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">

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

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.

i need a status bar !
My phone use to be rooted but when unrooting it i accidentally deleted the systemui.apk , is there anyway to get it back without rooting it again ? i tried downloading it & moving it to system/app but everytime i try it says "cannot be moved"
Hey xda,
I'm on 4.1.2 at this point, but 3.0 was my favorite update as far as aesthetics goes. I really like the Honeycomb fonts, colors and icons. My question is this: How do I change just the status bar clock to the original HC font while still on JB?
I have tried changing: (found at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937802)
AndroidClock.ttf
AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf
AndroidClock_Solid.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
and they didn't work. AndroidClock and the related files represent the lock screen click, and when I changed Clockopia, nothing happened. Is the font for the status bar clock in framework or SystemUI?
Thanks guys, keep rockin!
Just so you know, the Honeycomb time font for the lock screen had a solid and highlight part, which needed two layers. You'll only be able to use "AndroidClock.ttf" I think, since it's the "full" version. Not quite exact but close enough.
yeah, the clockopia one is blended and complete. do you know which font represents the status bar clock so I'll be able to change it?
Thanks for the reply.

Thread closed, problem fixed.
I want to change the color of UI bars, for example the bar that appears when I adjust the volume or RAM usage bar in task manager. I want to edit the necesary files, but I don't know how to do. I think I have to edit a xml file and find the color in hex code and change it... right?
Someone helps?

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...
LG Nexus 4: CrDroid Build 23

... 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.

I totally don't want to look like an asshole, but there are several threads including this one to give your 6P a Pixel look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/flashable-zip-night-light-round-icons-t3486794
I mean, ofcourse if you want to do that all by yourself, there are several ways including this one http://androidforums.com/threads/gu...mpile-and-recompile-apks-with-apktool.520917/
Edit: animated nav bar won't work for now. The process seems to be complicated to port it over. Give the real developers some time, buy them beer.. or ofcourse try it yourself

Here you go.
It includes codes for:
1) Number of QS Columns
2) Navbar Tuner
3) Night Light
4) Navbar Height
5) Dynamic Navbar Colors
There are a few I'm still searching for if anyone can post them here that would be great.
Looking for:
1) Blue UI Accent Colors
2) Colorless Battery Saver (no orange)
3) Center Clock/Left Clock/Date (for status bar)
4) Bright Light Toggle (in system ui tuner)
5) Double Tap 2 Wake (In display settings)
