I'm working on my first theme but I'm having issues figuring out why I cant change some notifications to match the status bar. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I have no idea, but you can try to just strip the background away and leave it transparent an make sure your custom icons are Centered correctly. I haven't had the problem you're having but in theory the transparent method might work.

if you just make the icon bg's transparent then they will still look fine if you change your notibar color (unless u change it to white )
OR
you could open up one of the icons that does match the notibar and copy/paste that gradient to the one you need to fix
also, I don't know if this would create a problem but I always make sure to save icons and such as "save for web and mobile devices" in photoshop

Thank you for you reply, it makes perfect sense. I have no idea why I didnt think of that.

I did try to copy onto a gradient icon that did work. For some reason it still came out wrong as you see on the image.
"save for web and mobile devices" would this help with image size? Currently they are coming out nearly triple of stock. example stock icon=1.31kb modded icon=3.97. I'm sure stripping the gradient will help but is still huge compared to stock.

i use cs5 fireworks for editing all pngs and no change for editing .9's. like neb said you can either find each add'l file and redo filter repeatedly through all the bg's or you can just make them transparent like neb said. He knows what hes talking about.....i know darch needs an evo too neb, but what about yours?

I'm loving it!!!
This thing is frakin amazing!!
Ok so I took out everything except for what I needed. No gradient nothing else left but the white notification icon. Then exported it with "save for web & devices" (this helped on file size thanks) Now what its doing is, icon appears correctly when its slide down into position, but then the icon stock background color gets added on (wrong gradient). Its so quick but I can see it happening.
On the plus side some did change like all battery icons and wifi, but the rest seem to be doing what I explained above very frustrating. Ive attached one of the icon's that I'm working on if anybody whats to help me out.
Rom Fresh 0.3 if that helps any.

Ok, first of all, can someone point me to a screen capture software? I know that smart tool kit can do it, but i dont like all the other things it does. Ok, now on to the thing i *MIGHT* have found.
Each one of the sliding panels has an icon on the top left that represents what its function is for that panel. I found a way to change those icons. Im not sure if this has been done, but if it hasnt i wouldnt mind showing you guys how to change that icon. Once i get a hold of that software, ill take a screen cap to show you guys. The easy way to change them to a color icon is by simply relocating the location of each icon using the registry. Windows Mobile 6 has color icons availalbe of all the white icons we get with a stock WM6.1 device. I dont know why MS or HTC for that matter, chose the plain jane white icons, but i decided to just map them to the color icons in the set that MS includes. Not only does the sliding panels look nice with the NRG icon bar on top, but if you really wanted to change the icons to whatever you want, you can do that. By simply using a PE explorer to view the bronzeres.dll, and moddifing the icons by injecting them in place of the ones you are linking to.
Once again, im not sure if you guys know how to change them or not.
for the software, check your pm's
For screen capture I use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2227563&postcount=14
As far as changing the icons on the panels do you mean like this
Notice that I change the icon when a panel becomes selected.

Exactly like that. I know you can change the icon, like one can be 2301;2300 on the registry so it becomes "active" when you scroll to it. Ive been digging into the .dll's and registry ALOT the past 2 days, ive become....obsessed with it, really. Thats why i thought i might have "discovered" something.
Ive found some "Developer Modes" as well. Enter code *#*#364#*#*, and it displays some info that i dont really understand.

yea and you can also use icons outside of the .dll too.
look at these screenshots and see that they are nothing like the default ones that come in the .dll

Hahaha
very nice Dude, switching up the dlls lol...
Yea i changed all my GF's icons on her Dash. Heres something off topic, after people have seen the WM6.1 and the hacks ive done to my phone, ive made about 6 people buy the S620...lol.
On another note, how on earth do you change the background on the start menu? Ive seen some posts about this buy they all seem either confusing or wrong. Also, is it possible to change the icons on the top when the start menu is showing so that its consistent with the home color icons by NRG?

Can you post up the changes to make to the registry to enable all of these icons you're using? I'm assuming they are the stock WM6.0 icons?
Thanks.

Yea they are all in the chome dll. I dont know what the number of the icons are.
okay so here it is, my official release of this theme. it's still in progress but i figured i'd get it out there so people can leave me feedback and see what they want added/changed. The whole thing is based around a hardcore type of theme but I had no idea where to go with it. It's pretty plain for now but it's a nice look. The notification bar is awesome IMO. If there are any icons or things taken from other themes that I still havent updated or changed to make my own, this is a thankyou to all the other themer's out there.
You can't see from the preview but it has a cassette tape as the VM notification.
It should work with anyone who has a JF RC33 mod (I have JF 1.42 rc33). Don't blame me if you brick your phone.
the battery icon is the black flag logo for an FYI (currently in the picture it's reading 80%)

Looks good so far. If your going for the whole music/mixtape theme I would say change the icons to cassette tapes or CDs with the program name written on there. That would look cool.
nice clean and simple...

that's not a bad idea at all. I was trying to figure out ways for different icons but it's tough when you are trying to like match icons with certain themes..
i'll fool around with some ideas based around the whole cassette tape/cd thing. i'll see how it looks on the phone and such.
for the dialer I had records for the numbers and when you clicked or selected a number it would be a broken record but it wasn't looking right when it was setup so i went with standard buttons for the dialer instead.
where did you get the icons? would be nice to be able to use alternate apps.. I use K9SMS and StarContact instead of Messaging and Contacts
I like the black flag logo. Nice work

i made the icons pretty much. either they were done completely by me or i took an image i found off google and then stripped it and or modified it to be my own and work more with this theme.

