You can using a custom status bar on stock lq2 its transparent with bunch of toggles looks much better then the stock one all icons in blue with 15 toggles

I will add xda thread link if you guys interested

As mentioned before, its a smali edit. Then you can either set the status bar colour to transparent or set the drawable to look for an image. I'll post a quick tutorial when I get to my computer. Really easy to do providing you know how to (de)compile properly

Im writing this presuming you already know how to decompile ICS apk's, if not.......google is your friend

Make a backup of your systemUI just incase.

Decompile your SystemUI,

Navigate to /SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali

In StatusBar.Smali, search for this line;

invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

A few lines above this change;

const/16 v16, 0x4

To

const/16 v16, -0x3

Save the file then navigate to SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml
Look for the following line;

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>

Change the hex value (#ff000000) the what ever you want ((ff = 100% transparency)(000000 = black)

#00000000 - completely transparent
#7f000000 - roughly 50% translucent I think


Save the file then recompile SystemUI.apk, and then push the apk back to your phone with the correct permissions and if compile correctly you should have a transparent status bar

If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible....blah blah blah!!
Iv only done this on CM9 & AOSP/AOKP but it should work with stock/tw roms as long as they're ics.

I'm still not next to my computer so I can't remember the line of code to set the status bar as an image rather than a color, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

How do I get a background Image, Like the attached Screenshot ?

Thanks!
