How to change the text color of the Call progess + incoming Call screens?

Hey everyone,
I just spent over an hour searching for the way to specify the text color on the Call Progress screen of my WM6.1 Dash.
All the posts mention how to change the background image, but I could not find anything on how to specify the text color in this screen.
The new WM6.1 ROM for my dash uses white text for the call progress, so that means the background images for these screens have to be a kinda dark color - meaning I have to keep picking a new color that matches the current scheme I'm using.
I'd rather have a white background for call progress screen and the text to be black (like it was in the org t-mobile WM6 ROM for my dash)
Any ideas?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Help with UOT Kitchen - Notification Text Color

Hey Everyone,
I successfully used UOT Kitchen to change battery icon, status bar text color, change the default font on my phone, change pop-up colors, make my drop down notification black and semi-transparent.
However, the one thing that doesn't work is the text on the notification pull down bar is black which is of course unreadable on a black semi-transparent background.
I changed it in UOT Kitchen to Blue. Then I tried doing it over again and changed it to Orange. The end result is still black.
Any help would be appreciated.

Next time please post this questions in the Q/A area:
But from what you are saying the test for "ongoing" notifications are staying black right? like music and things of that nature??? that is because the texts is stored in there own apk. so if you want to change the color of the text you will need to take apart the apk for each app that uses the "ongoing" notification area.
I think I got it
First off, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Thanks for answering and not kicking me out! It won't happen again.
So basically, since the HTC Inc is supposed to have a white pull down notification, most apps make their text black and it would have to be changed in each app (text messaging, google voice texts, etc).
I did run the app Cache Cleaner which posts its results in the notification and they surprisingly showed up in the color (blue) that I had chosen in UOT. But nothing else has, so I guess I just need to change my background color to white or something that works with black text.
Thanks,

No worries on the kick. i dont flame.
The notifications are broken down into 2 groups. "ongoing" and "notification". If its a notification that is controlled by the framework-res.apk it will be themed from the UOT most market apk and gapps use the ongoing section so they are held within there respected apk. the only way around it is to do what you said. have a white bg or if you go and change each apk. sorry. :/
guys i used the UOT kitchen, could i replace the mod'd framework-res.apk by jus using the root explorer?? i mean paste it in the system folder den set permissions n then move it to the system/framework/ folder??
Had this issue to. Tried everything to change the text color with no luck. I finally gave up and settled for a transparent white pulldown. It dosent look to bad but is a bit of a contrast from my mostly black transparent theme.

[Q] Change notification colors

Is there a way to change the background colors or the text colors of the notifications. For example, the CNN app uses black text, but the background is also dark grey, so I can't read anything that is displayed. If someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
