It's an XML edit in the systemui. I haven't been theming or anything lately, so I don't really know where it us now, but you would have to take apart the apk and change it. Haven't heard of an app that does this.

Im working on a theme, and i've successfully themed the status bar, but i need to know how to change the color of the font on the status bar and in the drop down menu to black. I can't seem to find what lines to edit in the status_bar.xml using my hex editor. Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks.
Go check out the vibrant themes section.. I have a sticky for metamorph.. There is a tutorial how to manually change xmls for font color...
I'm going to tell you u couldn't get the clock to change in the vibrant.. i could change the date but not the clock.. We have actually changed everything but the time...
Tmo did something with our framework so it may just be the vibrant but idk...
God luck..any questions pm me

You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.

Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.

I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Also what program should I use to edit xml documents?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?

Go into it and look for the hdpi folders there should be about 600 images if your in framework-res
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Found it....looks like quite a job! Any idea where I could find replacement icons without having to re edit all of these?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So I'm using paint.net to work my way through the hdpi images....when I'm done do I just rezip the framework file with the stuff set to store and then change extension to .apk and then rezip the Rom and flash it? Idk how to apply my changes

Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
How did it go

I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience

Sorry I didn''t realize you had posted the answer to my question about vol. bars.....Where do I find this xml and more importantly how the hell do I open and edit it? I can't figure out how to open these xml's for the life of me
Ok so I just renamed,copied and pasted a new font to my clockopia so it just replaces my lock screen clock font. Looking good( will update show your screen thread later to show) but is there a way to change just that fonts colour.??

its gotta be possible somehow cos some themes have coloured system font, I.e redpassion. I know nothing about developing or themes but I'm optimistic I will find a way lol. Was just hoping for a quick workaround. Regards Slymobi.

Hi there everyone I have been learning about theme but having some trouble getting study time with all my kids yelling and screaming all day. So far i know about .9 and samlli apk manager decompile and recompile . as well as xml files.
My issue wright now is that I don't know exactly what files to edit to get the changes I want. If there's any tut on what file changes change what, that would be aswom, like for example I want to change the over-scroll color but I have changed the images I thought would change that and nothing.. But if not can anybody tell me what I have to edit to, change the color on the status bar, and the color of the letters on the status bar like the clock. and system letters.
Thank you before hand. for taking the time to answer I know life is busy.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Yeah I remember. I already have the app modded as I use it myself.
But anything in the status bar is found in the SystemUI.apk
It is going to be an XML as well.

A no brainer way is to use the app "rom toolkit".. if u go to the playstore its actually on sale right now and its well worth the regular price let alone the sale price, i paid the full amount and couldn't be more stoked.. Its about 10 apps in one and a must have for any noob root user like myself (any user for that matter).. one of the many features is theme changer where u can change the theme, font, status bar, boot loader ect.....

Its going I just tried to recompile framework. Apk with apk manager but I get an error. And it compiles with nothing on it like 0 bits.so I'll figure it out... The only reason to use a pk manager is to b able to edit XML in a readable language right? Cause last time I didn't use apk manager and it was OK but I couldn't edit any XML cause hex just not that good with it.

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction for editing a theme? I want the Cobalt theme to have transparent status bar, transparent system backgrounds(dialer, settings...etc) just like the HoloGlass Beta but with all the nice stuff from Cobalt(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt) (HoloGlass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mix3d.theme.hologlass.beta)
I'm still trying to figure this out, I've decompiled both themes, copied like 50 images from cobalt(signal, wifi...etc) to hologlass overwriting the originals, edited preview and changed the default wallpaper then recompiled, signed it, installed but the only thing that I can tell is different is the default wallpaper, everything else is the same, the preview didn't even work, just shows a red X....I don't understand.
If it's a system app you don't want to sign it. You need to preserve the original signatures if I remember correctly. Utilities like apk multi tool can do this for you when it's time to recompile. Could that be the problem?

I didn't know a theme was a system app?
Well I was wrong, It mostly worked, most things changed except WiFi and signal bars(Which was one of the main features I wanted from cobalt) Maybe it would be easier just to take the transparent stuff from holo glass and put it into cobalt? Idk but I still need help with this...

It depends on what you're theming. I'm just guessing but the status bar is probably in the SystemUI.apk or SecLauncher2.apk. so to theme it would require modding the correct system app.
