Well, as the topic states, I'm running CM9 on my DX2 and I would like to have a transparent status bar. Does anyone know how hard, if it is at all possible to implement on ICS. And if it is, is there a solution to this issue or if there is not, how I would even begin to go about it? Any help is appreciated.
TIA,
Matt (syn-ack on freenode)

does anyone know a way to make the Droid 2 notification bar black?
I'm running the stock rom and i don't want to flash any other one.
so can anyone help me?
Just use any theme you see here with a black notification bar... or do a search for black notification bar.... searching is key

I found a theme.....but do all notification bar themes work on any phone?
Crap didn't mean to thank you for that post.
All themes under droid 2 themes and apps should work as long as they are made for your rom
Do you need to be deodexed to apply themes like this?(excluding metamorph and ninjamorph)
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I don't think you necessarily have to be, but it is recommended.
Completely wrong
You need to be deodexed or flashing themes will FAIL.
I would just recommend using fission and then flashing a theme over fission. Fission has tons of features and themes and you'll like your phone much better after that. Any custom rom is deodexed though so it should work with any rom.

I said what I said because I had read that there were some deodexed themes. Not sure how true that is though, as being that I've never actually tried looking for any.
thanks for the tip.
i just flashed Fission with the black theme, works fine and is amazing
thx again
I'm not sure what deodexed means. Does this mean I can't change the notification bar theme on stock rom?

U have to run a custom rom to change the color to black for example: liberty 2.0.1

Old thread. I did it using metamorph and am now on liberty 2.0.1. Thanks though

If you're running the D2's stock ROM, they your most likely ODEXED. As they said before, install any custom ROM and you'll then be DEODEXED. Hope this helps...

I have been wondering this same thing, and after some research and googling I found a very simple solution. Locate my post titled "Theme Kitchen" and go to the link provided. It is a theme kitchen, it has instructions included on how to do everything.

I did some googling but the few solutions I found did not work, does anyone know a good mod or app to make the notification bar translucent on GB roms? Specifically I am on Simply Honey 5.0. Metamorph or otherwise?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice, I went there and was eventually able to make a pretty decent themed pulldown menu, but the only thing that didn't change was the top bar even though it was right in the example it showed before I finished it. I tried a few more but everytime the bar was the only thing that wouldn't change.
Oh well, I just can't seem to work this thing out. Thanks anyways!

decompile the apk, I think its systemui.apk and then modify the status bar and then recompile it
Hey guys, just got my MoPho in the mail, and I'm really liking it, except for the butt ugly status bar icons.
The device is rooted, so, can anyone steer me in the general direction of notification bar mods? Thanks all.

Indeed, you can use UOT kitchen to make a lot of modifications. I've done it while on stock ROM. In the end, I wound up running Alien ROM, so all those mods I did were sort of just for learning purposes I guess. If you decide to use UOT kitchen, right be for you cook the Zip file, make sure to select "Amend Scripting" and deselect "theme chooser"
Does anyone knows an easy way to do it?
Couldn't find anything for t959..
Here is a transparent status bar that you apply through Metamorph app in the Market.

Uotkitchen is the easiest to do it.

I made a transparent status bar for Zendroid using uot kitchen. Had mixed results with other roms.
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Zendroid has the framework-res file uploaded to UOTkitchen. Afaik it is the only one that has and you don't have to do it yourself. With Metamorph you just apply the XML. Another app is called Zipthemer which will create an update.zip as well as an undo.zip too. I have used both and they work.
