Man, please - if you don't have something smart to say, don't say anything.
Someone spent his/her free time to actually learn community something and you said something like that -- and you said it in a very rude way...
Yes, we have xposed modules for many things and xposed is awesome but this is the way new developers learn and tomorrow build xposed module to do this...
I mean, what do you say for cookbook?
- We have restaurants -?!
Remember, someone is sacrificing his own free time for this, a lot of free time...so, please, don't do that...

bro, could you tell me how to disable icon on the left of statusbar that alway be made more darker ? When i try to add something like image button, text to the left of statusbar, it alway look like darker than system icon ( signal, battery ).
That's stupid tutorial bacause you're suggest wrong value!
You suggest value: #000000 - 6 x "0" char. But standard value have 8 chars!
Proffesional/Correct value are: #FF000000 - like your's "notification_panel_solid_background" on the screenshot!
Why?
You are use RedGreenBlue HEX (#RGB) mode, but Android here use TransparencyRedGrenBlue HEX (#TRGB) mode.
If you something do, make it as you wish that others do it for you - make it preffesional!
Regards!
@Kucharskov take it easy cowboy!! I just made a mistake, that's all. You could just point it instead of acting like that and talking like this!!

I some search on google, and googled through the XDA search as well, and cant find a theme that is has white bars. I was pretty surprised, since it seems like a fairly simple thing to do. RC mod will allow me to change the text color, but not the background color, any ideas?

You can make your own theme using ThemeGenCE, which you can find here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-themegence-v2-0.html
That'll let you make the task bar and the font whatever colour you want.
Hope that helps!

If you cook this into a ROM, you can edit the files (some are graphics in \Windows others are in shellres.96.dll/shellres.192.dll)
Use WA3 and you can use your own images for the task bar icons.

i found the following 2 attached files in the windows dir. one of them looks like what im looking for( it was originally 000-stsystem.png) i renamed it and sent it back to the windows dir and restarted my phone but no dice. any ideas?
edit: upon closer inspection these look like the icons used for pointui.
You need to change the resources in shellres.96.dll, tapres.96.dll, and outres.96.dll. In doing so, you can get icons such as this...

i found Resource Hacker to edit the dll, ill dig into this and see what i find. thanks for all the help!
some issues with those files:
there is no shellres.96.dll, but there is a file called shellres.96.dll.0409.mui
when i try to copy tapres.96.dll and/or outres.96.dll it says access denied

I think it needs to be cooked... There is a shellres.96.dll, it's just hidden (WM won't boot without it as it contains most of the shell images). The MUI file is the US English localization for the device.
Simple app I share with you guyzzz:
Updated [24.09.08] Ver 3.1.cab.zip Thanks to Member MACkjam and Member omniwolf for the heads up!
You use it to change the name of the Operator on the top right of the jewels screen.
You can put ANY text instead of you operator name (don't like operator name!!! Operator sucks!!)
No need of restart or any thing.
Saves settings after soft resets and off cycles as long as its got respective in Start up in Win.
Hope you fellasss enjoy.
I add a little screen shot as example:
Enjoy
All credits to respective creators.
I just found it.
hi Sergio
thanks for your sharing!!!!!
try it now.
ciao
EDIT: after soft reset you need to set up the personalize again ! or i am doing something wrong??
Nice, thanx.

Hi Marios,
is not the theme, you can delete manila files from Windows folder ( 1864da05 for bottom one and 18c460d8 for the top one) in order to clean the curtains.
another possibility is to use the cab that you can find here :

Now what would be sweet is if it allowed for a small bitmap image to work like the iphone.
Is there a way to change the possible length of the date on the left?
On some weekdays I have the problem that one or two letters are cut off in the middle. (German Rom - long date display)
This one is really cute!!! i use it for some time!!! And i love it.... it is like status on facebook or whatever!!!!
i understand that there're lots of more useful programs but this one - MUST HAVE #1)))))
Peace love n happiness..
i would love it even more if i could have no text at all there
oh just hitting space does that ^^ thanks

