UITweaker - Best application for what you wanna do.

I love you guys, If I were rich I'd paypal you a million dollars to the person above me. I always wanted something like this but never wanted to post a new thread about it. Thanks

BaseHueExpress is another menu-bar color changer

Another nice little program that will do this is BaseHueExpress - check it out. No .cab installation, just unzip, copy the .exe file anywhere on your phone, and click to execute.

search htc home customizer
once you install this application go to the preview tabs and see all the different icons, which can be used. Once you find the one you want go to the downloads tab and select it, problem solved.

would this program allow me to change them on my own because i have some icons i would like to use.

resize album menu?

hi there. don't know if that's the best section where ask about my question.
i am using smaller htc and manila menus on my diamond.
the menu in album is a lot bigger (and still green,will change it to grey asap).
i'd like to resize it like the others but i don't have a clue of the values to use to do it.
can someone help me with that? here's some screenshots of my idea..
htc menu (all ext apps)
manila menu (sense UI related)
album menu (not resized yet)
i know that the files to edit the album menu size are those ones:
ha_skin_l.xml
ha_skin_p.xml
and resize all the
ha_menu_focus_*.bmp files,which are the "menu bars".
but i don't know nothing about xml. they look like:

Well, points for self-knowledge must be granted, you really aren't good at this.
Just play with the values man, just guess and try, starting with the "itemheight="80" rows="7" portion I would suggest.

hi m8,i really don't want that someone else does the whole job for me. i always do my tests before begging for help,i already did some tests but without good results. i already tried both "itemheight" and "rows",as fsize (font size?) but i had no luck. i thought there's some other values that i ignored as less "visible" than those two that are the best candidates. that's why i said i don't know nothing about xml. btw thanks a lot for the reply,that's such an invitation to try again and again

Thats OK, I can always blacklist you
Anyway, if you played with the values, and got no result, than I am afraid I am not going to be able to help. Other than maybe remarking: Did you restart the device after changing the values? It may need a restart to reread the file.

Phone.apk

I wanted to make someting nicer than Galaxy Tab's original phone, so I'm
working on both "Phone.apk" and "Contacts.apk".
There are some problems that I hope someone could help.
As you can see in the pic 02, "Logs" page's font are white and when I press
one of them they become orange, so far there is no problem, but when I press
the other one the last one become black, I don't know why.
In the "Contacts" Page, pic 03, fonts are still black and I don't know what value
should I change anymore , because I tried evrything.
Does anyone can help to make this complete?

The white look real clean man! Nice work so far.
Wish I can help you with the compile part, but I'm not that smart

Nice work! First off. The colors for text aren't always only in the xml's.. you'll want to search the smali files as well.
Ill have a look tomorrow if I get a chance.

If it's one of the smali files, I don't know how to edit them.
It would be great if you could have a look.
Thanks mate.

I'm a little busy right now but I'll look for the right xml.
I like this background, too. I really don't want to change it,
but if can't change those colors I'll have to.
Anyway, thank you for helping me.

I love this background..... im Just waiting for a release.....
