transparent status bar - Hero CDMA General

Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help

the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.

I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it
BANG! from my shooter...

I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

isnt that what ZduneX25's Theme Patch is for, which is supported by the gingerbreadEx theme?

Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though

To get transparency decompile SystemUI.apk
and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
and change the value to #77000000
and dont forget THANX if u liked....

but how to transparent the top bar?

First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.

You gotta rip apart the framework-res.apk and edit an xml file in it. then repack and resign (i think). The problem is findint the value to change.
How did you change the color of the statusbar? I also want the white status bar!
I pulled framework-res.apk with adb and then changed the statusbar background with photoshop.. I will make a theme when I have figured how to change the color of the clock date and other things in the statusbar

tried that, StatusBarIcon.smali doesnt look the same in the wildfire as in the one who wrote the guide ones
will do my best to come up with something im going nuts over here trying to find something that work
I made a transparent bar for wildfire.The problem is that metamorph theme i created doesn't work.I want to try and replace myself framework-res.apk,but i am not sure with the apk signing thing.How did you replaced your framework-res.apk?
just push the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ folder on the phone
should look something like this when you are using adb:
adb push c:/_folder_to_new_apk_no_spaces/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

OpenDesire isn't a Sense ROM. So I don't know where you're going with this one..
There are some themes here and there - But I guess the Sense HD ROM is the way to go if you want to theme everything.
Yes, but I want my Sense UI to look like OpenDesire(colors are white) and i also seen some themes for sense ui with white bars but they were wrong for me(I installed them and cant load) Can anybody advise suitable theme?
can't you change the statusbar in framework-res.apk? or in htc.resources.apk?
May be I can but I dont know how)
And will it also change bottom bar?
I have found Expresso-Theme for Sense but it's black too. Is there any white theme???
In the Kitchen theme here in this forum, you can customise almost evrything like %batery, icons, notification bar colors and type, etc, etc.
May be we are talking about different kitchens but i used one and recived white fantastic top bar and black bottm bar. it was awful
So your is different can you give me a link

The link is :h**p://circle.glx.nl/
In this new version you can customise the top and de bottom bar in the cianogen style.
Try and see for yourself
And sorry for my bad english...
I can't found((( Do you get clear that bottom bar is bar where buttons "Phone" "Open Menu" and "Add" located? If yes can you describe way to change it more detale?
Sorry, my mistake
I was talking about the pull down bar.
Use UOT Kitchen to bake a new Framework to flash and just follow instructions. Should be easy. and you can mod anything you want.
Hope this helps alot!
What instructions should I follow)? I noobish, sorry

I can't find those pngs, In framerok-res.apk I find progrees bar pngs, for example the bar that appears when you are downloading an app, but I can't find "static" bars, like brightness slider bar or volume control.
I want to change the color of mentioned bars, not progress bars.
They are a 1x1. 9.png like title_bar.9.png
Sent un Samsung Galaxia S Quatro LTE
also, editing the styles.xml can change the progress bars height.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
It is progress_primary_holo_light.9.png
I told you that they are same, progress bar and slider
I have changed all framework pngs many times and the brightness slider and volume control bar always have the same color.
try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32092724&postcount=2
no. 9 guide
I've tried that personally and works!
SOLUTION: Edit progress_horizontal xml in res/drawable in framework-res.apk
THANKS TO ALL!!!

I haven't used the Black Infinitium theme in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't change the stock icon shape, it just changes the the color... well... to white.
Unless you're referring to the default battery icon it comes with, which is definitely un-stock-like (is that even a word? ). However, that can easily be fixed. Assuming you're using the ROM you have listed in your signature...

... You should have the ability to switch the battery style. I can't test this, as I don't own a Nexus 4 and have never used CrDroid, but according to the ROM's OP, it has the ability to switch the battery style to percentage text and battery icon... So I'll assume it does. Thus, if that's truly the case, all you got to do is apply the Black Infinitium theme, go into your settings, change your battery style to battery icon (or experiment with whatever other battery style options CrDroid offers) until you find the stock-like white battery icon. I know when I rocked AOKP and the Black Infitium theme, I could do just that. Hopefully your ROM can do the same. :good:
Anyways, let me know how it goes. Hopefully you get what you're looking for.

Thanks but it changes more than the status bar icons e.g. volume seeker and gives the phone a more darker look leaving it stock background colour
I got the white status bar icons needed but cant make a theme
Seriously, I have searched high and low for a LONG time, back to when I was running CM 9 and 10 on my Nexus S 4G for a theme that ONLY changes the status bar icons to white and have still came up with nothing. I feel like that'd be something in high demand and easy to find but I guess not. I mean, even changing the overscroll glow and highlighting would be nice. I've considered learning how to theme just do make one lol. If anyone could help us out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it's the media folder. The exact path is /system/media.
@fahadsul3man; Be sure the animation .zip is called bootanimation.zip and has the following permissions: rw-r--r--. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. A suggestion, be sure to make a backup of your original bootanimation.zip in case you ever wish to revert back; this can be done by adding the extension .bak to the end of the bootanimation.zip.

[Q] [Lollipop][5.0] How to change status bar icon alpha level?

I'm trying to modify the alpha level of status bar icons, but I can't seem to figure out what to change. In the past I've done this by setting status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha to 100% in SystemUI/res/values/dimens.xml, but that no longer seems to have an effect. I have seen references to tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha, but that does not exist in the SystemUI.xml for Lollipop.
Does anyone know how I can successfully change the alpha level of status bar icons?

in kitkat it was a color with a hex-value alpha ... like #60000000 .... so the 2 digits after the "#" is the degree of trancparency in hex

You're talking about in colors.xml? If so I did a find and replace for everything #\d\d -> #ff so everything in colors.xml was completely opaque, but it still didn't chance the status bar icons :-\

i don't undertand why ?

Thank for you attentions,

I don't remember off the top of my head if the status bar icons are regular png/pkm/wbp files or vector drawables, but either way it's easy to change them...If they're vectors, find the xml defining the vector and change the fillColor. If they're png/wbp/pkms, find the layout(s) calling them, and adjust color and alpha with android:tint and android:alpha, respectively....
FOUND !
Go to systemui\res\values\dimens.xml
find this line :
<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">
Click to expand...

change the "7x.0%" to "100.0%" :good:
