themeing pop up menus? - Android Themes

i am trying to style the text color from default black to white in these menus only so look like they look like the screen shot. the only way i have been able to do this so far is by changing the value <color name="bright_foreground_light">#ff000000</color> to white in colors. which messes up all the text fields and i get all white text on white fields. i messed with the widget styles in values for a few days now and i cant get anything to work right. i am new to styling android. but a fast learner can someone help me with this project i would definitely consider donating to a dev for help. running stock rooted gingerbread 2.3.4.

if you mean something like this, it was done with a program called "RC Mod", it has some really nice options, just do a google search and you'll find it

I'm trying to edit the text that displays when I have a new notification. Currently it's black on black and I'd like to make it white on black. Here's the walk through I've been using.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/27622-text-color-change-complete-how-do.html
My question is which part of the theme edits the black text shown in this picture? Ignore the black over my number.. covered that part up in paint. It's the part that says "Testing Text Color." Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Attached the actual theme that I'm trying to work on.
EDIT: I think I got it. I pulled the framework-res.apk and started with process of elimination, lol. Looks like all I had to edit was the status_bar.xml.

[Q] Creating Transparent Notification Background

{

}
I am having trouble determining what controls the transparency of the actual notifications? Is it ROM specific? I have applied the same .png files to 2 different ROMS.... The first one tured out the way I want it [pure transparent].... the second, has opaque Notification background and "Ongoing" background [or white semi-transparent].... How do I control this?
Any ideas? I've been going at it for awhile.....Please help
p.s I have tried xultimae-tp to modify the services.jar... didn't work.....
I am wondering this also, has anyone got some helpful info?
The transparent pulldown that I am using has the notification boxes transparent white and I would like them to be solid white so that I can see the text better.

How to change Ongoing/No notifications bar color - Froyo

Im trying to figure out how to change this, but Im not able to find it. It does not appear to drawable-hdpi and I opened all of the XMLs in layout that have status bar in the name, but nothing shows the gray color that the bar is now. Where is the code/picture to change this. I would like to change it from gray to black.
I attached a picture. I want to change the bar color that says Ongoing and Notifications. Im not sure if its one bar, or if there is a sepparate one for Ongoing, Notificatios, and No Notifications.
Thanks

Question Changing Fonts Affect on Different UI Elements!

So the default font ain't that special so I changed it to sth fancier ALTHOUGH,
the following elements change with no problemo:
icon title, settings and menus, messengers, other texts and whatnot, even the gboard;
font doesn't apply on the goddamn status bar, notifications and toggles!
it changed to the new font for a brief period and reverted over night.
i wiggled every setting i could, alas to no avail.

*if you didn't notice a difference the number "6" shows it more pronounced.
Any input/info would be appreciated.
