Yep...In framework-res.apk,search for them

Noo. Not the picture of the circle.
I want to enlarge the space to use the lock pattern.
It's kind of small on CM7. And the date and time take up too much space.
So i want to resize the space that the date and time take, and enlarge the lock pattern.
What xml's am i supposed to mod.
Thanks.

Ok. So in this case, i'm supposed to mod keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml.
I want to edit the margin. So I guess i manually delete the date and clock. But how do i extend the lock pattern.
I delete the whole Relative Layout?
And In lock pattern am i supposed to reset the margins?
I've attached the .xml for reference, if you can tell me what to mod, it will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Any answers?

I am able to exchange "com_android_systemui.xml" with the one from Cyanbread to fix the pulldown problems, but it changes the pulldown to a stock look. I am not sure what looks better, with the transparency and grey block on the top left, or the stock look. I did change the pulldown background to something less transparent (75%) and it looks much better than fully transparent. In order to fix the pulldown correctly one would have to smali the xml and mod it correctly to fit the mdpi sizes.
To see the less transparent background you can set to another theme, uninstall Honeybread, then install the one I have attached, set it as your theme and reboot.

Thanks man! Yet some questions... can I use this xml with the V1? I like that version more. And, it's possible to give it a different name in order to try it next to the original Honeybread? And I guess it has to be signed for it to work, can you gimme a quick explanation in how that works?

Ill attach the file you need to drop into the /res/drawable-hdpi folder using your archive program. And yes then it needs to be re-signed. The name is compiled in so you have to uninstall/re-install to get the modded version. This PNG file will darken the pulldown background, but leave the pulldown messed up a bit because it is set for hdpi only.
To get the stock notification pulldown you need to replace the /res/xml/com_android_systemui.xml with the one from Cyanbread.apk, but this will give you a totally stock look.
edit: I zipped up the background PNG because it gets displayed on the post, and does not download correctly.
I think this is a pretty incredible theme, even with the little errors and the fact it's HDPI. It's still beyond sick.

UGGGHHHH!!!

Help so have been trying to teach myself how to theme a rom and can edit PNG files all night long but seem to be spending all my time with simple color changes so any body know how I can just edit the color XML files so it changes all the default colors at once or am I doing it right and have to change all the PNG files???? I'm new to eclipse so would need to know what plug in I need to do this if at all possible thanks

Yes you have to manually change all the images from what I've read and then you have to do the .9 png trick to edit them not really familiar with editing the .9 images so cant say much on that but im not aware of using xml to change the actual images it only applys directions for the images.

[Lockscreen][MIUI v4]Anonymous 1.0 +icon mask!

Click to expand...

Hello,
This is my first contribution here :fingers-crossed:
Direct access to Phone, SMS, MIUI Notes, Sound Recorder, Camera, ICS Gallery, Calender and Home screen of course
Lockscreen originally from ColorMix theme.. I don't know the Chinese designer's name.. But, credits go to him anyway
I modified the lockscreen to work on my rom (Arconium MIUI 2.511):
- removed the link to Chinese Microblogging app
- fixed link to open ICS gallery instead of MIUI gallery
- changed date format in calender tab
- removed lunar calender from calender tab
- moved date, date and day from top right corner to lower right corner for more space up
- new graphics.. black and white only
double tap on the bottom to open music player, controls show on top left (no album art)
download and install Genie Weather Widget to see the weather updates on lockscreen (in attachments)
ps: I've modified this for my self.. so bare in mind the screen resolution is my Arc S resolution (485×820)

You can change that in Genie Weather app. I use metric (so celsius) since I'm in Europe

Well, I think the tricky part for me was getting the ADB DRIVERS installed fully/correctly. Install the drivers from any resource that you meet so from Flashtool, Fastboot and USB Drivers.. Just install them all!
Then you need to flash the stock .562 kernel... somehow its easier to root your Arc S with it, and don't worry once you're rooted you can revert to .587
Then use the rooting tool and it should work. Just get the ADB Drivers installed from various sources and flash .562 kernel
Or otherwise, you still can unlock your bootloader and get it locked again

Theming/blacking out/inverting??

I would like to learn what is needed to be changed in a ROM/apps in order to get the blackedout / inverted look. I'm I'm wanting to do this on a cm10.1 based ROM and I know how to use apktool and other just not sure what to edit in the .XML files. I have made changes in colors.XML and drawable.XML but for some reason it does nothing for me.
Have searched and found plenty on theming but none really get in to the .XML part of.
I know there are themes and inverted gapps already out there but would still like to learn how its done.
Any help would be great and I know how to use the thanks button...

The above quote is good for changing the background of the settings list and the background of the setup when first install. If you want to get rid of the grey that is in the menus the more needs to be changed and its all found in framework-res.apk in the res/drawable xhpi folder in the form of .PNG or .9.PNG files and they include BG. Or background in the names menu_background.9.PNG is one for example.
Now onto next change how to change clock color in status bar. Just doing it one at a time sence the info is very hard to fine and not much help on it, will keep updating as I find the answers. Just exploring through files and change stuff to see what happens.
