Does anyone know where the png files are for the notification bar?
In gb It used to be in systemUI.apk but i cant seem to see any images that i changed last time in ics.
This is what i did in gb (ported rajaspideys ios notification) to gnote and would like to do the same in ics. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry i wasnt very specific. Attached is a screen shot of what i did in gb. I did this by using the universal theme flasher and swapping the pictures in the systemui in drawable xhdpi. I would like to do this in ics but the same images dont seem to be there in ics systemui.

ICS has changed how it is handled. Now it is a color code and not an image. You can make it an image by redirecting the XML files to point to an image instead as I have done.

Ahhh right.
Did you use apktool to decompile?
Any guides on doing this?

yes but you will need 2 version of apktool to do it. One to decompile and another to compile ICS. Then in the layout folder of the system ui you will need to change the xmls for the status bar to android:drawable/status_bar which is in the framework-res apk. You will also need to change the XML in the system UI folder. There is no guide. I found it by trial and error to be honest. A lot of ICS uses color hex codes instead of images now but thankfully they left the unused images in the framework-res folder

Check the layout folder in system UI for the status bar expanded. It will tell you what the background it. It might be a color hex code

I used the correct syntax in the actual files but still nothing.

Here we have a black menu mod. Its sense 3.0 with gingerbread 2.3.4, with the look of original gingerbread that brought the black menu.
In theory it should work for any gingerbread 2.3.4 sense 3.0 Evo 3D rom. This has only been tested with Steel rom's and shogun roms.
If it works for you please let me kno.
It is a black menu with grey text. There are some new menus that are now grey. Some menu's are still white and shows light grey text. That'll be fixed soon.
Wipe cache and davalik then flash the zip in recovery. Do a nandroid just in case i am not responsible if anything happens to your device. Works for me this is your warning tho.
if it works for you please comment which rom you used it with.
What's New:
More Menu's updated
Future Updates:
Make all apps compatible with mod .. some apps still have white background

Yeah, the black menu is a png, but the white text is a smali file (i dont even know which one). You'd have to decompile framework or system ui (whichever one the PNG for menu was in, I think SystemUI), then look through the smalis and edit one of them using Android-Utility , APK manager, and/or APKTool

Yup but so far for the Rezound it is battery mods only.
Battery mods are the biggest part, is over 200 images to do it 1 by 1 is killer, I've done it and it sucks.the rest of the theme building is pretty easy and less tedious. I nominally use uot for the battery then build from there. glad to see they got it going. I've been itching to builds some themes for this phone, once I get the time I plan on getting a few out there

That's right, you only need to decompile/recompile if you're updating XML or changing icon sizes(since you have to move alignment).

Changing the hue (if you didn't select only a portion of the image) will change the borders as well. If they aren't solid black, then the image will be jacked up. You can also re-trace over those borders with a pencil tool set to 100% black "ff000000" and that should work too.

Well the process of recompiling the apk will do it for you. You can then pull that image of of the compiled apk, in the dist folder, and put it into your original to flash in recovery, or push using adb.
There is also a tool somewhere out there that will process the .9 without using apktool, I don't remember what its called tho.