The messaging icon is the stock icon without the smiley face and instead of using the white already on the stock icon i used a beige color more towards the colors used in the theme.
i use the stock messaging and contacts, you can do whatever you like to make this theme better fit you. this is how my phone looks. as for using alternate apps, sure, use whatever the hell you want.. you can change any app icon you want using bettercut (or you could manually change it in the apk)
anyone using this theme yet?

I am. I like it. I mainly downloaded it for the dialer screen and the couple of icons that are nice here (browser, battery, vm). I realize that you're still working on it, and look forward to other changes.

1. first off id like to thank Tehseano and Moonsspoon for making the hero theme in the first place and because i used a couple of parts from their theme
2. Stericson for rebuilding the htc music to work on cupcake and for helpin me understand things
3. Beagz for takin the time to help me understand more about xml edits and stayed by ready to answer any questions i had, and for the modifed htc music and music widget
4. sir mez for helpin me to learn what xmls i needed to change to get the desired effects.
5. crotalusfreak because i used some of the dark aspects from his jetblack theme and it gave me the ideas.
6. Thanks To Manup456 For allowing me to modify His Widgets for use with my theme
7. Thanks To rgv151 For his Modified MMS.apk
9. Ted417 and Manup456 For The Skeletal Clock Collaboration
10. Irrenhaus For His Modified Launcher
11. Loccy For His Modified Browser
12. Stericson For His New And Improved Modified Lockscreen
Dark Hero 4.0.4 09/03 Stericson's New Updates To the Lockscreen Also Changed Some Things In It Graphic Wise DO NOT WIPE BEFORE OR AFTER FLASHING AND IF YOU HAVE AN ANALOG CLOCK ON YOUR HOMESCREEN REMOVE FROM HOMESCREEN BEFORE FLASHING
good job on this... but just as a heads up, you should probably add a screen shot of the clock it does come with or mention in the op that the "hero" style clock seen can be downloaded from the market. a lot of people are going to wonder why its not in the theme by default...
There you go clock and music widget it was already in the theme i just didnt think to take a screenshot of it
cool beans... itll saves you the headache of people asking, where can i get that clock widget? and trust me it will come in a flurry like on other threads... have you notice any loss in functionality with this theme on this rom? im going to flash it anyways but i wanted to know if you noticed any yet....
Very cool about to download and check it out. Are the button highlights green or orange? (I guess I'll find out, but other's might want to know.)
no i rebuilt it specifically for this rom because its the one i use
button highlights are actually grey and dark grey
Do you know what is the name of "hero" style clock on the market?

You really shouldn't be putting that "extra" file in there, as it is a paid app. That is against policy to do this.

isn't it coded in xml files of contacts/dialer app or touchwiz?
by the way, the button "1" looks like being a bit higher than the others in that line (or is that on purpose?)

it's in contacts.apk, you have to edit xml file and change the color parameters to whatever you like, forgot wich xml, do a file compare with another modded one and you will find out...

I can help you tomorrow night or tonight depending how you look at it. I'm on EST time zone. Probably after 8pm if nobody helps you by then.
PS... It's not in contacts.apk.
sent from my continuum powered captivate on tapatalk....
Pss..... I believe the image you want to make transparent is "dialer_tab_button_bg_normal.png" located in the dialer apk.
The blue line under it is in twframework-res.apk. Called tw_tab_ss_unselected.png I think. I can't remember off the top of my head.
Hope this helps you.
I really like this and I want it too..!!
In what theme will you use this?? And will you post it here when you are finished??
Tnx in advance
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Finally managed to fix it
Thanks all for helping me
Been wanting this for a while but none came out so I made my own. Came out pretty good I think. All red/black. Even the textbox where u type text messages is blacked out and the letters are white. Just customize further yourself to make it even MORE red and black and it'll look sick.
Here it is! - new as of 9/24 - and WORKING (at least for me) - View attachment REDblack_Minimal_Theme_GO_SMS_v1.5-signed.apk
EDIT: Sorry. Forgot to include install instructions previously. Here they are:
1. Make sure you do NOT have the Go SMS Pule Theme installed on your phone. If you do, remove it. (My theme uses the Pule theme as a foundation, and I'm really not sure how to edit the name lol.)
2. Install my theme.
3. Go into Go SMS and press Menu > Theme.
4. Click on the theme that says "GOSMS Theme Pule".
5. A pop-up will display with the choices of Apply, Update, or Rate. CLICK APPLY!!! DO NOT click Update. NEVER Update this theme, as it will undo the changes I've made to it.
6. My theme should now be applied.
To make it look even better, make sure you go into Appearance Settings on the Menu>Settings screen and change all the backgrounds to black and all the text to red/white.
ALSO, the theme actually came out a little lighter than I thought, looking a bit pink-ish. I might re-do it and darken the reds. I'll post if I do. Hope the instructions help.

Still not working
Hi there. I followed your instructions and removed the Go Pule and once agian tried to install your theme but I am still getting a message stating apk did not install. I went through Root Explorer to try to install the Theme once I removed the old pule theme. Is there some other way or do you know why your APK will not install. Thank you
Any screenshots of this?
i think i posted an unsigned version previously by accident. sorry. updated to a definitely signed and working one. follow same instruction por favor.
screen shot added. not much imagination involved lol...pretty much all black with red and white.
1 thing thats pissing me off badly is that i can't change the color of the send button in chat screens to white. its currently a light purple. so if anyone can change just this for me...i did most of the work here. its not too noticeable tho so still def test this theme out if u like black red white themes.
edit: just noticed, after u press send it changes from purple to white...so not too serious. still kinda detracts something. came out better this time tho. previous version i posted was too light. almot pink. looked redder on my comp. but this one is RED.
Dude..Dude...that is an awesome theme!!!! Major props for this. I currently have my phone on dark carnival theme and this theme for Go SMS only enhances my phone. You did a great job. Thanks lots.
