First of all, you must have root for this to work and I am not responsible for your actions! If you were tech savvy enough to root your droid x, then you will be able to do this mod. This mod is for those droid x users who are having eye problems staring at that light statusbar. Download this unedited framework-res.apk first and put it somewhere safe in case you need to recopy it. http://www.teenfaces.com/droid/framework-res.apk

Download the droidxblack.zip from link below and unzip the services.jar and framework-res.apk and copy them to your sdcard. Now very carefully copy or type the code seen below. Your droid will take a little longer to reboot. Do not interrupt it!
Code:

su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

Warning if you do not know what you are doing DO NOT try this. You will be stuck in a boot loop.
If you do know how to do this Enjoy :) It is normal for the phone to go black after you copy the statusbar. Continue to copy or enter the rest of the code and reboot your phone.

WARNING THIS NEW VERSION (8) is from the .604 update and is a black statusbar with a completely transparent shade, white clock and notifications! You also have to push the services.jar file. It has not been tested on the older operating system!!!!!! if you have already updated your phone with verizons OTA update either by OTA or manually, then this version is for you. If not use at your own risk!!!!!!!
Newest mod is version(8) and can be downloaded here >>>> http://www.teenfaces.com/droid/version8/droidxblack.zip
(This mod has been ported from stewart1champ's theme Watermarked for the Droid1)

I second the update.zip suggestion.

And this will probably be moved to Droid X Hacks section:)
