Im just curious as to how to get the coloured icons in the notification area....only the standard ones like wifi signal, phone signal and data etc....as i have flashed many gingerbread roms and was hoping they would change but they still stay stock white/grey (except battery which changed to new gingerbread one
google search uot kitchen
thanks for reply.....but am i being stupid because i cant find where it will replace wifi icon and phone signal....just giving me options for battery , status bar colour and boot splash etc....is there not a more straight forward way of changing wifi signal icon to green like gingerbread...thanks
Check app and theme section. There are many different themes you can apply that will give you the look you need.
Just read carefully as most are ROM specific.

the second page after you change the battery, it asks you what kind of status bar icons you want ..... you get a choice of icons for a black status bar, or ones for a white status bar

yeah it should do, if not just do a nandroid before you flash, any issues and you can just restore
right just checked the contents of my drawable hdpi folder to find that i have green coloured icon pngs but still have no green coloured wifi icon....or signal icon.....does anyone know why these aren't changing even though im flashing custom roms with these files within.?
I've seen this done on rootz wiki but they stopped updating it past aokp b23 any chance anyone could create a transparent navigation bar background for aokp b32? Now that apex has the option to delete shadows it seems like all that would have to be done is delete the navigation bar background, but I don't know how to do this.
yeah i keep seeing themes all around with either transparent or different colored navbar backgrounds. Would definitely love to be able to change this. I have a feeling lots of people would like to have the option.

Every time I've tried the transparent nav bar it was horribly ugly. When you click on the nav bar the glow happens and never goes away and leaves ablue glow on it that looks terrible. That's probably why they stopped doing it

Trans nav bar causes horrible ui lag.

Hey guys, I know I might be a little picky, but here is my question.
In Jelly bean, the notification bar disappears when you drop down the notification center which only displays the date/settings option and ofcourse the notifications you might have. Notification bar works just fine on the lock screen and mainscreen, however, my theme does not permit me to make it visible on the mainscreen. This was not a problem on ICS, as the notification bar showed up just fine even with the notification center dropped down.
Is there a solution to this? I would really like to see my notification bar with my drop down center at the same time.
not to be nit picky, but notification center is the iOS copy of the notification panel from android.
Anyways, yes, it does make your notificaiton bar disappear, which is annoying since you dont see your signal, battery level, etc. I havent see anyway around this yet.

Where did iOS randomly come from? lol.
But yes, now we are unable to see signal, battery % etc from the notification drop down.

How are you able to get the notification panel to work on the lockscreen?

Right now my phone is not locked, that's why. But that is not the point, regardless of that I can still see my notification bar (signal/battery etc), I just want that notification bar to be shown when you have your notification center dropped down (this was normal on ICS, but they removed it in JB)

No one knows if there is a fix D:!?

Why does it need to be fixed? You can't live without battery or signal bars for few seconds?
well its a simple reason why they did this. with the notifications pulled down, you don't need to be looking at the top bar because all the notifications are in front of you anyway. and the date and time is also visible in the new notification shade as a bigger font.

What is the point of using Android then, if you cannot customize it to your own personal preference? I just want it to be more convenient. Especially since the only time I can see my notification bar is on the lock screen.....

Well it's not like its going to cause a huge problem if they left the bar as it was in ICS and every other android OS..... I don't particularly care about the date and time, I just want the wifi/3g signals to be clearly visible with other graphic notifications which don't show up in the notification panel drop down.
If u look closely the notification tray actually drops down and on top of the status bar and is partially transparent on the bottom half of the header.. so I think the answer is yes, in time maybe someone will do a fully transparent status bar header(hopefully getting rid of the second clock for my ocdness). Or something...

Yeah I just hope some one has a fix for this soon. I didn't see any reason for them to remove it in the first place.
I did not notice this until you pointed it out... How long do you stay with your notification bar down?

If you read the previous comments, you would see that I have a custom theme, requiring me to drop my notification bar down just to look at it... Or go to lock screen, which is extremely irritating whenever I want to see that useful info on my bar.
Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, and I understand that. If I knew how to fix this myself, I would but alas I am a noob who is still trying to learn the way of Android

There might be a setting, Expanded Desktop! Turn it off!!!
If you use two fingers to pull the status bar, you can see the remaining battery and the signal at least

I've been trying to apply an icon pack to the status bar for a few days now, and every icon updates except for the WiFi icon... I still get the old white JB icon with the arrows (see attached screengrab). I clean flashed from another Sense ROM, and this has been bugging me ever since.
Any input appreciated... Thanks!

Go under Settings->Venom Tweaks->Misc and turn off "Display WiFi Activity" The WiFi icon cannot be themed with that on.

That was it - you rock!
The setting was already actually set to "off" but I toggled it on then off again and the icon changed to the icon pack. Magic.
Thanks!
Hey guys, in the messaging app and settings screen the top status bar does not change to the right color... It may be the theme but I wanted to see if you guys knew why this was happening.
Works fine for me

I tried another theme and it seems fine... I think it has to do with the gradients in the k white theme
