Hello
Can anyone with more experience tell me how do I change this gray-ish "no notifications" background to black when you pull down the menu from the system bar? I need to figure it out without xposed or wanam. Is this also png file somewhere in the SystemUI or framework?
I need this for my theme to be black complitely, please someone help me out.

It's all in the systemui.apk
It's both, png files and Xml files you need to edit.

Please shed me some light to xml editing, png's are easy pie, but I need some info for the xml's, I'm quick learner here
Decompile the .apk, find the xml your wanting to edit, use a text editor like Notepad++, which is free and I highly recommend. Open the xml with the text editor, make your changes and save. Recompile the .apk and you're done.

I know how to change the unlock sliders on the framework files, but I cannot find the file location for the Answering sliders. Did anyone have any idea where are this files located?
did you check in say the theme you are running under the app folder inside dialer or contacts drawables?
Are they not in drawable-hdpi?

Should be inside that folder, but not in the framework.
Should be inside phone.apk. Will either need to decompile it, change & recompile it, or insert the images with 7-zip, etc.
You might try using ninjamorph, easy way to change items without having to decompile. Its in the market.

Heh...i just assumed he was using ninja/metamorph. If you edit the PNGs with a photoediting program, ninjamorph or metamorph will decompile and recompile them for you.
You know what they say about assuming.

Ok im getting pretty good at editing frameworks and finally got a working theme for bionix!!! I think it looks pretty good, it gives Bionix Frost a cooler look!!! but let me know what you guys think. The pics will be posted in a minute.
Stuff Ive Themed So Far:
Nuke Green Status Bar
Themed Drop Down Menu w/New Icons,Transparent Background and Custom Galaxy Tab!!
Download and Slider Bars are Themed
Pop Up Menus Glow
Usb icons Are Changed
Lockscreen Themed
Like everybody else says im not responsible for bricks!! I have had this theme all day testing with no problems but this is just version 1 ill be adding more to the theme as i go. Also note i had a force close of titanium backup right after pushing the files not sure why just rebooted and never had a problem again and yes titanium back still works perfect i checked.
Just unzip and push both files to system/framework then reboot.
Heres the pics enjoy
Looks good. Look in res/layout/status_bar_expanded.XML to find the lines for the white background on your notification pulldown. ;-)

I know uot gives the option becuase i made those white parts black it even shows it in the preview but when i cook it, it changes to white. Im try to find it in the drawable-hdpi file to change it manually.

you have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to convert the xml's from binary to text, then recompile once done.
the drop down menu runs from twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. i don't know which changes it so i always cook the status bars the same in both files. i think if u try again u should get in done in uot kitchen.

Yeah i always cook both files the same way i just think theres something diffrent about the bionix frameworks? would stock kd1 frameworks work on bionix? Im probably just going to edit the xml and be done with it. Thanks for the freedback.

Also i added a pic below let me know if i changed the right thing. I circled the color code that changed it to black #0000 it was originally #FF000 wich i think is white right?? thanks for helping this noob out

unzip and copy both frameworks files to your sd card then using super manger or root explorer copy and paste to system/framework then reboot.

The top image is system/app/Conversations.apk/drawable-hdpi/conv_drop_down.9.png
Since it is a .9.png you will need to go through some extra steps to change it (decompile, etc.). Search how to work with .9.pngs here or on Google.
I think phillu97 may be right about the second element (day sent bg) being in the xml.

@Phillu... which xml files are the ones which you modified? And which lines did u change the code?
Ok so I just have a quick question about theming. How do I change the text color on the lockscreen? I'm pretty sure I have to edit one of the .xml files, but which one and how? And do I have to actually decompile the .apk to edit it or can I just pull it using 7zip and edit it that way? I already have edited the actual .pngs for the lockscreen, so if anyone can help me out with this it would be great. Oh and this is with the stock deodexed rom.
I'm not sure where its located but it will be an xml file and you will need to decompile wherever it lays. Try androidpolicy.jar and look in there..

So it's not actually in the lockscreen .apk? I will look in the androidpolicy.jar. Also how would I go about decompiling it?
Hi, is it possible to change background in the notification center on a 4.2.1 ROM? Is there an easy way (like an app) or i must decompile systemui.apk and edit xml files?
Thank you
Nobody?

It's hard to find the correct image, however I won't give up!!
meanwhile, if someone wants to try, this is a zip file with decompiled SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
What changed with respect to the normal darkbeanjelly?

Nothing. I've just decompiled it, so it's easier if someone wants to analyze it.
