I want to find the little semi transparent oval that surrounds an app name when it's place on a homescreen and get rid of it, but I can't find the png file. I assume it's in either framework-res.apk or com.htc.resourses.apk...can anybody tell me what it's called, or if I'm looking in the wrong place? and when I find it, can I just delete it or do I need to replace it with a transparent icon?
thanks
If you're talking about the bubble it's in Rosie, but it's in xml, not a PNG.

ah.. so when I find it, do I just set the value to 0 to make it go away?
whoa, never mind. looks like android xml is beyond me. I guess I'll just live with it. thanks for the help though
What rom are you on?

I'm on kings unleashed r3. I was using virus' kingdom port for the last 2 weeks and I really liked the look of the homescreen icons. I was hoping to learn something new and fix it myself, but I gave up right around the time I saw the words hex/decompile/recomplile-or-it-won't-work...

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.
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

Do you mind aharing what youve done already? Im running starburat rom and would love to get rid of the green gingerbread icons lol

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

First Post... be nice...
I really miss the "transparent" background on the homescreen icons like on the default TW on the EPIC 4G... also the truncated text is annoying. Is this a XML edit? Can someone point me into some reasonable direction for a neophyte.
I am a "lurker" on this site and have never posted a request. I have loved the support on the EPIC and now on the TOUCH. Many thanks coming your way...
if you mean the black box behind the text on the homescreen. its a png file that can be set to clear to get rid of it.
when i get home i'll look up the name and location if you want
as for the trunc. text it would be an xml edit but i don't know where it would be located.
I would love to know about the PNG. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the icon is in
system\app\TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
in the \res\drawable folder
and it's called icon_shadow.png
but i may be wrong
you could try replacing it with this (attached) and see what happens
just back up the one in there first. (or make a copy of the whole touchwiz launcher apk first would prob be easier)
i've got touchwiz deleted off my phone cause it doesn't play nice with my transparent statusbar mod. or i'd give it a shot.
I'll keep this short if I can. I am making a theme for DeWizzed, and I am NEARLY done and ready to show it off, but I cannot for the life of me get the clock color to change. I have edited every XML I could think of in the SystemUI.apk AND the framework-res.apk. I thought in Gingerbread it was mearly changing/adding a line in the status_bar.xml inside the SystemUI.apk but that won't do it.
The clock is currently white, and I have managed to change EVERY color in the status bar text currently. I've looked in styles.xml, color.xml, etc. Nothing does it.
If anyone could help I'd GREATLY appreciate it. To give a tiny hint, everyone has been asking for an Orange theme This is 100% from scratch, and I am excited to share once I figure this out.
Thank you guys, been a long time member, and I am now finally posting, because no amount of searching has dug up an answer for me.

Way wrong place for this...
That said i advised building his framework/systemui over again, and changing the clock color before doing his center clock mods... If he has done that and its still not working let me know, and i will jump in and build it to assist...

I was just trying to grab the attention of someone like you and hoping you would just reply here
Thanks for the reply, but as far as what I've done so far that doesn't seem to work...
I've followed this tutorial to the "T" and it doesn't work for me.
http://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/become-a-themer
I successfully changed the date color, notification text colors, just the clock color aludes me. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong?? I'm not trying to cernter the clock, just FYI, and I'm on the SGH-I727 with SkyICS by Sean. Even tried the UOT kitchen and it will not work either.
Help or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Im in the same boat, i spent about four hours tonight doing it over and over and over, and it will just not stick. I dont understand what is going on.
I just found out to make it stick you must put the color string right after the style in the xml, if you put it before the style it won't work
Don't know of gingerbread, but in my froyo it was in /system/framework/services.jar file...so give it a try.
If the systemui is juggs based these its hard coded white to work with the tweaks app i believe.
M&S
I am looking for a relatively simple theme for stock ICS, all I want are things like the app circle, (if possible) the google bar at the top, text, and everythingelse possible in ICS Blue/black and if it isn't a pain, have the home screen horizontal scroll bar black with a blue curser like in the app menu. I have tried changing some of the .png files but don't know the location of all the files nor know how to edit .9.png files. It should be easy for anyone with half a brain, maybe time consuming though with all the files to change. If anyone can give me a detailed tutorial (haven't found a really easy-to-follow one yet) or make it for me, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
(This is technically a question, however I think it best fits this section. If this is the wrong section I'll report it to a mod.)
Bump also forgot to add I'm running the newest AOKP (26).
