Screen Shots and Discussion for themes 1.0

You could take your framework and edit the status bar or take framework from the stock theme and put it into your framework and then adb push it back while in recovery. Kov also has a gray status bar in his version of the droid x theme thats in this thread.

there anything in particular i need to have in order to edit the status bar...as far as actually making/editing these themes i'm kinda clueless...i'm way better at just installing them lol

Well you would need adb so you can push and pull files from your phone. Then any photo editor, I use photoshop and I have also used photo pos pro which is free, there is also gimp I think and others. What you would have to do is hook your phone up to your pc then use adb to pull your framework go into the res/drawable-hdpi folder and look for statusbar9.png if i recall correctly and edit it to your liking. Then boot into recovery and mount your system, I used to not have to but now i do or it dont work, then use adb and push your framework back. If you need the correct commands and stuff just shoot me a pm and i will give the full details just to much to type out and dont want to overrun the thread.

if you edit a .9 image you will lose the patch. so after you edit it run it through the draw 9 patch tool in your sdk

What if I edited straight from the zip file and then flashed as i would any other theme is that viable? I'm on stock theme right now til i get bearings on what i want

 

[Armyof2]

Lol I think i'm just going to either deal with the black bar or hold off until something comes along...this is a bit beyond me to be honest

 

[shocka2430]

Yes you could do that. Make sure to do what bgill said, he knows more then i do lol. Pm sent ArmyOf2.

Then you have to run it through Eclipse to embed the 1 pixel border or else you'll end up with an image with a black pixel around the borders.


In fact, Armyof2, if you want I'll make it for you. let me know what exact theme file you downloaded and are currently running. I'll make a new statusbar_background.9.png for you and load it back into the theme zip file. You can just re-flash it and the status bar will be changed.
You want a gray or white background? Like the stock background?

Neither one of those links had a file that had a gray status bar...one was transparent and the other was a pretty dark gray...so I made one myself real quick.
let me know if you like it or not.
gotta head to work soon so I wont be able to adjust anything until later tonight. I have a feeling what I made is a little darker than what is in those screenshots..but either way let me know.

A bit dark but pretty close to what i'm looking for...problem is only the bare bar is showing i'm not seeing signal strength or battery or any of the texts in the bar it self
