AOSP 4.2 theming question - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I'm working on some themes for the 4.2 keyboard. I figured out how to properly do .9.PNG images. And I've edited them all the way a like. The only thing I can't seem to figure out how to change is the color of the gesture trail, and the words in the suggestion box. I don't need to change the color of the letters on the keyboard but I anyone could tell me where I change those and also where to change the small numbers on the top right corners of the top line if keys.
Also this random, but if I wanted to say change the color of a particular key, like E for example but none of the other keys how would I, if that was at all even possible. If not would there be a way to change my e key so it appears as a heart instead of an e on the keyboard but still types an e when pressed? Thanks for any help guys. I'm going to post a pic of my keyboard theme so far!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
use the center button, but don't press directly on it..you have to use circular motions on the outer part of it to actually make the font big or small.
oh man thank you... kudos to you sir.

[REQ} Text colour change?

Hello...
I've been following a lot of these threads for a while and having decided on my ROM of choice (toms) and doing as much as i understand i've hit my wall when it comes to knowledge of the system! The background i use is quite light and makes it difficult to read the text under certain tabs like the Text tab and the twitter tab. Is there a way i can simply change the colour of the text?
Is there a way i can do it? i'm a quick learner
Thank you.
Here's my background... it's a picture from a walk i did a few months back and it looks great as a background with a few transparencies added withing the tabs.

Love having conversations with myself
I can't actually find the files on my HD2... can anyone help?
Looking through lots of threads it seems quite a difficult task!! is that why there are no other replies to this thread?

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

[Q] Start menu "sorted"

Hey there,
Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).
I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
vs.
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

No, not really,
I don't care about how many grids I have.
Just want to have it sorted (see images above)
use a third party app called "vito winterface" clean looking...search for it and try the trail version...m sure u will like it !
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

CM 12/12.1 WiFi icon width

Hello everyone,
as you might know in Lollipop the WiFi icon got slimmed just a little bit, which I personally really like. Unfortunately I noticed that on CM this change doesn't seem to be adopted, in version 12, so that only the separators of the different bars were removed from the former KK icon.
For demonstration a few pictures:
Side by side comparison:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Overlaid inverted MM AOSP over CM:
Overlaid inverted KK AOSP over CM:
I know that this is only a fine difference and really nitpicking to complain about it :silly:, but I can't unsee it anymore and I am always distracted by it, which is very annoying .
So my question is if anybody knows anything about this oddness, why it exists in the first place and how to maybe "fix" it. I already thought about using a theme, but obviously I didn't find any, that only changes the WiFi icon.
Thanks in advance
