Ics rom-:

FOR CM9 roms, you need to edit the theme.holo sections of styles.xml

If theme.light on froyo/GB then

theme.holo.light on ICS

forexample, theme.holo.noactionbar(actionbar=titlebar)

But in froyo/gb its theme.notification,,,

Just holo is added in ICS framework

After you end making transparent compile application and flash this framework-res.apk , for finding Hex value visit colorpicker.com

Chooose the guide suites you the best!!

PS. if you are using this guide in your rom make sure there is proper credits to this guide and link

Note-

drawable/yourpicturename means copy your .png file (will be background like in settings.apk) in drawable-mdpi (your device DPI)

Make sure perfect size !!
