hey, i dont know how to do that. but i can recommend that ( actually i am doing in that way)

1. find any systemui.apk that has the style what you want.
2. decompile it and go to res/values/style.xml
3. match your style.xml and your downloanded style.xml
4. try to simulate your xml to that xml .

hope this helps.

don't try to change whole lines !!!

for example :

in your style.xml -- > <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.

in dowloanded style.xml --> <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light">

so you have to edit your line and add '' Light '' end of it. it will look like @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light

The important thing is you have to figure out what lines are related to your notification panel!!!

I am doing the same thing right now. I have couple cm11 themes and i am changing my sytles, colors, dimens according to theme's styles, colors.xml etc ..

I am using notepad++.

Just open the 2 xmls that you wanan check. Put them side by side and check the lines.

if something going wrong when your systemui get function ... you have to come back to your xml and check the line again.

The last say --> maybe you will need to change some drawble xmls and some drawble hdpi/ xhdpi/ xxhdpi files according to your dpi .

it depends on the rom ...

i had to edit

- ic_notify_button_bg.xml
- notification_header_bg.xml
- qs_tile_background.xml
- system_bar_notification_header_bg.xml

in drawble. I am running kitkat 4.4

maybe you need to edit those xmsl as well, maybe you dont need, maybe you dont have those xmls. not sure :)

maybe ... it depends on the theme's color and style. For instance: you will set your notifaction panel is white and if ur text color is white then you will not be able to read/see your notification :D you gotta see what's hapening after editing styles ... if it's ok then no problem. if it is as my mention then you gotta edit your colors.xml ...

i hope you got the concept of the work.

you can search any tutorial for editing notification panel. All necessary steps can be found. according to those tutorials you can edit your systemui.

For instance:

In the tutorial will say let's edit this line according to that .... you have to find this line at the xml in your lewa systemui and edit according to it ;)

good luck ;) happy theming ...
