Need Help with Notification bar background!

[ssethv]

I want to change the background of my notification drop down box. This is what it looks like right now,

I want to put a picture or pretty much just anything different (or at least just know how to do it.)

I am running CM7 nightlys with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.... if any of that helps.
also, I have tried to do it Metamorphs method and has not worked at all for me. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I'm thinking that's Theme Territory. Unless given options in a ROM, I don't think there are ways to make Notification Bar changes without cooking up a theme and making it yourself.

How can I cook my own theme up, and how hard is it to do? i can imagine pretty hard. throw me a link or something if possible
