Change color of top and bottom of screen?

I've tricked out my screen with all black (very clean and elegant), but I still have teal-colored strips at the top and bottom of my screen (top: where Start and system icons are; bottom: where soft keys are).
Can someone tell me how to change the color of these parts of the screen?
Thanks in advance.

what device do you have
its normaly done by changing themes but im not sure were this option is unless i know what device you have

Important detail
I have a fuze. But I found out how by installing UITweaker.
Works great.

this is a thread i created a long time ago... with how to create a nice clean black GUI for your device. it also includes the skin classicblack.tsk, which you can put in your /storage card/ dir and then apply from start/settings/today/
enjoy.

Change just the color of taskbars?

Hi everyone I have searched for this for a long time and have never got a definitive answer. I am running 6.1 stock rom on my verizon tp2. I wanted to know is there a way to change the color of the top and bottom taskbars? I am not talking about the icons just the greyish black taskbars. Thanks

If you go to 'Settings' or 'All Settings' from the TouchFlo interface, you can click the Today option and that brings you to a short list of themes. Verizon uses a flat dark grey, there are also light blue, green and reddish themes to choose from. All but the default have a little sheen and gradation to them. Hope this helps.

you could use the UItweaker to change bottom and top taskbars.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I have tried that already. I've bean using hdwalls for my backgrounds and dont want to interfere with that. What I would realy like to do is make them completely transparent! Correct me if I am wrong but I think you can only do that if your running 6.5 rom????

Yeah I have tried this as well but I could never really figure it out completely?? Do you by chance know if there is a step for step guide in using UItweaker somewhere? I think this may be my only bet? Unless someone made some cabs or something to just change colors of taskbars in 6.1 stock rom? (wishful thinking) Thanks for the reply

Use the animated wallpaper option, but browse to the wallpaper of your choice instead.
If that doesn't work then one of the "essential" cabs that you have installed has caused the problem. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling the culprit, but you may need a hard reset as not all mods get uninstalled fully.

I am afraid the alternative solution did not work!!!
now the question remain which cab is causing the conflict?
thats what i have installed\:
20 home screen shortcut
BSB tweak
disable auto device lock
keypad led cotrol
mark all emails read
Touch X bluetooth
touch x task manager
touch x reset
xda shutdown
torch button

it is definetly the 20 shortcut, i have unistalled it and it worked fine.
so i guess we know what the problem is...but had to install the 20 shortcut back because it is very usefull

True, it is the shortcut-cab that causes the problem. But after selecting my new background and re-installing the shortcut-cab, the problem is back.

Have you tried using HDWall to create your wallpaper? I use it because I want the same wallpaper on all the tabs, and I also use the 20 quicklinks cab and they work together fine.

Well, I tried to manage it but it worked not perfectly. I got an other wallpaper at the background, but parts of it where missing (a black bar above the sliderbar). That's why I uninstalled it and now have to deal with the black background also, waiting for someone else finding a fix

I had the same problem with the latest version of HDWall (v0.28b), but the previous version (v0.27b) worked fine. Just make sure you go into the config screen and ensure you're making cabs for WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Edit:
I've just tried v0.28b again, and it works as long as you install the "High Quality Wallpaper for Home Tab & Manila Start Menu by Co0kieMonster".
It now fills the screen correctly, and is higher resolution than the previous versions. It looks great now!

Great, that's better! Only one 'problem' left, I want the bottom of the screen (with 'contact'-button and 'menu'-button @ homescreen) to be black instead of the color from the background. Is there any way I can change that?

This is a bit poor, I know, but it works.
Open Settings (or All Settings from the settings tab), and go to Today. Change the theme and click OK. Then, open the Today settings again and change the theme back (I assume you want HTC Black, from your comment). Click OK and it's done.

Theme background for Mega

I post here my screen, you like my work!...

Nice themes! How did you make the transparent slider? With the I C Thru U app?
Does it have this "cut-off" effect when you slide it or not?

It is a work created by me, everything you see in the theme or created in Photoshop (a watch, slider ....)

Try this topic:
First, install the clock then carbon theme, enjoy.

I've installed the sexy background theme,but I have this small problemn the home screen I can't see the wallpaper that comes with the theme(that girl in blue panties,instead it's the default wallpaper,the one with the road),and something else:when I scrool the tabs,back and forward the background splits,-on the scrool bar the bottom remains and the rest of the screen(the upper part) splits-.

Try uninstalling you soft reset and then reinstall the theme, if not, go to Settings and then use the default background, I do not know what to say other will be a problem on your phone.

I managed to create this issue with the basis of seven, I created clock and weather for S2U2.
_____________________
Thanks to Keko's

looks nice.How exactly can I use the slider with the clock and weather in S2U2.Thank you

You have to extract the GFX, then copy folder in S2U2 phone (clockH, weather and replace with the original) and then reset S2U2.

it doesn't work.I replaced the 2 folders and now I can't see the clock,the backgroung it's the same ,also the weather won't show up.

i take back my words.I've done some changes in S2u2 and now it's working just fine.Thank you and good luck !

