[Q] Help.... Need to change color of Background, cannot see font

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.

Does this happen when your using the browser? It is def the xmls in the color folder but you have to find out which one. What theme are you using also?

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

menu_background.9.png and the image right next to it meed to be themes, they control the background when you hit soft menu button.

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

[Q] setting background color, how to change?

I want to change the background color of the settings menu from my SGS. It's black now (in every theme, stock or custom).
Anyone know which png file I have to change? Or is this a color described in a color XML file?
I hope someone can help
Kind regards,Vintiem

Really nobody know's? (maybe the reason that also every custom made theme has that standard black background).
Someone knows where I possibly can find my answer?
Kind regards,
Vintiem

Take a look inside settings.apk - I believe there's a bg file in there (haven't tried changing it)...
Edit: Now I can't find it. Hmmm, sure I saw it somewhere...

When there's no png for background it can be .xml related.
You need to decompile Settings.apk to edit .xml-files...

what's the best xml editor?

No one knows which xml doc I have to take to change the background colors?
Greetz,Vintiem

Notepad++

use adw launcher ex

I have ADW launcher ex. But you can change just a few things instead of what I excepted. it's not crap but absolute not what it says: change almost everything!!
So I think I have to live with that ugly black background because no one can tell me how to change it.

Search. You will definitely find in one of the threads in the Themes and Apps forum itself.
And, Please ask QUESTIONS in Q & A forum.
Tip - If you search, you can find a MOD by bala_gamer.
That will change your background to blue.
A simple editing in the file can change the background to your desired shade/color.

Try framework-res.apk/red/values/bools.XML
I'm certain there's a "is white" type setting in there

supreethms is right, but to make it a bit easier the mod is called "touch-wiz glass: and as he mentioned it's pretty much what you're looking for.

Rather than saying THANKS by typing, a simple click would've done it.

[Q} changing settings background color

@all themers out there:
i am on KitSlim Evo9, this ROM is great but the background of the settings menu isn´t very nice (white).
My question: how can i change the background color of it?
I googled a lot but didn´t find something helpful.
I have experience in compiling and decompiling apk´s so this is not the problem.
Thx for your help.
m.

See this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667081, or just grab a "Dark" one from the Themes and Apps section.

In order android versions u could change background by replacing semc_bg or semc background or just background depends on rom. Those files are located in drawable (xhdpi, hdpi etc) inside framework-res

[*]Download themes for your Phone, for other Phones too even and compare the res folders and screen shots of the theme as that will give you a good idea of what image you need to look for when modding your own apks.
