I themed a MMS app from CM to be inverted, but there is one section that I can not fix for the life of me. I have used beyond compare and compared to some other apps but I can't find what I need to change. Here is the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1645176&d=1358198445
After you type a name in the to: section and select a recipient it changes to gray with black text. I don't know if I need to change an image for the background or an xml for the font color. I have looked through every font in the xml and there aren't any black fonts left that I can see. I want to either change the background white or the font blue. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you sure this isn't it in your styles.xml?...
Code:
<item name="android:textColor">?android:textColorSecondaryInverse</item>

Yes, it's in there. Should I change it or take it out completely? I can't remember if I mentioned in the OP this is my first time theming, so don't be afraid to talk to me like I am stupid. I very well may be.

We all start somewhere, but all you need to do is look at the other android:textcolor lines then adapt that line above to match except using the hex color of your choice.

I started by changing that line to the hex color, and it did nothing. I went through and changed every single thing to that hex color, just hoping to see anything change at all and no luck. I have a hunch it is some in one of the recipients*.xml files not being linked to a proper font color some how. Would it help if I put up my entire styles.xml up here?

That's from your styles.xml which is why I pointed it out. You need to change - android:textColorSecondaryInverse to #ffffffff, if you've done that and still changed nothing, then yes it must be something else.

hello everyone,sorry for my poor English
I have themed my own phone looks like a Nexus s
mostly every background is black and text is white,except
in root explorer ,when i press menu,the popup is white background and text is white too......then press more .again white background with white text
what can I do....
I hate to bring this old thread up again. But, does anyone have an answer?
It seems that the menu background for some common applications like "Root Explorer" or "Droid Analytics" does not change properly with the theme. Instead, it shows a white menu with white text.
My entire device is completely Gingerbread themed based off of the stock framework-res. But, these menus are totally messed up. White text on white menus. Should be white text on black transparent menus.
I might be way off: But have you guys tried changing the color in the .XML file/s?

I changed the colors for menus within framework-res.apk res/values/styles.xml. All other menus system-wide work fine. Every other application menu works fine.
Which XML are you thinking about?

I was thinking maybe changing color codes in Root Explorer's XML might help. But I don't know.

Oh yeah I thought about that. But, since I'm creating this theme for a ROM used by hundreds of people, I'd rather not have to theme these external applications.
Someone's got to know the answer to this problem!

Ive been searching and searching but just cant find the background for the music bar on the notifications pulldown so I can change it, see screenshots
Anyone know where it is??
EDIT: I have noticed that the same background is used when in a call behind the call in the notifications pull down so that means that it cant be music specific so it must be in framework-res or com.htc.resources but I have searched and just cant find it :-(
What a coincidence... just sent you pm with this...
Did you checked if this is the topround_v1.9.png in HtcMusic\res\drawable-hdpi ?
Edit: Or check the topround_v3.9.png in the com.htc.resources\res\drawable-hdpi

I never took care for that one so far, since it looks fine to me, but you can try the following procedure, since it seems an RGB value, not a png.
1. Make a screenshot
2. Sample the RGB color code in Photoshop
3. go to first xml folder like layout in com.htc.resources and mark all xml and open all of these at the same time in Notepad++
4. Search all files for the sampled RGB value
5. Repeat this folder by folder until you find an entry, that makes sense

Notepad++ has a nice feature that allows you to search through all files in a folder. (Search menu -> "Find in Files" or something like that) With this it should be quite easy to find.
I tried that method and came up with 292c31
I decompiled com.htc.resources, framework and system ui and I found some instances in colors xml and one in drawables but changing all of them didnt work so it must be somewhere else or maybe ive missed something........
I just started messing around with making themes. I know how to modify the xml, png, and .9.png files; but am having problems with the text under the quickpanel icons (ie. wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, orientation).
What files do I need to modify to change the text color under the quickpanel icons? I'm assuming it's in the twframework-res.apk, but I looked through all the xml files and didn't see where to change the text color.
If anyone has some insight, please advise. Thanks

I have done some themeing before, and although I never have changed the text you are asking for and dont know where it is, I can tell you that the first thing you need to do is. Decompile the framework. This is because many xml's are hidden in the apk format. Searxh for apk manager to do so.
After decompiling look in twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml
Each item will have something like android:textColor="@color/tw_colorXXX"
Then look for that in twframework-res\res\values\colors.xml

I know how to decompile and modify the xml files and I use apktool (apkmanager is just a wrapper for apktool).

