Hi all,
I have been trying to mod the HTC_IME.apk for a week now and other than changing the png's and color's in the color.xml.
I'm looking to edit the png's to color them on rest and push. so basically if someone knows of a layout of all the png's and what one's are used I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
Ok I have been able to make most of my mods. WOO HOO.
I just need a little help with the button font color, what xml is it in?
I have been through almost all of them and compared to other HTC_IME keyboards with the right color font and can't seem to find where the color is hidden for the font on the buttons.
Can someone please help me figure this out?
thanks

Does anyone know how to change the color of the text on buttons? Ive been messing around with my phone a lot and have somehow changed the color to white and now I cant see the text on buttons. I'm running kaos froyo but all of the framework-res has been replaced. I have tried colorchanger.jar but it doesn't control these colors and I cant seem to find what file it is?
I have found a great looking theme that has all it's graphics in the drawable-hdmi folder. The only thing I need to do to use them is resize them to same size as the corresponding file for our phone, correct? Basically spinner_black.png has to be the same dimensions as the original.
Also I want to take the spinner, wait, icon out of the NFL mobile app and use it in my theme. I have been reading a lot and trying to figure this out on my own. I am now able to read all xml files in plain readable English and am able to convert it back to binary. I still don't know what all the java means but I'm trying to learn that now. Does anyone know any easy way to find what I'm looking for or should I just wait and figure it out with the knowledge of more java.
For those who are interested the resources.arsc file found in framework-res.apk is where the control of the color of buttons is located. I dont know how to decompile it into readable form yet but that is what controls colors and size of images for some things. Colors for the notification bar is held is services.jar so at least Im making some headway. I will keep posting small things I find here to help anyone wanting to make there own themes.
P.S. My **** is starting to look really sweet
Did you figure it out?
Please help.
What file controls universal font color? In my port for darkedge everything is black on black.
I have a feeling it's the xml files. Can someone confirm?

Hey guys,
i have changed my Milestone Lockscreen like this Thread [Custom] Lockscreen Background CM 6.1.1 and placed the Clock little more on top. Just using the CM7 port by nadlabak for Milestone.
Now my Background is still a blue/ white picture as u can see here. So it's quiet difficult to read the date and so on.
I want to change the Font Color maybe to light gray or something else, but all attempts failed. As u can see here it is possible. All xml files i've changed doesn't give the result like rori~'s attempt.
It would be nice if someone can help me.
You can make a custom color value to the clock id.
(pull you framework-res.apk, post it and let me see)
CyanClock
here´s my CyanClock (it´s only for CM7) just check the change, not a big deal
Quite simple ... i've changed it like u. To add only this string android:textColor="#ffa4a8a9" i've never thought.
Thanks a lot. Now it works fine for me!

Hey Guys,
i`m searching for a method to change my font color.
As i posted in the "Show your wallpaper sticky" my Wallpaper has a white Background.
I also made the status bar and the dock fully transparent.
So it is impossible to read the clock or something else what is written in white...
Hope someone could give me a kick in the right direction.

Changing the native font colour involves pulling your framwork-res.apk, decompiling it, editing the hex values in XML, recompiling it and then pushing it back to the phone. I'm sure if you Google "change font colour android" you'll find a few guides.
Alternatively, it would be much easier to just use a different background
hi postfatal,
thanks for your response.
i googled the entire morning and this is really the only solution?
*sigh*
so i have to learn a bit more about our beloved android system
i wouldn't change my wallpaper because after 3 years i found a nice new one
So i give it a try and make the impossible possible ;P

Hello XDA members!
I spent lately so many hours trying to understand how to change some elements in the apk in order to have a dark background and a light text. I did all the changes I could into the style.xml, colors.xml, drawable...layout.xml, I digged everywhere I found a color text or background but unfortunately it failed to change the element I want...I just don't know where else can I look??? I was thinking about webview but this is new to me and I have no clue how to manipulate it. I attached two screenshots with what I'm looking for hoping that someone here could bring me a solution??
the first image is what I have and the second one is what I want (modefied using photoshop for inversion). The apk is a news reader apk. Thank you in advance for any assistance!
