[THEME] TransStatus! Transparent Status Bar

mattyboy1013 · Oct 6, 2010

This is my first theme so leave feedback, and feel free to donate!
This is a blur rom, and cannot be used on blurless roms.

*Must be rooted, deodexed, froyo. full installation instructions here*

It is a .zip which you can apply via Droid X recovery.

in recovery do the following:
1. Make a nandroid backup (Backup and Restore>Backup)
2. Install zip from sd card (Install Zip from sd card>Choose zip from sd card>TransStatusv1.zip)
3.reboot phone

NOTE:
Make sure in ADW you have Wallpaper hack unticked. STATIC WALLPAPERS DO NOT WORK IN LAUNCHER PRO! it is part of the way the app is written, not my status bar
Thanks MrDanger!

And feel free to visit thedroidpeople.com for more themes to come, as well as custom icons and docks!

What Rom? i dont see any factors that should make me think it wont work, i have had many people try it without problems...

georgepink · Oct 7, 2010

this is awesome, and thank you. One quick question, is there a way to retain the status bar icons you had previously? or is it all or nothing? Again, thank you, and I'll probably use it, but rather liked the icons I had before.

I just re-applied the modded icons from before and they worked. Sorry I did not think to try that earlier. Nice job on the t-bar!

I have the same issue as Steveo. I am running the latest version of Rubix.

Same here. On the Lockscreen, it IS transparent. However when you go to the Homescreen, it is BLACK.

Almost there man! Hope to see a V2 with this fixed!

I know the answer to these... I have had a transparent status bar for sometime now (I'm actually going to sort of borrow your transparent icons

I was too lazy to do all of em)

The problem I ran into was that the status bar IS transparent... it's just that LauncherPro and ADW do not stretch the wallpaper past the status bar... leaving a black space there.

I did some work on trying to stretch it but forgot about it and got used to it. I'll see what I can find. But it's not the status bar... it's the Launcher!! Got to either do some re coding of launchers... or ask the dev of the launcher and see if they would "stretch" the wallpapers

ATTENTION!!!

I stand corrected... This DOES work with ADW. How?? Well...

Menu -> "ADWSettings" -> "System Preferences" -> Untick "Wallpaper Hack"

(I also finished my transparent Sense UI status bar icons)

Now to get this working on LauncherPro...

Do you mean it works on LP too??

Gimpeh · Oct 11, 2010

I don't see such a setting in LP. Care to elaborate?

wingshot007 · Oct 11, 2010

This will not work with Launcher Pro. I made my own transparent status bar and ran into the same thing.

I posted about it on the Launcher Pro forums about a week ago and never got a response. So ADW it is...
