Status bar dissapering?

[Shepp001]

Hi,,

I have just made a red status bar for my iPod touch and i have put it into my themes folder along with an Info.plist to make it display in the lockscreen and in apps.
The contents of that is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 

"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>

<key>StatusBarMode</key>
<string>2</string>

</dict>
</plist>

That is all working fine on SpringBoard and on the lockscreen:



But when i launch an app, it is still there, untill i close the app.
Here is an app open:



It is working fine...
But when i exit the app...



There is no status bar.
If i lock the iPod,,



Still no status Bar.
If i launch the same app:



No status Bar.
The only way i can get it back is by Respringing my iPod.

Any one know why this is happening and how i can sort it out.?

Thanks

Do u have more than one theme selected that have different statusbars?

[Shepp001]

Ermm Yes i have that theme which just has the StatusBar.png in and i have iGlassSol selected. If i deselect iGlassSol theme i still have the same problem.

[REAPERDAGREAT13]

Do u have a widget in that theme as well?

This is a screenie of WinSCP SSH'ed into my ipod.. All i have in the theme folder for the status bar is 2 files..

That's a Winterboard issue caused by Statusbarmode, remove it and it'll be fine

Yeah just delete the plist file

Hi !

[Delete the plist or... ?] .

I never worried about how "SolidStatusBar"-.plist works, Maybe 0 is for transparent, 1 for personnalized and 2 for default ?

Without this, 3 .pngs are needed if you want your StatusBar to be red all the time:

FSO_BG.png
Default_BG
.png
FST_BG.png

(while FST_BG is for the lockscreen, FSO_BG for the springboard and Default_BG for open applications).

They should work in Your.theme/Bundles/com.apple.springboard/
(I was wrong first with /Folders/SpringBoard.app)
with permissions set to 755.



If you can do without the Lockscreen, a StatusBar.png on the root of the theme does the job, too !

Tell the result please ! These machines are full of surprises ^^

I had major probs with StatusBarMode. The way I got around it was to change the Default_BG and all the Default_xxx icons to be the same images as the status bar you want to use
