[REQ] Themeable Drawer

Not the button, the actually drawer where the apps are stored. I was wondering if someone could make a drawer where you could theme it without having to go into the actual .apk file to work on it.
First off god your ugly second I think that's one of the nest things the guy from adw launcher is gonna work on if I find where i read it or imagined it i'll let you know
YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!.....lol nice and thanks dude.
With ADW.Launcher you can change the background color and transparency. If you move it to system it's only one file you need to change for a metamorph or other.

Need help theming

Does anyone know what XML is responsible for the pop-up menu text color?
See screenshot.
I'm pretty confident it is in framework-res.apk, beyond that I am not sure.

In all honesty, I don't think you answered his question...but good try (I think). He's referring to the XML file within that APK you mentioned that is responsible for the text colors in the homescreen menu options.
I still have to practice how to swap icons. I just want to change the spinning icon...
You're right, I am pretty confident that I didn't answer his question. The only reason to believe that the xml is in framework-res.apk is the fact that the icons and menu_background are also in framework-res.apk. I have found that although the icons are there, doesn't necessarily mean that the layout/colors/etc. are controlled by that apk.
For example, if you open com.htc.resources.apk you will find a ton of icons associated with the HTC Sense Dialer, but the color & layout are stored in phone.apk and HtcDialer.apk separately. I say all that to say this, I am pretty confident that you are looking for /res/values/styles.xml or maybe /res/values-hdpi/styles.xml in a decompiled framework-res.apk but 1) can't be sure that this is the correct xml to edit or 2) that the text color is even an xml edit.
So again, +1 to wanting to know how the text color is changed.
Nobody knows? All these theme experts and nobody helps....
Awesome!

[Q] setting background color, how to change?

I want to change the background color of the settings menu from my SGS. It's black now (in every theme, stock or custom).
Anyone know which png file I have to change? Or is this a color described in a color XML file?
I hope someone can help
Kind regards,Vintiem
Really nobody know's? (maybe the reason that also every custom made theme has that standard black background).
Someone knows where I possibly can find my answer?
Kind regards,
Vintiem

Take a look inside settings.apk - I believe there's a bg file in there (haven't tried changing it)...
Edit: Now I can't find it. Hmmm, sure I saw it somewhere...
When there's no png for background it can be .xml related.
You need to decompile Settings.apk to edit .xml-files...
what's the best xml editor?
No one knows which xml doc I have to take to change the background colors?

use adw launcher ex
I have ADW launcher ex. But you can change just a few things instead of what I excepted. it's not crap but absolute not what it says: change almost everything!!
So I think I have to live with that ugly black background because no one can tell me how to change it.

All these colors are in /res/values/style.xml
look for icon menu
list view
and any other menu instances that have that light grey, looks to be pretty close to white, maybe cccccc
make them black and youll be good to go.

[Q] Dev/Themer Question XML and Image to edit??

Ok so I've managed to edit a few of my apks on my phone to something that I like better and that's been easy because i knew the files I needed to edit would be in the apk itself. With me so far?
So now I want to edit some files on the ROM I'm using, but this is where it gets tricky, because I dont know if I need to edit the framework, SystemUI, or Roise, etc.... to get what I want.
So... here is my question: Attached is an image of my menu that pops up when I git my Meny button on my Evo. You'll notice my icons are pulled from another Rosie.apk which I replaced with my current Rosie.apk. I had to pull edit and push this mod because flashing it was not compatible with my current ROM. So now, that i have the icons I want, I want to make the background of this menu (and possible others) black transparent and the text white. I know this can be done because I've seen it and would like to know which files need to be edited.
Does anyone know that could toss me a bone??
I've also posted this on Android Central, but no one seems to know there...
for the menu background color it should be either menu_background or menu_background_fill_parent_width both in framework-res.
For the text color i dont know but poke around the .xmls in framework or ask here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468254&page=283
