Changing highlight/select color

So the rom/theme I'm using uses green for a highlight/select color, but I like the blue (or possibly purple or something for some). I was wondering what elements where would need to be edited?
It's not the only thing I'd want to edit, so really the starting point should be sufficient.

You need to read the how to theme threads. Your awnsers are in there. The green highlights arte either controlled by images or xml code. Everything is found in the framework-res.apk that would need to be changed. In order to edit an xml file you need to de compile the apk. Images can just be dragged and dropped using 7zip our winrar

The theming how to has been really great so far, there is a section of the How To that lists all the tools you will need her. I am working on switching my color from blue to red! I am playing with shades of red and trying to figure out a way to change the highlighting shape on the keypad.. want to change it from a square / rectangle to a star.

I cracked open the framework-res from emotionless today, gonna have to try it on my desktop instead of my netbook so I can do editing. Thanks for the link, think I stubled across it (way too many sites/forums and some are so nonspecific)
My next challenge is bootani, I broke the one on baked snack 1.6 somehow.

Themes??

Will there ever be any other themes for the starburst rom?
I was just thinking the same thing!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
What are you guys looking for, particularly? I've got 3 themes compatible with Starburst.
ObsidianRed, ICS Theme, and Ciano Theme.
And ive used all 3 of your themes. You do GREAT work especially on your ICS theme...just remember with the evo there were ALOT more choices for themes. Any chance you are working on a honeycomb theme or are all the developers over honeycomb?? TIA Overstew!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
If this can be ported ( Put into a theme ) not the Rom, would be great!

Do you or anyone have a list of TW only apps? I have restored a lot of other system apps like Sprint Live Football and Nascar with no problem. That and the tiny freakin icons in the notification bar are the only things keeping me from running it more than a few hours, oh and the lower volume too.

Not really but as for the notifications flash a theme some have larger icons. Also go in the sound and turn the media volume up all the way the system sounds follow the media volume...?... just look for some themes the good ones cost but there's few free ones that are cool I use the crystal cm7 theme by darkdog. Has a lot of cool icons and the themed xda is awesome. Just stay on cm7 you'll get used to it it grows one you trust me...

I meant how does the reply differentiate, is it lighter gray? Seen a theme where both parties were in black. I want to see differences at a glance.

I grabbed that color note just before that was posted. Not bad. But CM7 hasn't been working out for my phone anyway. Maybe CM9 will be better.

i used to use simple notepad cause it would export to sd as a .txt file.. then i realized i kept losing notes (Hi my name is Pvt.Joker, and I'm a Flashaholic!) so i went for the auto sync'd albeit slower route of using google docs to write my notes.. just a thought..

(THEME)unNamedICS1.0

For all who are still using unNamed rom. Still super stable and has not seen any updates.
My theme consists of all the good stuff pulled from other devs! Credit goes to overstew for most of his images and I believe the battery is from icsdomination. And most of all thanks to playya for helping me and I originally used his theme as a base to work off of.
Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash like you would any other theme

Yea I was diagnosis.g that problem last nite. Are you running a battery saver script or under volting? Crt animation off does not like under volting. As soon as I put stock under volt that problem does not happen
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Also if there is no under volting involved and problem persists. Might have to flash playyas framework rotation fix. Easy.
Which launcher are you running? Touchwiz or third party?
Edit....I'm running calks latest battery saver script with the new first 5 seconds is Max CPU speed and stock undervolt....

I can confirm this as being correct. It's no different in FF11, FE22 or any of the other ICS TouchWiz builds from Sammy.
Forgot to mention im on the tw laucher and i dont see any option to edit. When using the standard launcher that will change it, but you go back to the el29 style of touchwiz
