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

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?

Hi all,
I'm new to themes and am trying to figure out where the various 4G connection icons are located so I can change them from green to white.
Running the GreybreadX theme, which is great, but the 4G icon is still green.
I was able to locate the 3-bar and disconnected icons within framework-res.apk but not sure where to look for the 2-bar and 1-bar icons.
Any suggestions on where to check?
You should find them in /system/app/SystemUI.apk
inside there: SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/
Then look for pngs beginning with stat_sys_data_wimax
..all sorts of notification bar (etc) goodies in there. If you're decompiling and/or modding xml/smali though, I'd read up on it first within these forums.
Ok so I finally got around to editing the 4G icons to be white/grey instead of green/grey, removed the originals from SystemUI.apk and placed mine in there, and placed the edited SystemUI.apk in /system/app/ (made backups of everything).
Rebooted and I still have green/grey 4G icons... what am I missing here?
Edited png files attached.
I don't have it in front of me, but check the framework-res.apk in the drawable hdpi folder. There are a couple sets of 4G icons- once its activated, and then to display your signal.
Also, btw, i usually just drag the edited icons over into the apk (in 7zip) and make sure it asks to replace the files... just to make sure the file names are the same.

Ended up going back to the stock systemui.apk and using Ninjamorph to overwrite the original images. Worked perfectly!

Hello, i almost finished my new theme for mdpi devices for cm7
Only thing i need to edit for now is text color in tabs
<image in attachments due 8 post limit>
I have no idea how to change it. Tried decompiling contact.apk but with no luck.
I also tried to copy colors.xml from other skin and put it in res/values/ (i used Zdunex25's Optimus2x theme as a base) but the skin does not have colors.xml file by default and im afraid that it does not read it somehow.
I hope someone helps you cause that looks kinda nice.
thanx, i guess ill change the tab graphics instead of changing text color
still no help ?
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.
