Future reference, please make a relevant title to any post you make. No one knows at a glance what "Quick question..." is about. This reduces the number of people who know what they're talking about(who usually avoid these types of threads based on title alone), which makes it considerably more difficult for you to get an answer.
That being said, I have no idea what your initial and follow up questions are even about.

A couple of themeing questions.

#1 Okay, I've asked this before, but to no avail.

#2 what is the name of the file of the pop-up that comes up at the bottom of the screen? The one that alerts when Su has been granted, apps loaded from os etc.
Any help would be.....helpful.
Thanks.

The files start with "popup" iirc. There are 3 of them. One for top, bottom, and middle of the bubble. And if you didn't know already its in framework-res.apk.
Edit: actually that might be for the big popup. The smaller one is only one file I think. You will see a picture of a grey square but I'm not sure if the name starts with popup.

Its not a pop-up. Its called the toast frame and is called as such in the framework: toast_frame.9.png.
i found one called bottom_bar but its rectangle and the one im talking about is rounded.
thank you very much! i do appreciate it

[Q] Notification Lights

Out of interest (might be upgrading to NS end of the month) as there aren't any notification lights how difficult (or even possible) would it be to utilise the home, menu, search etc lights to act as notification lights, so that say a text message came while on silent on your desk it could flash them in a KITT type sequence?

I believe this has been discussed before and the answer, if I remember correctly, was that using the capacitive buttons would be either extremely difficult or completely impossible. I could be wrong, but that is what i remember.
The feature you are referring to is called backlight notifications, or BLN for short. There is an app on the market for it. However, to use that feature, you have to have a kernel that supports BLN. As far as I know, there are currently no kernels for the nexus s which has it. Devices that I am aware of that has supported kernels are the Samsung Captivate as well as the Vibrant. Your only other solution is an app on the market called NoLED, which displays notification icons on your screen.

NoLED works pretty well. There are things about it I'd change a little. Icons for one. I'd definitely change the text icon to something that doesn't look like email icon... Color swatches instead of color sliders for those of us that aren't good with choosing crayons.

So I take it it would be a bit of a nightmare implementing this into custom kernels?
It probably is, but its not impossible. The development section for the nexus is still new and will grow. So who knows.

XDA App - Enhancement/s ideas???

Hi All,
I've been quite closely following Alterbridge and his Overcome GB custom rom, and since i travel around alot, its been so worth my while following it through the XDA app.
The app itself is clean, no extra fuss, and gives exactly what you ask for. What i'm driving at here is, do you feel its missing anything? Maybe we can get the developer to join us and see if they like our ideas and possibly add them to the app.
i'll go first - i think the option to THANK someone in the forums, if they helped you in any way could possibly be added to the menu (for me in android, its long-pressing menu drop-down on a specific post )
The app itself is VERY similar to Tapatalk but its missing one of my must-have features. I would love there to be a "dark" theme that uses white text and a black background instead of black text and a white background. Just something to think about.
xda app
i still can't figure out how to post with it
Search function, being able to see the smileys instead of text wrapped in colons, ability to re-arrange the order of the favorites list, and the ability to attach files other than images.
I use the XDA app alot, probably more than I visit XDA on my PC, so I guess the little things that the tapatalk app don't do tend to bug me a little after awhile lol.

There is an option to use different themes. Press menu/more/settings/display style. And you want the simple theme.

[UPDATED 8/21] Does anyone want.....

Softkey remaps have been added to Trailblazer Mods
Also, the Clock Unlock has been added xD
Now though, new "Does anyone want...." When someone calls you, and you are in another app, so that you see the call from the ticker, does anyone want the "Ignore and Text" button to link to Google Voice?
Also, how about bold ticker date text? I don't know, the original seems to small for me haha
I don't know about it doing that but I was wanting to change the functionality
Anything that gives it functionality... I have literally only used it once to see what it did and screen on/off seems infinitely more useful... you know us continuum users will take what we can get...

I want the home key to toggle the torch on the lockscreen like in the miui roms!

Could you make it open app droor to switch apps w/o goin to homw screen? That and on-off are only functions I can think of rite now but im sure someone has killer idea ...whatever function you give it you gotta make a cool icon and 1 word descrip with no more than 6 letters....hahaha

I wouldn't mind a call button that's one thing I really miss about my hero lol.

You mean open phone icon? I like that too... then I can remove from dock or whatever on home page

I can make it open up the Call Log, is that good enough?

Does anyone want a mod for the search key that turns the screen off instead of going to search...
Holding down on the search key also launches the Shutdown Options Menu....
Some people seemed to want it, so i will upload it to the Trailblazer Mods thread soon

Also, ever since the upgrade to 2.2, the (handy, in my opinion) feature of unlocking the phone threw clicking the clock had been removed for some retarded reason I managed to put that feature back in, for myself mainly, and for anyone else if they want it

+1 on this, i'll give it a try, sounds pretty neat

So yes Trailblazer101....final answer.... I would like a mod to change function of search key...really don't care what.....if we could answer/ignore/end calls or even sum kinda application launcher....
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I believe this deserves some consideration. With sum trial and error we could make a lasting improvement to google's standard interface. Im sure there is some app, utility, or shortcut that can be represented by an icon and makes navigating your phone easier....menu, home, and back are kinda dedicated to the SMART so maybe fourth key should be dedicated to the PHONE part init? To make a long story longer we took this phone from Sammy and VZW when we gave it froyo...we will take it from google when we improve native/home keys.......was that motivational hahaha

haha, yeah that was motivational, haha Made me think

Editing 14 toggle for ICS

Hey Guys and Gals,
How difficult would it be to edit the 14 toggle mod to remove the line indicator and just leave the icon to light up when pressed? I like a bit more room on my notification bar and this would be perfect. I tried editing it myself. I've done some theme work but I can't really find the correct places to remove to re-size it. If anyone wouldn't mind taking a shot at it I'd appreciate it or tell me how.

To resize I don't think it would be a matter of removing code, but altering it, or altering the dimensions of the images.
If you want more screen real estate I'd recommend changing your pixel density.
