Android 4.1 status bar mod help - Android Themes

Hey guys, i'm currently making a custom ROM for the Galaxy SL i9003 based on CM10 (its a HDPI device), and i'd like to know where the png of the statusbar is. Additionally I would also like to know where the png of the background is in the status bar drawer. I know it is either in framework-res.apk or systemui.apk but I don't have enough time to look through folders.
Thanks for your help in advanced!

If you don't have enough time to look through them, how do you have enough time to theme??

Its better to spend more time on the actual theming then looking for the right file.
Anyways thanks for your overly extremely helpful post.

Twframeworks.apk is just the main parts for the phone nothing to do with the launcher. Every rom except AOSP and MIUI have it, its in the frameworks folder next to frameworks.apk. It baisically has wat you need to mdify anything you notification screen can do. Like the call options when ur on the home screen o music player when ur on the homescreen, aswell as the main tabs like wifi, bluetooth, gps and 4g option on the top. Well wat you need here is pass wat u modified in frameworks.apk and jut copy all the images that have the same name and xml in the drawable folder.

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.

This is for a launcher. I like the stock launcher dont want to change it. I allways want colorful icons in top taskbar. No ideas?
The kitchen should work just upload the required files and make your selections. I used the kitchen when I had a note which is a 1200x800 display and xhdpi and it worked fine. Should be no harm in giving it a go

Presenting (Miui v4 Theme) Bloody Miui v5

I was inspired by digitalhigh's icey theme but realized that there are never any good red themes for miui. So I decided to take it upon myself to make that happen.
Out of beta, everything should be working pretty well now
I hope you guys enjoy this bloody goodness as much as I do!

If you want any icons added for your apps feel free to send me them and I'll include as many as you guys like. I know I hate inconsistencies in my themes!

If it helps with the icons - you don't even need the apk or package name for most programs. If you visit the play store link for an app on a computer, the URL will have the package name in it, and the main image shown is a .png you can download and use for the icon.
For example..."poop rearing simulator mobile":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.android.unko&hl=en
Between "id=" and "&hl" is the package name, jp.android.unko.
On the page itself, in the top-left box beneath "Poop Rearing Simulator Mobile" and "Y.soft", is the icon:
Windows clipboard doesn't like transparency, so I just save the icon, then (from chrome) drag-drop the new icon from the download bar into the template I've attached.
Scale it however you want...don't worry about the shape yet. Each one is different, but given the new MIUI style, I try to go for sweet and simple.
Since yours is red, you'd need to modify one of the overlay colors at first, but then you can just copy the layer style to the new icon, ctrl+click layer 0 to select the outline, select the new icon layer, and then hit the "add vector mask" button. Make sure to unlink the mask and layer in the case you want to scale the icon after the fact.
And just in case you (or anybody else reading) aren't sure how to do the last two (I know I avoided masks like the plague for years), refer to the highlighted spots in the attached picture for where to click to make a mask and unlink the two.
Then that's about it. I like to call my layer name whatever the package name is - and I copy/paste it right from the address bar into photoshop. Just easier to keep track of things when exporting.
And...er...sorry to jack your thread. I'd make this it's own tutorial thread, but I don't think there's a super-high demand for MIUI icon tutorials. However, feel free to share whatever you come up with in red - I'll try to do the same. If we're using the same template, then we could actually pool our resources to come up with a massive iconset.
Haha by all means post help when ever you want
I'm pretty good with Photoshop, illustrator is more up my alley but they're pretty similar. Just not much experience with android theming
I think the reason I'm having scaling issues with the .9.PNG files is because I just took a miui v5 theme and unzipped each com.android by adding a .zip extension to them.
Did you use a theme as a base or did you pull straight from a miui v5 ROM into the theme tool? Because the files seem to be in different places from v4 to v5

I did a combination of things. To extract all the v5 resources, I used MIUI Theme editor, then cleaned up the .xml files. I then used MTE to extract all the resources from the latest JB release of v4. Then it was a buttload of hunting and searching to find what elements did match up, and renaming/moving ones that did not.
However, by the looks of it, I'd guess that the scaling issues present in your screenshots are probably because you manually edited a .9 image and did something to the outside edge (definition) that it doesn't like. I had the same glitch in the compose box in MMS.apk. This is why it's essential to use the "hue" attribute when overlaying anything with color...it'll leave all the black borders untouched. Likewise, I'm actually editing a .9 image, I will cut out the inside graphics and make them their own layer before editing anything, just to be sure I don't kill the borders. .9patch is useful, but very very finnicky.
Ah yeah that would make sense, I did use the hue overlay. From what I can see the stuff I extracted doesn't have the guides that the .9's need in the first place. I Amy need to find a new rom or mtz to extract from.
It sucks because I did all the searching too, just haven't found everything haha
