Hi all, i have a quick question i need answering .
right, i've been searching all over the place for navbars, or rosies, or launchers etc, that arn't Launcher Pro or any other third party app. NOw i've nothing 2 threads in this section fo the forum, which make the standard 2.1 rom navbar slightly transparent. Not what i want to do is totally remake the navbar myself on photoshop etc. But i have no clue whatsoever how to do this, could anyone give me a quick, but simple step by step instruction on how to do this.
I've looked at 'how to theme' posts and threads but its all way over my head, as all i want to do is replace some of the image files for my own.
Thanks in advance, remember im a noob!!
Hey guys,
i have changed my Milestone Lockscreen like this Thread [Custom] Lockscreen Background CM 6.1.1 and placed the Clock little more on top. Just using the CM7 port by nadlabak for Milestone.
Now my Background is still a blue/ white picture as u can see here. So it's quiet difficult to read the date and so on.
I want to change the Font Color maybe to light gray or something else, but all attempts failed. As u can see here it is possible. All xml files i've changed doesn't give the result like rori~'s attempt.
It would be nice if someone can help me.
You can make a custom color value to the clock id.
(pull you framework-res.apk, post it and let me see)
CyanClock
here´s my CyanClock (it´s only for CM7) just check the change, not a big deal
Quite simple ... i've changed it like u. To add only this string android:textColor="#ffa4a8a9" i've never thought.
Thanks a lot. Now it works fine for me!

Quiet simple for you, cause you know how to search and compare!
I personally like this way of learning...
Thanks.
@android-hilfe.de and with help from he_stheone64 i learned a little bit of modding and theming . So it isn't new for me, but in CM7 somethings gonna changed so i have to search or ask specials like u.
Hi all. I'm a long time lurker on the site and think I've learned a lot from everyone here but this time I really need some help.
I am working on a scrolling wallpaper theme based on a wood background using launcherpro plus. I really want to use a search widget like the one from the Eyefold ADW theme (see picture) and think I have all of the drawables from the apk but for the life of me I can't ninjamorph it or modify the quicksearch apk to get it to display properly.
I'm sure this is probably easy for a lot of people here so if anyone could give me any pointers or they're kind enough to do it for me so I can open it up and see what I was doing wrong it it would be really appreciated.
Hey Guys,
i`m searching for a method to change my font color.
As i posted in the "Show your wallpaper sticky" my Wallpaper has a white Background.
I also made the status bar and the dock fully transparent.
So it is impossible to read the clock or something else what is written in white...
Hope someone could give me a kick in the right direction.

Changing the native font colour involves pulling your framwork-res.apk, decompiling it, editing the hex values in XML, recompiling it and then pushing it back to the phone. I'm sure if you Google "change font colour android" you'll find a few guides.
Alternatively, it would be much easier to just use a different background
hi postfatal,
thanks for your response.
i googled the entire morning and this is really the only solution?
*sigh*
so i have to learn a bit more about our beloved android system
i wouldn't change my wallpaper because after 3 years i found a nice new one
So i give it a try and make the impossible possible ;P

Hello, im trying to make my own theme for xperia devices (android 4.4) and i want to make it dark/black, now im kinda stuck with my theme because i dont know how to change font color of texts in message app, settings, contacts, alarm, and basically all system apps that can be affected by theme. I have changed most of backgrounds and now this bothers me so much, i have wanted to make theme as i would like to use but its not really that much usable if i dont change font color, i appreciate any help.
Im sorry if this is not right place to post question, if its against the rules report to admins so they can move it to other forum.
Please tell me which device you have and I will move it for you to the correct forum

Check all xmls in res folders and you'll see font color.
Set those lines to white HEX codes colors.
When we are talking about system fonts, or font color in settings you will have to edit few files more.
It's to big thing to say in one post but try to search a bit and you'll find tutorials.
Try to search for editing smali, font color in settings and android theming

Yes, that gives one a headache.
You need to edit the overlay XMLs for a lot of themed APKs, the color.xml.
It's a bit of a detective work and trial and error.
One thing that will make your head explode is the fact that "semc_text_color_primary" in com.sonyericsson.uxp also sets the color for search and edit text boxes. I have managed to controle the color of search boxes by making overlay XMLs for some layout-XMLs and styles for framework-res, but the edit-text boxes still folows "semc_text_color_primary".
I will go into detalis when i get the time in a new thread. I will post a theme you can use as base when time is in my favour.

Thank you for a reply.
I was busy last few days, sorry for a late reply.
I agree with you, it is really messed up to use one color for every system text, if i set white (since most background graphics are black) then i cant see anything on dialer because of white background. I have made another test theme with blue/white/gray details and its simple to use blue text in any app, but since there is a lot of people who would like to enjoy black theme (unfortunately Xperia E1 have non aosp roms) its too bad that making a useful black theme could be that hard.
Im waiting for your new thread, in meantime i will try to find a solution.