I already modified the status_bar_expanded.xml colors and still the text doesn't show up correctly (changed all colors to #ffffffffff).
Maybe it's not the text that is the problem but the png background, but changing the status_bar_background.9.png didn't fix it.
Here's the screeny of what I am trying to fix.
I've seen that before. LOL What do you want it to look like?
You sure you didn't modify the text in \res\values\strings.xml?

the text in strings.xml is correct. I just want the text to show
Change them all back to the orginal in status_bar_expanded.xml which should be android:textColor="@color/tw_color001"
That just made the text black, any other suggestions?
I think it might actually be the tw_quick_panel_black_bt.png - I'll modify the png and see if that helps.
tw_color001 should be white.
The background for it is status_bar_header_background_01.png which is where the text is drawn over.
I got it. It was the status_bar_extended.xml, but it was the size dpi which was causing the problems. Thanks for all the help. See screeny
+2 thanks
Can someone tell me how to change the notification text color? What is its corresponding value in the XML files? Thanks.
Just did a search. Looks like you have to get into the classes.dex in services.jar and modify StatusBarIcon.smali
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
Oh, or did you want the notifications in expanded?
In twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml look at the lower section where you'll see android:textColor="#ffffffff" which is hex for white (ARGB), about 3 times. Leave the first FF alone. That's alpha channel.

The text in the expanded notifications panel. Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Not sure if I'm hallucinating or what, but I could've sworn I read in one of the bazillion threads I was going thru yesterday that there was a ROM with a theme or some app that made the email account screens dark instead of that blinding white to give our corneas a little easier time while tooling thru your phone in bed at night. My phone is newly "hacked" (whatever u wanna call it) and I hoping what I'm talking about truly exists. I've searched backwards and forwards and haven't found it again. FX'd that one of you folks can point me in the right direction Thanks!
can only be done with registry edits and with the registry edits you lose the light theme backgrounds.

using any Reg Editor...
[HKLM\Control Panel\Themes\0
change all values from light to dark.
i use this Registry Editor, here.
also, Adv Config Tool allows the changing of Accent colors for first two themes with GUI.
else, you can change the values in the registry. (don't change while using the accent, though).

nope, can't delete. will mess up the registry and not allow you to select Themes or Accents. just copy 'dark' and paste over 'light.' will go by quick.

Hi,
Which file is it that I need to change in order to make the colour back to blue in the atached image?
In the old firmware the colour in the toggle was blue, now after updating it is white. It is also the same in the contacts/dialer/favourite contacts screen when scrolling left to right between them. Any help would be great as I really want to change it back.
Thanks

its in the framework im pre sure its xml or smali idk but the themes are just stupid overlays without them its white so im pre sure in frameworks it has origional theme overlay and it makes everything white:silly:
Ok im home and armed with a brew.:good:
Regardless of the Sony theme selected my toggles stay constant, that's the switch and switch background.
Ive never seen toggles in contacts etc so im assuming you mean something else, tab selected maybe?

No probs.
If you have no Sony themes installed then it will be controlled by the default theme (framework/re/drawable-xhdpi/semc_)
If you do have Sony themes then the overlay you need to change is in **Theme.apk/res/valus/color.xml
Code:
<color name="semc_theme_accent_color">#ff0000ff</color>
See the attached screenshots.
I just edited BlackTheme.apk to "ff0000ff" for display purposes.
I managed to fix it.
I had deleted the semc_theme_wallpaper.jpg from
system/etc/customisation/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/walpapers
so the theme was not being applied correctly. Once i restored it i know have the blue back
thanks for the help though

It was probably error-ing out and returning to the default theme.
Glad you got there.
