Hi Guys/Gals,
Very long time since I posted here and it's good to be back.
I've done what feels like plenty of searching and can't find an answer, soooooo
Have we a way to change the colour of the status bar icons ? I have a dark wallpaper and the icons disappear in to it.
When I was last active we were using 3minit framework, and from the searching I've done they seemed to have ceased production.
If I've missed anything in my searching just give me a bridge and point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I use nova launcher, since my S3, it has the option to make status bar transparent or solid, and light or dark icons, I find it very useful for situations like you describe

3 minit framework still exist on rooted custom roms. You're out of luck unless you are rooted.
Cheers Pal,
I'll look into getting it done

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.
I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize for doing it again, but I couldn't really find anything helpful. I want to change the status bar icons without having to use LP, ADW, UOT kitchen, etc. to the icons that the Captivate (AT&T) and a few other Samsung devices have. I'm fairly certain this would be possible, but I'm not sure where to start, and every thread I've looked at isn't much help, so if anyone here could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!
I'll keep this short if I can. I am making a theme for DeWizzed, and I am NEARLY done and ready to show it off, but I cannot for the life of me get the clock color to change. I have edited every XML I could think of in the SystemUI.apk AND the framework-res.apk. I thought in Gingerbread it was mearly changing/adding a line in the status_bar.xml inside the SystemUI.apk but that won't do it.
The clock is currently white, and I have managed to change EVERY color in the status bar text currently. I've looked in styles.xml, color.xml, etc. Nothing does it.
If anyone could help I'd GREATLY appreciate it. To give a tiny hint, everyone has been asking for an Orange theme This is 100% from scratch, and I am excited to share once I figure this out.
Thank you guys, been a long time member, and I am now finally posting, because no amount of searching has dug up an answer for me.

Way wrong place for this...
That said i advised building his framework/systemui over again, and changing the clock color before doing his center clock mods... If he has done that and its still not working let me know, and i will jump in and build it to assist...

I was just trying to grab the attention of someone like you and hoping you would just reply here
Thanks for the reply, but as far as what I've done so far that doesn't seem to work...
I've followed this tutorial to the "T" and it doesn't work for me.
http://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/become-a-themer
I successfully changed the date color, notification text colors, just the clock color aludes me. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong?? I'm not trying to cernter the clock, just FYI, and I'm on the SGH-I727 with SkyICS by Sean. Even tried the UOT kitchen and it will not work either.
Help or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Im in the same boat, i spent about four hours tonight doing it over and over and over, and it will just not stick. I dont understand what is going on.
I just found out to make it stick you must put the color string right after the style in the xml, if you put it before the style it won't work
Don't know of gingerbread, but in my froyo it was in /system/framework/services.jar file...so give it a try.
If the systemui is juggs based these its hard coded white to work with the tweaks app i believe.

I'm on CyanogenMod 10.
I'm trying to theme around but I never really messed around with the status bar and the standard blue icons kind of annoy me, does anyone know how I can either change the color or just change the icons completely?

Download themes from market, search Google/xda for cm10 themes, have a look in Android themes section theres many options but you would prob get an answer if your question was asked in the questions and answers section mate

Hello. I hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Xperia Z went bust after two years of faithful service and yesterday I took a risk and picked up the Huawei P8lite. The phone is absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some issues with Nova Launcher.
First off, the soft keys and notification bar aren't transparent. They are when I use the stock launcher (so the device is obviously capable of doing so), and they were on my Xperia Z using Nova Launcher. Non-transparent soft keys and notification bar makes the screen look smaller and cluttered, which utterly spoils the overall experience.
Is there a way around this? If I root the phone, can this be fixed? I have never rooted a device before so if this helps, where can I find the run-down on rooting?
Second, changing icons. When I try to change an icon on the homescreen (again, with Nova Launcher) only a handful of icons from the icon pack shows up on the list. There are clear gaps in the list where a bunch of icons should be.
Again, these were both non-issues on my Xperia Z.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these things? For the icons I realize I can use an app like Icon Changer, but with Nova Launcher I shouldn't have to. And as for the soft key and notification bar I realize I can hide them entirely, but I don't want to do that. I just want them to be transparent.
I greatly appreciate any help. I'm on Android 5.0, and I can post screenshots if needed.
Okay, so the phone got an update the other day and that fixed the problem with the icons.
However, the soft keys (and less importantly, the notification bar) still aren't transparent. Does anyone know what to do about this?
You know you live in the first world when this drives you insane
try different themes if that helps !!

In Settings go to the navigation control and it should be to the left on the switch. Move it to the right. Not only did that make the Nav bar clear, but also allows me to hide it.
Hope it helps.
