I need to change my clock color on the status bar to white. How is this done? I tried decompiling framework-res.apk and looking in status_bar.xml's and it's already set to white. I'm not sure if it's somewhere else? My other phone, the setting was actually in build.prop but I'm not seeing it there either on this phone. Any help?
Phone: Optimus V
ROM: Froyo
Bump? If you don't know the answer, please reply anyways so I know people are even reading this lol =)

Search here on xda, there is a tutorial.
You need apk manager and the framework. After that you need to decompile it, make changes, recompile and sign.

Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply
The basic idea is you're going to
1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling
2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)
3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.
Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.
Thanks makes sense now....will have to try it out when I get a chance gotta do sum reading up , thank you

Careful... 9.png files need to be decompiled first before you can modify them.
There not .9 pngs tho

Thnx a lot.

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .
Sent from my Ultima Weapon using XDA App
Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

Not everyone has ics to help you. Plus are you working from source? Smali? What have you already tried? Are you getting any errors?

I wasn't sure if it involved the same process as gingerbread. I've tried editing the PNG in the framework-res.apk and making it a semi transparent image but once flashed, the status bar is just the same as always. Do I need to edit an XML file? Thank you for your reply

The pull down is not in the framework Res. Its in the systemui apk. It can also be done by editing the xmls for status bar expanded

So I'm making a custom theme for a rom that gets applied through the aokp theme manager. I've got a keyboard themed but the letters are not legible so I need to change the color of them to probably black. Does anyone know what I need to change for this?

I have not modified a keyboard since Froyo but it might be the same
you need to decompile the apk, modify some xml files and I remember having to modify some 9patch files too.
