How to change font color - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone tell me where to change the menu font color? For example on settings and app settings.

It's a long and convoluted process that would essential force you to create your own theme. Thus, I suggest checking out the theme/app section to see if there's something that better suites your needs

Yeah, there is no built-in option for it.

I already have a theme that I have been putting together but need to know how to change the font color. Should meantion that I am deodexed also.

There is a stickie on top of Themes which explains changing colors. It has to do with changing hex codes.
Do you BONSAI?

Black Aero Theme

How can I change the color of the bars in the Aero.tsk theme? The default is the color teal. Anyone knows how to change it to black?
hey friend!
u should use Basehue!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color
Scroll down until you see "BaseHue". Open it and change the number value to 160. Press ok at the top and you're done.
If you don't have a registry editor on your wm6 rom, then find one.

[Q] setting background color, how to change?

I want to change the background color of the settings menu from my SGS. It's black now (in every theme, stock or custom).
Anyone know which png file I have to change? Or is this a color described in a color XML file?
I hope someone can help
Kind regards,Vintiem
Really nobody know's? (maybe the reason that also every custom made theme has that standard black background).
Someone knows where I possibly can find my answer?
Kind regards,
Vintiem

Take a look inside settings.apk - I believe there's a bg file in there (haven't tried changing it)...
Edit: Now I can't find it. Hmmm, sure I saw it somewhere...
When there's no png for background it can be .xml related.
You need to decompile Settings.apk to edit .xml-files...
what's the best xml editor?
No one knows which xml doc I have to take to change the background colors?

use adw launcher ex
I have ADW launcher ex. But you can change just a few things instead of what I excepted. it's not crap but absolute not what it says: change almost everything!!
So I think I have to live with that ugly black background because no one can tell me how to change it.

yeah prob, but i forgot to say font color...smh
ok i figured out that the certain font colors im trying to change is dependent on what you click on --> apps, games, movies (the tabbed color on the main screen next to the selection) matches the color of the font after you click on the section you choose & i want 2 versions one all red one all white & i have no idea how these are changed bc it matches the .9.pngs that are the colored tabs for the selections, so i dunno if it reads the color for the fonts from the .9.pngs or if its separately controlled by a xml file

how to make a "light" theme

i really like how the people app looks in ics
can i edit framework to change the settings menu background to the white color in the people apk? as well as change the text to black so i can actually see it? maybe even make the dialer have a white background as well. thanks for any help i would love to make ics more of a "light" theme.
EDIT: is it possible to change the image in frame work labeled (not sure on the name) holo_background_dark.png, if i did replace this how to i change the font to be dark as well
a lot of text issues arise when making a white theme. more so than just changing the text color in framework and sysui
It's possible, of course, but the fact that you are asking those questions warrants the answer 'but not advisable for YOU to mess with it'.
It's not simple as 'changing one background/text color'.
Edit: if you are really determined to do it, take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

thank you for the guide.
my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?
if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.

[Q] Can you change the notification Bar Clock Colour?

Is there a way to easily change the notification bar clock colour?
I have used the UOT kitchen but this isn't one of the features that you can change.
Cheers Rob
If your phone is rooted and your rom is compatible you can use RCTeam Tweaks!

pretty sure it's one of the features you can change...made mine blue
Status bar --> check 'use this mod'
scroll down a bit, then check 'topbar text' --> change your colour
this question would have been more appropriate in the actual UOT thread, but never mind...
Sorry but it was never meant as just a UOT problem but more of a "is there ANY way of doing it?"
By the way I already tried this and everything else turned a different colour except the clock which stayed white.
I also used the Cyanogenmod theme picker which had the same result.

so when using the kitchen, in the preview pane, does it show your new clock colour as well as all your other customisations? but after flashing only the clock colour does not apply?
hmm then that is strange
i've not use the cyanogen theme picker, but have used the kitchen to change the clock colour for cyanogen on an htc wildfire.
perhaps try uploading your framework.res and systemUI files manually rather than using the kitchen list.
or if you're already doing that and if it still doesnt work, cos it's definitely possible using UOT, ask in that thread providing your UOT file number, the dev is usually very helpful.
