[UPDATE 2/15/2009]
OK, after weeks of failure, I gave up on uploading to the forums (kept saying my security token was missing), and put the files on 4Share. This may be slower, but at least it works. Anyway, just download the zip file, unzip, copy to your device and install. The Opera skin will now automatically install (unless you are using L26's 7.4 ROM, which has Opera installed differently than other ROMs), no need to copy separately. There are two versions for each color, one that shows the Youtube link on the internet tab, and one that does not.
I also attach a (fixed) "Black & red" ".tsk" theme file that you can unzip, copy to your windows folder and select through settings--> personal--> today, if you wish...
Enjoy!

I have not prepared .theme versions, as this theme does not lend itself well to that method (due to registry changes affecting colors), but please let me know if it's wanted.
Non-hideously-ugly green version (like the dialer buttons in the red version) to come soon...
--------------------------
Hi all. This is my first theme on the forums. It basically removes all of the (hideous) green items in Manila. It does not change any icons, wallpapers, sliders, etc, so you can use whatever you like and it looks good, IMHO, with all types of wallpapers, clocks, etc.
The focus items have been changed to a very subtle "translucent" light gray. Kind of like Lexxirae's ultimate gray for the Diamond, but more transparent and lighter. The start menu and task manager highlights have been changed to gray, and all radio buttons, checkboxes, green phone buttons, progress/volume, etc. have been changed to blue or red, depending on the version. I have also included an Opera skin with gray menu selection items and a blue or red progress bar. Please see screenshots, below.
I left the stocks tab's green parts as is, since this is the way stock charts traditionally look. Also, I can't seem to change the Album or Camera menu focus. If anyone knows how, please let me know.
That's it. I hope some of you enjoy the theme, and please let me know of any suggestions to improve it.
As always, use at your own risk and backup first
TO INSTALL THE OPERA SKIN---> copy the standard_skin.zip file to windows\opera\skin.

Volume Control problem
Hi,
I Installed this theme and it's really great.
I only have one problem : I only can see "Silent" and "Vibrate" in the volume control screen. The ranks are grey, and so is the background...
Could you fix this please?
Thanx!

Hmmm...Let me take a look. I didn't think I had done anything to the volume overlay, as it was not green by default. Will keep you posted.

I actually did that on purpose to get rid of the You Tube link, as in the screenshot. Should I add it back? Two versions?

I looked through the files I changed, and I am certain that I did not alter the volume overlay. In addition, I do not seem to have this problem, and have tried the theme on several ROMs. Do you have anything else installed that might be doing this? Could you post a screenshot, so I can see what is happening?
Does any one else have this problem?
I will do my best to fix this for you, but I need to see what is going on. Thanks!

You can apply the "Black & Blue.tsk" theme in settings---> personal--> today. This will make those items blue. I think there are some other themes based on the default HTC Black theme kicking around, too, if you search. I also think there is a thread over in the Diamond forums about changing these colors straight from the registry.
EDIT: Here is the link to the Diamond forum thread discussing editing .tsk colors via the registry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442286

6Fg8,
In new manila in the Communications tab ----> 'Wi-Fi', it gives you the available networks.
Do you happen to know the file that gives you the highlight icon when you press the network you want to connect to?
(I altered some manila files to change the theme and now when I press at the desired network it highlite part or the name
Thanks in advance

Sorry, i dont know the filename for that. But to me it looks more like a problem with the sizes of the images you replaced. Did you keep the exact heights and widths of the graphics?

How to change weather update intervals?
I didn't find anything about, I'm still searching...
I have another question regarding weather update intervals, this time.
Does anyone knows which manila files to edit, so we can change the update intervals when we have selected 'Download weather automatically' in weather tab (e.g. make it update every 4 hours)?

I'm new to Android, coming from my FrankenPre2 after giving up hope on webOS and HP. Picking up the Epic Touch has been great, besides the LOS and battery issues. I was pretty deep into modding the Pre, so I'm looking to do the same here.
My first thought was to try to modify the images on the Epic, but I am lost as to where to find the correct files to modify. I was able to change the icon for the messaging app and the Incoming/Outgoing phone call animation, but that's pretty much it. I don't know where to start with the phone app, since images seem to be spread out all over the place. Opening up the phone apk yeilds a ton of images, and I don't know which ones to change.
My question would be to any themers out there, or anyone familiar enough with Android. How do I know which images I need to edit? Is there a directory or a file list which gives corresponding locations to specific images, such as the "1" button or the "Call" button, or the launcher icons? Or is it more a process of trial and error? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can you post screenshots of the things you want to change

Pretty much everything. My first shot will be at the stock icons on the launcher. The I'd like to start on themes for the phone, email, and messaging apps. Pecifically, on the phone I'd like to change much of the color scheme, since the stock colors are in my opinion pretty ugly. But I also want to change the dial pad numbers and other standard buttons.
I was directed to this thread by another Android user:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
Looking into it, the framework-res.apk does have a lot of images that are familiar, but there are a lot of images that aren't there. I think I'll have to start learning about the names of the file locations, and going by trial and error. It would be awesome if there was a simple blueprint as to where the images you want to change are, but ah well. I've got a lot of learning to do. Thanks for the response, and if you have any other suggestions, let me know.
Check out SystemUI.apk
This is the pulldown icons and such
Found under system\app\
I think the dialer is contacts.apk

Thank you! I would never have looked in the contacts for the dialer icons. There doesn't seem to be a perfect logic as to which apk's hold the images, so I guess it's going to be a lot of trial and error here. If you know of any more locations, let me know. Thanks!
you need to modify the images in the following that I know of to get a pretty standard theme
Framework-res
touchwiz framework-res
contacts.apk
systemui.apk
Hello folks,
I don't quite like the blue color of the quick settings panel background on the Tab S2.
Is there any possibility to customize that color? (E.g., to a blackish or grey one?)
Wanam Xposed lets me customize several colors, but not this one...
Yes. You need to edit xml files in systemui.apk. I have the diffs from the s6 if you want to see. Should be about the same. Pm me, and I'll also try to post here, when I get a chance.
Steve
So, you need to edit values in "status_ bar_expanded_header.xml", found in res/layout, and "colors.xml", found in res/values.
In status bar_exapnded_header.xml, change the value in red (its right at the top) to the hex color of your choice. Your's will be a bit different, as this is from the S6:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarHeaderView android:layout_gravity="clip_horizontal" android:id="@id/header" android:background="[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/notification_header_bg[/COLOR]" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="@dimen/notification_panel_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:baselineAligned="false" android:paddingStart="@dimen/notification_side_padding" android:paddingEnd="@dimen/notification_side_padding"
In colors, change the value for the following to the color you want:
Code:
<color name="notification_header_bg_tw">
There are more changes you can make in colors.xml (e.g., button color, etc.), and they should be apparent once you get in there...
I attach a status_bar_exanded_header.xml and colors.xml from an "AOSP-style" notification/quick settings area I did for the s6 for your reference.
Please feel free to ask in the thread or via PM if you need help on this. I may release a ROM with some theme options, but I am not sure, as I haven't released one in years and am not sure I have the time to properly maintain it. If I do, or even make one for my own use, I'll post the SystemUI.apk.
Steve
On my T813, the file "status_bar_expanded_header.xml" doesn't have a line like you have in red, and the color.xml file doesn't exist in res/values. Any idea what's up with that?
I'm using GoodLock and mine and I managed to make the status bar completly black. Here's a link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/
