Possible to use old thm with new xml metamorph? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

... I want the rotary lockscreen with digital time and date but its in thm format. I think I have the new metamorph which takes xmls and it won't take the zip... is there anyway around that?

This file changes the thm to a working xml. Found it with search in this thread.

A few theming questions

Hello,
first of all I love the Desire Rom by Paul. I only want to modify the "taskbar" graphics at the bottom of the display. Do you know in which .apk I will find them?
Do you already knwo where i can find the wallpapers in the rom, f.eg. the blue travel wallpaper?
Thanks and regards
donner
framework-res.apk for the notification bar, and alot of other stuff is in there aswell. Try making a morph to start with, it's alot easier. You can even download someone elses, open all the files and if you have a little bit of computer knowlege teach yourself from there.
wallpaper
and where are the wallpapers? they are not in the framework-res.apk
If you're looking for the graphics on the bottom on sense these are located in a seperate .apk on all the desire roms i've seen that is next to the framework-res.apk normally called something like com.htc.desire or something similar
Isn't it rosie.apk?
Most of HTC's stuff is in rosie.apk
Definitely go for a metamorph theme.
Metamorph allows you to specify only a few PNGs, XMLs etc that will be updated within the targeted apk.
On NON-Desire roms, wallpapers are in the launcher.
So yeah, maybe Rosie.apk

Any Guide to Make Digital Clock?

I've search this forum and Google. But can't find any guide to make digital clock/flip clock.
I've tried to extract some template cab using WinCe ad replace the manila pngs using Manila Editor. And recab it using QuickCab. But when I install it, everything is just messed up. No clock shown up.
Anyone can give me direction for the guide? Or maybe some one can help me making this png to cab? I want it to be font only, without flipper...I put the png in the attachment
Thanx in advance.

[Q] fission 2.4.3 gingerbread theme lockscreen slider fix

Hello, im trying to use a gingerbread theme for fission 2.4.3. However, for some reason, the insides of the silence sliders are completely transparent and do not have the dark transparent gray of the other sliders.
I've edited the .png files and tried recompiling the theme many times, but when i get to the lockscreen the slider just doesnt move. I just cant seem to get the 9-patch process right.
In other words, i want to use the attached pngs named edit1 and edit2 in place of the original sliders, which are also attached.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

How are you trying to edit the sliders? Those are .9.png files, they need to be edited different than normal .png files, as .9.png files are stretchable....
I use apkmanger 4.9 for extracting/signing/compiling etc.... if I'm only editing .png files or replacing(not editing) .9.png files, I use Simple Tasks section...
If I'm going to edit .9.png files, I use the Advanced Task sections, as they have to be Decompiled and Compiled... you will see a difference in the .9.png files when you do a regular extract and decompile, it needs those black borders/dots to make them work right... I don't get all fancy with my editing, so I use either gimp or paint.net to edit the .png/.9.png files...
I attached the sliders that you are wanting to use.. give those a try.. since you're only replacing the .9.png and not doing any editing, you should just be able to extract the .apk, and replace the sliders....
Good luck...

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.
