theming menu backgrounds - Android Themes

Im having a problem theming pop up background colors. For example if you hot the menu button in the browser, you get new windows bookmark etc... the background I have for that is black with white text. However if I hit the more option? It brings up a new pop up menu with the same blavk background but now the text is black and I can't see it.
So my question is what file is it to change that background and where or where is the. Xml file to change that font color to white? Thanks!

Thanks, but I didn't find what I was looking for in that topic.

I'm pretty sure that's either in resources.arsc or services.jar in system/framework/framework-res.apk...I can't remember what sub folder it was maybe values/styles...you will have to decompile them using apktool or some other tool that uses smali /baksmali ... hope this points you in the right direction.

[Q]background color in root explorer

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?

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!

I'm not to bothered about the counter color. The thing that I would like to mod is the orange high light when you hit the SMS unread icon. Has anyone changed this so there is no color at all when you select it

[request]No bubble, just the digit, please.
I would like to see this widget with only the digit visible, no bubble, no outer ring or glass effect.
I have posted on the "Transparent widget skins" thread -->here but I think quite heavy coding is required. Only managed to remove the glass effect of the bubble.
There is a work around for this using Minimalistic text and Tasker, so it is not a problem for me, but would be nice to see a free and easier alternative.
Also, it will require some digging in the "Post your screen shot" threads but the black bubble mod is there somewhere.
Here's a gold one and orange one, although they are very similar.
Okay, I've figured out how to mod the bubble color, but I can't figure out the text color.
Here's pink with white text and black with white text.
Transparent might be tough, because the bubble is RGB and not ARGB, so there is no alpha value control transparency.
I'll keep trying for for text color and transparency.
Awesome guys, thank you!

Install them like any regular app. If you already have SMS Unread Count on your phone, it should just update with the new color.

The folder you need is a subfolder of the data folder on the SD card. You should put them in "sdcard/data/com.kanokgems.smswidget/".
If it doesn't exist, create it.
ty very much. didnt even notice the folder was there

[Solved][Q]Which file to mod to change toggle colour?

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.

The icons are whitish and they disappear in white background.
Actually when you touch the icon to turn on a specific feature...it becomes more bright and more visible. I have kept the text of toggles bright white so they are always more visible and comfortable to look.
But I will thibk what should I do to make toggle icons more viewable.

For thicker signal bars I think I require systemui.apk from emui2.3. Then I can change them in the upcoming weekend.
