Themers, where are the images? - Nexus One Themes and Apps

If I wanted to change the dialer image, where is it? If I wanted to change the icons, where are they?

The dialer images are in phone.apk and contacts.apk. the second question is kind of vague. Status bar icons are in framework-res.apk. individual app icons are located in their respective .apk's.

how to ?

if i wanted to port this over to the current rom im using green volume sliders and actual buttons and d/l bars what files would i need to mess with??

I'm no themer, but I believe most (if not all) the files you would need would be in the /res/drawable folder within the framework-res.apk.
I have only done minor tweeks like this, but should be a good starting point.
Any seasoned vets wish to chime in?
Actually I think the slider color is an XML edit. Decompile the framework apk and look in the layout folder
any idea what its called i found the actual buttons in the HDPI folder
not sure what you are asking but if you are asking for all the pieces, here ya go:
BACKROUND
popup_menu, they are png's in framework and com.htc
SLIDER BUTTONS
in framework as png's (you found those already)
PROGRESS BARS
xml edit in framework, i believe it is progress_horizontal.xml
the edits there are for color as well as you are going to have to edit it so that the line is a lot thinner.
BOTTOM BUTTONS
also in framework and com.htc as general buttons.
bammmmmmmmm

[Q] How to change wifi/data signal and battery icon colors?

Is there a way to change the colors of the wifi/data, phone signal and battery icons in the status bar? I'm currently using weapon 2.4, so I'm rooted and was wondering if it might be a simple file edit to do so. If there is an app that lets you do that, I haven't found it yet but I would love to know how they work so I can potentially assign each icon a different custom color. Thanks in advance for any help.
--UPDATE--
ok so from what i've read so far it looks like i'm going to be editing some lines in the classes.dex which i extracted from the services.jar file in the framework folder. when I open up the classes.dex with baksmali i cannot find the \com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali file .. not just in that folder but anywhere within the expanded classes.dex archive. Is StatusBarIcon.smali where I'll be able to change the color of the icons in the notification bar or am I completely off track here?
You want to change the color of the icons? They are png files in the SystemUI.apk, so either pull them out and edit them in some photo software, find icons you like and add them, use a theme, or use UOT Kitchen.
do you have the "Theme Chooser" app on your phone?
If so, you might want to check out some themes and install one of those
or use Metamorph or a zip application to make your own
and remember, always backup your rom
Just use NinjaMorph, and edit SystemUI.apk... If you're looking to make them green, check my thread in the Themes section.

Change background gradient without editing framework-res?

A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.

Transparent status bar

Is there a mod or a way to turn the sense 6 status bar fully transparent like AOSP KitKat, unlike its current half transparency. Please do not suggest exposed, I'd rather edit system files.

Status bar (and others....)
If you decompile SystemUI.apk (found in /system/priv-app), look for status_background.9.png in res/xxhdpi and edit the image to make fully transparent. The xxhdpi folder also has the images for all the status bar and quick toggle icons if you should choose to change those as well...
As a note - I did this on my work computer (without actually decompiling the apk) by extracting SystemUI.apk to my dropbox and then simply renaming it to SystemUI.zip and decompressing it with 7-zip. After I made the changes I wanted (signal icons, wifi, nav bar bg, and some others), I re-zipped the contents of SystemUI (not the folder itself as it will make a redundant directory in the zip file and break your SystemUI), I renamed back to SystemUI.apk and placed the new SystemUI.apk in the appropriate directory, making sure permissions are set correct. Then reboot....
This worked for me... it's a bit tedious, but I get bored at work sometimes... lolz.
