Is there a way to have the "Startbar" "Deskbar" a shiny black hue, similar to using Base Hue/greyscale, but having it pre-coded in the respective "scheme.xml"?
I would guess it would require changing some of the below values or adding new ones, but all i can get thus far is a medium grey. :-(
<colorscheme><title>N15H_HUD</title>
<scheme>
<color name="COLOR_HOMETEXT" value="#FFFFFF" />
<color name="COLOR_HOMERULE" value="#000000" />
<color name="COLOR_HIGHLIGHT" value="#0066CC" />
<color name="COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT" value="#000000" />
</scheme>
</colorscheme>
Was wondering where the png or the xml file is to change it to black like gingerbread when u press the menu button. Or even slightly black transparent. Where in the framework res is it located? Thanks!
Its in the gb theme. Its a .9.png that needs to be edited in the framework. Then you have to replace all the icons that show up in that menu with lighter icons our colorfull ones. You also need to edit a couple xmls to show the text right

Mystery, seeing as you're a theme dev, you'd probably know the answer better than I would, could someone just extract some of the images from one theme and replace them in another theme to get the look they want? (Sorry to derail the thread.)
Thanks for the quick reply. What's. The .9png file name. And xml located for the text?

You are correct but the xml edits are gonna have to be done in a decompiled apk. You can't decompile a custom framework and the recompile it. You have to start with a stock framework. Your best bet is to ask your theme dev if this is something he's willing to do

I'm not sure of .9 off of the top of my head I would have to look at my files. All I can tell you is its in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hpi.
As far as the xml goes I would have to check my notes that the dev of the gb theme have me.

This is something i haven't done or looked into. From what I have seen I believe the widget picker text is controlled in styles.xml. The compressed calender image looks like a .9.png error. The input text I haven't seen at all and I'm getting a feeling that would be controlled from app 2 app

prejudice would like to change a simple setting png as a background but I do not know how to do .... the value of style.xml is simply this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light" />
</resources>
how can I do ?

I'm not really sure what or how you're trying to do this, but if i'm following you right you could do something like this
Code:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/app_theme_background</item>
</style>
app_theme_background being your xml in drawable that defines the drawable/s
Here's the original xml from framework drawable (screen_background_selector_light.xml)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/screen_background_light" android:state_accelerated="false" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/background_holo_light" />
</selector>
'screen_background_light' or whatever you wish to name it...being your alternative hex color in values/drawables (guessing that's for slower devices or something)
'background_holo_light' or whatever you wish to name it being your alternative background image.
[GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Full Statusbar Brightness Android 4.3
This will give back full brightness to 4.3 TW statusbar on ENTIRE statusbar (left and right notification areas).
SystemUI/res/statusbar.xml edit:
Search for two occurrences of alpha and delete that part of the statement out of both lines. Example:
Delete code highlighted in RED.
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notification_icon_area" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" [COLOR='RED']android:alpha="@dimen/notification_icon_area_alpha"[/COLOR]>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/system_icon_area" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" [COLOR='RED']android:alpha="@dimen/system_icon_area_alpha"[/COLOR]>
Edit: An alternate method requires editing the alpha values in res/values/dimens.xml. I took the easy way out on this one.

Excellent, never noticed how dim it was before. Curious, what's the name of the battery widget in the screen shot?

I can't recall. It is one of the several battery mods included with MOAR Rom.

It's battery monitor widget by 3c
Is the brightness that noticeable? It's difficult to tell the difference between the screenshots on my phone.

Nice observation.
Yes it is fairly noticeable but it's not easy to see from the mobile app. View the screenshots with a pc browser and toggle between them quickly and you will see how it brightens up the entire statusbar and the associated icons.
Wow, there is a difference. I can't decide if I like dim or bright though.
Add this code to your styles.xml in res>values (API 21+ only)
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- This controls status bar color -->
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#B86E00</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#FF9800</item>
</style>
</resources>
Add the color you want the status bar to display in place of #B86E00.
Keep in mind that status bar looks better if it is a bit darker than your app theme.
