Uhh that's my least favorite thing about theming... You have to edit services.jar. I myself have harshly failed in editing it. My best attempt was when I got all the text red :S This is much easier if you have the CM settings though. Then you can just change it in there If you don't have CM settings you can search XDA and the web on how to change the clock color (this will give you most results)
Not sure if this would be of any help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630&highlight=white+text
If its for a CM rom chanhge the colors in CMSettings then export to .xml in one of the options so that people can load that and have the right colors

all im askin for is what files do i need to access i think i know what ones but to make sure.
what file to change the colour of the clock and what file to change the network text colour in notification bar when its open.
if you can do it detailed itll help too.
thanks codex
p.s sry for hassle ive been doing this for 2 days now
You need to learn how to edit xml for android to edit that notification colors. I used the colorchanger.jar on Eugenes 2.1 eclair rom and it worked for me so It's not only for Cyanogen. I used the go full command aswell so it can be made to a full rom. I just learned to do this yesterday so I'm sure you will understand too
Yeah. Managed to change it, it turned red so I delted the high16 letters and it turned white the only problem was the network text colour. Only prob is I don't know how to use colour changer. Instead I resorted to pushing and puling files as well as editting the classes.dex

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

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.

I am currently looking to find a way to invert the settings menu. All the white bothers me. I have decompiled it and searched the pngs, and see none that represent a similar greyish white, so I feel it may not be a png. If it is, anyone know what png or where?
I know the menu_list.xml has a value for background = #ffffffff, which does match white. I change that to black (#ff000000) and menu_item.xml has an entry for TextAppearanceLarge, which does represent white text. I add inverse to switch to black text.
After compiling and adding to my phone, I can not find any physical changes. So I edited some of the text in the /values/strings.xml and test again. Now I see a change, but only change I see is to the text I changed. So no clue what the menu_list and item change. And still at square 1.
Any one have any input how to theme settings.apk?

Hello,
I would like to change color of highlighting numbers in SMS messages but I'm lost and not able to find a right place where to change it. I looked at framework-res.apk and also com.htc.resources.apk but no luck. See attached image, if not clear what I was talking about. Does anybody know where I can change such color, please?
Thanks for any help.
I am asking a similar question about theming and how to change the selected / highlighted "text color" when "cutting and pasting", searching or selecting a link in my browser.
Specifically for Sense ROMS 2.1 or 3.0 with GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. The T-Mobile HTC MyTouch theme called "Safari" has everything blue for the text selections and highlights, and want to have this same feature on a standard HTC ROM. Not a green color fan.
Looking for what *.xml file controls this in the framework files?
Is this XML in the
com.htc.resources.apk
framework-res.apk
files?
Again, trying to do the same thing, to learn which xml file controls this.
TIA

Those color codes will be in the messaging apk not the the framework or the resources. HTC has many color codes over writting each other. I would start in the messaging app.
These color codes are MOSTLY in the framework files, otherwise when you change skins they would always be the same green. This is not the case. Try it yourself with a different skin other the the HTC default.

I know about themes more then you think. I don't use the stock SMS app so not so sure about that one but before you say I should try it have a look at the SS. I know my way around the framework enough to change everything.
