Okay here we go. Follow my directions and you will have no problems. If the status bar is TOO transparent, let me know and I will make you another one and send you the images. This might seem long but I like to be as detailed as possible. Take your time and follow directions.
First off make a backup of your ROM if you dont already have one. You can NEVER be to safe when messing with your phone. 9/10 you can fix your phone no matter the problem as long as you have backups.
Download this first

-This tool will enable you to push and pull files from your phone to your computer very easily. Assuming you are rooted that is?
Download 7Zip

-This is a normal zip program but works well with .apk files, android install files, to where you can add to and delete files without ever extracting anything.
Download your NEW images
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6619465/Status Bar Images.zip
-First thing you will want to do is install 7zip and Android Commander. Then extract the Images Zip. you should have 2 folders, Framework and systemui. The Framework-res folder contains your battery and other various icons. The systemUI contains the majority of the status bar icons and the status bar itself.
-Put your phone into USB debugging mode and internet connection under usb. Open Android Commander.
*You should see this. Notice is says "Root access OK" at the bottom? If it doesn't, you wont be able to install or "push" any files to your phone because you are "soft" rooted. If that's the case we will need to go another route, but continue all the steps below except for the "push" part obviously.
-On the right side is your phone files and on the left side is your computer files. Navigate to system/framework and COPY framework-res.apk. It should copy to C: as the default. Next navigate to system/apps and COPY systemUI.apk.
-Next go to C: on your computer, or where the "copies" were saved to. Make 2 NEW folders. One called "framework" and the other called "SystemUI" and paste the correct files in each. That way there is no confusion of where what goes.
-Let's start with the framework-re.apk first. Right Click on the .apk and click 7zip-open archive. You should see this.
-Double click "RES". highlight "drawables-hdpi" and extract it. Go to the folder you just extracted and open it up. You will see a bunch of png images in the folder.
-Open the folder you downloaded from ME, framework-res, and copy all of the actual Png images inside of it. Should be 223 images. Paste those images to your "drawables-hdpi" folder you just unzipped. It will ask you if you want to "Copy and replace". Click the box "do this for all" and click ok.
-Next. Copy the "framework-res.apk" file you pulled from your phone, should be in C:, and paste it on your desktop. This will be your "backup" in case anything goes wrong or if you want to revert back. I would suggest making a folder on your desktop entitled "backup" so you dont get confused which is which because it's very easy to get confused.
-Right click on the framework-res.apk located in C: and click 7zip-open archive. Double click "RES". highlight the "drawables-hdpi" folder and delete it. Drag the "drawbles-hdpi" folder you just copied all your new images to, over to the zip window. It will ask you if you want to add it or combine it, click yes. You should see the drawables-hdpi folder now within the zip window.
-That's it. This is your NEW framework-res.apk with the new images. Navigate, on Commander, to system/framework and drag your NEW framework-res.apk over to the window on the right. It will ask you where do you want to put it, click on RIGHT SIDE.
-Now do the EXACT same thing for SystemUI.apk located in the system/apps folder in Android commander. Follow the steps and copy and paste the images from the SystemUI folder you downloaded from me. Drag it over to commander and you will be done.
-Reboot your phone and everything SHOULD be working as normal. Congratulations. You just edited your own theme. Not so hard is it. Gets easier once you get the hang of it and see how everything works.
-IF YOUR PHONE DOESN'T BOOT UP. DONT PANIC.
Turn your phone off and open Android commander. Turn your phone on. Once it starts to boot up, it will show up on Android Commander. Go ahead and open it up in Android Commander.
Remember those BACKUPS you made? Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. Copy (Push) those backups over to their respected folders in commander (system/framework and system/apps) and your phone should continue to boot up as normal.
I doubt this will happen but sometimes it does. These folders are sensitive and if ONE thing is off it messes everything up and it wont act right.
If everything does work and you want to make some changes let me know.
