Notification bar color

[ridefree]

Is there a way to change the color of the notification bar color at the top of the droid? Haven't had any luck doing so or finding an answer.

I haven't seen any app's that would do that but sure something will turn up sooner or later.

Do not think that is possible actually. If there is a way I'd like to hear it.

It's artwork that's in the phones rom. Another one of the things that need root. It's actually REALLY easy to do, but it takes an artist's touch. Therefore, mine suck lol.

With the droid rooted it is now possible to change the notification bar color. Looks a lot better with the bright white bar gone.

Not possible unless you are rooted.

I kinda like the white bar, but I would be intrigued to see what a black one would look like on stock Android

Rooted Droid with a black status bar.

Here's a link to the thread with the dl and a brief how to, it requires a rooted droid with busybox installed. AllDroid.org - View topic - What I Have Done With a Droid Now That It's Rooted

The file link is on page 3-4

If you don't know what any of this means, I recommend you research this stuff as going into it blind could result in you having a very expensive paperweight

The text is still black in that one, I'd say black on black is not too great compared to heros clean white on black
