transparent status bar

---

Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help

the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.

I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it

BANG! from my shooter...

I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

isnt that what ZduneX25's Theme Patch is for, which is supported by the gingerbreadEx theme?

Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though

To get transparency decompile SystemUI.apk
and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
and change the value to #77000000

and dont forget THANX if u liked....

but how to transparent the top bar?

First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.
