I would like to know where the background for the htc twitter, calendar and friendstream widget is located and how to change it. Any help would be great
I'm very experienced themeing vanilla android but pretty new to sense.
I have already decompiled each apk in system/app and decompiled framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk to look for whatever png or xml that controls the background and i still cannot find it. The only htc widget that has the background in the actual apk is the music one and i have already edited that. Please any help would be great.
Yes i know this should be in Q&A but i have already posted a month ago with no takers, that is why i'm posting here
Bump!!!
anyone...anyone at all who can help
I don't have the answer you're looking for, but I know someone who might be able to help you.
He is a Spainish guy from the Desire rom development site called NeoPhyte and he always makes his mail/bookmarks/contacts etc widgets semi transparent, so maybe you can send him a message and ask him...?

Yes looked in framework-res.apk but im 100% sure its not in there looked in htc.resources.apk and could not find it. I'm pretty sure its in htc.resources.apk as a png or xml file but for the life of me i cant find it. I even looked in the individual apk's in system/app and the only widget that has a backround in its apk is the htc music widget and i already edited that.
I'm pretty experienced in themeing vanilla android but not sense..... So if any experienced people know exactly what png or xml controls the htc widgets background please let me know
I was wondering if anyone could take the slick smoked glass background from the apk I posted and modify the newest version of smooth calender widget with it. The new version has a much nicer calender icon (Attached Below). The old version on the apk has an icon that looks kind of tacky. I've looked but I cannot seem to figure out how to modify this particular app.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can give a hand.
Wow, with all the amazing themers on this site nobody can give me any pointers or help me mod one simple app?
Maybe wait a bit more than 4 hours before you get discouraged.

4hrs? I think you missread the post times, This was posted a day ago. There have been over 50 views already. I'm not trying to be rude, nor am I expecting somebody to have to do it for me. I merely asked if someone with more expertise than me could either mod it or at least help me to do it. With over 50 views you would think someone would have said it can't be done or at least pointed me in the right direction.
I'm not sure if the newest version has added functionality etc. that you would also want, but if alll you want to do is change the icon you should be able to use APK Edit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890876) to update the older version with the newer icon. Hope this helps

smooth calender is a widget, I know how to change icons, this widget does not have a drawable-hdpi folder like most of the others. I'm looking to change the background of the most recent smooth calender widget from the matted black to the smooth smoked glass that is in the apk I provided in the OP, I just don't know how to do it on this particular app.
If that is not possible, I would like the icon I provided to replace the on that is in my provided apk, only problem is I don't think that would work because smooth calender changes the date each day on the icon.
Is there anyone that can at least give me some pointers?
Hi recently i decided to try make my own theme basicly ive added some of the icons from one of the desire hd pack (themes,alexdiaz) to the rom of my choice however im missed a few icons which are still grey as shown in uploaded pictures and after spending a couple of hours looking i still cant find them. I was hoping someone may be able to point out where in framework or other file(s) the icons i need are or need to be thank you
first pic is complete , second pic need people and blocked callers + tips .png fourth picture need slideshow and set at third icons colour
any help appreciated thank you
***edit can del post all sorted now
I've been serching for the answer to this question for the last couple days now. Hopefully one of the devs can assist me with this issue.
The status/notification bar on the stock JB ROM is grey in color, I am looking for a way I can change that to black. I know there are apps in the market that can do this but I dont want another app running in the backgroud just to modify the color of my status/notification bar. Can somone please tell me what .png's I need to edit and what xml files (if any)?
Are the files in SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk.....etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I have this figured out I'll make a flashable .zip and post it for others to use. Or, if there is another thread that already explains this please let me know.
No reply's? I know somebody can shed some light on this for me. I have done more than enough 'searching' of threads and google. I need some help peeps.
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to modify the background of the sense 5 weather clock (the one that flips with the weather juuuust below it) not to make it transparent like everybody else is doing. I'm trying to theme it to go with a modified app drawer image and navigation bar image. The problem is I don't know which files to edit in order to do that. Could anyone here give me some advice or pointers?
Yes I have searched for a guide or tut to do it but all I find is people supplying one they made or pointing at a thread that has them already made. I would like to do this myself though.
Thanks in advance for any help
Have you heard of sense 5 toolbox? You can set transparency of many items...

Where is that image? I took a look inside of the prism apk but found nothing by that name.
But for everyone else reading, I'm not looking for transparency, I'm trying to overlay another image over, thus changing how the panel looks.

Are you talking about the panel where the weather condition is ?
That is common_panel.9.png in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Changing this will affect the widgets background too
Thats the one!!!

YES THAT'S THE ONE!
Just in case I added a screenshot, I circled the panel jsu so that everyone knows what I'm talking about. I found that common_panel.9.png but it's basically just a circle?
What I want to do is make that panel look like the navbar you see in the image I attached, if it's just a circle then it might not work or be possible.
Nobody have any ideas?
Does nobody here have any ideas on how to achieve this?

In both Sense 5 and Sense 5.5, the png is indeed found in the resources apk. It is the common_panel.9.png and it can be themed but only basically. The best you can do with it is make it with a border either transparent or semi. However, depending on how skilled you are with editing xml, you could put a custom PNG in the drawable folder and edit the layouts to navigate to that specific image. That way your newly themed image will be used and not the common_panel.9.png. If you look at my theming thread from Sense 5.5, you'll see what I mean.
