How would I go about changing the colors of the text in Latitude? I'm guessing that I would have to edit the XML, but I wasn't really too sure what was going on when I opened it up in a Hex Editor.
Basically I just want to change the person's name and the subtext, the location, to white.
Anyone...?
Can someone please help?

Thanks Rori, but I'm actually using Metamorph. I just need someone to help me edit the XML as I don't really understand the binary code affecting the colors.
I'm guessing the files I need to edit are:
friend_item_text_color.xml
friend_item_text_color_secondary.xml
Can anyone please help?

Is this even what I'm supposed to be looking at?
Am I posting this in the wrong forum?
As the other poster said, use apktool (apktool d *apk* *directory*). This will decompile the apk into human legible text, which you can then edit (I'm assuming the widget text will be kept somewhere in re/layout). After making your changes, recompile using apktool (apktool b *directory*), place the changed xml in the metamorph. Done

I'm sure you are all familiar with the new MIUI craze, I'm currently working on a theme for MIUI but its not actually going to be applied through the theme manager. Sadly this one needs xml edits to change the status bar font to white.

Thats the current progress of the theme, basically looking to black out the pulldown in a matte style. I have all the recourses done and in place I just need help changing the font to white. I've googled searched here and every other android site I can think of how to do it.
I've attempted editing with a hex editor.. that didn't work the series of numbers I was told to look for didn't even pull up while searching in the hex editor.
I've edited the xml files, Status_Bar.xml, Status_bar_expanded.xml, and status_bar_latest_event_content.xml and got no results. I tried editing the services.jar file and got nothing as well or it would cause boot loops.
To put it simply I'm not sure if I'm just not doing these edits rite or what but I have tried just about everything I can think of to change this font. Tried every tutorial I could find, and I just simply cannot do it. So I'm here asking for help from anyone that knows what they are doing or how to do it differently.
MIUI 1.2.4 is the build I'm trying to do this on, android build # 2.2.1.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated by not only me but the entire MIUI theming community I'm sure.
Does anyone know which .xml I need to edit to change the text color of the menu @ the bottom of this pic? As you can see or not see, the text is to dark to read. Thanks.

you can do it two ways...you could swap white/black in colors.xml (but that ll screw stuff up) or you can change what the menu calls on in styles.xml....
i link this in my "how to theme thread" but here it is anyway
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9664604#post9664604
if you want a color other than white you d have to edit colors.xml as well though or change what color it calls on in that edit to another in colors.xml
Thanks nitsuj17! That just bought you a credit in the OP of my theme thread LOL!

Here is a small tool I developed to help perform color swaps without referring back to a table or website every few minutes.

The clipboard function won't work unless it detects clip.exe somewhere in your path env. I'm pretty sure that cuts out anyone running XP-32, but it can always be added.
I tried to include as much screw-up detection as possible to avoid errors, but as always let me know if you find something I missed.
Nice Work! Very convenient.
I had contemplated adding in something for the hex format conversion (123456 to 563412) as well, and allowing a set of colors to be entered in rather than just one. As always, any suggestions are welcome.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Amazing tool!!!!
Can't wait to try this, thanks!

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, i went with this forum because it's more a developer thing.
I'm wanting to get started on playing (you call it modding/developing, i call it "seeing what happens") with a rom to eventually get my own made (im a newb, dont worry devs....
I started looking into "Phone.apk", ive decompiled it and i wish to change the colours of 1: the tabs along the top and 2: the number buttons 1 - #...do i do this via editing an image in /res/drawable-mdpi(etc) or via xml? if the latter, which xml. Also, i've opened one of the .xml's in Notepad++ and all i get is:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

This thread is not development related. Do not post in the wrong section in the future.
And you wonder why people post in Development section......
