[Help] How do I change the top bar and bottom bar colors? - General Questions and Answers

I have a ATT Tilt w/ default rom.
The WAD2 theme I am using is black, however, the top bar and bottom bar are still the default blue. So when I go into file explorer or click on the start button, the default blue bars ruin my theme.
Any way to change those to black?
I searched and came across some threads, but those went beyond what I was looking for and confused me (not a programmer).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I am even welling to install WA3 to get it black.

Hope this helps

You should search for BlackBerry Redux theme.
Someone else did it and it is an amazing theme. I have changed a couple items to match my needs and WAD2 is great for that. Easy to learn also.

[Q] Changing Default Background Color

So I have been looking all over and cannot find an answer anywhere. i dont know if it can be done even! but god i hope so.
I am trying to change the default windows background color. not the task bar, not the background... Here is an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
see the blue gradient in the background? how do i change that!?
Also, what about the blue lines on the today screen? can i make those Orange somehow? here is another example:
the blue lines that extend from the dates or the blue line that divides the menu programs from the recent programs.
Help!
Thank You so much!
PS: What is this called? haha.
Download and install RC Mod. Spend some time playing with its features. It does exactly what your looking for and then some.
Enjoy
look for Settings+, it's an active thread in the Dev&Hack section. you can change the general colors of the device using the app.
Not sure about the background tho.
UI tweaker does it all i believe, just needs patience as not too use friendly on some devices

Both work Excellent!
Settings+ is a little simpler to use, but RC Mod can give me a more precise color.

The basic icons, no tab ereader no tab docs!
Are you sure the icons are switched or are you just talking about the orderof the tabs themselves? You do know you can change the order of your tabs right? If that is the issue.

no i wanted the icons themselves. i know u can change the order of the icons through the settings. but many roms to be more specific like cleanEX universal roms, use different slider icons which i dont like. im more of a fan of the original ones

I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.
i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...
note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.
cheers.

how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?

Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!
thanks.. i think i got it to work.. cheers
i got this one. maybe someone can make white corners transparent. no soft installed right now
Here you go.
hmm now there is a big white frame around.
maybe you can make it like the other two
thx
no white frame
It is a png file, the white background is transparent. And you are welcome.

<THEME> SkyRaider3.5_ BLUE/red GingerBread_ 2/3/11

This theme is mainly that of Bezerker07's themes found here
He gave me the ok to mash his theme with my Gingerbread theme making a BLUE and RED gingerbread theme.
As of right now, only the BLUE has been fully built and tested, an confirmed no problems. RED will be up shortly.
To install simply flash from recovery.
This has only been tested on SkyRaider3.5, any other ROM is on your own accord. Make sure to NANDROID before, just in case.

Looks good! Thanks for the work!
great job, again, ACD.
Great Work AC
Only one small request. I have tried to use the black nav bar metamorph from the OP of your other thread for SR black nav to get the black stock rosie I just get a rounded version of the clear black default launcher. If I could have the black stock rosie with this package I would be set........
Im not skilled enough to make it all into one. Any takers for either? I'll post in the other thread as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry forgot to add this to my last post, This is what I get when I use the metamorph for the black stock rosie on top of this theme. Thanks.
hey sorry so what do you want it to look like, ill get it set up for ya

I dig the current theme just would like to swap the rosie bars. Rather than the black clear I would prefer the blacked out version of the stock rosie you included in v1 & v2 of the green/black GB theme fro SR. Pretty much same request I made in that thread........
Thanks for the quick responses!
any word on the red theme yet?
