Hi guys, as the title says, id like to change the soft keys highlight color.
Since JB they have this awful greyish color and id like to change them back to the ICS cyan as they were
I believe the background color images can be found in the SystemUI.apk file under the res folder
but after that there are at least 4 subfolders that include (what i believe them to be) the images that need to be changed ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
These subfolders are
drawable-hdpi
drawable-mdpi
drawable-sw600dp-hdpi
drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
Any clues which one?
I already tried on drawable-hdpi and drawable-mdpi but no dice.
Am i in the right truck here or am i missing something?
UPDATE
It was one the other two folders (or both)
drawable-sw600dp-hdpi
drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
So its solved

Hello, im trying to use a gingerbread theme for fission 2.4.3. However, for some reason, the insides of the silence sliders are completely transparent and do not have the dark transparent gray of the other sliders.
I've edited the .png files and tried recompiling the theme many times, but when i get to the lockscreen the slider just doesnt move. I just cant seem to get the 9-patch process right.
In other words, i want to use the attached pngs named edit1 and edit2 in place of the original sliders, which are also attached.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

How are you trying to edit the sliders? Those are .9.png files, they need to be edited different than normal .png files, as .9.png files are stretchable....
I use apkmanger 4.9 for extracting/signing/compiling etc.... if I'm only editing .png files or replacing(not editing) .9.png files, I use Simple Tasks section...
If I'm going to edit .9.png files, I use the Advanced Task sections, as they have to be Decompiled and Compiled... you will see a difference in the .9.png files when you do a regular extract and decompile, it needs those black borders/dots to make them work right... I don't get all fancy with my editing, so I use either gimp or paint.net to edit the .png/.9.png files...
I attached the sliders that you are wanting to use.. give those a try.. since you're only replacing the .9.png and not doing any editing, you should just be able to extract the .apk, and replace the sliders....
Good luck...
if i wanted to port this over to the current rom im using green volume sliders and actual buttons and d/l bars what files would i need to mess with??

I'm no themer, but I believe most (if not all) the files you would need would be in the /res/drawable folder within the framework-res.apk.
I have only done minor tweeks like this, but should be a good starting point.
Any seasoned vets wish to chime in?
Actually I think the slider color is an XML edit. Decompile the framework apk and look in the layout folder
any idea what its called i found the actual buttons in the HDPI folder
not sure what you are asking but if you are asking for all the pieces, here ya go:
BACKROUND
popup_menu, they are png's in framework and com.htc
SLIDER BUTTONS
in framework as png's (you found those already)
PROGRESS BARS
xml edit in framework, i believe it is progress_horizontal.xml
the edits there are for color as well as you are going to have to edit it so that the line is a lot thinner.
BOTTOM BUTTONS
also in framework and com.htc as general buttons.
bammmmmmmmm
A few days ago I bought mClock. I tried all the possible skins from the XDA forum for this application, but none of it works. Any of the selected xml changed color to gray and white (even if it should be red, yellow or blue) Also, do not change background color, it is always transparent.
Maybe I do something wrong?
1st copy unziped skin into sdcard folder
2nd open mclock
3rd I choose XML from the sdcard folder
xml automatically make setinngs -I just close menu...
And now I can find result on my wall. But as I said-font color white or gray and no background
I have started to make my own theme by opening apk and changing it to zip and editing png in Photoshop so far Ive changed icons, font, background and basically anything drawable but now I want to change the lock screen. How would I go about doing this? I dont see anything that resembles a lock screen in any drawable folders or anywhere else. Heres a list of the items I see from this apk that I unzipped:
assets
META_INF
res
AndroidManifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arsc
Am I missing something?
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.
