the file with any root explorer!!
Download RC3
I can add more tweaks if anyone interesting...the least i can do!! feel free to ask and if i can i could add them...
Thx, I'll try it right now.

I've been looking for this for a while. It would be better if we could have transparent status bar and an extra option to change the size of it. It's unconfortable to change all the time the file.
I don't why these functions aren't included in CM10.1
edit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260772
This ROM includes this feature. Maybe I'll switch to it but I do like the offical CMs and updates.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pikachukaki/files/SystemUI.apk/download i add center clock for cm10.1 forgive me that i haven't test it cause im testing rootbox rom now...if anyone having problems i will remake it but test it firstly but i think its ok!!!
Does this mod work on stock also?

Transparent statusbar needs editing jar files and for a rom that have updates every day its a bit dificult to keep up!
Did anyone else use this with todays RC? Didn't work for me, the navbar just completely went away.

While changing which file framework or systemui?
anyway i d/w rc1 even that it isn't official release...i remake the files also i make (try) i never was good on creating flashable zips and i add transparent 100% statusbar check 1st post
The zip worked for me on RC1.
The status bar goes to black or white when going into apps, that's normal though right? I haven't really used that feature before.

Is there a way to get the notification bar when it drops down to be glassy like the new thing that shows up in iOS 7 when u swipe up and it shows some quick settings and stuff? I think it would look better than the dark grey see thru color.
Lots of ROMs let u chose a custom background picture for that, find a picture like that and use it or create one, you can even maker it semi transparent if you like...

I have been through so many roms, I can't remember which one allows you to, try paranoid or a PAC ROM. You can also Cook up your own on the online uot kitchen or pull the file from your phone and edit it.
