Is there a setting in CM7.2 to get the time to display all the time in the status bar the way the stock ROM does. All I see is the clock app and no settings. I want to be able to look at the phone and get the time without needing the lockscreen. Thanks for any help.
The clock is there, you have to change the color of the clock text because it's set to black by default. It is in the post to do this.
Its something like menu>settings>cyanogen settings> don'trecalltherestoffthetopofmyhead. Keep in mind some changes wont apply until a reboot so if you change it and nothing happens, reboot and see if it changes to you're desired setting.
Cheers.
Finally got it. Thanks for the help guys. Sweet ROM.

Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
Hello Everyone,
Few months ago I purchase used DS5. I really like the phone. I have been reading lot's of thread and learned how to root the DS5. Finally I learned but I am still confuse about lot of things. I just now rooted to nom's PCM7 with JB patch and everything works just fine but I am missing status bar and also screen icons are very big for my likings. Also the clock, signal indicator and don't know what else is missing on the top right corner. I tried everything from Cyanogen mod setting to ADW setting but still can't get any of these things show up on my DS5. Could some one please show me how to set up DS5 where I can get clock, status bar and other things that are missing and smaller icons as well. Few post has mention about DPI but I don't know how to change DPI. I have learn some but not all of it so please someone help. I really like nom's PCM7 Rom but don't know how set up properly. Any inputs will appreciated.

Dear friend, you should read on 2nd post, there are instructions how to show up your statusbar.
-go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/ tablet tweaks/choose softbutton then untick or unchoose all option
-go to settings/themes and choose ice10 themes then reboot.
-always reboot after choose a theme
-the statusbar softbutton made the entirely statusbar not show up, thats why do not use it or hide it before change theme.
-to change dpi, go to rom toolbox lite/build.prop editor and search ro.sf.lcd_density=240; change it to 160, 180, 200, or whatever fit to you then reboot.

Change you DPI again, to a lower level (240dpi eq big icons 120dpi small). Also some launcher have settings for that (I use and recomend ADW ex others like GO Launcher).
I'm looking for help to either blackout, make transparent or remove the notification panel clock (drop down clock) and the lockscreen clock. I have already tired xblast tools and wanam xposed. Niether one gave me the desired results. I read that these can be modified in the systemui.apk, however I'm on a mac so the necessary tools aren't really available, that I am aware of. Anyways any input regarding a workaround or a solution would be much appreciated. Thanks
Update: I was able to take care of the notification panel clock via Wanam. Still looking for a solution for the lockscreen though.
For the lock screen clock.
Under locks sreen settings turn on multiple widgets.
Then you can press and hold on the clock to remove it.
And also can add whatever widget you want in its place.

Thanks, great workaround.

Good Day
I have a set of Black icons that I would like to use to set on my Themer icons - but when I go to Edit an icon and try to pick one of the black icons - I can't see the icon because the background of the CHOOSE ICON window is black.
I haven't seen a place where I can change that background color - Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for pointing this out! An idea would be to change your wallpaper to a much lighter image, then revert it back to the original (found in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/prefs/ folder). I've let the developers know so hopefully something can be done soon.

Thanks for reply, i tried setting it to almost fully white...
it does help a little - but its still very difficult to make out.
Hi everyone.. I'm at a loss and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Let's start saying I'm a super noob with this so all I do is just by trial and error.
Anyway, I have a theme I made with some custom image from my phone. I really like it, but no matter what I try, the color behind the notifications (not the quick menu, that one is fine with the shade of blue I picked) always remains white and so does the main settings background. (the settings background in the dialer app instead, for instance, changes fine, with the same file...??)
I don't understand what or where this white is located cause I've pretty much tried to replace everything white that isn't font or button colors... Yet no luck. Maybe it's hidden somewhere I can't see it?
Basically in the latest theme manager, I go to Home screen, settings, and under background I put a .9.png file. But this image is never reflected in the theme when I apply it. I don't know if this is what affects the notification color either, but I have no other clue what could be since it's the only 2 things that remain white in the theme!
I know it's possible to definitely change notification BG color in emui 10 themes because I have downloaded some who have green or red/blue notifications and those changed fine.... So I copied them from phone to pc and selected import in the theme studio cause I wanted to check where the difference was... But when I import them they revert to default. Maybe they're protected (rightfully so!) or something?
If anyone who makes themes could kindly help or tell me where the exact setting for the notification colors is, it would be a great help, or if anyone knows why that image doesn't get applied to the theme!
Thanks!
