All these colors are in /res/values/style.xml
look for icon menu
list view
and any other menu instances that have that light grey, looks to be pretty close to white, maybe cccccc
make them black and youll be good to go.

Hi guys. I recently stumbled upon an awesome Icon set I really like, except for the grey coloring.
I am no graphic artist and I'm terrible with photoshop. Could some one please make the phone, globe and camera shutter icon a much more brighter black/white icon(s)? Below is a sample of how I would like the coloring to be, minus the dock bar of course.
I claim no right to any of these images or icons. If you'd like to help me, the files are attached below. coloring_i_want.jpg gives you an idea of the coloring for the icons I would like.
These awesome icons were done by Ilia Draznin at some url this post will simply not let me link since I am new to the forums *sigh*.
Thanks in advance.
Ok so I've managed to edit a few of my apks on my phone to something that I like better and that's been easy because i knew the files I needed to edit would be in the apk itself. With me so far?
So now I want to edit some files on the ROM I'm using, but this is where it gets tricky, because I dont know if I need to edit the framework, SystemUI, or Roise, etc.... to get what I want.
So... here is my question: Attached is an image of my menu that pops up when I git my Meny button on my Evo. You'll notice my icons are pulled from another Rosie.apk which I replaced with my current Rosie.apk. I had to pull edit and push this mod because flashing it was not compatible with my current ROM. So now, that i have the icons I want, I want to make the background of this menu (and possible others) black transparent and the text white. I know this can be done because I've seen it and would like to know which files need to be edited.
Does anyone know that could toss me a bone??
I've also posted this on Android Central, but no one seems to know there...
for the menu background color it should be either menu_background or menu_background_fill_parent_width both in framework-res.
For the text color i dont know but poke around the .xmls in framework or ask here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468254&page=283

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.

Hi.
I've been playing around with my phone for a while now. I used UOT Kitchen to get transparent notification bar.
But what I'm really interested in is a transparent app drawer. I have gone through all the .png's in systemUI, framework-res, twframework-res, touchwiz30launcher and i did not see a single .png that the system would use as a app drawer background.
And as far as i understood the transparency is enabled in those .xml files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255155 - this is what I'm talking about.
I'd be glad if anyone would tell me what lines/files i have to add and where.
And if anyone bothers to help me, I will most definitely make a guide how to do this
And also, is there a way to change the background color in menus with font color ( cuz i've seen ROM's with white background and grey font)
Peace
PS! I didn't know whether I should post this in General or here, but as it is theme related I believe it belongs here.
