If you change that background to black, how does one make the text appear white?

You have to edit the text color in the classes.dex file inside /system/framework/services.jar
i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?
Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png
zz_unlock_lockbg_press.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?
Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

hi guys
i just want to ask if there's an available app or flashable zip that can remove the clock from the status bar?
i've search the threads but i only found 1 but only applicable to gingerbread.
i'm currently using an ls8 based rom from biftor

Doesn't matter which launcher you used.
systemUi and launcher are both different system apps.

i tried installing apk multi tool
and read some instructions on how to edit the systemui but i always get stuck at decompile apk.
"an error occured pls check the log"
some tutorials even says that we should set the max size or option 22.
i get lost in it

i tried alliance mod looks great but the toggles are not my style and you have to use on of the toggles so that your preferences would reflect. also it interferes with the multiwindow of the biftor rom that i'm using.
i also tried the alliancerom but same problem with toggles. the settings look also changed. i'm aiming for a more stock like look.
but thanks for the recommendation, at first i really liked the customization but it just didn't suit my taste.

Use Notepad++ (google and download it, it's free) if you have windows on your PC.
recompiling
hi dr30ma
i'm really not sure if i've done everything correctly.
in decompiling i keep on getting an error occured
but i checked projects folder, the systemui directory is there
so i looked for the tw_status_bar.xml file and made the changes u listed by just using notepad. i'm not really sure if this is correct but i tried it anyway.
now when i go back to script in apktool, i press 11 to recompile apk. but there is again an error.
i tried to look for the keep directory but it does not appear. so i think i wasn't successful.
any help would be appreciated. tia!

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

Try some custom text apps from Xposed. XBlast can put text next to clock, (screenshot), but there might be others that will do it better.
There is a books value in the SystemUI, have you tried changing that.

Decompile your SystemUI, go to the values folder and open the bools.xml and look for...
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorNameInStatusBar">[B]false[/B]</bool>
...change it to...
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorNameInStatusBar">[B]true[/B]</bool>
...and it should display your operator.
I can't find that with root explorer, I'm sorry I'm a rookie, but here is my Sistemui.apk
