[REQ] Statusbar - Transparent background dropdown menu

[sixun]

hello,
Rom stock Samsung ICS LPx :
I want to change myself the color of the dropdown menu (change transparency or another color)
When I decompile, I do not know what are the xml/smali files or png to modify,
because in an ICS rom stock, SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi\status_bar_background.png don't exist

If you know link or tuto it would be cool !!

hello maybe this help you you can try .
1 go to res/layout/tw_status_bar_tracking.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingLeft="0.0px" android:paddingRight="0.0px" android:paddingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <FrameLayout android:background="@drawable/notification_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_status_bar_close_on" android:scaleType="fitXY" />
    </com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView>

than go to res/values/drawable.xml

 <item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">@drawable/notification_info_bg_normal</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">@drawable/notification_info_bg_pressed</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="ticker_background_color">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00ffffff</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_background_solid">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_notification_row_background_color">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">@drawable/notification_bg</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="recents_callout_line">#7f000000</item>
    <item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_legacy_color">#7f000000</item>
</resources>

"notification_tracking_bg" = Homer Pic
"notification_item_background_color" = The blue flame pic (Als Externer Speichergerät...)
"notification_item_background_color_pressed" = The same only red by me...

you have to place the pics in drawable-hdpi, i have take gimp2 to modify & transparent.... than recompile .... and hopefully it works.
Have a nice day

Hello, thanks !, thanks ! thanks ! thanks ! thanks !

Just to be sure if I resume :
1 change in “tw_status_bar_tracking.xml” –
2 or 3 changes in "drawable.xml"
2 or 3 new pictures in drawable/Hdpi :
- notification_bg (transparent background)
- notification_info_bg_normal.png,
- notification_info_bg_pressed

Juste one question:
The format : is it “png” or “.9.png” for the 3 picts?

I think is .9.png because you use gimp

Possibly help me

Hey, I think the semi transparent image with the blue flames is quite cool looking. I have galaxy s3 and am unsure if the same things apply to changing images. Just wondering if you can email me at dan_the_man182003 at yahoo. with a little more help. I would love to figure this out. I have looked at some of the files but they are named differently or I cant find some of them.
