[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.

Search. You will definitely find in one of the threads in the Themes and Apps forum itself.
And, Please ask QUESTIONS in Q & A forum.
Tip - If you search, you can find a MOD by bala_gamer.
That will change your background to blue.
A simple editing in the file can change the background to your desired shade/color.

Try framework-res.apk/red/values/bools.XML
I'm certain there's a "is white" type setting in there

supreethms is right, but to make it a bit easier the mod is called "touch-wiz glass: and as he mentioned it's pretty much what you're looking for.

Modding the Sense 5 Weather Clock Background?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to modify the background of the sense 5 weather clock (the one that flips with the weather juuuust below it) not to make it transparent like everybody else is doing. I'm trying to theme it to go with a modified app drawer image and navigation bar image. The problem is I don't know which files to edit in order to do that. Could anyone here give me some advice or pointers?
Yes I have searched for a guide or tut to do it but all I find is people supplying one they made or pointing at a thread that has them already made. I would like to do this myself though.
Thanks in advance for any help

Have you heard of sense 5 toolbox? You can set transparency of many items...

Where is that image? I took a look inside of the prism apk but found nothing by that name.
But for everyone else reading, I'm not looking for transparency, I'm trying to overlay another image over, thus changing how the panel looks.

Are you talking about the panel where the weather condition is ?
That is common_panel.9.png in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Changing this will affect the widgets background too

Thats the one!!!

YES THAT'S THE ONE!
Just in case I added a screenshot, I circled the panel jsu so that everyone knows what I'm talking about. I found that common_panel.9.png but it's basically just a circle?
What I want to do is make that panel look like the navbar you see in the image I attached, if it's just a circle then it might not work or be possible.

Nobody have any ideas?
Does nobody here have any ideas on how to achieve this?

In both Sense 5 and Sense 5.5, the png is indeed found in the resources apk. It is the common_panel.9.png and it can be themed but only basically. The best you can do with it is make it with a border either transparent or semi. However, depending on how skilled you are with editing xml, you could put a custom PNG in the drawable folder and edit the layouts to navigate to that specific image. That way your newly themed image will be used and not the common_panel.9.png. If you look at my theming thread from Sense 5.5, you'll see what I mean.

Customize quicksearchbar of nokia x+'s stock launcher

Can anyone tell me how to make this quicksearchbar transparent or at least remove it from the launcher? I used @angga aurelius 's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x/general/guide-customize-nokia-x-launcher-t2996914)(thanks to him) to make launcher become transparent and now I want to make this search bar become transparent as well! I mean to remove the black background behind the letter "search". If can not, I'd rather remove it!
I know there are many experienced developers out there and I really appreciate your helps!

This is my systemUI apk file!

you need to decompile Launcher.apk then find search_underline.xml in folder drawable

Thanks very much! I will try it. What about making it transparent? Do you know how to?

the first two hex digits are for the alpha channel, here the colorcode
#cc000000 20% transparent
#b3000000 30% transparent
#99000000 40% transparent
#80000000 50%
#66000000 60%
#4d000000 70%
#33000000 80%

Due to several problems, I can't decompile my launcher.apk so I really appreciate If someone even tries this and posts here the results to let me know!

1. I dont have time.
2. I've just started to learn to code, but almost all tutorials on XDA about how to decompile an apk and how to use apk manager,... are outdated though there're new versions of these tools with different things added. And no one has even cared about making a simple thread on how to use Android Studio-a new programme that is much more faster and effective when developing apps!
