Which files needed for app-bar

Hi.
I'm going to mod my stock ROM to be as i want, but i need to know which image files i need to edit for making a custom Application-Bar, you know the one to pull up and down on homescreen.
Anyone knows?

status_bar_close_on.9.png is the bar that is dragged down and the permanent one at the top is statusbar_background.png

Already got that one modded with the hero status bar.
Its the one at the bottom with the apps i want to change. Got any idea what these files are called?

I've only done this with cyanogen so not sure whether this is same for all but here goes:
Launcher.apk\res\drawable-port\ic_tray_collape.png
Launcher.apk\res\drawable-port\ic_tray_expand.png
Launcher.apk\res\drawable-port\tray_handle_pressed.png
Launcher.apk\res\drawable-port\tray_handle_selected.png
and the background for the Launcher menu:
Launcher.apk\res\drawable\pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png

if we change the bar to darker colour, surely it will be impossible to read the clock. Could someone confirm?
Thanks

With a little more modding you can change the text color.

Changing the clock colour is a pain as it is in services.jar rather than the framework-res.apk, if anyone has steps to edit the services.jar do let me know

check out the dream section- there is a thread there about how to do it. Not easy.

Does anyone make a black status bar theme that includes a black tray handle as well?

black title/status bar help...
ok, I am putting together a Themed ROM (WGY26wcfs). Got all the png's and fonts I want/need. Thing is, the text is black on the title bar/status bar at the top, kinda hard to see it with a black background...
So, where do I go to change the color of the font used for this location?
That would be a big help.
Thanks!

well...
Please, some help...where can I set the color of the font for the title bar at the top? The font is black..so is the title bar...kinda hard to see...

dont mean to hijack, but anyone can make black status bars for openeclair 1.1.4?

Search in the Android Themes section for colorchange.jar. This simple app will do what you need (you need to edit .dex files in the framework). PM if still have trouble.

Either check you what I said above, or watch for my new Blue_Haze ROM which will be a modded version of OE with a black bar.

You need a services.jar edit and then a png edit. Pretty easy.

That is for the background. Reading through the other links on that tread, I still can't find the line in any or the services.jar areas.

That is a really good site. Sadly, it doesn't change all the icons on the factory rom. Dang, I'm so close to being done with this theme, only a few things standing in my way.

I was just reading a tutorial on this. I think it was in the droid x forum.
Sent from your mom's phone.

Well I made the rest of the icons, now I'm back to needing to change the clock and date color in the bar.

[Q] Where can I find the USB notification Icon?

I'm looking to give the white USB notification Icon a little color but I can't seem to find it. I've looked in com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk under drawable-hdpi. I can see most notification Icons but not USB.

Anyone out there?

I think its in the framework-res.apk. look in the \res\drawable-hdpi folder

In a Sense ROM the USB icon is in the PCSCII.apk, its not in the framework. On a AOSP ROM its in the framework-res.apk.

There it is...Thank you very much.
I'm having trouble finding another one. Where might I find notification icons for Successful/Unsuccessful Installs?

Status bar color change?

Is there an easy way to change the status bar color or can someone point me in the right direction to do it myself. I can't stand the grayish color that samsung uses. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

You have to pull the systemui.apk from the rom. That is where most of the status bar stuff is at. You can use apk tool to decompile and recompile the apk.

I went and pulled the systemui and decompiled but can't seem to find the items i need to edit. Is it just a PNG file or do I need to edit the XML also? Does anyone know where they are located in the systemui?

I beleive it is a combo of both PNG and XML......Last year I tried to get help from some of te themers around xda and most of them told me to just go in there and play around.... I gave up after about 2 months.
