You're not alone. I like that CM7 has that feature, but sometimes it's very buggy I guess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does.

I have never been able to get this to work, and I have even increased the LCD density to ridiculous levels just to have a larger bar to swipe on.

OK, at least I know it's not just me. I even tried tuning off status bar dead area thinking it might be that.
Any alternatives for changing brightness on the fly?

yeah, the status bar brightness doesn't really work vary well for me ether. I had to add a brightness toggle power widget to the notification bar. brightness mode at auto / dim / 25% /50% / 75% / 100%

There's a really great app developed specifically for CM7 on the Nook called RecentPlus over in the themes and apps forum. It replaces your long press home with a recent apps dialog that contains recent apps, plus brightness and volume sliders.

Recent plus fits the job rather nicely, thanks for the suggestion.
Wish is defaulted to brightness slider instead of volume, or remembered your last choice... But now I'm nit picking.

Hit the settings button once you're in the app and those options are available

Good battery mod for cm7?

Anyone have any good battery icons for cm7? I've been looking and haven't seen anything yet.

There are paid apps in the market (like Smart Battery). I believe Battery Left can change the icon and themes as well (not sure on this). I just change the setting to show the percentage icon (under CM7 settings -> interface -> status bar tweaks). That's what matters to me the most.

Gotcha.
Thanks for the input!

Rearrange Status Bar Icons

The thread says it all really; is it possible to rearrange the icons on the status bar? So for example, can I move the network symbol to the far left, the clock to the centre, etc?

Possible? Yes. With some XML magic. But ive never seen anyone rearrange anything except for the clock.

You can place the time at the center

If you are looking to make the status bar green, you can use a XPosed app called Tinted Status Bar.
It'll let you set the status bar color on a per app basis.
You must be rooted.
