Hi, I'm trying to theme the quick settings icons of Lollipop on the One through a CM12 theme. I know it's possible because other themes have done it. Does anyone here know how I can do this?

This is theme dependant. Some themes like Flux do it... Others like roam or blakkat don't...

On Cyanide L, if I not use a theme, I can change colors directly I Cyanide options
Steps to theme Quick Setting tiles in Lollipop:
1. Grab SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your ROM.
2. "apktool if" framework-res.apk and "apktool d" SystemUI.apk
3. Navigate to apktool/SystemUI/res/drawable
4. The QS tiles are vector drawables that go by the name "ic_qs_" and somtimes other names(for example: ic_zen for no notification sound tile and ic_livedisplay_ for LIveDisplay tile on SlimLP)
5. You can directly color the .xml's by changing the color code inside the XML. Compile the CM TE apk(or RRO Layers theme) with your themed QS tiles in both res/drawable and res/drawable-v21
6. Or cou can convert the vector XML's to SVG and export them in Inkscape/Adobe Illustrator as PNG and mod them that way.
Changing colour codes is easy. Theming the full icons is a long and tedious job! Makes you respect the effort that themers take for their work way more.
If you need more personal help, you can send me a PM, since I might not check this thread again

Thanks! I can't seem to find these instructions anywhere.. I'll try to mod it with PNG files.

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what files needs to be edited to obtain the overscroll glow effect and the transparency in the notification pull-down bar.
I wanted to port over a theme I liked using the APK Manager to my current rom (S-VII) but I dunno what to edit in order to obtain these two effects.
I know the framework.apk file effects the overscroll glow but i don't know what image or xml edit i need to do.
Thanks.
(If possible where the no clock notification and the pop up animations edits can be made would be appreciated but the other two above take priority. Thanks.)
You can accomplish most of these mods with the UOT kitchen.
If you want to do the overscroll effect yourself though you will need to edit the framework.jar (in the /system/framework folder) on your ROM. You can use this tutorial if you want to do it manually, or download the attached pre-modified framework.jar from Serendipity 7. It's JVO based, but should work on all Samsung-based Gingerbread ROM's according to the tutorial I listed a minute ago.
To change the color of the glow effect, edit the 2 overscroll png's located in the framework-res.apk. (also can be done with the UOT kitchen)
Download framework.jar
Here's also a post that may help
The way that I make the status bar and notification pull-down shade transparent are by using Photoshop (or GIMP) to make them the color I want and then to make them transparent. These PNG's are also located within the framework-res.apk. This can also be done with the UOT Kitchen.
No clock in notification bar: A quick search in this forum would have yielded this post for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943212
I hope this helps.
thanks ill play around w/ this more
I've been experimenting a bit with theming by just replacing .png's in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. But now I need to change the text color of the notifications in the pull-down. Can anyone just give me a quick tutorial on how to do this?
Thanks.
Hello, is there any way to modify a theme so when I apply it through cyanogen's Theme Chooser it only changes the status bar and the pull down?
Thank you.
Hi! I know you asked about cm, but in miui you can mix n' match your theme, eg. icons from this, statusbar from another, and hs indicators from something else
I think it would be way easier to just decompile SystemUI and change the pngs there and recompile it!
is there any way to change samsung statusbar to the google statusbar or even xperia's
full change not color not background all thing in the statusbar change
plz tell me how
If you know how to locate png's and what names they are. You can just swap images. Like swapping icons, but only the bar png.
I have customized the png files in the secsettings apk but for the life of me can't figure out where to change the white background. Been trying things in styles and colors xml but with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
You have to chain the background bg in drawablexxxhdpi or xxhdpi and cange some xmls in colors
