I am not 100% on this , but I think it has to do with the theme that is loaded, so you would have to create a theme, or copy an existing one and use a tool that edits windows mobile themes ....
this ones a bit of a pain in the ass.... im sure theres a simple way to do it, just haven't found it yet...
my quick fix, set a dark lockscreen background....
not a great solution but its all ive got I'm afraid....
as watcher mentioned you can edit the themes....
theres also a method which involves editing one of the system files that I found whilst searching for a solution.....
best of luck.....

I've done searching and didn't find anything about changing the start bar clock color. Is there a way to change it to black so I can use a white wallpaper? I looked in Co0kies 1.8.5. but it doesn't have and choice for the start bar color. is there a cab or program? Can it been done even? Thanks!

what i did was, i created a wallpaper purely of what colour i want my taskbar to be...then using Set Wallpaper> Skin XXX> select your wallpaper and you're done...it saves the hassle of installing a cab...

The Text color is set by the Them, Start Menu>Settings>Home , so you can change the theme, but you could also find a theme making app and make your own ...
Thank you for your replies! but i think i asked the question wrong ,,, What I want to do is change the color of the clock in the top bar itself from white to maybe black or dark blue. i have transparent/skinned bars using co0kie 1.8.5 and if I use a wallpaper that is white i can't see the clock as it is white also. So is it possible to change the color of the clock?
I think i no what you mean mate, as far as im aware right now the clock cant be touched, because i wanted to remove the clock and the only way i could do it was use a white wallpaper,
I'm using the CM from KalimochoAz, and it's working very well.
I've noticed that in the standard theme (Androidian) the status-bar icons are 25px height, but the status bar itself is 19px.
So the icons are rescaled and appear very blurred and almost unreadable (expecially the 3G one).
I have cropped all the png for status bar (extracted from Androidian.apk) to 19px, but I'm not able to repack them into a new theme.
Is there someone that can do that? I attach the images to this post, in case someone wants work on this issue...
Edit: i've repacked them into a new theme, there are probably some other icons to adjust...
Edit 01/03: other icons added
Edit 03/03: new version - gps icons fixed
Edit 08/03: this theme: Crispy Bread is more complete and resolves the same issue

Ok, I've just repacked it in an apk theme.
I dont know how to specify that's a LDPI theme, so choosing it theme manager pop a warn: you can do "Apply anyway" and go on.
I've actually been wondering about this blurryness myself but this certainly solves it! Works really nice
Thank you!
New version with other icons cropped.
Some icons appear gray instead of green... this update fixes it too?
Hello, I use your apk and this theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
Really nice, together it's almost perfect, but if you know well android can you help me.
I changed few things in the apk, all worked well.
But I want to make horizontal lock bar in lockscreen looks invisible (they are grey translucide in CM7).
I modified the files "jog_tab..." but nothing changed.
Have you some clue?
P.S: With the honeycomb theme the lockscreen bar looks invisible when someone is calling, it's real nice.

Uhm... the icons are extracted from framework-res.apk of the cyanogenmod 7, some of theese are gray (for example the usb or the headphone one).
This theme only fix the blur effect due to the icons scaling from 25 to 19 pixels.

I was going to put this in the GingerBlur 2.5 thread, but got the smackdown for not having enough posts yet
I was thinking of theming kenneth's great GingerBlur ROM, but have noticed that some of the files seem to be in different places than expected.
It would be helpful if there was any guide or how-to on what .png files would need to be modified to theme particular areas specific to this ROM.
For example I had thought to change the color of the notification bar background you'd find statusbar_background.png in framework-res/res/drawable...alas nothing to be found.
Thanks!
I also want to change the lockscreen slider img.
The vast majority of your editable pngs are in drawable-hdpi, but many of them are draw-9 pngs and require some special handling to alter.

