Like those?

You have to use a custom theme .jar to change the progress bar. I went over this in the Custom Themes: https://github.com/Vinylwalk3r/JDownloader-2-Dark-Theme#customthemes

You need to follow the second set of Instructions at the above link/page to get the Green Progress Bars also. The first set of instructions do everything else but that.

Hello,

How can I customize the color of the progress bar myself? The green looks quite bright compared to the rest of the theme.

I would prefer the same green like in the top right corner where the download speed is shown. How do I achieve that ?

Well, it's suprisingly easy when you know how. What we godda do is:

  1. Go to pathtoyourjdownloaderinstall\libs\laf
  2. Make a copy of syntheticaBlackEye.jar and paste in the same directory
  3. In this example, we rename syntheticaBlackEye.jar to syntheticaBlackEye.jar.bak (you could edit any theme you want, but you have to use the exact name of the theme you replace. This time, I edited the Blackeye)
  4. Download and edit the progressbar images to your liking. (If you want an animation, edit them individually, each image is one frame of the animation. If you only want a solid color or still image, just edit one image and then make copies and rename them accordingly so JD2 can show them)
  5. Now open our .jar file with a program like WinRAR or 7Zip. NOT THE BACKUP ONE!!!
  6. Navigate in the file to /de/javasoft/plaf/synthetica/blackeye/images/
  7. Paste our edited progressbar images here. Overwrite the once already there.
  8. Close WinRAR and restart JD2
  9. YOUR DONE!

Hope that helped. Will include instruction in main description as well.

I'm still struggle to get the green progress bar to work on windows. There is no 'syntheticaBlackEye.jar' in ..\JDownloader 2.0\cfg\laf\ so copied the one downloaded here to 'laf' folder then restarts jd2 but nothing happens, still showing the classic blue stripes bar. any tips?
