In launcher pro you can set it to hide the notification button. Is there a way to set a toggle or set a gesture to hide the notification bar and unhide the bar? Or even may maybe push a created shortcut and it shows notifications?
You can make shortcuts in LP to actions which can do the same thing.

You can also do the same thing in ADW EX, it comes with some pre-defined shortcuts for actions like that.

Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.
Anybody know how to get back to the settings after hiding it on your home screen?

Make a shortcut with Anycut? Or are you referring to ADW settings?
By default in ADW, swipe up or down toggles showing and hiding the bar
Make sure you apply today's update...it has support for gestures. :highfive:
Works ok

Is it possible to bring down the notifications shade with a gesture, if the bar is hidden?
I've got a two finger swipe set for that, but it only works if the bar is not hidden.

How did you get it to work? I can't seem to find that action.
Swipe down to display the notification bar

In order to find the gestures, go into: Themer Settings > Themer > Gestures. From here you can assign a gesture, for example swipe down to show the notification bar, or swipe up to hide it. Make sure you have the latest update, as this includes gesture support.
If you go into Themer Settings > Advanced > Desktop, you can whether to display the notification bar or to hide it.
Hope this helps
What's happening in v1.8 . Can we get any sneak peeks?

i'd like to second this - not just to show or hide the notification bar, but a gesture to fully pull down the notification shade. For example other launchers let me swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring down the notification shade, but with themer i must pull down from the top of the screen. Once you get used to swiping down from anywhere, you really miss it
@ThemerSupport I love this app and as you can see in the screen shots and .zip section I've been making some matching lock screens using uccw and widget locker.
What I would like is to be able to use the everything widget in widget locker for the lock screen but cant. But can use the other themer widgets please can you fix or add. So I can use themer and widget locker together
Thanks
all the best

Hi, when using a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova, there is no notification bar. Does anyone know how I can get notifications? I tried Swipe Status Bar but it doesn't work. Thanks

There is no constant notification bar like on a phone (always at the top) but you can change the settings to have "swipe down" to display notifications.
Apex settings-->behavior settings-->under gestures select "swipe down"-->show notifications
Problem is, that only works on the home page, not while in other apps. And getting to the home page while in other apps is a pain, since they didn't make a home button...unless I've somehow just missed that.
All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes and taps to allow, e.g, Home action.
Hi everyone!
I have a quick question from my daughter (she's the one using this phone):
What app do you use to hide navigation buttons? She likes capacitive buttons under the screen but this phone doesn't have them
Thanks!

As no hardware Button, we need soft navbar. But you can:
-Hide navbar depending on the app you are on.
It is called expanded desktop.
For example on launcher hide statusbar and navbar
-Use pie control to only show nav Button when needed.
It is called pie settings.
Here exemple crdroid, but dotos shall have it too.
Well, my phone, has already an option to add small 'v' symbol on the left side of navigation panel. Pressing it hides it. To show it again just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
It is in Options > Smart Assistance > Navigation bar > Navigation bar (switch).
Thanks for such perfect reply!!!
