I am 99% sure you are right about the image...I think it is an xml file tho, as I have changed the aforementioned file and it does not change anything in 2.2 and 2.2.1 any clue anybody?

In the drawable folder is list_selector.XML or something to that effect. Could it be an XML file quick needs editing?

The short answer is "a lot"
Obviously, that's not helpful, so here's what I remember off the top of my head that should be helpful:
Framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml:
PHP:
<style name="Widget.ListView.WithBackground" parent="@style/Trans">
<item name="scrollbars">none</item>
<item name="layout_marginTop">0.0px</item>
<item name="listBackground">@drawable/list_selector_background_normal</item>
</style>
The modification is at the end of the first line [parent="@style/Trans"]
Also you need to add the following style somewhere. At the end is fine:
PHP:
<style name="Trans" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/tinted_trans_bg</item>
<item name="textColorHighlight">#8000aeff</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff0000ee</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="colorBackgroundCacheHint">#00000000</item>
</style>
In addition, you need to put the attached tinted_trans_bg.9.png to the /drawables/ directory.
This is for the Settings.apk background as well as a few other small apks.
twframework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml:
PHP:
<style name="TwTheme" parent="@style/TwTrans">
<item name="twTabWidgetStyle">@style/TwTabWidget</item>
<item name="twRadioButtonStyle">@style/TwRightRadioButtonStyle</item>
<item name="twSoftkeyItemStyle">@style/TwSoftkeyItemStyle</item>
<item name="twProgressBarStyle">@style/TwProgressBar</item>
<item name="twSeekBarStyle">@style/TwSeekBar</item>
</style>
The modification is at the end of the first line [parent="@style/TwTrans"]
Also you need to add the following style somewhere. At the end is fine:
PHP:
<style name="TwTrans" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/tinted_trans_bg</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">#8000aeff</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">?android:textColorHintInverse</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#ff0000ee</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">#00000000</item>
</style>
In addition, you need to put the attached tinted_trans_bg.9.png to the /drawables/ directory.
This is for the MMS.apk, and I think Contacts, but can't remember for sure
Contacts and MMS:
These need more changes, but I'll have to let you know more later. That should get you started at least.
