It is well documentated how to change text color inthe Notification bar for Froyo ROM's. However have not seen anything with regards to GB ROM's. They have moved things around on GB. So now all the xml's are in SystemUI. No biggie there, but the layout of the file and the information has changed.
I only see meantion of 2 colors in Status_bar_extended now, One for Carrier text Color and 1 for the Clear button text.
Anyone changed the text color in the notification pull down, on a GB ROM
Bump. Noone? even when I try to add
androidTextcolor=
I get not allowed textcolor string error..

Does anyone know how to change the color of the text of my task/title bar and soft key bar (top and bottom bars) I have UI tweaker but I don't see a setting in there, so I was wondering if there is a different program that will handle this? I'd like to change the color of the word start, the battery icon, etc as well as the soft key texts. I would love to change the color to match lilrico's(from ppcgeeks) full cactus green theme.
you can change the font color in the softkey bar with ui tweaker, I have not had any luck getting the taskbar font color changed with any software, probably a reg edit or hex code somewhere (didn't try too hard though). The icons are a totally different ballgame, all of the images are in .dll files that have to be changed manually using a resource editor
do you know how to do it?
anyone know what to edit in order to change the colors of the clock, date and notification text in the status bar? i know its in services.jar, but where?
ive done searches all over google and here. found plenty of tuts for vanilla android but those dont work for sense.
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
edit:
totally didnt see how old this post was... oops
I want to change color of text that appears on the pulldown status Bar. Where the voicemails and other notifications appear. Currently text is black as well as background.
Thinking status_bar_latest_content.xml is the file I need to edit?
Location; framework<framework-res.apk<res<layout

BUMP. Same problem.
Same issue
I have been trying to figure this out for some time as well, i ended the status_bar_latest_events_content.xml file to reflect the colors that I wanted, and it didn't work, I can't seem to find an updated thread on how to do this.
I've spent the past 5 hours or so figuring out how to change the status bar icons in the Blue Lightning Theme to the icons from VB final. Got that working perfectly.
(I also tried changing the dialer and contacts screens with no luck, but that's a problem for another time.)
In the Blue Lightning theme, the background image of the notification drop down has a pic of a tattooed girl. I grabbed the background image with the same name from RaverX3X's VB final zip and swapped them.
Now the background looks great, but the little bar used to drag the notifications up and away has disappeared. And, it seems like it's much more difficult to flick the drop down away when estimating where that footer bar "should" be. When I check the drawable-hdpi folder in SystemUI.apk, I can see the .png file for the footer, but it doesn't appear on the phone.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Try rebootin?
Rebooting doesn't help.
is that file by any chance a .9.png file? (otherwise known as a Draw-9 patch file)
I thought it might have been that, but nope, just a regular .png.
some launchers have a setting that will hide the notification bar. I wonder if that has somehow been triggered.
Try booting into recovery a fix permissions
