Can someone point me in the right direction for a system-wide green highlight theme? (see below)
The only one I found modded some of the tabs and made them circular/ovalish...
Neejay said:
Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make a theme/flash/zip whatever to make ALL the system highlights GREEN.
I don't want any of the icons/notification bars/squares or anything else changed. JUST green highlights.
I'm personally using the Super D 1.9.3 (1.6 based).

It's absolutely NOT an easy task dude... too many thing to modify... some requiring hex editing, baksmali or even compiling from source...

Damn...I don't know anything about it really. I guess there's a reason this isn't abundant? I've seen a few blue/red/pink/etc. highlights, but hardly ever any greens.
DarkStar has a lot of green... Elegance too... and i think almost every Hero one... just download a bunch of them and test!

Cool, but are they JUST green highlights? I don't want a black theme, I don't want other stuff to be different (text, icons, etc.). I'm just looking for green highlights over the stock orange one.
YESSS!! I want the same thing the orange is just a horrible color! I want my normal theme with green highlights that would be perfect

Go to morphs by wigwag. There's a MM for green selection effects. I think that's what you're looking for?

wigwag's is actually the only one I've found, but his 2.6 version (last time I checked) made some of the tabs oval/roundish instead of leaving stock. I'll do a nandroid back up and flash it again to double check it.
EDIT: It's not as bad as I thought...few things are still orange (dialing, when you press the numbers, they're still orange; pressed launcher is still orange) but it'll do for now. It's pretty damn good.

this is a great start but i would love to replace all things orange especially those of which are on the home screen.
Try my FastTestGreen theme, system-wide green highlights, battery from FastTest, and colored notifications

I know how..
I have been doing a similar task, except I have been replacing all of the orange with blue. The main things you need to modify are the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ and Launcher.apk in /system/app/
The apk files are just zip files renamed to apk. I believe that some (such as the Launcher.apk) have to be zipped without compression. I have also read that these need to be signed, but I have not had any problems doing so without them.
So, backup these files, modify them using the image editor of your choice (there are probably around ~300 images to modify), and then in recovery replace the apks with your new modified ones.
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to change the default color scheme on a stock android Nexus One 2.1? You know how yellowish orange is used for everything, loading bars, selecting options and many other things. Is there anyway to select a different color for this job?

No, you can't select a colour because they're all images. About the best you can do is replace them all. Most (all?) of them are in framework-res.apk.
and to replace those, you have to unlock =|
You'd also have to dig into your launcher and replace colors there. Its really not hard to do, I modded my framework-res.apk with files from a desire rom, then adb pushed them to where they needed to be. The launcher, whichever one you use, will have to be resigned, though.
I've pretty much gotten a theme put together for GB (using CM). However, I've run into one small but annoying issue; the highlight color when highlighting a word or words. We still get that gawd awful orange/yellow.
I assume what controls the color is an .xml file as we've made adjustments to virtually every graphic both in framework and systemui. However, a lot of the .xml files are cryptically named so it's hard to zero in.
If any GB themer could shed some light and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome thanks man
I don't know if this is how it is on the phone but in your picture the 'black' has a green square next to it. Also, does this overwrite the current accent colors? What I mean is, if I already have xboxmods SP1 installed will I now have like 3 different 'green' accents listed? If yes to the multiple 'green' accents, could this be fixed? If no, fantastic!
EDIT: One other thing. Would it be possible to have the names listed with spaces? For example at the top you have 'darker blue' (good) but lower down you have things like 'mediumblue' and 'oldlace' (bad grammar) and so on. It would just look better/more professional.

OMFGGTFOLMFAO!
Use your registry editor to do whatever you like!
This is the same List Box Selection listed in Microsoft Programming manual for Windows Phone 7 for making a Silverlight application with exception of adding
nokia blue, darker blue, darkest blue & navy seal blue.
I added those in myself.
They are simply 6 digit html color codes along with an added alpha channel
Every color needed 3 lines of code in the registry properly named and numbered
We did it buy the book so this is as professional as possible! If you want to rewrite the book or the registry or make a nice video tutorial for someone to learn something buy all means be my gest.
If you want to take your phone to lows or home depot & mach up color names please to so!
Everything has now been hardcoded in to the registry. The colors where actually already there but the registry values had not been written yet! Microsoft gave us 10 colors & allowed careers to add 3 of their likening for business purposes the problem is with both Windows mobile 6.5 & Windows phone 7 is that Microsoft gave us the bare minimum of what we actually needed without customization options.
Which is the #1 reason why wp7 is not more popular than android.
They just wanted to make something that worked well & be light in size.
When Microsoft make something thay don’t make it to look good. They make it to work good. Because if it works good then it will look good! ;~) So now it works & looks good! You have 154 new colors in your system that take up almost no space. I whooping 33.34kb is next to nothing! & on top of that you can now customize your phone in the blink of an eye!
Keep in mind that some of the colors don’t mix well with the dark & light background!
For instance if your using darkest blue on a black background you have trouble reading the darkest blue text! & other visual problems will occur with the mix of serein colors.
As you can see a lot of medium & light colors have been implemented because most use a dark background however we could possibly make more darker & darkest colors!
The darker your tiles the less battery drainage!
I note there are 2 blues 2 to greens but they different shades.
In time more colors will eventually be added!
The 10 default colors are not named correctly but more or less just simple easy to see colors.
You can simply remove or rename any accent color you like.
I had to do a lot to get you guys here and I had also a lot of help to bring you this
However I don’t exactly feel like typing up 50 names of thanks so I will just say thanks to everyone! I just cranked out lines & lines of code on top of a lot of other work I’m doing this was just a side project please don’t say its not profesonal it’s a gift. Unwrap it!
I also converted to HTML (Hyper Text Markup Lang) But nvm enjoy!
also feal free to make 100.000.000 more! & share hear!
Works great !!! very good job , now plenty themes to choose from !!! nice work.
I can confirm that to..works great!sooo many colors

