When i mod framework-res.apk changing color of some png files results in shape deformation.Its espesialy true when changing color of button png's and homescreen folder png's(top folder part comes out too large and out of shape).
I understand that this is due to some png files containing meta-data.My question is there anway to change the color of these png's without loosing their original shape?
sounds like to me your editing .9.pngs with out running the .9.png threw draw9patch

Its either in the framework.res or the htc.resources files.
Open the res folders and find the png that is just green highlights. Then edit all those to red, you probably need to do this anyway.

thats my problem i have extracted both of them and still no dice.
I'm having trouble finding those pngs too. I'm trying to find them in CM6 but they aren't in Framework from what I see. I thought they might be in settings but they aren't in there either.
been searching all around for this as well
found this:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/60280-theming-guide-progress-bar.html
its actually not a png
the process is a bit involved, but it works. and once you figure out how to make it work, its not that complicated
i just did it and am going to upload a new version of my cm6 nightly theme
Okay, I've just ported over a few themes to the ultimate droid 2.1.0 and in the transition, my menus font is white on a white backgroud. I cannot see the font unless I use the trackball and highlight it. Would anybody be willing to show me what files to change that or even better help me by changing them for me? I am not a themer by any means and am just looking for a little help thanks.

Nobody knows how to do this? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks
It's in the colors.xml I think .
It may be in values folder.
Once you decompile the
framework.apk
Not at a computer or I could give you a better idea.

halfway there
Ok, I've extracted the framework-res file to my PC... I located the colors folder and now i'm in need of help on how to edit the file to make the font black instead of white... What program do i use to edit the file, and how do i repack the framework-res to insert back to the phone? Any help

Cheers, exactly what I was looking for while themeing my SGS
Hi, it's just that i want to change the font colour of my rom (it's still is in beta mode and i haven't post it, but it'll soon come). My rom is based on the framework of the nexus s and its systemui.apk so everything is the same, but when im at any place and i press the button left to the home button, and it displays the extra options, the extra options are in the same colour as the font (black) and i can't see it. I would just copy the xml files on the nexus s framework (i suppose it's located there), but its far better if i learn how to change it myself. I'm a bit noob at rom cooking, and i know the basics, how to edit the framework, edditing apk's appearance, cooking it, making it into a flasheable zip, but the thing i don't know is how to this.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
If I'correct then in twframework in /res/values should be xml file color.xml and in there should be color hex code with most colors used in theme or in /res/drawable is quite few xml files for some menus. You edit xml with some better editor. Hope this can jelp a little rrst will theme modders add

I'm looking for the png or xml that controls the white background for this menu. Found the icons that are in the menu but not the background itself
Thanks for the help guys. They are pngs in the framefork-res.apk= drawable-hdpi= and they are menu_submenu_background.9, menu_background_fill_parent_width.9 and menu_background.9
But now i have a new problem. Does anyone know how to change the text color? I need it either white or even red.
The menu background color will be located in an xml file in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Not sure the file but it will be controlled by a theme xml
That is a png it is most likely in a sub folder you have to look just because menus are in drawable-hdpi doesn't mean that the menu base is ill try and find it and edit post when I do
Edit its in drawable-hdpi search menu its there you have to really look though
Are you sure that you didnt just find the .9.pngs? i am pretty sure the color itself is controlled by the XMLs as well though wouldnt bet my life on it.

i know how that is when i searched menu all i got where the .9 files and the icons for settings etc. You could be right and i am just missing it if you are thats awsome i could get into modifying the menu background to have cool graphics as well then for my phone pretty easily. If you get the chance or someone finds out for sure please let us know.

Text color is def in xml files. Also as a warning make sure you are correctly modifing the .9 files if you treat them like plain. Png files you will likely have problems down the road.

Yup yup looked in pretty much every Xml in htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk and i'm starting to think that i'm looking in the wrong place. Maybe it's in a .jar?
I already got the .9 pngs made up and they are about 90% transparent. That is why i need to change the text color cuz u cant really see it now.

They both work, thanks guys. They work. I like the app switcher too. The mototheme looks sweet, I have to ask, is there a way I can have the stock battery icon, or have the battery without percentage??

battery is with percentage can't just remove it
Just download theme and take battery icons from SystemUI
Now I don't know a lot about theming or anything. So how would I replace the battery icon?.. :good:

if you know how to decompile/compile
Use battery xml's under drawable folder
stat_sys_battery.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
and replace the same xml's under the same folder name in SystemUI.apk
then take all the battery icons inside drawable-xhdpi folder and remove "com_android_systemui_" from icons name so the battery icon new name should be stat_sys_battery_0 and so on, and put the new icons under the same folder name "drawable-xhdpi" in SystemUI.apk

Oh, gotcha. So do I use an image also? Or what? Should I go and download other battery icons, and remake them in the same SystemUI.apk?

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. Replace original xml's and icons with the once inside rar file "attached"
3. Compile
4. Flash using and flashable zip
Note: You should have empty flashable.zip
You should use your ROM SystemUI.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?x3td1tt2ch3sif8
Edit: I attached Flashable.zip, use it and place the new SystemUI.apk under "system/app/"
