Im looking to change the color of the little green circle that pops up on the messaging icon whenever you get a text. im also looking for whatever controls the green color of the highlighted message in the messaging widget. ive been looking through smalis and xmls for hours now trying to find these things...anyone have any insight to share?
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
Hi,
I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction, as to how to change the color of the text of the settings menu, as well as of Phone contacts from white to some other color.
I have an S3, 4.3 stock rom, rooted. I have deodexed some apks like SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk.....have customised pngs inside it. But am not able to change the color of the text, ie. when one goes to the Settings menu the text is white and so is the text white in my contacts and phone list (have attached screenshots below of what I am trying to change).
Was wondering if I have to modify the res\values\**.xml file......which file do I have to modify. Do I have to modify the framework-res.apk, or the SystemUI.apk or the SecSettings.apk. Which is the exact line of which xml file that has to be modified.
I have been trying this for the past one month, have googled it and tried different options, but am not able to change the text from white to some other color.
Any help would really be wonderful.
Hello everyone, I'm pretty sure this is not the correct section for this question, but can someone tell me which .png file I need to modify to change the green line and the black background and dark gray buttons background on a spotify widget?
I'm assuming I should be in the \res\drawable-hdpi folder for these changes. I just can't find the proper .pnj files I need to modify to change the green stripe, the black background, and dark gray buttons background. I'm trying to make it look like the Google Music widget since I have them on the same screen.
I feel like I'm missing something. I wanted a dark theme for my Pixel 2 and downloaded a handful of those themes. Everyone of them gets the notification dropdown background dark/black with the text still black. I do restart the phone after each theme I apply. I can't seem to find the setting to change the text color.
Edit: How can I add my screenshot as an attachment?
