how can I change the background color to black in the menu? (orignal menu - not adw)
thx
in one of the xml files into the framework-res.apk
why do u need this? use ADW or LauncherPro and be happy
I am also happy. use yes adw, but bothers me the blue background in the settings menu. which will still be black.

for settings and diff SE Menus (+SMS, Mediascape, Timescape etc.) use themes like Dark10 or Pitch Black Theme from this mainthread

I really like the Droid X dock bar for the ADW Launcher but I just want the dock bar stuff nothing else (I don't like the dot changes, search bar change etc) would someone be able to modify this theme to be just the launcher (the circle with the arrow up and the lil dot thing when tray is open) for me so I can go on for the rest of my life happy

how?? lol
I dont want to disable the screen dots etc.. I jsut want them back to default adw launcher ones..
Is there anyway I can change the ugly default blue and purple colors of menus? I tried ADW and that did not work, the colors seem to be system related and I can't find a setting to change them to white!

Decompile framework-res.apk, make your changes and compile it again.
Searched, missed it if it's out there.
Does VB use a non-stock dialer? Just curious because none of the themes I've tried change the little phone icon... and the "black phone on black wallpaper" is hard for me to see. Would like the green phone back if possible.
(I realize this is extremely minor, just curious if it's possible, and what I need to do.) Thanks!
Check this out maybe you can use some of the apk's and push it to the system... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500701... follow the op for further instructions..
Cool thanks. There's no way to change the icon in the VB dialer? (I do like it better, other than the icon.)
Look at a different launcher (golauncher, launcher pro) - or the paid version of adw. You can change the icon to whatever you want.

Cool. So I got the paid ADW. Figured out how to change icons, which is COOL.
But I still haven't found a phone icon I like. I extracted the .PNG from the VB dialer, recolored it to dark green, re-saved it as a PNG and... ADW acts like it doesn't exist.
So now I'm trying to figure out if there is some requirement for icons of which I'm unaware. Seeing as all I did was change the phone color from black to green you'd think it'd be okay... :dunno:

If you have Titanium backup make adw system app. Also make sure its moved to the internal memory.
Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.
im running mickys mm rom and dont like the (new?) folder icons.
im running a rather dark desktop theme, so the icons should be darker, smaller or transparent..
i am able to change most of the other app icon via icon packs but the icons of the app folders/collections remain ugly. it might even suffice if i could change the icons color or transparacy. so far the only way is to choose a color of a handful of pastel shades for the folder itself.
any ideas? do i loose anything like the edge screen if i choose another launcher like nova over touchwiz?
