So this is a request for somebody way more skilled than I, but i think it would benefit the whole community,
so the GB keyboard has an .xml file that controls the colors of the text prediction, is their anybody here who could make that value editable from the settings menu, much like on CM7 you can change the notification power widgets, or on cm6.1 you could change the colors on alot of things, this would allow people making themes to just put the keyboard into their theme and then the end user could set it to any color they wanted.
also since i know the keyboard has that orange spacebar glow, why not make it white or gray so that way it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb if say the user picks pink, pink and orange don't exactly blend well
i hope somebody can do this i think it would be a great addition i just dont have the know how (or photo editing skills) to do it myself
this also would be a good inclusion into CM7 as a whole, but if not it would always have a spot in the Android EVOlved project.

It's part of the theme, so change the theme.

Use a program to alter the theme. I forget the name of it, just Google it. Open the theme with the app and make the adjustment.
you can use ui tweaker: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
fantastic freeware app that works well. i'm using wm6.1 and it's flawless. there are 4 tabs to choose from for changing the colors. for your needs, i would think that the tab "system colors" or something like that will change the color of the bar you want. just remember that except for the today colors, you would have to peform a soft reset to enable the changes. also, you would need to practice a little to find out that the bar you're tweaking / changing colors is indeed the one you want. i often made mistakes in changing the notification bars and ended up changing the color of other areas.
cheers
Is there anyway to change the default htc green highlights in the htc sense interface?
i was able to do so under the old tf3d 2.0, but none of those tweaks work on the new sense interface.
if at all possible, i would like to know if anyone has figured out how to change the dialer color (talk button and highlights), the default htc keyboard, the notification bubbles, and the various check boxes throughout the os.
i would love to have a red color or at least an idea of where to start looking.
i have searched all over XDA and pccgeeks and nothing has worked without messing up the phone and requiring a hard reset.
ok thanks!
You could check out tecchan23 work over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874&highlight=taskbar I have used his work to make mine completely green, but he also produces a red version.
well i appreciate that but those seem to be for titanium not htc sense
there used to be a cab for tf3d...but i've not seen one for sense either...would also like this
Interested in this
for keyboard, look through this thread, there are various cabs for different colours dotted along.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626688
for red notification bubbles, there is a standalone cab somewhere in there:

various htc calendar highlight colours in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636062
thanks for the reply, the calendar one worked great!
but the bubbles one only changed the email notifications, not the text ones.
also, the keyboard cabs only change the color when you press a key, not the abc or t9 mode or the enter key
guess skinning these files are alot harder on sense ui then on old tf3d...
Ok, I've seen this in some custom roms (not many) where the smartdial area and talk button are not this boring grey and green talk button. But, on older dialer's the smartdial color was just a bitmap to change it as well as the talk button. That doesn't seem to be the case now and I would like to see mods done with it or a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks.
Anyone? I have changed the smartdial04.bmp file and when I copy it to Windows, it doesn't change
Are you looking fore something like this?
I'd recommend Dinik's dailer 2.0. glassy buttons and clolored call and end keys, also beautiful in call buttons. check it out! keyboard cab is sweet too!
Thanks guys and I know of all Dinik's stuff. The area I'm talking about is the highlight where your phone numbers are (grey in color). Changing the color of that area. I've seen it on a few roms (ok, maybe one..NRGZ's) where it changed to blue. Which I know is indicated by Smartdial_04.bmp if I'm not mistaken. But, if I change that color and drop it into windows, the color of the selection bar is still unchanged.
realised i was wrong. post needs deleting
Hello everyone, I am an Italian partially sighted, and then I have big problems of view. I note with regret that Android is very configurable, but with more difficulty.
I have a HTC Desire with root privileges.
I would simply like to change most of the interface, not pleasure, but to use it, for example, I have to change anything that has white background with black background and then put white text, here's a list:
- Change backgrounds with blacks and whites to white text (it is called high-contrast)
- Change buttons with clear background and insert new ones with black background and white text
- A little larger all the characters
- Enlarge icons
- Have all black keyboard with white keys
- Have different software with a black background and white text
How do you see there.
I am a programmer and I also know Java and I have the android SDK installed, the only lacks experience in this system since I got two days ago.
I installed without success, Open Home, in the sense that I did not get good results.
Can you help?
I am willing to install something already done or create something from scratch I just do not know where to start, I know that Android is based on the topics of XML, but I do not know where in the system, such as retrieve and re-enter .
Excuse me for my bad english
Thank you all.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a minimalistic black and white or black and light grey theme for ANY ROM.
I have zero graphical abilities so if anyone wants to take this up, it would be really appreciated.
Looking for a black background based theme with a numerically written battery without any background image (essentially the CM battery).
To make it super epic, if the theme was for devices set to 160 DPI, it would totally be awesome, if not then oh well.
Do It Yourself
If you know exactly what you want then you should try UOT Kitchen. Just Read the "How To" section first and you will be on your way to developing your first theme. Be sure to extract the proper files(SystemUI.apk and (framework-res.apk) from the ROM you are running to a familiar folder BEFORE you select "upload files" near the end of the process. This will save you time and will keep the files readily handy for your next cook. Regernate previews after each mod selection to see how it is looking. Search the forums for more on this subject, good luck! You can do this.
