I have a few questions about a few things and I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I would like to try to change the color scheme in the areas not covered by launchers like the status bars on the top and bottom of my Nexus 7, for example making the status bar on top a different color or changing the color of the clock or the battery.
Also, I want to change the color of the background in the menus (like the settings menu) from black to maybe a great and different font colors too. I saw a listing for theme chooser in my ROM toolbox pro and I haven't yet find out exactly what it does or if I can use it for what I want. I gather these are themes different from what you get from a launcher.

I really like the color menus found in Aloysius but I just want the menus, not all the changed icons etc.
What would be the best way to get color menus only? Can I remove what I don't want from the zip or has anyone else made a color menu for the EVO yet?
Thank you!
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
not sure on what you're asking, but the android kitchen can modify/theme most of your phone:

changing the font color of the words to red,,,,such "wireless & networks"...the whole listing in the settings page
Is there a rom that lets us easily customize the status bar like MIUI does? Besides the miui rom basically lol
Strongsteve's Blue odexed.
He has a mod available for his rom to customize the pulldown text.

Not sure what particular options your looking for but...
AOKP let's you change clock, battery, and signal icons. You can center clock, change colors, add day of the week, etc. Also many options for pull down. Add to that themes and a plethora of other ROM control options and you have probably the most user customizable ROM by way of built in selections out there.

But can you change the color of the clock and signal also. Because when I had it on my epic 4g touch it wouldnt change the colors. Lol

No, you would have to learn to theme. AOKP and CM10 are your best bet if you want to modify appearance a lot.
Try the AOKP rom. In the settings menu under "rom controls" you can change a lot of things. The satatus bar being one of them. I centered the clock and changed its color to green on mine.

As was already mentioned, no you can't. However, there are many color variants of stock JB via CM10/AOKP themes. So say you want a purple signal/battery status bar icons, all you would have to do is download a purple theme. There is about 300 themes available at the moment I believe, many of them free.
FreeGS3 rom has lots of zips to change the notification bar. There's also this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886656 which has options to change it too. Hope this helps. I've centered my clock, and change a few things on mine.

With some ROMs, the notification drawer is transparent or semi-transparent, but I find it much easier to read when it's solid black. I've found tons of apps & posts about how to make it transparent, but not non-transparent. Any thoughts?

Some ROM's let you set any image as the background of the notification and quick settings menus. If so, just pick a color you like, make a JPG of that color, and use it. however most ROM's that let you do that also give you the option of selecting a solid color.

Thanks. Any thoughts if the ROM doesn't have that feature?
Download xblast module or wanam lers you chanfe everything from clock color/size/position and all colors in system ui
??
I'm assuming you don't know about the xposed app? Download xposed off of xda. There is a whole forum and then download the module gravitybox and you can change the color of it. And you don't have to change your rom. It's really simple.:laugh:
In the settings, by default, there are only light colors for the navbar, which don't fit quite well dark apps like Spotify and Reddit.
Is there a way to set it black?
I already tried:
- LG themes and high contrast mode: they work, but also change the whole UI look.
- Nacho Notch, Navbar Apps and other applications on PlayStore: they don't change only the default color, but the color used everywhere (e.g.: Nacho Notch sets the navbar to be always black, even when it should be transparent, like in the launcher).
- Alpha Substratum theme: it doesn't affect default navbar color (or, at least, I wasn't able to let it do it).
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks.
I don't see it either. Apart from another launcher, I think your only option is going to be a dark theme.

Use nacho notch or navbar apps.
Or double tap the left hand dot to hide the Nav Bar in those apps you don't like the look??
I just use System UI Tuner. A few ADB commands for permission for the app to run and all is good. Find it in the Play Store. Instructions are supper easy to follow and you can hide either the nav bar status bar or go full immersive and hide both even on the home screen like I do.

Alpha most certainly has this option. That was one of the first things I did when I added G7 support! You do have to go and manually select black but the option is definitely there
Thanks!

I finally found out how to do it! I needed to "force" the black navigation bar selection in the settings after having built "System UI".
I also quickly followed a fellow XDA members advice on how to enable High Contrast to phone in the settings and makes the phone dark as can be. It solved my Setting Theme to all black and Navigation bar to black as well. Just had to change the wallpaper back but works well.
