im sorry does anybody know how to change the taskbar icons? if so, can u plz help me thxs!

It depends on what you referring to as your taskbar
If you mean the lower quick keys then it would depend on what launcher you are using. Launcher pro gives you the option to use Icon packs to customize the launcher keys.
If you mean all the icons then bettercut allows you to change icons/names and several other options on your screen.

MetaMorph allows you to apply "themes", some of the themes available in these forums are designed to just change the look of the top-bar. Look around and you will probably find something you like.
On a side note, you have to root your phone to use MetaMorph.

can you point me where they are located? when i searched..it gave me a list of a bunch of themes that im not really interested..thanks

Meta morph is what you need. Check out the theme forum and all the icons you could ever want are there inside the different themes you download.

ADWLauncher help

Hiya guys & girls!
The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.
I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.
So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, makes me sad if you spent most of last night, trying to find a theme that still includes the old style...
Fix in 5 seconds:
"If you want the old icon design, download this to your phone and select it as icon when creating your custom shortcut."

[Q] How to change app drawer background

Hi
I want know what is the xml file in touchwizz30laucher.apk for change the app drawer background in black to transparent
thank

i too have the same problem. the only way i can get transparent app drawer is by changing the default launcher. i use launcher pro at the moment, you can also do this with ZEAM launcher ( My favourite ) or you can download sgs tools from the market and go into that and select upgrade stock apps >> upgrade tw launcher,, then find a modded TWlauncher that you like

Thank for your ask, but it's possible change the touchwizz appdrawer black to transparent, like the gtg launcher, but i don't find in all the tread what is the xml files for change this

on the home screen press the left menu button if there is a option for preferences it will be under that, if there is no preference option i doubt you can do it. but like i said earlier there are plenty of launchers with the option of customisation. some similar to the one u use now

Yes it's possible without a other laucher, read this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523
It's probably a modification of a xml files in touchwizz30launcher.apk, but i don't find what is this file

i dont understand what you mean.... if that is the mod your looking for just download it and apply it

You don't understand because my english is very bad
I don't want download the mod because i just want a transparent app drawer without the rest of the mod

haha true dat
anyway downloading the mod is only small in size why dont u want to download it you wont even notice

Because i want find the xml file to modify but not for change the black background in transparent background, but for transform in wallpaper background ( if you don't understand, it's always because my english is a martian language)

Haha. I'll leave you too it then. I'm confused lol

PM the developer who made the mod then. Or just read through the thread. It might be there somewhere.

I read her post but without answer. You are right, i send un pm
thank

i wouldnt even try doing it but there are other launchers which do that

[THEME] Simple black launcherpro theme

1. Go to menu/Preferences/Homescreen Settings/ and set "Number of screens" 7 and "Default screen" 4
2. Go to menu/Preferences/Appearance Settings/Dock background and set as custom:
3. Set the wallpaper (be carefull how you crop it!):
or fancy one:
4. Change the shortcut for app drawer (in the middle) icon in to the blank one:
appicon
The "icons" from the bottom of the wallpaper should change in the middle of a dock for each screen.
Enjoy
edit: PSD files with few more nice wallpapers.
Please post your work

Wow, great idea!!! /me likes

Could you post your photoshop files? so it is possible to costumize futher?

The idea is great, I tried it yesterday. But -forgive me- the lockscreen looks very very bad, with that 'icons on the wallpaper'...

Don't know what rom you are using, but with sense you can have alt lockscreen wallpaper, and I'm guessing there is a similar app on the market.

Looks fine IMO, I recently found out tickboxes are completely white when there are dark backgrounds because of the white theme accent combined with the white tick. So that's why Sony doesn't make white theme accents.

Nav Bar icon
Sorry Bro.
I need only nexus nav bar icons. I'm already xposed mod.
Everyon can help me please?

Here you go > SystemUI.apk, make sure you backup your original SystemUI as this does not only includes nexus nav bar icons, it also includes KitKat flip settings icons if you are using Xperia Flip Settings

Very helpful bro thanks.

but the flip settings still retain the old look - any solution? also I noticed some of the accents are Blue.. any plans to make it all white?

For flip settings, you need that SystemUI.apk, and the blue accents have to remain in apps like settings because I don't think white will make it look nice so no plans for it. Sorry =)

Can you make apk only for nav. bar? Thanx.

read this, then to modify theme accent, you need to open /asset/com.sonyericsson.uxp.zip, decompile and go into the decompiled folder open /res/values/colors. Good luck, compare the colors with the stock purple accent by doing the same steps and check the color value, you can use photoshop to double check them. (It's not gonna be easy because if you use my theme as a base, you need to change some color of the switches and ticks.)

If you haven't already, I've got a patched services.jar in my thread, feel free to use. Also regarding conflicts, if you go into the smali folder of the base apk (with the wallpaper and icon) and get through to smali files, you can change the package name there by editing out craftsmanship, and putting what you want, changing the folder names to match.And in android manifest, you can change version number, so when you go to installed apps, it'll show what version is installed.
Example, in my theme folders go se/metallijim/brushed/blue, and that is what is in the smali files. Edit with notepad+
That'll definitely insure no conflicts.

Awesome thanks for the tip, yeah I recompiled the services.jar already, and downloaded yours to compare, for some reason, mine is smaller lol but still works fine since that my original clean services.jar is already smaller than your modded one. And thanks for the versioning!, I didn't know how to do it because when I tried changing it, they said that craftmanship has defined it =/

Good news!
In Android Manifest.xml in the main theme, before recompiling, just change android:versionName=1.0 to whatever version you want, then in settings, when installed it'll show the Version number! :victory:
If you want anymore help, just ask and I'll be glad to.
