So i have successfully managed to edit all images in HTC_IME but what im after is changing the highlight colour of the keys pressed. I found the colors.xml in res/values
I did the edits (changed the hex colour code) for
color name="text_inline_selection">#ffff00ff</color>
and also
color name="default_ime_highlight">#ffff00ff</color>
saved the file recompiled and pushed back to phone all the png's and 9.png's had successfully changed but the colour remained the same HTC GREEN!!
Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here
Thanks
Any solution?

Hello guys, and girls?
I've just rooted my Magic and installed CyanogenMod 6 (stable) on it. Is there a way to make the progressbars (downloads, volume) green instead of yellow?
Yep with root you can change anything not sure how to go about changing the progress bars though, but yes it is possible

Progress Bar
You will need to get Paint.net (free) and set up SDK and ADB on your computer. Pulling the Framework-res.apk and then modifiing the progress bars (notice I said bars).
Try putting this in your framework-res.apk file (in your drawable directory).
It had to be edited from source and then extracted from the apk file so it wasn't as simple as using Paint.net to edit a png file.
If you use it in a rom or theme, I would appreciate credit for the contribution.

thanks binary... dont know if u remember but i was the one that tried to figure out how to change my progress bar to blue... you gave me a site that gives the number color code... well, still i never got that chance to figure it myself... but again thanks for the green progress bar file

No problem.
Okay, I've just ported over a few themes to the ultimate droid 2.1.0 and in the transition, my menus font is white on a white backgroud. I cannot see the font unless I use the trackball and highlight it. Would anybody be willing to show me what files to change that or even better help me by changing them for me? I am not a themer by any means and am just looking for a little help thanks.

Nobody knows how to do this? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks
It's in the colors.xml I think .
It may be in values folder.
Once you decompile the
framework.apk
Not at a computer or I could give you a better idea.

I'm running the new Urban theme that was just updated for Ultimate droid 2.1.0....It happens on any program i run when i hit menu to bring up menu options, the font is white on a white backgroud.... Just need to change either the font to black by default or background to default
halfway there
Ok, I've extracted the framework-res file to my PC... I located the colors folder and now i'm in need of help on how to edit the file to make the font black instead of white... What program do i use to edit the file, and how do i repack the framework-res to insert back to the phone? Any help

I would download 7zip and just swap out color xmls that you know are stock. Or just post a download link and I will fix it for you

Cheers, exactly what I was looking for while themeing my SGS
Hi, it's just that i want to change the font colour of my rom (it's still is in beta mode and i haven't post it, but it'll soon come). My rom is based on the framework of the nexus s and its systemui.apk so everything is the same, but when im at any place and i press the button left to the home button, and it displays the extra options, the extra options are in the same colour as the font (black) and i can't see it. I would just copy the xml files on the nexus s framework (i suppose it's located there), but its far better if i learn how to change it myself. I'm a bit noob at rom cooking, and i know the basics, how to edit the framework, edditing apk's appearance, cooking it, making it into a flasheable zip, but the thing i don't know is how to this.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
If I'correct then in twframework in /res/values should be xml file color.xml and in there should be color hex code with most colors used in theme or in /res/drawable is quite few xml files for some menus. You edit xml with some better editor. Hope this can jelp a little rrst will theme modders add

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the Navbar background? By this, I mean the colour of the area that the soft buttons sit on.
The only thing I have been able to find is instructions on making it transparent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409540&highlight=edit+navbar
Perhaps there is a .png that can be changed in SystemUI? Or perhaps the framework can be tweaked?
Any light that could be shed on the matter would be really appreciated
Thanks

From the link:
From the root of the SystemUI directory, open res/values/colors.xml. Find the entry for “status_bar_background” and change it’s value to whatever you want. In mine I’ve set it to “a6000000” which black but 35% translucent. The first 2 characters control the opacity on a scale from 0-255 where 0 is completely transparent and 255 is fully opaque. That value is then stated in hexadecimal format; e.g. 0=00, 255=ff.
First 2 characters are transparency last 6 characters are color.

AOKP features this in their ROM control settings.

Ah - I see. Thanks for your help, missed that.
Dont suppose you know how to change the actual picture of the navbar, not just the colour? As you can see in the below thread:

I believe that in AOKP, you can change the softkey colour, not the actual navbar (that the softkeys sit on)

In that link they give instructions to make transparent. But you could also change the color i believe just replacing the opacity and entering your desired color code hex value. Then compile.
Trying to theme my status bar dropdown, and it's driving me insane.
I replaced the quicksettings and clear notifications icons, but when pressing them they get a green overlay.
Right now I'm trying to find out where this is controlled. Must be one of the .xmls or in smali, but so far I had no luck finding anything.
Anyone else know where to look?

I'm facing the same dillema. I bet it's in smali somewhere... if we're lucky it calls the RGB value from an XML we can change somewhere.

I checked most of the xmls in systemui and had no luck finding anything. If it calls an xml, then it most likely sits in com.htc.resources.apk which would suck :/

It's skinned blue in our Rom so its not in resources. I'm pretty sure it's in framework-res.apk values/colors.xml. holo_green_light & holo_green_dark
But to be sure I'll ask our lead dev sergio tomorrow.

since it will be changed if one applies a HTC Sense theme, and the Matte theme for instance has a blue on pressed color i did a quick apktool d Matte.apk
i found no graphics file inside but i found this inside /res/values/colors.xml
Code:
<color name="overlay_color">#ff0087b4</color>

Yeah it doesn't do what we want it to do though
I found it's easier to just put all your changes in a skin that's already got blue highlights, such as aluminum or matte. Now if I could only get rid of the black clock in the Matte theme I'd be golden!

Nice catch, too bad that the default skin is com.htc.resources.apk, which can't really be edited atm until apktool is updated.
Edit: with your hint I think it's "<color name="multiply_color">#ff00beff</color>" under values/colors.xml. for stock HTC theme, I think it's in SystemUI.apk, trying it out now.
Edit2: yup, that's the value that colors the icon on press . Editing SystemUI.apk is enough. Bear in mind that the color gets overlaid as a multiply layer (think Photoshop)
Yeah that makes sense with the multiply overlay
It was late yesterday when i posted my findings :-D
