MIUI Status Bar Colors

I just installed the MIUI Gingerbread ROM and have been playing around with it. It started out that the Signal and 3g icons were white and the all of a sudden changed to green. Green does not go with the theme I am trying to create and can't figure out what changed to make them go green. Any know how I can get them blue or back to white.
They change green when you have a direct connection to Google's servers. It's a Gingerbread feature.
If you're creating a theme, I assume you're familiar with the MIUI theme system. The icons you need to change are in the SystemUI apk (com.android.systemui). You need to change the stat_sys_data_ files, the stat_sys_signal_ files and the stat_sys_wifi_signal_ files to whatever colors will match your theme.
If you just want the stock icons to be a different color, either use photoshop or gimp to adjust the colors.
If you want them to stay white, just copy over all the "fully" pngs with the corresponding file without "fully" in the file name.
Thanks a lot I finally was able to get them to blue to match everything else!

Change background gradient without editing framework-res?

A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.

You need to replace the background images in the frameworks. Mind you this will change all the areas android calls that image to. You will also have to change all the text colors. Or it will be white on white

Need help modifying a widget

Hello everyone, I'm pretty sure this is not the correct section for this question, but can someone tell me which .png file I need to modify to change the green line and the black background and dark gray buttons background on a spotify widget?
I'm assuming I should be in the \res\drawable-hdpi folder for these changes. I just can't find the proper .pnj files I need to modify to change the green stripe, the black background, and dark gray buttons background. I'm trying to make it look like the Google Music widget since I have them on the same screen.
