[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

totally didnt see how old this post was... oops

[Q] Accents and Color Customization

I have been recently messing around with the color accents on my phone. So far I have managed to make a nice Black, Red, Silver theme. However I am stuck with one key I cannot seem to find.
I have successfully managed to change almost all the text to red using these keys:
HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\
ProgressBarBackground
TextNeutralColor80
TextNeutralColor75
TextNeutralColor60
TextNeutralColor30
TextNeutralColor20
TextNeutralColor
ContrastColor
However I cannot seem to find the White text that displays on Tiles nor can I find the color that represents the actualy TILE in the call log or textmessaging. I know they are two separate registry settings because using an OLD advanced config I can easily change the tile color to say Dark Blue however the actual text color in the call log and text message area will still be the normal blue. Which is because the old one did not know where the other keys were. So does anyone know of the entire full list of Registry Keys for editing text colors?

Would be cool to see screen shots of your customizations

Have you looked into the XAML files in \windows. There's a thread where someone mentioned these files are related to the themes/accents. The first 2 digits refer to the theme 00 & 01. The second 2 digits refers to the accent color. They somehow work with the registry values.
For more info, see this post.

Ok excellent. I will poke around in that particular file and see what changes what.
Being on an HTC I can easily overwrite in the windows directory so this should not be a problem.
As to a screen shot I will take a look at the new build of WDM and see if I can screenshot it.

Yes, WPDM lets you take screenshots. You must have the multitasking/dehydrate hack enabled though so it'll stay connected with TouchXperience running in the background when you change screens.

Unfortunately the values for what I am looking for is not in those XAML files. Apparently editing those only changes how apps read the accent colors and does not actually change the colors I am looking for.
The only colors I have left to change is one single value somewhere but I have done searches of the registry and through those Xaml files and they seem to not be there. :-/ It looks great right now, but would blend completely if I could just fix these last few.
I attached a few screens. You can see exactly where I still have a silver/grey text even though it should be red.

If I'm not mistaken some of the fonts are semi transparent, white with the black bg showing through. The first 2 digits are the alpha transparency value. I believe FF is solid where 00 is fully transparent. Another thought, is they look to be the same color of the button icon bar. Either way, looks nice.

[Q]

Hi. I'm theming my GB framework and decided to make all popups dark(gray like ICS). I know the easy way is just to change the popup png colors to change the popup color but I'm having trouble with the font/text color. How do I make the black font color in the popup to white so that it is more readable on the gray popup? Please tell me which part of the styles.xml and what to change.. Thanks

[Q] How To Change the Color Of Text Of the Settings Menu, Phone Contacts

Hi,
I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction, as to how to change the color of the text of the settings menu, as well as of Phone contacts from white to some other color.
I have an S3, 4.3 stock rom, rooted. I have deodexed some apks like SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk.....have customised pngs inside it. But am not able to change the color of the text, ie. when one goes to the Settings menu the text is white and so is the text white in my contacts and phone list (have attached screenshots below of what I am trying to change).
Was wondering if I have to modify the res\values\**.xml file......which file do I have to modify. Do I have to modify the framework-res.apk, or the SystemUI.apk or the SecSettings.apk. Which is the exact line of which xml file that has to be modified.
I have been trying this for the past one month, have googled it and tried different options, but am not able to change the text from white to some other color.
Any help would really be wonderful.

[Q] Moding Area Code Name text color in GS4 KK SecContacts_OSup for dark background?

I am modding SecContacts_OSup from stock SGS4 4.4.2 and cannot figure out where the xml setting is to change the color of the text that appears above the dialpad input display when a valid area code is entered. The text block, circled in red, displays the matched text to the entered number from arrays.xml in the array named "local_name_usa". If anyone can point me to the correct xml file and line that determines the color of this text block, it would greatly appreciated. The white background image is the stock, the dark theme is my mod in it's current state.
Thanks

Found the location in colors.xml in the res/values folder:
<color name="dialpad_cityid_text">#ff2fa6c9</color>
<!-- stock value is <color name="dialpad_cityid_text">#ff484848</color> -->
