Greetings, my question is regarding the thread title, also referring to my screenshot (noticing the apps titles are in black colour)
Before I start my explanation, I should mention the source of this stock 5.0 theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/themes-lg-g3-lg-home-t2887118
(It's originally from @Cloudyfa)
So my request being a guide to change the black colour apps text back to normal white. Can anyone pls guide me how to edit the colour coding in the theme apk or whichever procedure that I should follow? I do not have deep knowledge on the coding but I can decompile and edit apk at the very least.
Thanks

All these colors are in /res/values/style.xml
look for icon menu
list view
and any other menu instances that have that light grey, looks to be pretty close to white, maybe cccccc
make them black and youll be good to go.
i really like how the people app looks in ics
can i edit framework to change the settings menu background to the white color in the people apk? as well as change the text to black so i can actually see it? maybe even make the dialer have a white background as well. thanks for any help i would love to make ics more of a "light" theme.
EDIT: is it possible to change the image in frame work labeled (not sure on the name) holo_background_dark.png, if i did replace this how to i change the font to be dark as well
a lot of text issues arise when making a white theme. more so than just changing the text color in framework and sysui
It's possible, of course, but the fact that you are asking those questions warrants the answer 'but not advisable for YOU to mess with it'.
It's not simple as 'changing one background/text color'.
Edit: if you are really determined to do it, take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

thank you for the guide.
my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?
if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.

Hi.
I've been playing around with my phone for a while now. I used UOT Kitchen to get transparent notification bar.
But what I'm really interested in is a transparent app drawer. I have gone through all the .png's in systemUI, framework-res, twframework-res, touchwiz30launcher and i did not see a single .png that the system would use as a app drawer background.
And as far as i understood the transparency is enabled in those .xml files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255155 - this is what I'm talking about.
I'd be glad if anyone would tell me what lines/files i have to add and where.
And if anyone bothers to help me, I will most definitely make a guide how to do this
And also, is there a way to change the background color in menus with font color ( cuz i've seen ROM's with white background and grey font)
Peace
PS! I didn't know whether I should post this in General or here, but as it is theme related I believe it belongs here.

I cannot for the life of me find the .png i need to change to make the call log and favorites adopt this same format (attachment 2,3)? its a blue/black mix and i want it swapped out - would also love to change the text to ICS like the rest of my APKs
