I'm almost done editing my status bar except for a very small problem. The notification area where the Service Provider name is displayed has gray letters over black background.
Does anyone know what XML has to be edited to change the color to white?
Look at attachment to see what I mean. PLS PLS PLS help.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum.... Can an Admin/Mod delete or move this post pls?

Sorry for being a noob if this is an easy fix, but I've been searching for hours now and can't find anything. I found a theme I love except for one thing. I'd ask the guy who skinned the theme, but he says he's not around anymore, no time.
When I view a text message in on the screen where it shows this pic of the person, the date and time sent, and the call back number, the box with that info is a very light grey. Problem being is the text is white. I'm new to themes, and can't find the right file to change. I don't want to change the text color, just make the box black too. Can someone direct my to the right file to edit? I'm on WM 6.5. Attached is pic of what I have...
Thanks in advance for any help...
Moved as not theme release.
Anyone? Could someone at least point me in the right direction? Am I looking for a css, a png, a gif somewhere? I also noticed today that the address bar and search bar for Opera have white text on white background. I'm also looking to change those 2 backgrounds to black also...
I've installed/customized a theme exactly as I want with Black status bar, and black pulldown background with white text. I properly Deodexed and used the compatible services.jar, however, the following events still show up with black text in the dropdown list:
-In-Call timer status
-Download Progress
-Any item that is an event in progress
I've tried 4 different services.jar and all of them had the same problem, I tried editing the status bar XML files, only to have the phone refuse to load.
I notice 90% of themes leave the dropdown tabs gray, and I assume this is the reason, but does anyone have the files necessary to make all text in the dropdown white?
If you want to attach your framework-res.apk I can give this a go. I'm pretty sure this is in the /res/layout/status_bar_latest_notification.xml file or something titled similiarly.
Anyways.... I can give you some help if wanted...
I've attached my framework-res.apk, let me know what you can do. Thank You!
No problem. I will give this a go after work.

In looking at your framework...is this the current framework that you thought SHOULD have the white text? Or a unmodified framework. In looking at it...it looks like the text should be white... At least from what theming I have done... You have white (ffffff) set in the correct places for the dropdown notification bar in /res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.
What ROM/theme are you using? Also are you on the 2.3.34 update? i'm still on 2.3.15... So I don't want to throw a framework on my phone that may cause issues =?
If you can give me some more info... I was digging through it tonight.
Thanks
I am using the 2.3.340 firmware, standard rom but rooted and deodexed.
I used that exact framework with 2.3.15 with the same issue. My theme is nearly perfect except for that, so it's kind of annoying.
Hm... I'll keep looking over it. So this current framework SHOULD have white text but didn't?
Try also looking at the styles.xml and colors.xml in the /res/layout folder. I.m winning if things need to match up and something in one of those files is overwriting your white color

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the services.jar hold the information to change the colors in the drop down events?

I'm pretty sure it just controls color for the clock, ticker, and the "titles" for the sections in the drop-down such as "latest" or "ongoing". It doesn't actually change the text color of notifications in the drop down.
Can u help me too
I had this issue with derezzed too, a lot of ongoing event text colors are controlled by each individual application (something I saw with dropbox and facebook uploads) so the options are to either customize each application as you get it, ignore the unreadable text, or simply change the .png to a different color that provides a similar feel while being able to read black text... or another artsy thing would be to use rounded corners to make each notification look like an individual bubble instead of a continuous pane

totally didnt see how old this post was... oops
I have a white theme with white text. I need to replace all the white text. I am running froyo and yes I have searched and nothing has helped/worked. Thank you in advance.
Look for a compatible theme in the Theme and Apps section or you could possibly make one yourself if you have the know-how (this might help).
You want background to be white? Or text to be white? Kinda confused.

I know how to theme already, thank you though. I got my theme ported and its all white. The problem is; the text is white too. It blends into the background. I need to change the text COLOR from the status bar and drop down to black. How can I do this? And ill give that a try superweapons. Ty.

Just Google the UOT kitchen on google.
Then then copy these files from the phone to your computer:
1) Framework-res.apk
2) SystemUI.apk
3) TwFramework-res.apk
then do your theme on UOT, then on the file submit page, select [system files] on the upload section, upload your file and submit.
Thank you guys. I used UOT. The text is now black but when I hit menu on the home screen the text is still white and blends with the background. Does anyone know how to change that part?
Hey there!
Does anyone know how to change the font color of popup windows?(like power menu)
I've got a dark background in my windows, but the text stays black as well..
(pic attached)
I think its in the styles.xml from framework-res but cant manage to get it right.
Also, everytime i push my edited framework to phone its bootlooping, am i forgettng to set permissions right or something?
thanks in advance!
