HI,
I like the default home screen that comes with the Cavalier (sorry). However, I changed the background image and the fonts do not show very well. I would like to change the font color and the highlight font color. I need the font color in white and the highlighted font in blue (not dark blue).
I'm not familiar with the .xml programming; however, if anyone can help me to change these two parameters on the HTC.Home.xml, I would be really happy.
Is it possible to do these changes? Will I need a special Editor for changing the code? or could it be done with a common application?
Regards,
REY

I created my own little gingerbread theme for JPU but got some problems:
I can't manage to change the text color of menus (to white) and the clock (to #919191) in status bar. While I did find a thread on how to change menu and clock color I can't manage to make it work as the compiled apk makes the phone crash.
Could someone please help me get this to work?
Attaching my framework-res.apk in case anyone wants to use it / have a look at the issue
EDIT: Here's screenshots:
I've looked up and down the cm7 thread and themes section for this? did some Googling and got a possible lead which is editing smali. changing the icon colors within that menu seems to challenging so I just want to switch the font color to red (not render colors) and possibly make the settings background transparent. any help is greatly appreciated
bumping this since it's still open

Hey Everyone,
I successfully used UOT Kitchen to change battery icon, status bar text color, change the default font on my phone, change pop-up colors, make my drop down notification black and semi-transparent.
However, the one thing that doesn't work is the text on the notification pull down bar is black which is of course unreadable on a black semi-transparent background.
I changed it in UOT Kitchen to Blue. Then I tried doing it over again and changed it to Orange. The end result is still black.
Any help would be appreciated.

Next time please post this questions in the Q/A area:
But from what you are saying the test for "ongoing" notifications are staying black right? like music and things of that nature??? that is because the texts is stored in there own apk. so if you want to change the color of the text you will need to take apart the apk for each app that uses the "ongoing" notification area.
I think I got it
First off, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Thanks for answering and not kicking me out! It won't happen again.
So basically, since the HTC Inc is supposed to have a white pull down notification, most apps make their text black and it would have to be changed in each app (text messaging, google voice texts, etc).
I did run the app Cache Cleaner which posts its results in the notification and they surprisingly showed up in the color (blue) that I had chosen in UOT. But nothing else has, so I guess I just need to change my background color to white or something that works with black text.
Thanks,

No worries on the kick. i dont flame.
The notifications are broken down into 2 groups. "ongoing" and "notification". If its a notification that is controlled by the framework-res.apk it will be themed from the UOT most market apk and gapps use the ongoing section so they are held within there respected apk. the only way around it is to do what you said. have a white bg or if you go and change each apk. sorry. :/
guys i used the UOT kitchen, could i replace the mod'd framework-res.apk by jus using the root explorer?? i mean paste it in the system folder den set permissions n then move it to the system/framework/ folder??
Had this issue to. Tried everything to change the text color with no luck. I finally gave up and settled for a transparent white pulldown. It dosent look to bad but is a bit of a contrast from my mostly black transparent theme.