Lockscreen slider is a draw-9 png in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder. In order to alter it you would need to decompile the apk, as opposed to simply extracting it, change the image, and then recompile the apk. I am planning on starting a thread in the near future as a guide/discussion for theming.
Hey guys! Super glad that you all want to theme GingerBlur. I will encourage you to go ahead and wait until the release of GingerBlur 3.0.
Version 3.0 will have a re-worked framework that can be decompiled more easily. Theming will be a breeze!
Good luck!
Awwww man..

coool, cant wait. There are some aspects that I like changing (text colors mainly) and I hope it really is going to be a breeze. Changing images are easy in any case though. It's the text stuff that are tough.
Wow man that theme you got there looks pretty awsome!

Thanks... It's pretty much a mirror of that theme, but not as customized as Tones.. don't have that much time to mess with all the features
The origianl Galaxy S them has Blue, Green, and Red themes of the same.... which is where we both got the theme from to put it on the Atrix..
FYI some icons are in system/app/systemui.apk

Awesome news and a sincere thank you for all of your concerted efforts! Quick general question: do you know if Android supports transparency in the notification bar (the actual static bar at the top)?
I would assume so given they are .png; I think it would be pretty cool if you could have your notifications floating on top of your wallpaper.
adding transparency is not as simple as just editing the png's...you will also need to edit the services.jar in the framework (i think)...i know that is true for adding transparency to the notification bar dropdown...also after some research, launchers such as adw and launcher pro may cut off the wallpaper underneath the status bar, not sure about the stock motoblur launcher, so adding transparency may be pointless...
a more experienced dev or android user may know a bit about this...but i'm just sharing what i know...

WTH man??! Amazing screenshots!! This is exactly the color scheme I was wishing for on the Atrix!
How could you keep such good goodies only yourself? Or did you post your here somewhere?
Me would like it very much!
Thanks!

that's not true, i use paint.net and make transparencies on many of my png's, then simply add them back to the apk and vola.

please make a thread! i'm a little confused, i use 7-zip to extract (which you say is a no no), then change the images (even the .9's, i just add .png to the end, and yes i know that's a no no but that's the point of being deodexed, so you can throw any png in there and either match the name or change the xml, in my case, it works everytime....), throw them back into the apk, and either root exploror the framework back (with an immiediate reboot) or adb it in in between boots (the way your suppose to do it, unless you make an zip to flash which i don't know how).
this method works for me, but if you use root explorer, the rom erases your dialer history (odd, never happened on the cappy).
p.s. this isn't a guide, if somebody does this and bricks their phone, they can hold me responsible and sue me (as i have nothing, nor a job). but seriously, backup your framework and know how to use adb if you want to mod your framework...

The bar is a normal png, you can transparent it fine without any fancy coding.
Yes, the status bar image is a standard png and can be made transparent. However, the wallpaper does not expand behind where the status bar is - so even if you make your status bar transparent, some color needs to be represented behind it. I went into drawables.xml and set the status_bar_background to transparent as well but it still shows up black for the homescreen, it does stay transparent for apps though and shows up differently based on what app is running (aka, for words with friends it shows the blue stripes - but not when I screen cap). Here are some images of what I mean.
- black on the homescreen, wallpaper must not extend that high
- see straight through to the notifications
- shows more grey on my phone than here

I could do white, are you thinking this same style just with all the backgrounds as white? You want the status icons in color, but the wallpaper, lockscreen, and dialer in white?
I updated the themes with the fix to the Carrier Logo Removed. I updated the links in OP.

Can you provide more detail on what the situation is? What ROM have you installed, what CWM version are you on? Were there any errors when flashing? Will need a lot more information in order to help.
Good Day
I have a set of Black icons that I would like to use to set on my Themer icons - but when I go to Edit an icon and try to pick one of the black icons - I can't see the icon because the background of the CHOOSE ICON window is black.
I haven't seen a place where I can change that background color - Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for pointing this out! An idea would be to change your wallpaper to a much lighter image, then revert it back to the original (found in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/prefs/ folder). I've let the developers know so hopefully something can be done soon.

Thanks for reply, i tried setting it to almost fully white...
it does help a little - but its still very difficult to make out.
