Hi,
I was thinking that and I think it's a great idea! so I decided not to wait and mod it myself. Which in turn caused epic headaches, serious braindamage, some bald spots on the head. But eventually I got it LOL
this is how it looks:
and here you can download the modded SystemUI.apk
http://www.4shared.com/file/pvN8WoKx/SystemUI_transparent_statusbar.html
install by running this adb command:
adb push SystemUI_transparent_statusbar.mod /system/app/SystemUI.apk
you can also just rename it and install it any other way you think might work
Use at own risk.
for people who want to know: there are 2 things I modified in this apk:
- statusbar.smali
- status_bar_background_draw.png
