Has anyone found a way to edit the default background colors? I've picked through both the Gear launcher and the SystemUI and can't seem to find anything on it.

Not sure if this is the one you are looking for, but you can go to (on the Gear) >Settings > Display > and you can choose a different color for your background.

Ehhhh, sort of. I'm look to actually change the value of those colors in the system. Meaning somewhere in "/system" I'm looking to find the image (or code) that is drawing those colors so I can manually edit them
Its in the framework.
You have to decompile it.

Search google for "uot" and check out the online theme kitchen.

System ui apk
Sent from my Samsung Captivate
Sounds interesting, I went into the System ui apk, and opened "res" folder, then "drawable-hdpi", and found what I believe to be the right file, "status_bar_background.png" is this the correct file to edit for say, changing the transparency in gimp or photoshop?
I, like vdubguy, would like to know how to do this without using the kitchen.

With the new system ui API you ,have to decompile the apk and change a value as it points the background to a color code and not the image. Once you change that then you can change the image to add transperncy. You will also have to decompile it to make color changes as well

decompile w/ apk manager and use notepad++ to edit
When you get it figured out, could you do everyone a solid and post the updated files and where they should go? I'd be your bestie for life!

Actually, the only way to change that is to change dpi for framework-res (I think). :/

I just told you, the only way to change it is to change dpi for framework-res(Android System) and reboot. This will change the dpi for all apps.
Or manually modify framework-res.apk to change the dpi only for lockscreen.
There is no other way.

Thanks for your reply. I'll search how to do that and look into it. Hope it works out )

Did you ever figure this out. I'm trying to do this too. JUST the lockscreen it took me all of 2 sec. to change it system wide.
anyone managed to change the dpi of just the lockscreen?
or found another way to center its contents?
its driving me crazy that the fingerprint unlock is not showing up above the button!
Did anyone find a work around for this? I need to either center the elements in the lower part of the screen or change the dpi of the lockscreen only. Same problem here! Last thing left on my list!
Same problem here .
Anyone got solution yet?

Figured it out.
In AppSettings look for an entry called key com.android.keyguard
Set DPI to 640. Under that select/check Apply res to widgets.
Save (Maybe reboot too).
Lockscreen is now stock while everything else remains (at least for me) sweet 530 DPI

Thank you very much!!!!! This really did the trick!!!
Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.

Ohhh gotcha well if someone stops reporting me for putting up apps that are not specifically for the Moto X than I will post that here once it is done! LOL Just kidding, it will be either here or on the Ultra forum as that is the closest one for the Mini which is the phone I have.

That would involve decompile the launcher. Is that stock tw launcher or 2nd party like nova?

Check your launcher settings, this is possible for sure on nova. Not sure about other launchers as I've been very faithful to Nova.
