Darkened Notification Icons... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone know what .png makes the notification icons slightly darker then those images on the battery side.
For example....the mail, gmail, talk, ect notifications icons are darker then the battery, signal and wifi are.
I'd like to make the .png that creates this darkness "transparent", so that they are just as bright and beautiful as the battery/time side is.
I'm creating a theme, and it has a lot of colors in the notification icons
Thanks.

Yup, I just now realized that myself. It is an XML file called dimens.xml - I just need to learn how to modify it.
Thanks man

Theme help?

How would I go about changing the color of the battery icon, 3g icon and everything else in the notification bar and notification area in a theme I didn't build?
Or change the entire color scheme of a finished theme?

You'll need the framework-res.apk. Open it with winrar or 7zip, navigate to /res, and drag the folder drawable-hdpi to your desktop or wherever. Inside there you'll find a lot of images that you may or may not want to alter. Once altered, go back to that framework-res.apk that you have opened but not altered, delete the matching .png, and simply drag your altered .png into the archive. That's the simplest way to make changes, as decompiling/recompiling a themed framework usually yields issues.
Edit....

Just so you know, the notification icons for messaging and email and stuff are in the apks themselves. If you need any help let me know.
Yeah it took me a little while and then I was like oh wait you can look inside apks with winrar and I found the res folder so im coloring everything right now.... so .... many..... files.... its gonna take a while.... could I take maddoggin's 6 lock screen mod and just drop it in the theme or is there some files I would have to change first to accomplish this

Date and clock are not image based so you won't find them. Signal bars should be in systemui.

i havent themed ICS yet, but if they are in the same place as gingerbread this thread might help --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831715
that was from this time last year when a few of us were figuring out where everything was in gingerbread
I may as well help you out as I've themed the whole of ICS and know it pretty much inside out...
The clock and the date in the dropdown are linked to one color in an XML. If you decompile your framework-res.apk go to res\values\colors.xml. change the following "Holo_Blue_Light" to whatever color you want, this will change the clock and the date color. The blue line you are referring to is in the systemUI, in the drawable-xhdpi folder. The image is named "Statusbar_hr.9.png" as its a .9.png I'd be careful editing it.
I hope this helps.

These icons are graphics, you can't change their color in XML. Decompile SystemUI.apk and look at /res folder.

Changing Lockscreen icons

I am looking at getting rid of the color on the lockscreen, so would like to change the icons on the stock lockscreen. I would guess I need to drop a PNG file in somewhere, just no clue where. Can someone help out or let me know an easier way? Thanks. PS I am Running Jedi XP12
The icons in the lock screen are dependent on the apps you have set up. So, for instance, if you want to change the messaging icon you will need to change the icon in the SecMms.apk. Using 7zip, you can navigate to the icon. They are usually found in the mipmap folder and banned something like ic_launcher_mms.
Hope that helps
As for the color on the lock screen, not sure what you mean there.

Thanks, will give it a go. By color I mean I like black and white so the color icons need to go.
Black and white huh? Would be sweet if there were a tw rom that was black and white.

LOL, was on it, And will be back as soon as the home button issue is resolved. It was happening to me more than just from the app draw. Small issue that would not bother a lot of people, but I constantly use it.

Can I change the color of phone icons?

Is it possible to change the color of the icons in the contact list? The green is killing my b/w theme & I would like to change them to white.
Any input would be appreciated.

Yes, it is possible
Probably inside framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, or SecPhone.apk

I looked in SecContacts.apk.
Found, inside the drawable-sw359dpi-xhdpi folder, the icon that appears to match the one in the screenshot.
"ic_call.png"
There's a few others with the exact same icon in that folder and I have no idea which one Samsung's call log/contacts pulls from so I'd just change them all. (I hate how many redundant images exist in the Touchwiz Framework.)

OH WHOOPS. Yeah you're right, the images SHOULD be in SecContacts. Didn't notice she was in the contacts tab, which opens the contacts app. You can tell that I use my phone as a phone very often lol
