I actually just wanted tk write a request for that. The tranparent black from ics looks 100 times better! :)
I'm really looking forward to your mod/work :D

U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.

I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.

I will try

on ics the file you guys are trying to edit is called the notification tracking background
