[Q] Top Status Bar from silver to black?

---

Hello,

Anyway of changing the top bar where the time battery and signal notifications are from silver/grey to black?

Loving the phone >)
Thanks

There is, but go to the "Themes/Apps" subject thread under Defy. You may also check out the "Android development" title, the different ROMS and thmes all have a little something you might be looking for.

you will have to flash a framework or theme through recovery

Were you able to find it?

it does change other stuff you have to make your own if you only want the status bar to change.

question asked quite a while ago, but in case you're still looking for this or someone else wonders about it also... here's what I use and suggest:

On this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-923360.html

you can find this:

DarkBar Patch : adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?hoiaf7d4na80jl6

It only changes the status bar to a 'blackish' look.
It's not pefect beacause the time display font hasn't been changed to white - but the rest looks ok.

To install this, you'll first need to have root access for your phone and Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery installed.

Then you use CWM to re-boot in recovery mode and then chose the update option and select the .zip file placed on the root directory of your SD card
[I didn't wipe or clear cache] reboot and it's done!

you need to modify frameworks.apk&service.jar yourself

be carefull, me too tried to mod the framework to change the lockscreen (following a guide) and the result was bootloop.
