Hey everyone,

Does anyone know how to change the color of the status bar text? I have tried googling and looking around and I really don't see much. Ideally someone would have a .plist file that is used with winterboard... Does something like that exist?

Thanks,
:)

You need Flex 2 to get that done, once you buy it search for the patch under Springboard category. it's called "Change Statusbar colors..."

OMG there's a way! Thank you for the response. I shall try this when I have time.

I don't have a "Change Statusbar colors..." in my springboard area on the cloud.

(I'm an amateur with flex 2 =P)

Edit: Think I figured it out :D!! Thanks!

Edit 2: It actually messes up the lockscreen status bar... lol. I shall play with it later.

You can also use Lockify Pro.

That appears to work for the lockscreen color. But the homescreen is the one I want changed. If i use the flex 2 tweak, it seems to push up the lockscreen status bar so it's half out of view - really weird.

Edit: Woo figured it all out!

Combining lockify pro and the flex 2 tweak I can independently control the color of the homescreen and lockscreen status bars! Thank you to all who helped! :)

How? My flex 2 is still causing my status bar color to be cut off
