is it possible to change a program icons for a custom icon?
I want to create a theme, and have the icons for all programs tie in with the theme.
also - the fonts for the whole phone - can they be changed / coloured?
Cheers

I created my own little gingerbread theme for JPU but got some problems:
I can't manage to change the text color of menus (to white) and the clock (to #919191) in status bar. While I did find a thread on how to change menu and clock color I can't manage to make it work as the compiled apk makes the phone crash.
Could someone please help me get this to work?

Hi all, if the Mods don't mind I was hoping to create a thread where we can all share our Text Icons that we have made or used (as long as we have permission from the original creator).
Many of us use text icons for our launchers (ADW, LauncherProPlus, etc.) as well as for Desktop Visualizer (As a widget) and since a lot of people have been sharing their home screens and asking how it's done, I was hoping this thread can be a repository for those icons.
First, the easiest way to make your own text icon is via Simple Text
It will save your icon you make as a .png file and then you navigate to /sdcard/simpletext/ where it will be located by the text name you gave it.
I also used icons from deviant art (I will post them when I have more time)
Standard Resolutions
ADW EX Launcher Dock: 126x126
Desktop Visualizer 1x1 Widget: 256x256
Anyone know of any text icons using the "Roboto" font? I have the font installed on my computer so I guess I might be able to make some custom ones, but I'm unsure of what the 1x1 resolution is.
How to make Roboto Text Icons using Simple Text:
So go to /sdcard/simpletext
make a folder called "Fonts"
Install(copy) the .TFFs for any font you want to use, in this case I installed all 4 versions of the Roboto fonts (Regular, Italic, Bold,...)
Now, when you go to create an icon through simple text and go to change your font, you should see the Roboto versions (or any other versions) you installed.
Is it possible to replace the button icons with different images? For example depending on the theme you have the Mms icon is different. How can I chose just the icon I want out of the them instead of the whole theme?

This thread has a bunch of icon packs you can download and it also tells you how to change the icons on your homescreen, dock and Appdrawer.
Hope this helps.
Which button(s) are you referring too? If it's on the home screen or dock it's fairly simple when using Go Launcher EX.
Simply long press the icon , wait for the pop-up menu, choose replace and you'll have the option to select Default icon, Theme's Icon or Custom icon.
If it's in the app drawer then it's a little harder as the icons are set within the theme package itself and as far as I know there is no way to change just one icon from here on the fly.
Thanks g4me0v3r.
Hi,
im trying to hide some of the system icons in the notification bar.
I would like to hide the alarm, vibrate and signal icons because they are always displayed and dont provide useful information for me
I replaced the png files of this icons in the SystemUI.apk file with empty (transparent) png images.
This works, but this still leaves gaps where the icons were, like between the clock and the battery.
Is it possible to change the order (like putting the transparent icons to the left), change the size (hiding them by setting the size to 0px) or to hide them completly?
I followed this tutorial to display some of the xml files in the SystemUI.apk but i did not find anything that looks like it changes certain system icons.
Im using Virtuous Affinity 2.05 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5).
Remaining somehow unsatisfied with the available (free and paid) themes, I actually wonder how to edit lets say the background of the menus or the font colour by myself.
I mean, there are some great creations available but their numbers are small (new device, ok, that might change) and with every one of them I found things which don't look good or are less useable than desired and would require only small changes.
This is not to criticize the creators of the current works but mainly a plea to receive some kind of tool or help regarding small changes to an existing theme. Other than the icons or the wallpaper, the phone's apps don't allow for changing much.
So, to list:
- Change menu background
- Change font colour, perhaps text outline (mainly in menus)
- Change transparency of widgets
- Change colour of "enabled" vs. "disabled" sliders and buttons
- Change icon style (means if they are round, squared, etc.)
Things I've found so far, which may apply to the G7: How to change the nav bar colour. (that's a link from the mini review)
Edit:
Would SystemUI Tuner help? From the description, it does touch on UI items (hence the name) but wouldn't allow for the changes I've listed, no?
