Hello XDA
I'd just like to request something if possible. I would just like white or light gray navigation bar background with contrasting icons. Believe me, I have tried FSCB and PerfectColorBar. They just simply don't work - and I have spent many days trying to tweak them.
If anyone could lead me to the right path, it would be greatly appreciated!

I've been playing around with a few themes and trying some stuff myself, mostly unsuccessfully, but a side effect is that now that I have it looking kinda how I want it I have one issue I can't figure out. The notification bar text, not all of it, just the very top with the date and time, is white. That makes it practically unreadable but I have no idea what file to tweak in which apk. The only options I have are to cry or see if anyone here can point me to the right thing to smack into shape. Anyone?
I realise this is a question and should technically be in Q&A but it's theme related.
you can use colorChange to change the text color, or you can reflash your rom. the clock and date and such are in services.jar, and the notification text is at framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml
Hey All,
after following this Forum for quite a while and getting tons of helpful Infos, i need your help now.
I have installed a Custom Rom on my X1.
After 2 Days of tweaking Themes, Screens etc., there is one Problem left and i really want to get rid of this(!!) :
In the lower right corner of the Display (in Homescreen,Lockscreen etc. ...),
i always get a small text of the Rom-Version Info.
Is it possible to remove this text or change the color?
The text is colored white or bright grey.
Found nothing in *.cpr files.
Perhaps in Registry?
Changing Color of Wallpaper is no solution, cause i'm using black or dark Images
Hope u can help me!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to look at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Device Beta]
"Today"= --> delete the value if exist.
Thanks a lot!
It`s working after off/on or softreset.
Have a nice evening...

Hi
Im not sure where to post my request, because i didn't wnat to "blow up" the FAQ&Help-Thread with a request, but if a mod thinks it fits better there or in another part of the forum, just feel free to move my thread.
I was playing around with dozens of sliders and lockscreens, but im not happy at all. Maybe it is because of all these phantastic screens mady with help of psd's (Photoshop) and more. I dont have photoshop and dont have "skills" doing some nice screen by myself, so maybe someone can provide me with some nice WLTheme and Background.
Lets start with the slider. I like these new Sense 3-Sliders, like these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13151132&postcount=544
All i want is nearly the same, just with a few less arrows. And i'd like to see the text "unlock" changed into the german "Entsperren", or maybe no text at all.
Now for the background/wallpaper. I love shelfs, like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660
or
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/33111.jpg/
I'd like to have a background with maybe 2 or 3 shelfs, where i can put my icons on it by myself, and maybe one without shelf, for playing around. I know that putting the icons on the shelfs without playing with the psd's is hard, but i could try
I will either use these icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13151132&postcount=544
or maybe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14307546&postcount=31692
(the round ones)
For the colours....I like black, dark blue, dark grey, but please no green, no orange, no pink and other "freaky" colours
This is a very nice Background too:

This is something i'd like to use
I have a SonyEricsson Xperia Play (480 x 854). If you need more details, tell me.
Can someone do me the favour of doing these things?
Would love it, thanks
I have/had no skills either but downloaded GIMP (it's free) and googled for instructional videos to watch and asked the others here on xda how they did theirs and learned to do what i wanted done. Frustrating sometimes but worth the effort i think .
Good luck !
I am nearly done with something looking like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14315167&postcount=1218
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660
I was able to arrange the icons so close together as in the screens. I had to change the grid/alignment of WidgetLocker to 12x12.
But some tiny things are missing. Maybe someone can lend me hand with that.
I am using the same Icons as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660, but i wasnt able to find the phone icon. I went to Agamemnon's deviantArt-collection and found the icon:
http://agamemmnon.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d3gjnie
I grabbed the icon, but it has a white background. Can someone edit it for me and make a transparent background so i can use it?
Then i saw this nice Gmail-Ribbon:
http://agamemmnon.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0#/d3hftzy
Can someone "combine" this ribbon with the dark Mail-Icon, so it will look like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660
But even if i can manage these things, there is still one issue. I am using SMS Unread Count for adding notification-bubbles to the MAIL, DIALER and MESSAGING icons. But the bubbles are way too small. This happened because i had to change the WidgetLocker grid/alignment to the maximum of 12x12.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks
hello, im not so sure if this is the right place to post, but looking for some help from one of the many graphics geniuses on here. I'm trying to set this sweet stache as a soft key icon but the background isnt dark enough to match the navigation bar. It looks black on the computer but when set on the bar its not quite black. If one of you artist could darken the background for that would be great, thanks in advance
Is this one better for you?
maybe transparent version
thank you both for the help they look awesome
Hey Guys,
i`m searching for a method to change my font color.
As i posted in the "Show your wallpaper sticky" my Wallpaper has a white Background.
I also made the status bar and the dock fully transparent.
So it is impossible to read the clock or something else what is written in white...
Hope someone could give me a kick in the right direction.

Changing the native font colour involves pulling your framwork-res.apk, decompiling it, editing the hex values in XML, recompiling it and then pushing it back to the phone. I'm sure if you Google "change font colour android" you'll find a few guides.
Alternatively, it would be much easier to just use a different background
hi postfatal,
thanks for your response.
i googled the entire morning and this is really the only solution?
*sigh*
so i have to learn a bit more about our beloved android system
i wouldn't change my wallpaper because after 3 years i found a nice new one
So i give it a try and make the impossible possible ;P
