I need help from the experts. I cannot find where this png is located that shows the volume changing and the status of a download. I want to change it from green to red to finish off my red incredible themed look.
Can someone point me to where I can change this? Thanks for your help.

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
I'm going for a all blue/black look but the volume bar is green. I'm familiar with the framework.apk and twframework apk and how to swap out images etc but I did some digging around and found that it would have to be edited in an xml file. I'm not familiar or have the know how on how to edit xml files. Would it be possible to just edit that paticular xml file and flash it through clockwork and not have it mess everything up. I'm wanting to change it to galaxy blue or slighty darker if possible. Thanks!
Edit: Or if someone can tell me which xml file it is maybe ill take a stab at it. I wouldn't mind learning. What else is a nandroid backup for anyway;p

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 dont recall seeing the .9.png behind the images name's if it is crap :\ uhh best thing i could think of was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904769 its a myn mod but might work for what he's looking for if i had the chance to get on the pc i could find out but yea basically id have to fight whom ever is on to get on haha hectic man hectic
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.
Alright, so I have got my feet wet with modding the 3.0 lockscreens, and agile lock app. Now I wanna know if it would be possible to put an animated pic in its place. I am new to editing smali, and XML, but really wanna try this. Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction? An example would be like a slow blinking eye. It would be a fun little exercise, but like I said, I am new to this. Would love to take the cm7 logo, and animate it like the boot animation. I don't care how long it takes me, just want to learn. Thanks.

I don't believe that there are moving .png files. These image files in the fusion.apk or any of the others like SystemUI have to be in the .png format. The only way you would be able to get the to work is if the apk would accept a .gif or an .mp4 picture file. I don't believe that's possible however. That's all the help I can really offer.

maybe you should pm FernandoSor he created an animated systemui file.

That's a notification background animation, which you can have done in the UOT Kitchen. You'd need to find how and what is modded to accomplish that, then try it for the lockscreen.
You're right, PM FernandoSor to see if it's even possible.

Thanks guys, will do, he is a heck of a nice Guy.
Can one of you guru's give a noob a hand and tell me what i'm doing wrong.
no matter what i do i can't seem to theme the status bar.
I've created a new statusbar_background.9.png (yes i know .9.pngs are odd)
but i can't seem to actually make the phone take the change.
everything else i try and change shows up with no problem.
i've tried everything i could think of but am sure i'm missing something.
this file (attached) seems to do what i want if i drop it in framework-res on my old phone. or systemui on my tablet.
there is a statusbar_background.9.png in systemui but ????
but on the touch even if i edit the .xml and call it as drawable both as a .9 and a normal .png and i can't seem to make the touch like the change. i don't get a FC i just see the standard black bar. if i just delete the png i do get a fc though so...
I've even tried with a solid red bar just to see if it was the transparency but no go.
is it calling a different statusbar_background from somewhere i just can't find?
Many thanks to the person who tells me how im an idiot

Ahh yes the dreaded 9.PNG file... it drives us themers nuts... it takes special edit which a little more than I can explain here. Search edit 9.PNG and I think you will find threads that will explain it in depth... probably not the answer you wanted but there are people on xda who have explained it much better than could...
thanks i'll give it a few more shots. but i'm fairly certain i created the .9.png correctly as it works on a couple other devices. and all my other .9 edits seem to work as intended. just was wondering if it was possible that it really wasn't the statusbar_background.9.png in systemui.apk that themed the status bar by some chance. as it seemed to FC if i had an incorrectly made png, but boots fine just with no change if i use one i'm pretty sure works.
just wish some themer had skinned the statusbar at all so i'd know it was just me being a mooley
I'm wondering the same thing, as I've changed almost everything else to MIUI style status indicators just by swapping PNG's in the drawable-hdpi folders. Crysis21 uses an HTC style status bar in his SensatioN ROM, and I've downloaded it to search the files and still can't find where the hell the change is made.
Yea just seems to want to foil my every try. It should just be the status_bar.9.png in systemui and mine seems to work on my buddies international s2 but for some reason ........ Dunno it may take me a while but ill figure it out eventually. Unless some kind soul steps in and shows us the answer

Sorry about the format, I wasn't able to upload a zip for some reason, the attached file has all of the drawable-hdpi folder changes I've made. The work isn't my own, only some of the tweaks and proper naming, its from HTC, the MIUI devs, and the brilliant minds (obviously mine excluded) on XDA.
Thanks....gonna try and learn as well. You guys are mch better than i but we all start simewhere right
