I searched a lot to find a method to chnage the bclack background of the menu and settings but sorry i didn't got any!
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)

1. Decompile framework-res.apk
2. Navigate to res/values and open styles.xml
3. Locate <style name="Theme">
4. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Locate <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">
7. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
8. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@color/black</item>

"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
2.)Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
3.)Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
4.)Replace the framework-res.apk(that you edited now) with the your ROM's using and Root Browser like Root Explorer and reboot.
For 4.2+ Based ROMs
1. Decompile framework-res.apk
2. Navigate to res/values and open styles.xml
3. Locate <style name="Theme">
4. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_selector_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Create a png of size according to your resolution(512*512 most common) to your liking, name it mybackground.png and place it in drawable-nodpi folder
7. Recompile framework-res.apk
For users who know how to use root explorer can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.

There's no need of tutorials for editing pngs....
I'll tell you now...
Copy systemUI or framework-res from your mobile to pc. Extract it.
Now check the dimensions of the PNG you want to replace and remember the folder.
Now chose your image...change it's dimensions....rename it to the same name as of original file.
Drag your new files into the new folder directly in the apk using 7zip or winrar.
Replace your apk with default one in the system and you are done

first see the original size of the pic(in pixels) then use an resizer and resize your photo(which you want to resize) to that size and in png format rename it to original one and replace the photo and then replace the framework-res.apk and reboot i have tested on a110 also it is working 100%

Thanks for sharing.
Noob question: How to install this? Is this compatible with Overcome 1.63 (Android 2.2.1)?
thanks
Nandroid first. This way you can try on rom of choose to test.
Instructions for Settings with transparent background:
1. download settings.rar and extract the apk inside to your sd card
2. copy or move the apk using root explorer
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. [optional] backup your Settings.apk/ somewhere just in case it doesn't work for your rom.
6. paste all apks
Thanks for this, ran out of thing to do with my fascinate and took my tab on. Been working with a couple dev with their roms and mods, to create themes for the vzw tab, would like permission to add this to the themes (of course for the transparent) but the icons would be changed to match theme. With proper credits goes without saying.
looks like tab is finally getting a fine choice of themes/mods nice work
anyway to get this to 70% for light wallpapers

I replaced your setting.apk and it's not working. I attached a picrure and you can see what happend.
The thing is I thought I copied my original setting.apk but I can't find it now.
could you please upload the original one?
Thank you.
In your instruction it's written that "replace all apks", but I found just one apk.
Is the way in first post same as the second way?

I found the original file, thanks anyway.

In my tab i back to stock settings cause this one crash when i tried to send 1 file w/ Bluetooth.
I suggest to backup Settings.apk AND SETTINS.ODEX cause if u want retunt to stock u need to replace this 2 files....if u don't replace settings.odex u will stay w/o settings and Widgets.
So....backup them in SD!

But is this only a few "unimportant" settings or pretty essential settings? And thank you for your review/test on these MODs on 2.3.3 - saved me the effort

It's happening on the essential settings.
Take for example the volume settings, phone settings, and applications.

SYTEMUI FC ON NEMESIS ONE CAN U MAKE A FLASHABLE ZIP FOR ALL ROMS
bY
SHANE
Apart from secsettings, I will also post a guide to other apk's so that themers can make a VRtheme! It will work on all the variants of Galaxy S4. Though the changes look huge, but it is pretty small only...so dont be scared by looking at code!:laugh: It is tested on GT-I9500 MF3 FW. I have also attached a secsettings.apk for I9500 (MF3 FW) flashable zip for deodexed rom.
Anyway major change is very simple all we need to change is from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light. This is only change which controls all other apks apart from some png's. So themers can give a try.
Some hidden secrets for themers:
1. You can make the entire apk / rom/ fraemwork to white by just modyfying the styles.xml from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light
2. To make any app to work in full window (I mean to hide statusbar), all we need to do is add a following line at the beginning of styles.xml and by default the app works in full window
PHP:
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
Download Link
This flashable zip works only with GT-I9500 deodex roms only. If you have odex, then delete the odex files and then flash the zip. I have not tested on any other variants, so odnt scream on me if it doesnt work. Only call recording mod is not enabled, which i will upload today evening. Mirrors are welcome. For secsettings.apk, the download link is avaibale at the bottom of this post.
Download for all other apks

I tried all other apks and everything is coming white with small change in xml. I guess you can try as well! Tonight i will try to edit the framework as well (oops I just done it and need to change the secondary color and framework is also done), in the mean time, here you go the myfiles...still the work needs to be done though...
I use vrtheme but i cant use that for settings because the value folder is hidden in the apk
Any help with that please mate ?
Does your guide also only work for Deodexed Rom?

it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..
all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM
Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

edit: I guess it can be done, as i remember DARKY ROM / ALLIANCE ROM scripts works like vrtheme and they use the same for themeing...i will check tonight
there is many things in settings that still has white text, if you were to use a pure white background then there is a lot in the sub menus that would be unreadable. I think the project is just far to big for myself to make a complete theme, its just to complex
Thanks anyway

it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..
all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM
Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

All xml files from values* folders end up in 'resources.arsc'. It would be a nightmare if one couldn't change values here but it's for sure not a problem for vrtheme.

You wrong dude. It's should be on /system/framework. It's a framework which is needed for a android phone.
I thought apks go to system/app thanks for the heads up though
