Cobalt theme / Softkeys - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I like a lot, this theme
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt&hl=en
It's my favorite one. But i don't like the softkeys buttons. I tried to change them with SoftKeyZ / GravityBox / Xposed Installer, i mean i tried everything i could but no result.
The softkeys buttons i'd like looks like those :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vicino.theme.FlatronBlue&hl=en
Would you explain it to me, please, how to change them, but keeping the Cobalt - CM9/CM10/CM11 Theme ?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe decompile both themes and replace corresponding icons? Not hard to do actually, but may involve copyright issues especially if the theme is a paid one...

As far as only replacing corresponding pics in the theme's APK files, I think WinZIP/WinRAR might already be enough.
You could upload the themes somewhere and I'll check it out tomorrow (it's 11PM here in China), no guarantees though

[Theme] Blue Brush (RC33, Updated 03-04-2009)

Hey guys, just made this theme, for personal usage really, and decided to share.
If anyone wants it converted to another rom (ADP, ect) just ask.

EDIT: it also has a custom boot screen, that i think you'd find particularly interesting
EDIT 2: forgot to add disclaimer!
as usual, you can not hold me responsible for any damages or ect.. i have tried and tested the update.zip 5 times before distributing, and it has worked each time. if you experience any troubles, please feel free to ask here (although you shouldn't encounter any!)
EDIT 3: updated with compressed version [link already updated]
I really like the fact that it uses the default icons for the apps! Then new apps downloaded don't look out of place at all. Thats one of the main reasons I don't have a theme right now but you may have just changed my mind! Thanks for this

Same here. I used all the default icons, i only changed the home screen really. I think the other themes are really over doing the changes.

I don't mind all the changing of all the little things but the apps kinda bugs me. Maybe I'm just ocd like that but I just like things to match & flow together. I have bettercut now so it helps but its not the same.
Very well put
Have you installed the theme to your phone yet? (just curious to see feedback on the boot screen haha)

Actually I just bought dxTop so I don't know that I'll be installing themes anytime soon. I think I'll try my hand at skinning that & then see what happens from there. Would it be alright if I tried skinning it using your theme? I really like the blue
Be my guest
Sweet thanks!
no problem

i appreciate the hardwork u have done but should ask permission first.. i tried porting one theme and i am using it but the aurthor didnt give permison to distribute as he will port it him self. Sort of a repect to their hardwork
cheers mate
As i already said, i will make the port the next week. Please remove this, as i will release the project fully working here on xda. I dont know.why is.so hard to respect a developers decision...
I dont think anyone dies one week+beside that you should ask me before you post it.

[Q]How to change 'Conversations.apk' background color

Device: Xperia z1c

However is there a way to edit those background colors, its a bit too dark for me.

To change apps from light to dark you need to edit the styles.xml in the values folder of whatever app you want to mod, decompile one of mine and compare it to your stock and that will be your starting point, the rest is usually in the layouts folder and/or pngs to suit. There's a few links in my APK Modding & Theming Thread that will help too.

Im downloading the fix you said for s3, will try to figure it out what must be done, but expect not much as im no developer
Maybe the porter (@Arsaw) answer you more clearly
Edit: after a fast look, you need to mod framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar plus another Files pushed to media/audio/ui and a permission file in etc/permissions.
Contact the original dev to have more further assistence

Brother ..... lol.....u can't even imagine how many times did I ask not even him but also many others on how to port Water colour effect but none of them responded. Idk why the guides *HOW-TO* are getting more and more less on xda. People are not giving them any more attention.
Coming towards the files which are needed to mod. I know which files are to be modded but I don't know what has to be modded inside them. Like in framework idk after decompiling what I have to do.
Hope you got what I mean.

I imagined you've already tried to contact them.. And yes, i do understand what you mean. I have disassembled android.policy.jar using THIS. I think you need to disassemble your original one and place some files of the modded one, the files i think will do the trick are below (in disassembled android.policy.jar):
** in com\android\internal\policy\impl\keyguard\sec
all the "WaterColorRenderer" ones
inkeffect folder
all the "LensFlareView" ones for lens flare
** the one hand ones are suposed to be in com\android\internal\policy\impl\sec
Maybe that do the trick, you can try this, recompile (in that tutorial have this part too) and push it to your phone. If you don't get a bootloop, probably the thing left to mod is framework-res, but this one i don't know what to do - yet
Some things i still don't know:
- how do the options appear in the lockscreen effect options menu
- i think its not in framework-res, because yesterday i messed up with my rom, replaced framework-res with one that hasn't light effect but the option was still there. But when i selected it, got bootloop
I want to figure it out too, if you made a progress, please let me know

Brothet thanks for your support and concern. Well there is much more to place in android.policy.jar and in framework as well. This would take us ages to figure out what has to be done in order to get water colour effect. Only the developers can tell us.
brother I already contacted arsaw but couldn't get any response. Can you ask him maybe he may respond you.
Thanks once again.
Added universal version, intended to work on every i9305 4.3 roms. Please test and give feedback.
Here is a pair of screenshots of my i9305 running TGP 16.01 with your theme. It also has the S5 fonts, Note 3 keyboards, sounds, bootanimation, and themed sms app and S5 launcher. It works flawlessly!
If I could I would make a whole update package.

[Q] How to develop themes?

So I have been searching for a black and white theme for the quick settings and have failed to do so. Is there any way someone can teach me how to make one? I have a lot of experience with graphic design. Also is it possible to edit the system ui to change the colors of the settings pdf and other bright white pages? I dont mind working on that either.

You'll be able to change most of the graphics, but and XML editing requires the decompiler.
