---

Credit to jonnybueno for all of the edited .png files in here, I took 90 images from it. Sorry for the period of time this wasn't up here, I was drunk when I redid the thread.

I have received a few requests in the past for a black notification bar from some members, and figured that if a few people want it, well then more do as well request thread)

Old Versions

If you need an older version shoot me a pm, comment in this thread, or look in the attachments. (it could be there depending on if it had the lockscreen in it.)


Sorry it has taken me so long to make an official update for this.

About various other apps/widgets being skinned, well basically you can take the apk that it is in the theme and put it on the root of your sdcard and do this in the recovery console

mount system
mount sdcard 
ls /system/app (only if you need to find the exact name, skip if you don't need the exact name)
cp /sdcard/exactappnamecapsandall.apk /system/app/exactappnamecapsandall.apk

awesome! keep up the great work

We can haz screenies? Or am I missing something blatantly obvious?

you are actually having a massive fail (but its ok). there are 3 files edited. one .png, one .xml, one .dex.

literally all this is is a black notification with the clock and date and the text for the notifications white.

Oh I see...thanks.

I would prefer black bars too, but the problem is that app icons are designed for white background, so some of them can't even be seen when the bar is black.

if there is a theme with icons you like i can pull them from there and drop them into it so that the icons are visible.

I personally never cared about the app icons on main screen; I only look at the tray icon and notification bar colors and icons.

The icons I'm talking about are notification ones like the one for Swift, which is just a black flying bird. This would be a black bird on black bar background, making it invisible.

ooohhh i was talking about battery, signal, wifi, notification icons, but yeah i can't really do anything about other apps

actually i think you could probably use that one method to do this also. where you make the apk match the theme. here wouldnt you just have to look for the png and invert the color? or no? i really dont know just says what I's thinks
