I had a hard time finding a theme I wanted and didn't have the time to make my own, all I was wanting was a special status bar that was partially transparent. So heres what its come down to, I used the KewlGrey Theme and mixed it with the Stock DE03 Theme. Added in KewlGrey Status Bar, Status Backround, Different Font, and last but not least the Color of the Notification when you touch it.
EDIT: The forum will not allow me to post the image URLs and the ZIP for the theme is to large to be uploaded in the manager
EDIT2: Managed to upload the pics but cant get the theme up yet due to Newbie restrictions
The fact that the notification-bar icons are actually larger than the grey background bar makes it look rather messy.
Also the date (when the notification bar is pulled down) has a different grey background as well.
I think you should sort these things out first, to be honest

Okay...
So...awhile back I posted a few pic's of my own personal theme that I was using.
A few people said "they really liked it" and wanted me to share...
So...here I am.
Since I myself am not a pro and usually keep to myself with my own stuff
I asked Branden from http://alldroid.org (Super cool Guy) if he would put it together for everyone if I supplied the files I personally use.
And there you go.

Any updates? This theme looks awesome.
The black bar mod w/o hero icons, tray, settings is just lame to me. Once again, this is just my opinion, others may like it. What I would like to see with this theme is a transparent notifications bar. That would make this theme complete. Once again, I'm not sure how difficult that would be, but it would definitely help this theme move to uber status!

Probably will be released sometime this week.
That battery icon is killing the theme for me...perhaps the white outlinish one, set to some transparency?

I believe the reason is because the background behind the notification bar is black so when set to transparent, you have a black bar... or so I've been told that's why.
please release today!! the 2nd pic looks nice!!!!
in eclair its really easy to make top bar transparent as theres no background image in eclair. thnx wicked_beav for the idea. but the prob is that in case of tranaparent notification bar its tough to see the font. if u use black font color and black wallpaper then u cant see the font and if u use white font and white background then again u cant see the font.
btw htcclay: bro how did u change the font color of top bar to white?

Is there any transparent notification bar metamorphs out there?
I think this might be what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768628
If you only want the status bar and not the font and apps and what not, just run the framework-res part. Let me know if you need help. Enjoy.
I did see that but couldnt tell if the notification bar was transparent or not.
Thank you
Yeah i flashed it and its nice and looks great, But i still want something with a completely transparent bar.
Tried that the first run, and it looked great when using LP+ and having the status bar hidden. When you would hit the notification button, it would pop down and you would only see the icons/letters/numbers etc, but otherwise it just shows up as a blank-black area. Something to do with that space is allotted
for the status bar and you don't really get it back, just because it's transparent. There might be a way around it, but not really sure yet. If you wanna try it, this was the first run of Transparent Chaos:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Transparent-Chaos.zip
Yeah I've been looking for the same thing for a few weeks. They can't do it on the eris yet though because of something with rosie and it not taking the background all the way up to the top so it would always look black anyway.
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo using XDA App
I think it's LP+ that doesn't allow the transparency because it just shows black behind the bar. I've heard that it works with ADW Launcher because of an option it has, I haven't tried it though because I prefer LP.
I'm pretty sure that's not it. I just tried it, and got the same results as LP+.
Can someone provide us with a transparent statusbar metamorph theme?Even a white one.This solid black statusbar is annoying...^^

I 've managed to extract framework folder.I opened framework-res.apk and found a lot of folders.I assume the .png i am looking for is located in drawable-ldpi folder,but the problem is that i cannot find which .png it is.If someone could guide me things would be much easier.Thanks Daniel for your response,can't wait for your themes...
Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.
thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.
I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.
ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...
Last night i searched and collected bunch of black'ups icons, all icons are in png, and 64x64, and this pack contains 894 icons.
I spent a little while searching for these last night as well. I found a page when you can just right click save the icons.
http://blackupshd.4fan.cz/
great but i don't like this icons with black corner
Hmm, they didnt show up like that on my phone.
They are made baddly
If you take a look closely on the site the icons under the title;
AppStore icons all have a black border. This usually happens when someone takes an icon and tries to create a template from it, forgetting to make the background transparent or not knowing how to make the icon sit inside a transparent boarder.
It's easily fixed if you know how and the original dimensions of the icon.
Other than that they are nice looking icons.
Great Icons....
Just wondering if there's a simple way to edit a MIUI theme? I have Formel's MIUI Mod (now known as KelLMSKing, but I'm still running Formel's last one), and I downloaded the Dark Blue theme from the new one. I like certain aspects of the theme, but other aspects of the original one so I've mixed and matched the two themes for what I like .. almost. The last change I'd like to make: How can I edit the font colour in the pulldown notification bar?
Fixed.. sort of
I fixed this.. sort of.
I downloaded a dark theme that would have the black pulldown notification bar, then when I installed it I de-selected everything (fonts, icons, lockscreen, etc) and selected only the "Theme" which makes the text in the notification easy to read and actual usable checkboxes.
Posting this in case it helps anyone else.
