Hey guys, I was creating a transparency theme for LeeDrOiD 2.1 and came across a weird problem I havent come across before. I have the notification bar transparent on the lockscreen, and when using a live wallpaper, but as soon as I choose a standard wallpaper (either through gallery or wallpaper chooser) the transparent notification bar is no longer transparent, but a solid black. I've edited the "statusbar_background" and 3 "status_bar_" png's in framework-res.apk, and pushed it via ADB in recovery.... everything else seems to work fine cept the black notification bar bug when using a regular WP.. Anyone have any idea's?
Hey Everyone,
I successfully used UOT Kitchen to change battery icon, status bar text color, change the default font on my phone, change pop-up colors, make my drop down notification black and semi-transparent.
However, the one thing that doesn't work is the text on the notification pull down bar is black which is of course unreadable on a black semi-transparent background.
I changed it in UOT Kitchen to Blue. Then I tried doing it over again and changed it to Orange. The end result is still black.
Any help would be appreciated.

Next time please post this questions in the Q/A area:
But from what you are saying the test for "ongoing" notifications are staying black right? like music and things of that nature??? that is because the texts is stored in there own apk. so if you want to change the color of the text you will need to take apart the apk for each app that uses the "ongoing" notification area.
I think I got it
First off, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Thanks for answering and not kicking me out! It won't happen again.
So basically, since the HTC Inc is supposed to have a white pull down notification, most apps make their text black and it would have to be changed in each app (text messaging, google voice texts, etc).
I did run the app Cache Cleaner which posts its results in the notification and they surprisingly showed up in the color (blue) that I had chosen in UOT. But nothing else has, so I guess I just need to change my background color to white or something that works with black text.
Thanks,

No worries on the kick. i dont flame.
The notifications are broken down into 2 groups. "ongoing" and "notification". If its a notification that is controlled by the framework-res.apk it will be themed from the UOT most market apk and gapps use the ongoing section so they are held within there respected apk. the only way around it is to do what you said. have a white bg or if you go and change each apk. sorry. :/
guys i used the UOT kitchen, could i replace the mod'd framework-res.apk by jus using the root explorer?? i mean paste it in the system folder den set permissions n then move it to the system/framework/ folder??
Had this issue to. Tried everything to change the text color with no luck. I finally gave up and settled for a transparent white pulldown. It dosent look to bad but is a bit of a contrast from my mostly black transparent theme.
I used Rom tool box to change the color of my status bar icons (individually different colors), but the new icon colors are reverted back to stock blue when I go to my home screen. I think that paranoid hybrid (per app) settings are somehow messing with this, but I can't figure out how to get them to stop and leave the rom tool box settings alone when on the home screen (trebuchet). I'm not really sure whats happening because I also have the status bar background set to transparent (in trebuchet), and it seem to randomly revert back to black every once in awhile.

I figured it out, kinda. You can't really mix and match status bar icon colors from both hybrid settings and rom toolbox. You have to go with one or the other....just in case someone else runs into this problem
My hover notifications suddenly got a transparent background. I haven't changed any setting related to it. Any clue as to which kind of tweaks could have affected it?
When I try to manually set the color back to where it was it doesn't change anything, it stays transparent no matter which color I set.
How are you changing colors on a feature that has no settings? Are you using a theme?

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
