should still work, it modifies one png in the /system/app/SystemUI.apk which is the png for the flash in the background of the softkey, so the beauty of it is, it will either work or it wont work, but nothing bad can come of it. I'm betting it'll work for sure, unless the xml was edited to pull the background flash png from another place or with another file name, hence the reason i say it'll either work or not work, but nothing bad can happen, so give it a shot and let me know, so i Can add it to the OP.

Fixed in OP, new files added now there's the blue skull as well and the stock image

all three replace both portrait and landscape. ;) thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greenjeans:
How about grabbing some sweet wallpapers, and figuring out how much you need to clip off the bottom, then turning that into your softkey background? Use that background and the associated wallpaper, and I bet it'd look friggin sweet.

I know it wouldn't slide with your wallpaper, but if it was color matched and didn't need to, or with a really nice static wallpaper, it could look sweet.

How about some images from here for starters?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
I'm not entirely sure, what you mean here, the xml for this remains the same its just a png that replaces the blue flash that you already have, so it acutally disappears after touch, not static, I would like to learn how to make it static, i'm sure its possible and not difficult, but its going to require some xml editing, which i'm not familiar with too well in android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greenjeans:
Oh, I see what you mean. I thought this was the softkeys background as a whole, like, the whole black bar. I'd like to make that whole black bar transparent, and see my desktop wallpaper with white softkeys on top.

seems like it doesn't work on 4.0.3. Made my status bar and soft keys disappear completely. Now the whole screen is my homescreen. Gonna have to reflash my rom since I didn't make an nand like an idiot.

EDIT Also this broke the ability to take snapshots. interesting...

EDIT 2 OH ****. Even wiping the phone and installing my rom, the soft keys and status bar is STILL missing. **** ME.

EDIT 3 Fixed it. SystemUI was not being replaced for some reason.

OP - how much detail can be placed in soft key background? Is the image static, or will it only show when you press a button?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abrixxxx:
Would like the stock icons but would like them to be the same ICS color as the clock,signal bars etc.

Spent forever trying to take the imgs out of another zip and put them into a metamorph theme with root explorer and ninja morph, no dice. Got either stock look or no status bar and no soft keys. Running GummyNex 0.2.9 (a 4.0.3 rom)

Thanks for any insight/ making a metamorph of my request :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
Did your green androids will get some blue ones out at some point
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
What makes you say that the cyan stock color is not the same as the notification icons, they look the same to me.

All you have to do to make your own is

1. replace both pngs with exact file names and exact dimensions

2. rename the zip to your liking

3. rename the xml file in the zip to your liking

4. rename the theme name in the xml, I edit it with notepad++

thats all you have to do, i can make them in less than a couple minutes

depending on intricacy of request. Just put new ones out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
As far as I know the black color behind the buttons is an xml setting not an image. These are static yes, and only appear as a background to soft keys during key press.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
Did both for you bro. check the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quinolin:
this whole metamorph thing didn't work for me (currently on AXI0M 2.2). It gave me a black background and all softkeys were gone. Had to flash original systemui.apk to get things back in order. Using RootExplorer I found that the res/drawable-xhdpi was empty except the 2 png's from the zip-file, so somehow Metamorph actually messed things up for me. That also explained why softkeys were gone -- the png's were gone :)

At which point I just edited the original systemui.apk (pulled from ROM) and replaced the 2 appropriate png's with the Steeler's png's OP has provided in one of his DL's. Using RootExplorer, I put the edited systemui.apk into system/app without problem (don't forget to mount as r/w), rebooted, and now everything works, including Steelers' logo popping up when pressing a softkey.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Question for OP (or anyone else for that matter): Is there any (known) way to modify the complete background bar to show a static image? In other words, let's say I want to have the Steelers' logo spread across the whole bar with softkeys on top of it. Is that possible?

TIA for any feedback.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demiserv:
A sharingan and a dragonball set please!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
if your talking about the actual black background of the soft keys being transparent, you have to keep in mind that the actual resolution of the screen does not dip down that low anyways, so even transparency would be... "black" if you know what i mean, and furthermore, if you indeed did maek the screen that big, the soft keys would interfere with screen and look awful.

my solution to this would be to remove the soft keys completely and use the soft keys that are on the side of the phone semi-transparent, just like the one used on the nook, but what your asking, isn't really practical as it wouldn't work the way you think it would, just hoping to shed some light.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
I don't understand what you mean by lightning effect, if your asking for every key to have a different color, thats an xml edit, if your asking for each key to have multiple colors that it cycles through thats also a heave xml edit... mods that would have to be requested from someone on the cm9 team, or maybe Kajar31.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjones1348:
I don't think he's meaning different colors, but a lightning effect for the background that has several colors to choose from- a lightning flash not a lightning bolt but . If you need help I can try and scour the intranets to find an example.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Sorry, allow me to clarify. I would like a picture of a lightning bolt, either horizontally across the key or just branching every direction, and with the colours I was thinking multiple versions of the effect, not multiple colours in the one file.
