On androids, the only thing that is still bland is the notification bar and its icons. It has never really been beautified and is still either in white or black or solid colour.
I suggest someone make a theme so that the icons can be made more real, more 3d and interesting.
Ideas include ceramic icons, metallic icons, etc which could really be a gamechanger in user interface.

Hi all!
Aspiring dev looking for an answer to what should be a simple question.
I have a rom downloaded that uses an ADW MIUI theme. The original dev replaced the pull-down notification bar with a "glass" one.
All in all the theme looks nice, except for one issue...
The font color for the clock is black and the notification bar cuts off the area of the background wallpaper, making the notification area black as well, "hiding" the clock.
Is there something in framework that I can use to change this without making it overrule all the other fonts?
I really like this rom but the only thing I need to fix is the clock font color.
I love the Holo Light with Dark Actionbar theme. I have been working to make a vrtheme for it, but being amateur in themeing its taking me considerable more time and effort to make it work having to use the hit-and-trial method for everything and its becoming kind-of frustrating. So, even though I'll continue working on my own version of it, I'd like to put the idea out there so that maybe someone with experience can make it for us if he likes the idea as well.
What I'm thinking of is an even Holo Light theme throughout the ROM :
White background & black text for most apps(Phone, Messaging and the likes) and Settings. (I guess you could call it "inverted" but with holo colors thrown in.)
Dark grey & slightly beveled status bar. (Or White status bar with dark grey icons, but would mess up most app notifications since they are in white.)
White background in expanded notifications statusbar with Dark Gray toggles and Dark Grey and Holo blue for notifications.
Minimalistic Black/Grey Icons (like the ones provided for notifications by default in the Android resources) for Phone, Messaging, etc.
For cues and inspiration on the colors and feel, the Light theme on Falcon Pro and GMail's default Light/High Contrast Theme are good to try to take ideas from.
Meanwhile I'll continue working on my own version and I'll post it here as soon as I make a decent beta version.
I'm pretty sure its not been asked for or done here. But if I didn't search properly please point me in the right direction.
Hey guys,
I know that there is already an option for that, but i think that it would be better if the bar would darken more, so we can keep the white color for icons because it is a little bit strange when the color always switch from white to grey
A good thing would be to adjust how much 'darkening' the bar needs based on the color of the app, that is to say darken it more when DSB would have normally switch to black whereas this is not really important when the color is already dark (and the icons are still white)
Just my thoughts on this, but overall DSB is a really good news !

I agree with this guy.
I don't care about the grey icons, but a darker status bar would be nice. Like the 'Sense 5' one from 'Translucent Style' Xposed module.
Thanks for making this a reality, though.
Hi,
Just wondering if someone could help me find a CM12 theme that just changes the default teal color throughout the system? The colour is hideous. I do like the blue color of the chrome text selection indicator...
Cheers
Anyone? I've seriously looked everywhere, which I guess could be why no one has replied

Too easy, I looked for same thing. Don't change the font, animation or walls and you will have teal to charcoal grey, nicely done
Super clean free theme
is it on the device itself? Im looking for the black text/home icons/battery notification icons and it always stays white no matter how light the background.
Any clue?
I think so. Where did you see it? I put the white theme on mine, and it's like you said minus the status bar icons, which are still white, with a faded black background
Yeah it works minus the status bar icons
