Looking for a black font theme

Hi guys!
There are a lot of themes out there, but I haven't found one using a black font in the commandbar and the taskbar.
I'm currently working on a brushed metal theme which is a light gray color, so text needs to be black. I have been able to make the button text (Color_CommandBarText) black, but I cannot find a way to change the title text color on a messagebox. The attached screenprint shows the default white color word warning barely shows on the title bar.
Does anybody know way to change this font to black or better yet, does anybody know an existing theme which uses the black font in all objects?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Piet

[Q] Ongoing event, Dropdown text color problems

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

I need to change the status bar and drop down colors.

I have a white theme with white text. I need to replace all the white text. I am running froyo and yes I have searched and nothing has helped/worked. Thank you in advance.

Look for a compatible theme in the Theme and Apps section or you could possibly make one yourself if you have the know-how (this might help).

You want background to be white? Or text to be white? Kinda confused.

I know how to theme already, thank you though. I got my theme ported and its all white. The problem is; the text is white too. It blends into the background. I need to change the text COLOR from the status bar and drop down to black. How can I do this? And ill give that a try superweapons. Ty.

uot kitchen does this.

Just Google the UOT kitchen on google.
Then then copy these files from the phone to your computer:
1) Framework-res.apk
2) SystemUI.apk
3) TwFramework-res.apk
then do your theme on UOT, then on the file submit page, select [system files] on the upload section, upload your file and submit.

Thank you guys. I used UOT. The text is now black but when I hit menu on the home screen the text is still white and blends with the background. Does anyone know how to change that part?

How to Change This (Notification Font Colour)

Hi,
I am playing around with various themes on CM12.1, and suddenly I find that my font notification for gmail is as in the picture. I try changing to other themes but cannot get the default font color back. It is very difficult to read, and I really appreciate if someone can point out how to change the font colour to something that is more readable.
