Does changing theme affect the notification dropdown? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's been on my mind for the last few day. You see, I use nitrogen resurrection rom which came with theme chooser. Right now I change the theme to Ice9 theme with theme chooser. Everything looks wonderful except the notification dropdown. It looks different from the one in the screenshot of the theme. I hate the one that come with the rom so I really want to change it badly. Is the theme supposed to change the notification dropdown but somehow my phone isn't affected? or maybe it doesn't work like that?
If the theme is supposed to changed my notification dropdown, what should I do so that the change is effective?
Thank you for your attention, whether you answer me or not. Any help will be fully appreciated.

The notification dropdown should change when you apply a new theme using Theme Chooser (if the theme that you apply change it, normally all of them)...try applying other theme

Yeah that answers the question

[THEME][4/3/11]Custom Icons, Settings and Boot Menu

I was inspired to further customize my phone and made my first set of icons. Be kind, this is my first attempt, I wanted the menu on my phone to have the same look and feel of the SuperDark/NitroDark/NitroComb themes, which I love. Thanks to thatdudebutch and nitroglycerine33 for the inspiration and everyone else who themes.
I did not make the images from scratch, I took the images right out of the framework and photoshop'd down to greyscale to try and start with a nice even baseline then added in color in with blue glow to mimic the glow of NitroHoneyComb. Let me know what you think. I don't know how to make a flashable zip yet, but I will share the .png files with anyone who wants them. A zip is now available for download if you like. THIS ZIP IS NOT FLASHABLE YET. IT CONTAINS THE PNG FILES ONLY. I'm working on making a flashable version soon.
Added new icons for boot menu, and matching set for the settings menu also. Still NOT flashable yet, png files only.

Check his great looking theme here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022278). If you like them or have suggestions for the next set let me know.

There are a number of them within framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder that can be changed out. But some apps will pull images from their own apk's and others will pull from the framework. So when using a particular app you might find that 2 of the 6 menu icons are themed the way you want unless you hunt down each one from all of the various apk's. Check nitsuj17's sticky on how to go about swapping images in an apk.
good day.
Thanks for the quick reply, and pointing me in the right direction, sounds like I have some reading to do.

Theme - (EC05) (EF02 Beta) Something Blue v1.0.0

I have been playing with themes for a while now, and I am pretty happy with this one.
This theme is based off SRF1.1.1, but should work on most Froyo Roms. I have used a lot of images from Matted Blues, some from Emotionless Beast, and some from stock Gingerbread. Maddoggins lockscreen mod is included.
Apps themed are contacts, dialer, phone, mediaprovider, settings, and the market. The other apps are there because of the status bar icons.
Thanks goes to MysteryEmotionz, maddoggin, b-reezy, and the original themer for Matted Blues. I also want to say thanks to all the developers, themers, testers, etc. who help do anything for the community. We wouldnt have what we have today if it wasnt for everybody helping to make it what it is.
If I missed anybody, shoot me a pm and I will update.
Anyway, to install:
Clean Cache x3
Clean Dalvik x3
Install zip
Link to zip: http://www.mediafire.com/file/8f5ogyz67q012xk/something_blue_v1.0.0.zip
Here is a beta version for EF02. Everything works, I just havent got around to changing the menu text/background color, and I doubt that I will. I wasnt going to update until official release, but saw a request, so here is something to play with. You need to be on EF02 before you flash this.
Link to EF02 beta theme: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ijus4ruqe312rd5/something_blue_EF02_beta.zip
Edit: EF02 version has blue overscroll to match the theme
Woah, wasn't expecting this (or the Spanish Inquisition). I like! Downloading now.
Wow this is actually really nice. Though seriously, you could of did much better on the dialer =(

I have been using the dialer from matted blues, but wanted something different. This one makes the keys much more defined. I did a lot of work on the dialer and phone apk. I didnt like the green and red buttons, or the green outline for the incoming call so I changed all of them. It is perfect in my mind, to each his own though.

I gave this theme a shot. It looks really good. I didn't have a "contacts" icon though. Maybe I had a bad download though.

What do you mean? I didnt theme the contacts icon, its the list that is themed. I used to have the icon themed, but i have been using more of a touchwiz look lately (not that you can tell from the screen shots)
The icons on my home screen above are on my sdcard. I change them all the time.

Well I guess what it did was take out the contacts icon I had on the bottom of my home screen. I am using Zeam Launcher. It turned the icon into the little android man in a box. I can try it again.

Are you trying to push an icon? I use adw-ex, it lets you change all the icons within the launcher. I keep a file of icons that I created on my sdcard so I can switch them all the time.