Try this, and what I use, just delete your gfx and replace with this, then go to S2U2 Settings and change the format clockH etc. ..
Remember to update the forecast.

[THEME][UPDATE] GreengerBlack v1.1 [Overcome KRATOS]

Hey Friends,
I've mixed up a theme with the classic Gingerbread Icons (exept the battery).
This theme is made on the base of the "Meizu Dark theme" from natious (you will see some colors and impressions of this)
so thanks a lot.
Sorry, the screenshots are a little crap
Update:
Now I use the Installation file from Meizu Dark with the most of natious themed apks. It shut be complett. My sugestion is replace the bootanimation with the "Particel ring" and flash the themed calendar.apk from sohrab1985. Looks great.
If you don't like the Battery, you can change it with the UOT Kitchen
New Version:
add providersettings.apk from meizu Dark
add calculator.apk from meizu Dark
add settings.apk
add swipe.apk from meizu Dark
add mms.apk from meizu Dark
add contacts.apk from meizu Dark
add a few fonts from meizu Dark
Download:

Have fun and keep it simple

Please, tell me if there any problems.

Fab I like it a lot. This'll stay installed for a while. Any chance of sticking a percentage in the battery icon?!

Use UTO kitchen to change the battery. Just go to the page, make your choise and upload the systemUI.apk (root/system/app) and the framework-res.apk (root/system/framework). UTO Kitchen works not at every option but for change the Battery does it work.
my Tab fights with Kratos

This is a great theme, thanks a lot for sharing! But I have a quick question:
Is there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for KRATOS?... just the 100% stock mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights that comes straight from Google... nothing else or modified just stock, no more no less!
Thanks for the advice.

I can try it at the Weekend but I can not do any promise. If you have other wishes or suggestions, tell me. Maybe you like 6 Bottens in the quick setting bar for example.
Btw: I'm just a expirienced user so I have no special skills to do this. I also have no original GB Themed device so I don't know how the Stock theme looks exactly but I'll do my best.

Thank you very much for your reply. I am not sure which the Quick Settings button is that you refer but its OK, the only thing basically I would like is to strip out all customizations that Samsung and the KRATOS chef did, and have a lean and plain stock Gingerbread like Ive seen n most phones. Its a pure battery-saving theme with most screens using black background and highlighted items are orange. If you can look at a few standard phones with Gingerbread in it they will all look the same kind of like this. It is actually the most simple and cleanest interface.
Anyway, thank you VERY MUCH for your interest and effort and I look forward when you have time to try it and give you feedback. I know many other members and users of the galaxy tab would appreciate having a stock Android look on their machine that has been impossible because of the changes Samsung made to their ROMs.
Danke noch einmal

Hi guys! Im making a theme for Kratos and am stuck. Can someone help and tell me WHERE the icon (below attached) that pops up on the task bar during Media Scanning, is hidden? I looked everywhere, all system APKs I can think of including framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and cannot find it anywhere. Its driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance for the tip!

HELP with some elements
Its been a while I posted on this great thread and have since then done a lot of customization on my Tab but now stuck on 5 key elements id like to know if someone can help me:
1) How do I change the background color of the Phone App? On all 5 tabs of he phone app (Dialer, Logs, Contacts, Groups, Favorites + the outgoing dialing screen itself) the background is White. I want it changed to black but dont seem to locate the file. I was successful in changing the background color to black on the incoming call screen (the files are call_incoming_bg.png and call_incoming_bg_h.png on the phone.apk and just made them black and that's it)... looks super nice. But for the outgoing calls screen and phone app itself, its all still white and I dont know where to edit or if there is a PNG file that control the background.. I dont seem to know where it is (see attachments 1 & 2)
2) I wanted to change the Missed Call icon with a custom I made that I already and use on the top taskbar, that was very easy (its the stat_notify_missed_call.png in framework-res.apk). But the same icon that's displayed in the phone's Log tab I dont seem to locate where it is and to my surprise its NOT in the phone.apk. Can someone tell me where that file is? (see attachment 3)
3) I have managed to successfully tweak many of the elements of the notification pull down menu, like giving it transparency in certain parts on bottom and top, but I cant control color or transparency of the background of the ONGOING operations that have a fixed white background and that id like to change. (see attachment 3) Equally, Id like to change the color and some of the wordings of the WIFI, BLUETOOTH, GPS, SILENT, ORIENTATION LOCK functions. Where can I edit those?
4) Where can I edit the white background color of the pop-up Power-Off menu on the tab that is white (see attachment 5)? I edited the icons easily from the framework-res.apk but dont seem to know what controls the background color..
5) Finally, which files control the blues that usually are displayed in most dialog pop-ups and dialogues? I want to change them to black and grey but have no idea where they are located and which files I should edit.
When Im all done Ill post my theme for download, I think maybe some users might like to give it a try and feedback will be welcome wither way
In advance, thanks a lot for your expert advice on all this
