Ever try Apex?

Apex is a good one. The Paranoid ROM has an expand desktop feature to get rid of the notification bar entirely of you want that.

don't want to get rid of it, want it upon the desktop image.
and i don't feel like getting paranoid untill they will come to jb
apex doesn't do the job.


anyone else?

Have you tried MiHome?

Have you tried MiHome?

MiHome doesn't seem to agree with JB.
Any other option, in your opinion?

Thanks

Not so sure it is a launcher specific setting, as it was a setting in aokp no matter which launcher you used. After a quick Google search, I found about 30 tutorials how to do it using apktool to edit systemui.apk.

Since it edits they system files, no launcher will probably ever do it, it will have to be programmed into a custom ROM. Or you can mod it yourself. If you need any help using apktool, feel free to ask.

The only launcher and the only way you can get the things you desire, is with Holo Launcher HD, it is based and pulled right from 4.1.1 AOSP, and works ecatly like the stock one. But you have more settings to play with. One is to remove the staticsearchbar that you dont like..:good:

Check it out If you dont like it, then you can get the fu.... out and stop make everything so damn hard.

Miui didn't do the job, the statusbar is still there.
@jabbeboy: you probably misunderstood searchbar and statusbar, thx a lot however!

what i need, in the end, is a trasparent status bar..

congrats on not listening to anything I said... you have to edit system files, it is not a launcher thing!! And no one has done it for JB yet, but if you do want it, you should use AOKP ICS or PA ICS. Or I can do it for you on an ICS based ROM, but this mod just doesn't exist yet in JB. A lot of the code changed with Project Butter which makes things faster but are a bit more complicated.

Now the drawer can be transparent and there is a mod for that. Here is a guy who is a big themer and he claims that currently transparent status bar cannot be done in JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30823878&postcount=11

ignorance on how to do that is not meant to ignore of your precious words! so thx for making things clearer.
at the moment i'm on a AOKP based rom (Baked). The statusbar cannot be changed, only the notification background could.
i read here and there that someone already did the thing, perhaps not on Ns.
any other hint for a noob-on-theming?

Why don't you just use the "expand desktop" feature in Paranoid.

Nexus S. (GSM i9020a)
Paranoid Android (2.0 - 4.1.1)
Marmite Kernel (4.5 - Bedalus)
Smartassv2 (Screen On) (800/200)
Ondemmand (Screen Off) (400/100)
Deep Idle (N/A - Deadline)
BLX (98 - Inverted Apps)
Black Exodus (Stock Voltage)

I'm on PA at the moment.
The feature removes the statusbar, I'm searching for something different, i.e. a trasparent bg of the status bar: signal, battery, alarm and other notifications should appear over the desktop image.
