Hey Matthew, this may sound stupid but I'm gonna ask if there's a bg image for the status bar or a code? I want it white for a theme I'm making but since I'm using it tablet ui mode there's no way of changing it's color, even with xblast tools.

Pretty sure it's a bg.png in framework or sysui...I'll have to take a look. status_bar_bg...???? Or something like that... Trans is xml but background should be png.

Matthew thank you once again. I'm not lazy and probably do have the capabilities to do this stuff, I am just really new to android and linux. But thank you for taking your time and doing all of what you have!!

I was looking for it at framework, I didn't find it yet, I got to look again and check system too. If the background is just a png then this could be helpful not just for me, but also for those with Stock ROMs. Thanks for your help!

I've been reading, it's definitely an image, I have tried some, including the "status_bar_background.png" and "status_bar_background9.png", both in framework apk but with no luck. I'm gonna continue tomorrow, I'm tired... lol

Edit: Apparently it has something to do with that type of png, the 9.pngs?

Changing status bar
Create your 9.png

What is the xml file in the zip for? When I open it, it appears to just have the name of 'the product' echoed in the top left of the browswer window.
I tried messing around with photoshop and made some actions to change the hue/sat. on all the files in both directories. But got to the point to rezip it with 7zip and noticed that my png files were twice the size of yours. I kept transparency in the images, and tried different things like interlaced/none; and even erasing the already transparent background to see if the hue/sat. process actually made it not transparent, but just appear transparent; still twice the size as yours.
Figured I must of went the wrong route to unzip/edit/rezip these pngs. Needless to say I didn't run it through zipthemer and try it, because I'd read somewhere else "Make sure its the same size as what you are replacing!!" <<That probably had nothing to do with changing soft keys though, probably was a whole background or something.

I'm curious, what are you changing? I mean, what files. Also I use Zarchiver, no compression zip files, it has never failed.

I'm sorry, probably should've quoted. Just trying to change the color of the soft keys up above a couple posts. I was trying to do it on pc using 7zip to unzip then edit, then rezip. There is a lot of options when you try to zip in 7zip.

The zip files have to be with no compression(that's what I've read, could be wrong), it's the way I do it, each softkey is a 96x96 png, and if you're using Matthews softkeys as a guide, there shouldn't be any problem. Can you show us how your sofkeys looks?

Gotcha. These are 96x120 but Matthew uploaded them and they work. They're the ones from up above a couple posts, the blue ones with the reflection.
I'm just playing around and made them a different color. Now I don't know the exact way to zip it back up, or why my file size on each image has doubled.
The blue one is the one Matthew had it is 2.4 kB and the one I changed the color on is 4.8 kB or something like that.

Dunno man, it's working fine on my end.

You say that when you flash the zip, the softkeys looks bigger on your device? Compared to the blue ones from Matthews?

@matthew0776 I'm beginning to think that changing the status bar color on AOKP while using tablet ui mode it's not possible. I've gone through various code modifiers, got the ".9.png" type of file right, flashed it and still no luck.

Hmmm.haven't had time to look. I'll do it today ... 100% I think I have a idea...
