Question about theming - searching for a graphic's name - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a problem with finding one graphic that can be seen around the system, in messages, contacts I think, but mostly it is in Settings. It is the divider between options, and I can't find it. I tried framework-res.apk, tw-framework.apk, systemui.apk, settings.apk and some others with no luck, maybe someone more experienced could help? I marked the thing with red color on the screen (attachment).

Theme related question

I've been playing around with a few themes and trying some stuff myself, mostly unsuccessfully, but a side effect is that now that I have it looking kinda how I want it I have one issue I can't figure out. The notification bar text, not all of it, just the very top with the date and time, is white. That makes it practically unreadable but I have no idea what file to tweak in which apk. The only options I have are to cry or see if anyone here can point me to the right thing to smack into shape. Anyone?
I realise this is a question and should technically be in Q&A but it's theme related.
you can use colorChange to change the text color, or you can reflash your rom. the clock and date and such are in services.jar, and the notification text is at framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml

Change color of Button Text & General theming Questions

Does anyone know how to change the color of the text on buttons? Ive been messing around with my phone a lot and have somehow changed the color to white and now I cant see the text on buttons. I'm running kaos froyo but all of the framework-res has been replaced. I have tried colorchanger.jar but it doesn't control these colors and I cant seem to find what file it is?
I have found a great looking theme that has all it's graphics in the drawable-hdmi folder. The only thing I need to do to use them is resize them to same size as the corresponding file for our phone, correct? Basically spinner_black.png has to be the same dimensions as the original.
Also I want to take the spinner, wait, icon out of the NFL mobile app and use it in my theme. I have been reading a lot and trying to figure this out on my own. I am now able to read all xml files in plain readable English and am able to convert it back to binary. I still don't know what all the java means but I'm trying to learn that now. Does anyone know any easy way to find what I'm looking for or should I just wait and figure it out with the knowledge of more java.
For those who are interested the resources.arsc file found in framework-res.apk is where the control of the color of buttons is located. I dont know how to decompile it into readable form yet but that is what controls colors and size of images for some things. Colors for the notification bar is held is services.jar so at least Im making some headway. I will keep posting small things I find here to help anyone wanting to make there own themes.
P.S. My **** is starting to look really sweet
Did you figure it out?

[Q] Theming Touchwiz-Dialer

Hey.
I need some help...
Is there anybody familiar with the DialerTabActivity.apk? (Touchwiz, Galaxy S)
I try to change the background for the dial pad (see screenshot).
One thing I don't find is the marked black bar.
Maybe it's part of another apk, I don't.
I'm almost sure that this bar can't be changed in DialerTabActivity.apk, but maybe I missed something.
Help is appreciated
My guess is that it's .xml related.
That's what I thought too.
I already checked colors.xml, drawables.xml and some more (I don't remember, I looked at a lot ).
I need a hint...
EDIT:
Success!
tw_color002 in colors.xml
It gets confusing trying to find all that stuff, huh?... lol.

[Q] MIUI skinning question

Hi All,
I have been looking for the past weeks for the following.
Nobody really replied but Vukandric, who is really busy.
Even on the Miui dev board no answer.
And I cant imagined this has not been asked before.
I am running the black (or dark as it is called) theme for MIUI.
Great, but for me 2 apps which are involving daily activities are still white.
The email-app en the calendar-app (not widget) are still white.
The calendar is white backgroud with black text, even worse, email is white back with lightgrey text.
I would like to get both apps in black background with white text.
Is this impossible? I have not seen a theme yet with this layout.
Or doesn't anybody want this.
I sure could use dome help in achieving this. What files do I need to change and where can these files be found.
Thanx to anyone trying to help in advance.
EJ
depending on whether the backgrounds are images or .xml values(?), you'd have to open up the .apk for the relevant program, find the images you wish to modify, modify them, and add them to the relevant theme.
The text however can be modified with a themes_value.xml in the relevant theme, but I know /little/ in regards to what wording is required, other than the colour being specified as #FFFFFFFF.

[Q] Need help finding an image for HTC apks (contacts, clock)

Alright, so here's my problem...
I'm a newbie themer, and I've been working on making a theme for my HTC Merge. The problem is that I can't seem to find the location of a certain image that I want to modify. The image I'm looking for is used for the bottom background in HTC apps that have a scroller along the bottom... ie: htccontacts, clock, the launcher itself.
I've decompiled com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk searching but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The majority of HTC images I've found have been in the com.htc.resources, but unless I'm crazy, this one isn't there.
I attached an image that shows which part I'm talking about. I've already found the image for the scroller (common_subnav_selector_tab.png) but I can't find the background for the life of me. Does anyone know which image this is? Thanks in advance!
