Ohhh, gotchya. I've heard of that before.... hmm, lemme do some diggin'.
As I recall, I linked you to that Pac-Man animated top bar for WebOS, lol! You like customizing your devices, it seems. I think I can find something...

Found two methods, I'm testing each now~ I didn't think about it beforehand, but the screenshots look really nice.

MetaMorph is giving me issues applying a couple of themes... I already had to do a terminal fix to get it working, it's not looking good for MetaMorph. I found a flashable method, testing that now.

Whoa, totally worked!
Looks really cool, here's the page I finally found.
[MOD][CM7][17 Apr 2011]Transparent status bar - xda-developers
You'll need an XDA account to download, if you don't have one lemme know. ADW.Launcher needs the wallpaper hack turned off, I went with the 50% one. Flash in recovery. Gonna try fully transparent next! Thanks for the idea!

One problem I've noticed on fully transparent is that apps with white backgrounds/layouts might display the top bar as white, making the time and battery invisible for me. Most apps are black though, I've only seen it in ChompSMS and the stock browser.
