Hello all.
I am working on a theme for the droid incredible. Everything is working out great so far but I am having trouble changing the text color in the notification area.
The theme has parts of it that are a port from a evo theme so there are 2 areas for layout. layout-hdpi-v4 & layout.
Now I have hexedited status_bar_latest_event.xml / status_bar_expanded.xml / status_bar_latest_event_content.xml in both layout folders. I want to have all the text in the notification area to be white. I have changed the values everywhere I could to FF FF FF FF however the text in a "rest" state is still black. Can someone take a look at this for me and possibly fix it or tell me how to fix it or even better both?
Thanks for your help fellow themers!
Attached is a copy of the framework I am working on.

Anyone who wants to play around with the status bar at the top by changing colours e.g. from standard black to white just edit the file attached. Leave it in png format and the name as it is. Just edit the colour. Use adb or metamorph to include it in a theme or your choosing. And only place it in the following 2 folders - framework-res\res\drawable-480x320 and folder - framework-res\res\drawable-land-480x320.
It may not be necessary for both but it works for me. Jus thought to pass this info on. Cos Im working on icons. All creds to Ratcom as I was searching for this in one of his themes and Foxy Editor dev as I can edit the colour on my phone and also to the dev of Astro for making it easy2copy and paste
cheers guys/girls.

Jm still playin around with other files at the moment. But when i do findout it"ll be on here.jus wanted2share the truble it takes for newbies
I was wondering if it is possible to install a fully working white notification bar on the Evil Eris ROM v3.0. I've tried searching the forums and have installed the bar successfully, but the clock is white on a white background, which is extremely annoying. I've tried fixing it with the new spare parts by changing the clock color and still no go. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
try going into the zip file for the white notification bar and changing it? I dont know, im basically a noob, just about a year of experience
Changing the clock color requires you to edit the services.jar file. Do a search of the entire site on changing the clock color.
I've done it before but it's not easy. Requires smali and baksmali and opening up a classes.dex file.
Just wondering if there's a simple way to edit a MIUI theme? I have Formel's MIUI Mod (now known as KelLMSKing, but I'm still running Formel's last one), and I downloaded the Dark Blue theme from the new one. I like certain aspects of the theme, but other aspects of the original one so I've mixed and matched the two themes for what I like .. almost. The last change I'd like to make: How can I edit the font colour in the pulldown notification bar?
Fixed.. sort of
I fixed this.. sort of.
I downloaded a dark theme that would have the black pulldown notification bar, then when I installed it I de-selected everything (fonts, icons, lockscreen, etc) and selected only the "Theme" which makes the text in the notification easy to read and actual usable checkboxes.
Posting this in case it helps anyone else.
Hi all,
I have been working at this problem for a while now, with no luck. I am building my theme and I've changed the png's for the notification drawer background to black, and then changed all the relevant xml's inside framework-res and SystemUI to have white text.
The only remaining problem is that downloads (as well as media scanning operations) still use black text (which, on the black background renders it unreadable). I've tried editing DownloadProvider.apk to no avail. I even tried at one point to change the system style for StatusBar.EventContent (and .Title) but that didn't seem to have any effect either.
Does anyone have any other ideas as to how to force the text colour to change?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Community,
I´m currently trying to find out which sections in the SystemUI.apk from ICS I have to change to get a white-based ICS.
What I want to change are mainly the notification bar, notification bar expanded background, drawer background, system settings background and the overall text color (would be hard to read atm since it would be white on white )
Does someone know which values I have to change?
I already decompiled the systemUI.apk with help from the JB Theme tutorial, but JB seems to be slightly different.
kind regards
no one who knows them? :l
im pretty stuck atm.