This is a theme based in REVOlution THEME for HTC EVO (more info LINK or LINK).
Only for OpenDesire, but i think that the theme works with every CyanogenMod6 based ROM. minimalistic_font is flashable for all ROMs.
Not finished yet, I'm still working on the battery, applications and everything else.
SCREENSHOTS:
DOWNLOADS:
Statusbar: BlackDesire-STATUSBAR-10092010-signed.zip (Tested in OD4.0.15)
Modded APPS Widgets: BlackDesire-MODAPPS-10092010-signed.zip (Power Control, Quick search, Youtube, GenieWidget, Music)
XML with Theme Colors: blackdesire.xml
Minimalistic Font: minimalistic_font-signed.zip
CHANGELOG:
11092010 Added Modded APPS and UPDATED the framework-res.apk (STATUSBAR)
07092010 Added STATUSBAR, FONTS and XML
How to apply "XML with Theme Colors":
Save it in your SDCARD in "CMTheme" folder, then go to SETTINGS>OPENDESIRE SETTINGS/CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS>USER INTERFACE>TWEAKS EXTRAS>SELECT A THEME and select "blackdesire".
Installation:
Dont extract, Flash, all are signed.
SOON MOD_APPS, CIRCLE BATTERY MOD, AND MORE MORE MORE!! STAY TUNNED
I really like the look of that! Tempted to flash open desire now
Looks great. Think I'll come back when a few more bits have been added.
Keep a watchful eye on it though
anybody tested it on cm 6.0?

Not full theme, only status bar
Nice job man
Just one tip: the roaming icon isn't included in the theme, looks like gray against the black of the bar, when it appears. Just fix this and the bar will be perfect!
Also, i'm really looking forward to see the full theme, keep it up
I love the font but I'm now missing the Swedish letter å, Å.
*edit* The missing letter is showing as 'L' on my phone. Should be an 'A' with a small circle/dot above it. ä and ö are showing as normal.
Is there something I can do to add it?
Otherwise the theme is working well with od 4.0.4. Thanks.

Good day people,
I have a question which is easy for you guys but almost impossible to find out for me because of bricking the device and the noob knowledge.
I have a Tesla style headunit with 4.4.2 which is rooted.
Please take a look at the picture below. I want to disable (if not possible remove) the two highlighted bars on top and bottom.
The device is rooted. And I already tried different launchers.
Can somebody give me advice were to look in which or at which file?

I assume it is part of the systemUI or some other "sub" server like apk. Another launcher won't change that.
Do you have a CAN bus installed? If so see if you have a CAN bus apk as well and try to disable that one. You might loose your bottom bar as that is a typical CAN bus type apk overlay.
That is correct, I have canbus. And the top one? Is it just a process which I can stop to check if it is this? Or is it not that simple?

I don't know, but my guess is that is is some "menu" like apk that overlays on top of the launcher. More like some kind of secondary systemUI or "sub server" apk. To make a more selective guess, but still a guess, you should show us a listing of /system/app and /system/priv-app
You are right! Checked all the apk in the folder you said and I got to com.android.system-UI this is the UI which is responsible for the top and bottom bar.
But now....it also manages bluetooth calls and settings from canbus so I cannot disable it. So the questions are getting a little difficult now. Were do I begin with this files to edit it that the UI is not shown anymore but the functionality remains?
Thank for taking the time to help me, really appreciate it.

You can indeed not remove the systemui, but that makes it at the same time also very complicated.
You need to be a java programmer or smali programmer to correct that. And because you don't have the source code (I assume), you need to re-engineer the code. I can't help you there.
If you want to go on with this take a look at jadx to decompile the apk, and make the modifications in smali with apktool.
But that's something really requiring java skills.
Is it to easy to see it like this: disabling systemUI forever. Make new shortcuts from the bluetooth.apk to the desktop. Also making new shortcuts from CAN settings and Nav settings to the desktop? What am I missing here?
Also, you say I need the source code, but I already have the system running so why do I need the source code? My little knowledge can give strange questions sorry

You need a systemui. It is the base layer for your graphical system. The launcher is just a "presenting" layer on top of that.
It means that you need to make changes to the existing systemui, or find a compatible systemui. The second is almost impossible as these systemUIs are specifically adapted for these head-units.
So only the first option applies: Change the existing systemUI.
You need a person understanding java and smali, and who knows the technicalities of your unit more or less. There are some gurus being able to do that, but the combination is hard to find. And even for him/her it will take hours and hours to find and modifiy it.
Hahaha! Thought it was something with /hide bla bla. Thanks for explaining it to me. I am going to try to get some help here on XDA
Got this solution from the ever resourceful [4pda forum](https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=877711&view=findpost&p=72236272) (Google translated):
1. Install and configure the most convenient way for yourself here is this program [UDN, Ultimate Dynamic Navbar](https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=460767) This is a small launcher that can be configured to auto-hide and "pull" it from the edge or of the screen angle.*Also, what's important is that you can add your own add-ons to it.*button.*This launcher is needed, because*in the full screen mode, there are no other buttons.*
2. mini-program for hiding navbar and systemUI: [NavBar_UIkill.apk](https://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/12610888/NavBar_UIkill.apk)*(1.52 MB)*It is installed in the standard way.*Then it must be added as a button on the UDN.
