Hi guys.
I am trying to sort out a few issues with my AOKP, The notification bar at the top doest match my hearts requirement for a more green look. I want to change the colour of the carrier name, the date, the bar that seperates the date from the notifications. I also want to change the colour of the signal bars and the little H or what ever type of netowrk im connected too.
I would also like to change the text colour of all items in the settings menus. I know its probably alot of work and will require decompiling the framework_res.apk but im cool with that, I just dont know where I am looking to find the places I need to make my changes.
Let me know.
Maybe there is an app out there for doing this but I have not found it yet.
many thanks in advance.

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
For anyone who's tried out the dev FroYo ROM, you've probably noticed that the AM/PM in the status bar is smaller than in 2.1, which does actually create some room in the status bar for other icons. Now, obviously this is a pretty small difference but I'm wondering if there are any modders here with smali experience/know-how that would know how to change this? I know myself and I'm sure plenty of others would really appreciate 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
Basically the title says it all. I've flashed CM7, and really liked the aesthetic of it, but it was just a bit too buggy for me. So I'm back at CM6, but I really dislike the white notification bar of CM6, and love the way CM7 looks. Is there anyway to get the same color scheme as 7? I don't necessarily need new icons, but would really like the color scheme to be the same. I've tried changing the notification bar to black... but it's actually a gradient, not a pure black. I'm also not positive of the hex numbers used for the pull down bar, etc. Has anyone themed this up, or knows how to accomplish it? Thanks.
