The solid status bar theme in winterboard disappears when you open and close an app like safari. As far as i'm aware this hasn't been done before, (if it has sorry ) it even works in the lock screen.
Here are some pics:



If you have a battery logo theme, place the theme underneath

It also works on applications that didn't originally change the bar (like on notes)

Download
Download via attachment or here
Now on modmyi source on cydia! Search for "solid status bar fix"

Install
Use SSH or iPhone browser and go to var/stash/Themes.whatever/
then paste it the folder there and select it in winterboard.

(BTW this is my 1st 'theme')

nice, I've been waiting for one that works...I deleted the one in winterboard b/c it would work but sometimes disappear then go funky colors. I wish I had screenshots of how bad it was. I will def try this when I get home.

Nice Dude, finally!!
Can you tell us how you fixed this so we can implement it in our themes? I'd like to always have the non-solid status bar (black/transparent), maybe it can be done with your help!
Thank you very much!

Thanks all.
If you wanted to use this in themes you would just edit the files in 'com.apple.springboard', but you would have to convert them from iphone pngs to windows ones, using this program I found:
fixpngWindows.zip
just place the pics in the png folder, run the exe and they should be in fixed. BTW you don't need to convert them back either. Then copy them back to the com.apple folder. BUT those files are only for the springboard, so you would have to make separate icons for apps and call them DEFAULT_whatever aswell as FSO_whatever.

Hope this helps

OK, I did that and it worked (kinda). I now always have the black/transparent status bar background, but when i open an app like safari, the carrier name (I've got a custome one via MakeItMine) and the battery percentage digits fade to black and the clock to bright white instead of staying gray. Any Idea how to fix this?

[xan2116]

For the clock color make an Info.plist in the root of your theme and use this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0"><dict>

<key>TimeStyle</key>
<string>color: black</string>

</dict></plist>

(just change the color to what you want)

and for the battery pecrentage in the springboard it should use FSO_Percent_anumber.png and it should use DEFAULT_Percent_anumber.png for apps like safari, but apps like notes will use the FSO image.(are you sure you made FSO and DEFAULT percent images? and are you sure they are the same?)

Sorry guys, but is there any way to make that bar to stay black all the time or not?

I just need a simple answer, if not I wont bother trying.

Thanks

yes there is! Download my new Theme "complete Black&Red by Bubbledeluxe" in Cydia and your status bar will always be black
