I threw together a quick theme yesterday after getting tired of seeing the standard blue icons in my status bar. And before I forget, a big thanks to meth79 for sharing his extracted shared artwork files. Couldn't have done it without those.

I'd always been a fan of the black and white simplicity of the lock/home screen status bars:



and it never made sense to me that the silver bar had blue icons:



so now I have this, and the effect is that the status bar and its icons simply invert:


Note that this is only for the status bar; it's not a complete theme by any stretch. I did put some IntelliScreenX icon in there, but didn't include the red ribbon that I use for my OpenNotifier notifications. (It's available hereif you want it.) If anyone else is interested in using it, download from the link in this post. It's not much, but I wanted to be able to offer something to macthemes. Feel free to mod it, etc.

Looks very nice on the phone except the wi-fi bars look weird at the top. There is a spot on the third bar of them.

I'll take a look in a bit—all I did was take the images and adjust the curves, I didn't actually draw any of the icons.

can you please tell me what is the red bookmark thingy on your status bar?
and where do i get that? thank you=]

In going back to look at the wifi icons, I realized that when I converted the wifi bars to black, they ALL got filled in completely--so even if you only had 1 bar, it still shows 3. I've corrected that in the zip that can be downloaded here: BlackStatusIcons

Sorry 'bout that.

The wi-fi bars are still jacked. Look at the screenshot.

I'm not sure what you mean by "jacked"? Are you talking about the shadow effect on the top bar?

Nice! Thanks for this!

Does anyone know how to get black icons on the lock screen/home screen too?

Between the top and middle bar on the silver it creates a dot.

Hmm, I guess I just don't see it. Here's a blowup of the above screenshot; what should I be looking at?

I dont see the problem either..

Looks great! Thank you!

You're welcome!

Do you want just the black icons, or do you want black icons on the silver bar? (Usually the lock and home screens use a different status bar than the one these icons were made for.)

To get the black icons, basically all you need to do is make copies of the black icons in the theme, and then rename those copies with the names of the icons that are usually the white icons...you can find those names in the Shared Artwork folder I linked to in the first post; the lockscreen/springboard versions are the ones that are called WhiteOnBlackEtch.

Just bear in mind they'll probably look odd if you don't also change the status bar itself...

So I tried this, and it ended up looking like crap. The shadows were white and the little lock in the middle of the top of the screen was white ( using lockscreen clock hide )

Oh well...

Anyone still have this? All the download links say the file's gone. Thank you very much! This work is very pleasing to me.

Still available here; I believe that was the last version I uploaded.
