[Q] Gingerbread Theme Editing (Overscroll glow and notification transparency) - Captivate Themes and Apps

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what files needs to be edited to obtain the overscroll glow effect and the transparency in the notification pull-down bar.
I wanted to port over a theme I liked using the APK Manager to my current rom (S-VII) but I dunno what to edit in order to obtain these two effects.
I know the framework.apk file effects the overscroll glow but i don't know what image or xml edit i need to do.
Thanks.
(If possible where the no clock notification and the pop up animations edits can be made would be appreciated but the other two above take priority. Thanks.)

You can accomplish most of these mods with the UOT kitchen.
If you want to do the overscroll effect yourself though you will need to edit the framework.jar (in the /system/framework folder) on your ROM. You can use this tutorial if you want to do it manually, or download the attached pre-modified framework.jar from Serendipity 7. It's JVO based, but should work on all Samsung-based Gingerbread ROM's according to the tutorial I listed a minute ago.
To change the color of the glow effect, edit the 2 overscroll png's located in the framework-res.apk. (also can be done with the UOT kitchen)
Download framework.jar
Here's also a post that may help
The way that I make the status bar and notification pull-down shade transparent are by using Photoshop (or GIMP) to make them the color I want and then to make them transparent. These PNG's are also located within the framework-res.apk. This can also be done with the UOT Kitchen.

I hope this helps.

thanks ill play around w/ this more

White Notification Bar Evil Eris?

I was wondering if it is possible to install a fully working white notification bar on the Evil Eris ROM v3.0. I've tried searching the forums and have installed the bar successfully, but the clock is white on a white background, which is extremely annoying. I've tried fixing it with the new spare parts by changing the clock color and still no go. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
try going into the zip file for the white notification bar and changing it? I dont know, im basically a noob, just about a year of experience
Changing the clock color requires you to edit the services.jar file. Do a search of the entire site on changing the clock color.
I've done it before but it's not easy. Requires smali and baksmali and opening up a classes.dex file.

[Q] Change Icons/Colors of Stat.Bar Buttons?

I am trying to theme my status drawer. I am having a heck of a time finding the files to change the color and images of the toggles in the drawer (WIFI,Bluetooth,GPS,Mute,Rotate).
I have been looking in:
framework-res.apk -> res-> drawable-hdpi
I attached a image of what i am trying to change.
I would love some direction on this. Thanks.

Answer: twframework-res.apk
Changed:
-Greenish/blue on/off switches to truer blue with a fade out on either end
-Drawer background to pure black with 80% transparency (i think ill go 90 later)
-Drawer handle partially transparent
-Screen rotate Icon replaced
..I removed them completely, as I nerver understood, what they were for.

[Q] Theming: Text color

I've been experimenting a bit with theming by just replacing .png's in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. But now I need to change the text color of the notifications in the pull-down. Can anyone just give me a quick tutorial on how to do this?
Thanks.

[Q] Notification Pulldown File Name

What is the name of the file (and where is it located) for the notification pulldown? Trying to theme it, but I swear I can't find it.
it is in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk
Found it. It's called "status_bar_background.png" It's in the framework apk.
Is that the file that controls the blue section of my screenshot? I want to change it but am not sure how. Do I just replace that file with a same sized square of my chosen colour? And is the transparency automatic, or do I have to make my replacement file transparent somehow?

I'm still trying to figure out the blue bar thing myself, but the background transparency is controlled by whatever you make the transparency of the background image.

[Q] How to theme quick settings icons in Lollipop?

Hi, I'm trying to theme the quick settings icons of Lollipop on the One through a CM12 theme. I know it's possible because other themes have done it. Does anyone here know how I can do this?

This is theme dependant. Some themes like Flux do it... Others like roam or blakkat don't...

On Cyanide L, if I not use a theme, I can change colors directly I Cyanide options
Steps to theme Quick Setting tiles in Lollipop:
1. Grab SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your ROM.
2. "apktool if" framework-res.apk and "apktool d" SystemUI.apk
3. Navigate to apktool/SystemUI/res/drawable
4. The QS tiles are vector drawables that go by the name "ic_qs_" and somtimes other names(for example: ic_zen for no notification sound tile and ic_livedisplay_ for LIveDisplay tile on SlimLP)
5. You can directly color the .xml's by changing the color code inside the XML. Compile the CM TE apk(or RRO Layers theme) with your themed QS tiles in both res/drawable and res/drawable-v21
6. Or cou can convert the vector XML's to SVG and export them in Inkscape/Adobe Illustrator as PNG and mod them that way.
Changing colour codes is easy. Theming the full icons is a long and tedious job! Makes you respect the effort that themers take for their work way more.
If you need more personal help, you can send me a PM, since I might not check this thread again

Thanks! I can't seem to find these instructions anywhere.. I'll try to mod it with PNG files.
