Does ANYONE know what XML file I would have to edit in the Facebook for android apk to make the text color of the app widget white?
-Meaning if you have the FB widget on your homescreen, usually the background is white and the text is black..ish. My background is now black and I want the text to be white instead of black...ish.
I can read the text, but it's quite annoying. And no, I do not want to go back to a white background if that was your solution = )
Thanks!

There are many xmls to look for. Check the values folder under color or drawable. Or it could be in layout under appwidget

Yep, well I looked in there, but I wasn't sure it was the right spot to change the color since I kept seeing #ff000000 instead of #000000 which after extensive googling, I found out the ff is the transparency and the rest is hex. Ok so that makes sense now.
So for ANYONE who may want to know this... first decompile the apk so you can edit the xml color in values\drawable.xml and then compile apk AND THEN edit your res\hdpi files. Otherwise it doesnt work. This was the case for me anyway. I could be 101% incorrect, but this is the way it worked for me

Yeah that is correct. The ff is transparency and also correct that u can decompile apk do ur XML/smali edits then recompile and do ur PNG edits.

I am running ee1.29...I am loving the look except the text in the menus is stilll the ugly aqua...I am curious how I can mod the rom to make it the blue used in froyo? Thanks
Ok...so no suggestions...how about could someone mod it for me?
The text is aqua or the text is highlighted with an aqua backgroud when you press it? I do not use the same rom you do so could you supply a screen shot?
Sub text in menus is aqua

I'm guessing its in the Settings.apk file. You have to use apktool to decompile the .apk file and then you can read the xml and look for the color (ie FF000000 for white) and change it to what you are looking for.
I'll see if I can figure it out and attach the modified Settings.apk. Do you have a specific color you were wanting?

I want to change the color of my notification bar on JVP. Does anyone know where i should change it?
I did get the notification dropdown menu to be transparent by changing systemUI.apk but don't know where to find the background of the notification bar itself.
I really do not like the all black one, I think it makes the screen look smaller

An easy way to change the "NB" notification bar color, is to use universal androot, root your phone, then DLoad Ninjamorph, open "N morph" then click new project, select system, framework, framework-res.apk, res, drawable, then scroll to statusbar-background.png press and hold to edit color, hit menu button save your changes, backout to "N Morph front screen, tap finish project, select framework-resapk, and your done, but you will need to find clock ect, apks on your own, it shouldn't be to hard, just remember these steps. Also N Morph creates backups of the files before you edit them, just remember to move your backup to a safe place so as not to be overwritten
Nice big
I don't think that works for 2.3.4. I don't have statusbar-background.png in framework-res.apk.
I read somewhere that it's in systemUI.apk in GB? But when i change it there using adb it doesn't change.

its because its a hex color! if you decompile system-ui.apk in apk.manager and go to res/layout/statusbar you will see on the first line depending on your os search for>> android:background="#ff000000" and change to >> android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"! then go down to the very bottom where it says date view and you will see the same thing >>android:background="#ff000000" change to the same as you did above and then save and recompile!
now whenever you change your statusbar_background.png it will change to whatever you change it too!!
where can i find that system-ui.apk? i tried searching for it!!

Unrelated to your question but, how did you get your dropdown menu to become transparent?
I want to do it on my SGS running 2.3.3 and can't get a proper guide anywhere!

Looks like it might work but it doesn't work with my XXJVR, here is my SystemUI modified like you said but it's still black :'(
attached
@yash1229 you can copy my drawable-hdpi folder to your SystemUI and you'll get transparent dropdown notification panel.
take my files decompile and look around =)

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.

framework-res.apk in no-dpi folder, is the gradient background png.
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.

Huh.. Lot of thread already make the tutor for this..

Hey fellow themers out there! So one of the things that's preventing me to call my theme complete is this gray background image on my themed MusicPlayerWT.apk (see picture). It shows up under the track info and only in landscape mode. I looked and looked for a png file that makes up that image but I just can't find it. There ain't many png files in the drawable folders for me to keep missing so it just leads to conclude that is not a png file I'm after. It's similar to the grey notification bar on the notifications dropdown in the SystemUI.apk or the white dialer background in the Phone.apk. They are not png files that you could swap or edit. I really want to either make it completely transparent or black. If anyone out there could give me a hand with this I would appreciate it (link to apk file below). Thx ahead.

It's <color name="music_player_header_bg">#ff191919</color> in res/values-land/colors.xml my friend.
Tip: When you are looking for some background to change look what's on the foreground. In your case it took me 1 min to find it - first found that allshare button icon in drawables, then searched for the png name in /res -> found the button xml, then searched in layouts for the button xml name and found that head layout which has the background color I gave you. Simple, right...?

Wow thx!:thumbup: It shows how much there is still to learn. Thx for the tip. I wish I could give u more thank yous but you know how that goes...
...anyways...why now do we have background images generated from xml files? Unless I'm mistaken, I don't remember running into that on previous Android releases.
