Does anyone know how to theme the mms.apk? As in change the text colors. I found a guide on how to change the timestamp color. I decompiled, changed the hex in the right xml and then compiled and signed then pushed it into my phone. The app was still working but the colors didn't change. Any ideas?

Here's what I want to do...I like how the signal bars in honey comb are vertical instead of the usual horizontal. Is there a way to mod the position of the signal bars in the notification bar in cm7?
Bump

The easiest way would just be to use the Honeycomb theme for the CM7 theme chooser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
If you don't want the entire theme then your best bet is to pull the stat_sys_batt png files and port them over to your current theme. The theme chooser theme apk's can be ported, they are just a bit more tedious since the png files have been slightly renamed and moved to different folders.
Someone may already have a metamorph/zipthemer mod with these signal icons, but I'm not sure.
I'll give it a try. Thanks

I just noticed you said stat_sys_batt, what's the file name for the signal bar?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Never mind. I found them. I just need to know what other file has to be replaced, such as an xml.

Yea sorry about that - meant stat_sys_signal instead of stat_sys_batt
If you're just changing the appearance of the icons, nothing else needs to be changed besides the pngs
EDIT - forgot an important detail: you'll have to hit SystemUI.apk as well, not just framework-res.apk
so i've searched for a white notification bar and i cant seem to find one for this device.
i tried to just invert the colors on a black bar theme, but it didnt do anything to the bar and just made all the icons black(and invisible).
anybody know anything about a white bar?

So.. I'm guessing you already know how to properly modify the files for your ROM. The file you want to look for to modify and make white is "statusbar_background.png" ...Some roms this file name will also contain a ".9" in the name.
If this is the case, the .9 pngs HAVE to be modified a certain way, as the .9 means that they contain special instructions, for text, icons, and stretching. If you are not sure how to fix a .9 png, you can send me the file. I'll make it white, and send it back.

Well I did get the bar white. But now the clock and a few icons are white. The other icons I can figure out, but what do I do for the clock?
Thanks!

Clock is in the services.jar. or at least it was on the Captivate. Haven't pulled this one apart yet.

I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...
For system app like phone, contacts, setting...
We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
But NO Transparency~~!!!!
For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.
Could you somebody helpl me what xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
All the files are in framework-res.apk/res only edit framework apk for appearance.
Its usually named notification some thing something.png so look around the res files.
By the way what rom are you using? If its miui its simple =)

Hi, please help with changing colour of font in Swype 2.6. Default colour of font in suggestion box (dictionary) is white and I don't know which hex line should be changed. I tried to look everywhere for answer but I've found inly hex for tracer colour. I've seen many beautiful themes with different font colours but nobody shares the secret.
yes this would be nice to know
You have to edit the png img using apk manager, if you want to just change the fonts then head over to uot kitchen and cook up a theme, there's lots of diffrent fonts
Sent from my HTC_A510c using XDA App
yes...but I ment fonts (hiden somewhere between hexes in lib\libSwypeCore.so) in pop up dictionary suggestions not letters of keybord which are part of png's.
Is there a way to change in clock on the status bar?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Change as in font, color, what? But the answer is yes, however it involves decompiling a system.apk and editing xml.
Color and font thanks
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Changing the font is easy (I think), just replace /system/fonts/Clockopia.tff with whatever font you want. Changing the color is a bit harder.
I forgot what xml you have to change, I'll update later when I figure it out. It's either in framework-res or SystemUI.

Thanks makes a bit easier now that I know what files to change

Permissions need to be changed on the font being brought in right? Once they're moved. Correct?

I don't think Clockopia changes the clock font.. i've tried. I read somewhere that it chamges the lockscreen clock, but nope.
You need to change the DroidSans and -Bold file. It will change all system fonts, including the clock in status bar. See here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571627