Yes there is,
Black 000000 displays as what ever color you have set to your theme to at the time of picking it.
If you pick black it will work just fine with the exeption of you not being able to read black text on a black background.
will this work with every rom? using ctrlpda latest 6.5 and loving it

We just did!
Nice colors! Thanks, but I have duplicates how can I remove them easily?
Is there a remove cab so I can delete all existing colors before re-applying?
Why doesn't your Colors cab just overwrite the ones already there?
I already use a program called Advanced Config. It lets you make your own colors on the phone, rename them and much more.
Mod Edit: Attachments removed per OP request. ~TRM
Well, for those of us that prefer not to have duplicate colors listed in an already very large list, I have edited the color rgu in the CAB and attached it to this post in a zip. All it needs is to be re-added to the cab and resigned, something xboxmod would have to do. I also fixed the theme names so that there are spaces in-between the words in the name. For example 'AliceBlue' is now 'Alice Blue' as this offers a much more professional and polished look for the end user.
EDIT 1: I'll ask xboxmod if he can build the cab again for us. If he does I'll post it here. I don't want to take any credit for this as it is a good idea that wasn't mine, I just want a better end result.
EDIT 2: xboxmod was nice enough to rebuild the cab but I noticed some errors I overlooked so I will be fixing those and then pestering xboxmod again.
EDIT 3: Ok, so I have edited jackrabbit's cab so that it should have no duplicates (this is assuming 7720+SP1 or higher) and have the names with proper spacing. Enjoy!
jackrabbit72380,
I would like to say THANK YOU for your gift!
Cheers,

Thare is a bug in the Accsent colors made with Advanced config.
The program uses old version of "xxxx_ThemeResources.xaml" & "xxxx_System.Windows.xaml".
There is some applications that wont display text corectly.
Also thare are not duplicate colors In COLORS.cab If you have duplicate colors then you can simply remove them with a registry editer as I stated in my second post.
We dont want an advanced config! Insted we have advanced system menu with all tweeks cooked in. witch is what we try & do.
just navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/0/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/1/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/AccentsDisplayName
Then remove the values you like.
In all 3 directorys for each accsent!
Honistly you should not even have to do this.

dont think thats true, the back light is always on and is consistant across the screen, the display panel then has several layers of filters, electrodes and other molecules which light passes through, to display darker colours the display needs to block more light coming through, which in a tiny way, will use more energy. If you want to use less energy you need to block less light, ie have a white background and have a primary (light) colour
Yes, Geek alert!
i doubt its even measurable on our devices so i wouldnt worry but for hardcore energy savers, light is the way to go with colours, dark is the way to go with backlight (thats the biggest energy blackhole we have)

Thanks, but can you also ask xbmod to give us a remove cab with it. Honestly, every cab should be removable in case users have problems.
A few issues I'd like to mention:
I set one of the new colors yesterday, and this morning I noticed my phone was very sluggish. I switched back to one of the original colours, and my phone was immediately back to normal speed. This cab was the only thing I changed on my phone yesterday, so I think there could be an issue somewhere.
Also, the new colours don't take effect inside 3rd party apps like Whatsapp. I don't mean the tile, I mean inside the program (e.g. A-Z in contacts) where the new colours always show up as the default blue.

hi, i was porting a theme to my sgsII, and ran into a problem.
it is okay in the screen shots that it seems normal.
but when you look at the screen in person, in the highlighted part, inside of the circle, is blue.
i only changed btn_circle_xxx's in Contacts.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-finger.
do i have to change anything else to make it seem all gray?
Just an idea bro but for a quick fix why dont you leave the color it was before and the files that you themed upload to the uot kitchen and change the highlight color like that.
