is there a way to change the irritating yellow sprint colors to something less obtrusive?
I did read somewhere where someone was able to change it but was unable to find it.
There is, I have it but cannot paste onto this answer.
Search for Blue Focus Highlight, either on here or PPC Geeks. There are actually several colors, I just chose this one.

I have a quick question I am sure someone could answer rather quickly, and I have tried searching to no avail. I have the Sprint Touch Pro and am happy with the phone as it is (for now). I just want to change the yellow selection color on the default Sprint Tf3d interface to a different color. How do I go about doing this? I am familiar with cabs, installing, registry edits, etc. So please if anyone could just point me to the right program to change the theme colors I can probably take it from there. Thanks.
Hey,
This might be a very stupid question, but I have no idea about how to change the clock text color into #F24400.
They used a 8 nummered color-code (#FFFFFFFF) instead of the usual 6, but when I change it, I always get a standard blue color. I looked all over the internet, but couln't find the answer.
Hope you guys can help me...
No one, wants to change the text colours? No one knows 'how to' either?
edit: Oke, I was able to change it into a red colour by using '#FF0000FF'. So it is possible, but does anybody know a colour-code list for 8 characters?
On this site there are a few

Thanks!
O, it's so simple. Just the normal colour code with 'FF' behind it.
Why didn't I come up with that. I tried adding a '00' or a '0' in front and a '0' in the back...
But anyway, now I know how it works.
I've been hunting for this registry key and can't seem to find it. I'm not sure if this color is just hard-coded in the ROM or not (I'd be surprised if it was, considering all the other colors are customizable via the registry). I have read all of the other customization threads and been searching for days, and can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I have a T-Mobile HD7 and much of the "emphasized" text is a strong magenta. I'm trying to find a way to change this color and can't find anything for it. The color I'm referring to is, when you open Advanced Configuration for example, the text that says "This program comes free but with no warranty...."
Any pointers, please?
*facepalm*
Figured it out. Wow. Huge oversight on my part.
Being new to android, I am slowly finding out how to customise the look and feel to suit me.
One thing I can't figure out is how to change the font colour in the attached photo, I'm not sure what this bit is called. But light blue is a terrible colour and I would like to change it to white or black if possible.
Can anyone tell me where this might be done? The OS is 4.2.2.
Hard
I am guessing by the huge amounts of replies, that changing the colour of this item is incredibly difficult and beyond the capabilities of most of the people on this forum.
anyone?
I must be in the wrong forum.
Well you could have saved some time and looked at it yourself. It is set in the system ui apk and defined in framework res. Depending on your device. See that's the thing it really depends on the rom and device. It is different for each. Not to mention there are plenty of tuts that would have told you the same thing.
thanks
Thanks, you couldn't point out one of these tuts could you? If I knew what the thing I want to change is called too, that would be helpful.
found it
It's called statusbar, and now I know it's name I can search for info on it.
Google returns a lot of results for 'thingy' or 'wotsit' but rarely the results you are looking for.
Conclusion
The thingy in the original post is called the status bar.
It is defined in /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Editing it requires a piece of software called apktool.
I now have white text instead of pale blue.
Thanks to zelendel for the clue.
All is now good.
As a slight aside, I found both a status_bar.xml and a gemini_status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk and my phone appears to be using the gemini one. What practical use this is I don't know. The phone is a U51GT-C4B if anyone cares, it's as big as will fit in your jacket pocket without requiring the services of a tailor and makes using rdesktop so much easier.
It doesn't make your fingers any less fat, but it makes typing easier because the letters are further apart.
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
