I've tried a couple ICS themes and I keep finding that I can't abide the tiny status bar icons. They're too small for these 60 year old eyes. Is there a way of making them bigger?

I just hide them (well most of them). the only ones I show are battery percentage and data signal (wifi/4G). phone signal has never been a problem, and don't need to see the geo location icon.

Which status bar icons are you talking about?

The 4g mostly. Those up and down arrows look like little dots to me. The battery level indicator is ok on this one but the little numbers on other style are really hard to make out. The signal indicator is pretty much Ok but I like the one is Black and Blue better.

I kinda need the 4g/3g/1x icon. I have signal issues where I work. When it switches to 1x I need to know. I also like the clock. If I'm not on the screen with the clock widget I can still read the time. I shut off Geo location too.

that's probably a good idea - different colors for different data signals. i don't think you really need to see the green/red arrows for the data flow, but at least to know that there is a connection, and what type of connection is most important.

yeah, I have the clock too, but that is centered.

regarding battery level indicator, you can just go with the percentage and hide the icon. the number is much larger, and you can customize the color at different levels.

After I post the update for the signal bars in a few days. I'll start a new thread which I will be taking requests for different colors for the icons in the status bar. In that thread I'll post the large ones for you.

I finally decided to try out transparent ICS. I like it and when the larger icons arrive I should be able to make this thing just like I want it. Thanks for what you are doing here.

Signal Bars Updated :) Sorry for the delay, more work then I had anticipated. As for the update I have added ICS signal bars 4 and 5 bar versions for all the themes. Added No Signal and Roaming bars for all the themes. Added 3 more themes CoreDroid, TW4 and Ice Cream Alchemy. Lastly made an adjustment to the 4 and 5 spike bars that was bothering me. Enjoy :)

I wouldn't recommend it but you can give it a try if you wish. If there are any issues you can flash Eclipse FP8, just wipe the caches and be back to normal.

why not, I'll try it

EDIT: alright, I tried flashing the Eclipse 5bar one. It seems the signal bars work but I still have the same battery icon.

EDIT 2: Well that explains why it only does the signal bars. It even says when flashing that it's only doing the signal bars. Whatever it was worth a shot lol.

The battery is in the framework so that would be why. Different apk then what you flashed.
