[Q] Status Bar Icons/Apps

I have search high, and low, and all I seem to be able to find is that you need to have a rooted device to be able to change the icons in the status bar, and what not. Well my slide is rooted, but I do no see any where that tells how to change them, or change the battery icon to show % and what not. Could someone point me in a direction, or give me some pointers on how to change the icons? Mainly the battery app/icon, I want one that shows % in the right, which most apps will show a % but then I have 2 battery icons, I just want the 1.
Along the lines of his question. Whatever happened to the status bar/tweak options in CM Settings for CM7?
They are implementing the color changing through the themes app they are providing. I wouldnt be suprised if the theme process will eventually cover the unlock slider aswell.

[Q] How Do i get coloured icons in notifcation bar....eg...Wifi,3g etc

Im just curious as to how to get the coloured icons in the notification area....only the standard ones like wifi signal, phone signal and data etc....as i have flashed many gingerbread roms and was hoping they would change but they still stay stock white/grey (except battery which changed to new gingerbread one
google search uot kitchen
thanks for reply.....but am i being stupid because i cant find where it will replace wifi icon and phone signal....just giving me options for battery , status bar colour and boot splash etc....is there not a more straight forward way of changing wifi signal icon to green like gingerbread...thanks
Check app and theme section. There are many different themes you can apply that will give you the look you need.
Just read carefully as most are ROM specific.

the second page after you change the battery, it asks you what kind of status bar icons you want ..... you get a choice of icons for a black status bar, or ones for a white status bar

Transparent status bar with CM7?

Alright, I just got a hold of CM7 for my Incredible 2 and wanted to know how I can get a 50% transparency status bar. I looked all over, even in that Meizu theme thread (or whatever it's called) and I still can't find out how to do it. Can anybody please give me a quick tutorial? Please?
Bump! SOMEBODY needs to know how to do this...
I would also like to know how.
I mean, I GOT it and everything, but the clock is centered. Rest assured I am restoring a Nandroid right now. I don't want a centered clock.

it isn't a quite tutorial, inverting the status bar mean, that you need to change the .png of the status bar from black to whatever transparency you want, I use paint.net...
then EVERY status bar icon has a black background.. you need to change probably over 100 icons give or take to have it look correct other wise u will have a transparent staus bar with icons that have a black background.
I suggest using the UOT kitchen. much faster. and it should do this MOD for u, I'm not sure I've never used it but people seem to like it.
download the Metamorph app and search for "metamorph darkshade.zip". The darkshade.zip file will theme your notification pulldown for you. You'll have to do a battery pull after applying the theme but afterwards you'll be golden.
I've tried using metamorph but it does do anything for my Inc2 and I'm on CM7. Any help?

Transparent Status Bar?? Multiple Custom App Starter Rings??

Just 2 quick questions:
1. Is there a mod for the transparent status bar on the G2?? Ive searched but couldnt find anything.
2. I've seen a few people who have multiple custom app starter rings on the new lockscreen, anyone know how to do it?
1) I'm not sure off the top of my head.
2) Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Lockscreen > Style Options (select Ring style)
You then must check the Custom App starter box, scroll down and you'll see a selection for Custom Application. From there you pick up to 4 that you want to use (I think its 4, thats all I use).
Thanks man, I didnt realize that once you click on the custom app button after you add the first one, it will give you options to add more. Thanks man. Ill keep researching about the transparent status bar.
No problem. I didn't catch it the first time around either
If you find the transparent bar shoot me a PM with it.
Ok if I find anything to get it working Ill PM you
There was an option to have the transperent status bar in cyanogenmod 6
I dont know if its there I could find it