No, I just don't have a "contacts" to press but I can get to them from the dialer or messaging so its really a minor thing. I will check out ADW EX also. Congrats on your first theme.

[CM7 Theme][WIP]Unnamed Theme[Need comments]

Hi guys. This is my first shot at theming. My goal for this theme is to create a colorful yet minimalistic look with the ICS feel/layout. Most of the icons will be directly from ICS dump itself but I'll be editing the colours and hand-edit some images from ICS using GIMP. I will not be finishing up the theme so soon mainly due to major exams but I'll be doing some theming in between studying lol and when I feel that it's the right time to release it, I will.
I've only themed several elements so far:
- Scratched Statusbar (slight transparency)
- Wifi
- Signal
- Battery
- Airplane icon on statusbar
- Notifications pulldown
To do next:
- the rest of the status bar icons (gps, bluetooth etc)
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Yeah I forgot. HDPI only.
2nd Update 12/11/11
- clear notifications button is now a nicer trash can (as compared to stock cm7)
- toggle power button selection color is now cyanish-blue
- notification pressed is now blue
Update: 12/11/11
- notifications pull down got a facelift
- changed statusbar icons to not-too-fanciful-but-still-colorful icons
- font colors on status bar and notifications pulldown gets a more brighter cyanish-blue color instead of the darker ICS blue.
- notification panel icon background added. colorful!
I'm considering doing up an icon set as well. Here's a preview.
im first on this one? Looks sick!
nice theme! could you change the battery icon to something new?

Yeah, that's on my to do list next. Don't expect a release so soon though.
Sad "HDPI only"
But it looks good.
i'm all over this theme if you reconsider the HDPI Only part. MDPI gets ignored way too often.
ps. this theme looks sick. nice job!
Change the battery and I'm in. Looks like a good start
I'll consider the possibility of MDPI after my exams. Take note that the majority of what you see, especially the application icons are from LunarUI. I might consider using R3D X's icons in my theme but of course I'll have to ask him first. I'll mainly theme the UI elements (eg Pop up windows, sliders, menus etc).
I've already got an idea for the colours for the battery but no time to execute my idea just yet lol.
Nice theme. RAINBOW for the name? Sorry for my english.

Are you referring to the black-on-black text issue with certain "ongoing" notifications like Downloads, Uploads, or Now Playing in Music? Some apps, like those mentioned, use their own theming XML files for notification text coloring. I prefer to use the more ICS/JB authentic white-on-black text style, and for the very few apps I regularly use that have this issue, it's worth the trade-off for me. If you're handy with XML, you can manually edit the appropriate file(s) within the apk for any apps experiencing this to correct it, but for me, it's not really worth the effort. This is a universal problem for all Gingerbread ROM themes with white-on-dark notification text styles.

I actually modded a Holo Launcher-compatible icon pack that I purchased from the Play Store. Since it was a paid app, though, I can't post it here. I have, however, attached the SGS3 icon files to the OP so that others can do the same. Most Launcher Pro icon packs are compatible with Holo Launcher. I only adjusted settings in Holo Launcher to match the SGS3 launcher so that my changes wouldn't be overwritten every time it was updated. Hope that helps.
icons in phone settings menu, should be colored....
Overall, great theme !
Would it also be possible to theme the dialer?

Just dialer and settings left to fully fit sgs3 theme, it'd be awesome if you themed them too
Oh and I also like to see the percentage inside the battery icon, but thats kind of subjective.
Keep it up dude! And thank you again
As Grakel already said, thats a theme to enjoy (I do too)
Some things to do here and there, rly hope you keep it updated. It's the best SGS3 Theme i've seen so far!
Thanks for your work
I like the theme, but i just want to request something. Is there any way possible the have the battery icon with percentage? Or recover back the Zeus 7.0.3 Theme?

Noob question xD. How can i use these icons you shared? They are packed, how to put them to use in Holo Launcher?

But its not a complete theme... Miss a lot of thing like sms, dialer, contact, setting, calls, group, fonts, etc.

[Request] Can anyone mod Theme (framework-res) and Launcher for stock ROM

Hello everyone,
I really like performance of S5570 stock firmware but I don't like its theme. The menu options background is in white and not transparent so it looks very ugly. The app drawer of stock Launcher is only black and not transparent, too, looks so bad ! Theme (especially menu options background) is so ugly and it is the main reason that makes me switch to custom ROM.
So is there anyone can mod this stock theme, change menu options back ground to white-transparent (Example 50%), gradient or black-transparent? It'll be perfect if you can mod theme (color) like Touchwiz Nature UX.
So may you help me? Thank you very much !
