[Q] Transparent status bar on Legend (CM 7.1)?

---

Does anyone know if there's a mod available to make the status bar transparent on the Legend (CM7.1)?

I came across following site: uot.dakra.lt/kitchen but it looks quite complicated

1. Make backup of your SystemUI.apk (and SystemUI.odex if it is there)
2. Download file attached
3. Put that file (SystemUI.apk) into your /system/
4. Set permission to rw-r--r--
5. Delete SystemUI.odex if it is inside /system/app/
6. Copy/move and replace modded SystemUI.apk from step 3 into /system/app/
7. Reboot

Note:
1. I set the status bar background to grey colored when you pull down the statusbar to avoid the date overlapping with clock.
2. Notification icons will overlapped with centered clock when it is too many. Dont have much time to at least try to find a way to fix it. If you do have, please share.

Edit: Dont forget to do nandroid backup..

If you are looking for transparent status bar for 7.1..

You can always apply this.. TGF-Theme-Patcher-7.1-Final

Thanks for your replies!

I installed attached SystemUI.apk according to instructions. After reboot I had a black non-transparent status bar with centered clock.

TGF-Theme-Patcher-7.1-Final gave me a bootloop. Luckily I made a nandroid backup..

Mmm.. lucky u did a backup.. ( )

but its weird.. as I did used that patch for a quite a long time now..

Maybe because i forgot to mention.. Its for the CM7.1 Stable only..

But if i remember correctly.. TGF did mention that it in his post..

Black non-transparent statusbar is known issues with some launchers and there are several ways to resolve it.
One way is to use livewallpaer apps (the reason it become black is simply because your launcher didn't "draw" your wallpaper below that statusbar thus those apps resolve it such as walypyrus etc) but it takes very big memory.
If you use Go launcher, just enable the high quality drawing in preferences then restart your go launcher.
If use adw, it is the "wallpaper hack" setting.

I'm using Launcher Pro. Should it work with this Launcher?

Not sure for launcher pro but it definitely works for GO.

If you want to know if the mod will work in pro launcher, i cant say for sure but i think there is one option to enable high quality drawing as well for LP, you can try enable it and see how.

To make it even more complicated: I am now running CM 7.2.0 RC2

Has anyone managed to make the status bar transparent for this version?
