FROYO ONLY
CM7 users can manually push the framework-res.apk to their devices
See the change log in the next post for changes
Official name changed is happening
Due to the fact that Clean and Theme rhyme and I always feel silly saying it in my head, I'm changing the theme name to WretchedBlues. Blues, because the primary color is blue. I'm already picturing some fun names for future modded themes, such as WretchedLove (Red) and WretchedEnvy (Green), etc..
So what's in the theme?
Pretty graphics (of course)
Ubuntu fonts
Color Settings app
Modded Vending (currently only for the MDPI users, but this will get updated in the next day or two)
This is a themed framework for those running on Froyo. It is a complete make over for both MDPI and HDPI density settings. For those of you who are new, you view screenshots at the theme's webpage.
What mods do you include?
A Straight up theme with no mods
Thanks to brianf21, we now have a status bar on the bottom of the screen. His mod also adds a home/menu/back button and fixes FCs on known apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214)
I had one very determined person hound me about the Volume +- mapping mod. I've inlcuded a package for that as well
***you must revert back to standard WretchedBlues before flashing this version!***
What's new in this version?
All themes are Flashable via Clockwork Recovery
Should work on all DPI settings
Completely new look for the HDPI version, while still bringing over some of the MDPI elements (quality increased to suit the HDPI display though). Things that have not changed are limited to buttons and text fields. I felt they looked good enough so why go changing them
Ubuntu fonts
I've removed every mention of the word "phone" from as much of the framework as I can. No more "Power options". It now reads "Nook options" and "Your Nook will power down".
Added a new look and feel to all pop-up windows.
New spinners
Semi-transparent notification pulldown (again, thenk Fuzzy_Dunlop)
Added a revert for Sweetened
Plus more

Changelog
02/07/2011
added the CWM flashable update.zip (http://jjis.me/froyo-clean/update.zip) file
corrected the text color of the "clear all" button under the status expanded menu
attempted to alter the color of the png for the activity status bar, but don't like the new color either
02/08/2011
Corrected the black text in the extended status bar notifications. I had to change the backgrounds to a lighter color since I can not control every app that will post notifications.
Notification headers now have a green background to tie with the green icons in the status bar.
Activity header background color has been altered to eliminate banding.
Altered the progress bars for those who were not happy with the over use of blue (and I agree after using for a few days). I've altered the bars to match the colors of the list select items.
Included the themed Market 2.2.11 so the icons in the status bar tie in better with the overall theme
I made the status pull down a little bit darker (depending on the number of request, I'll make the status bar darker as well)
That's it for now. If you guys have color suggestions for the progress bars and notification header backgrounds, let me know. I'm open to ideas. I'm trying to limit the number of colors I use though, so nothing crazy. It still needs to tie into the overall theme.

Updated the updater-script for CWM. It will clear the Dalvik Cache in hopes that it will free memory of left over files. There was also an issue in Froyo 0.6.7 where an extra framework folder was copied to /system/framework. The new script deletes this folder since it is not needed. I'm also clearing the old framework-res.apk, services.jar, Vending.apk and bootanimation.zip files before copying mine over. Again, hopefully this will clear up any performance problems people were having. I've looked at optimizing some more, but after comparing my files to the stock Froyo framework files, mine are actually smaller in file size.
Pulled the Vending.apk from the Gapps package being used for Froyo 0.6.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917660). I've been using it on my Nook and haven't had a problem with it at all. Seems to work well.
02/11/2011
Color icons in Settings
Set status bar to black
Extended status menu is now black to match
Custom menu selection background
02/25/2011
Added HDPI from Galaxy S Cognition ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tovif0oZxUs
Changed the boot animation to the new Nook Color Red Blue animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952188&highlight=boot+animation (thanks Chuck6993)
03/02/2011
Finally got the back button issue fixed
Removed all mentions of the word phone and replaced with NOOKcolor (e.g. "Your NOOKcolor will shut down")
03/13/2011
Softkeys version: semi-transparent notification menu added, graciously, by Fuzzy_Dunlop (yes, I will apply to the non-softkeys version as well)
03/24/2011
Officially dropping support for soft keys mod in version WretchedBlues 0.1 and older. Too many bugs with it and this was not something I supported
Added the new modded status bar. This mod moves the status bar to bottom and adds a notification/home/menu/back button. It also fixes known FCs that were in the old version. Thanks goes to brianf21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214)
Made all versions compatible with DPI settings
03/25/2011
Corrected the framework strings to remove as many instances of the word "phone" where applicable. Should now read either "NOOKcolor" or "device" throughout the framework.
Changed the options menus to be semi-transparent black with white text to match the status bar better.
03/28/2011
Introducing a new versioning system. The status bar mod will have a version number matching the date of brianf21's updates. This may change once he gets his mod to update without having to alter the services.jar and framework-res.apk files. For now, though, my version number will match his release dates so you guys will know if my theme is up to date.
Made the status bar background solid black
Increased the contrast of the status bar buttons.
The options menu now matches the status bar a little better
03/30/2011
Just a minor tweak to Sweetened to remove a density setting tag
Updated unModded to 0.1.3 (black status bar, better looking options menu)
Added a revert for Sweetened to go back to unModded
04/14/2011
Finally got off my lazy butt and updated the Sweetened theme to brianf21's 4/10 update
I've no additional changes, hence no update to unModded
Upcoming Changes
make the options menu seem more integrated with the theme in 0.1.2. It was a quick hack and I'm not too happy with it. Just doesn't seem to look right compared to the status bar
Can anyone think of anything else?
installed successfully on 0.6.6 and seems to be working just as advertised. aside from a typo in the instructions - "adb push clean-services.jar /system/framework/serverices.jar" everything installed smoothly. good work!

Oops. My coding habits coming out there. I apparently type $_SERVER way too often
Thanks for the catch. It's corrected now.
Beforehand, thanks for your work and development on the nook
Now, is there any chance of incorporating the Menu and Back button mod for the Status bar into this theme?
Original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
I know there are quite a few of us early Froyo(emmc) adopters that use this mod instead of remapping the vol+/- hard buttons.
Looks amazing. Is there any way I can add the softkeys to this theme? They are featured in theis thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
I am afraid if I push them over your files it will mess something up and not boot.
Awesome them though!
I will have to look at that apk and see what changes they've made. I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure what will happen. If it looks like it's something doable then I can put together a framework with and without.
Normally, I use Button Savior in the market as work around for you for now.

Already installed I was using the button mod for the volume keys, but I found it was more convient to have the volume buttons with the keys on softbar, with button savior as a backup for some misc things. I kinda liked that better. But again awesome theme!! Is that Zegou UI you are using for the font? I dont know anything about theming, but I am decent with photoshop.If you send me the pngs( I assume thats what they are) I would love to make a red/black verison for you to recompile back into a theme.
Excellent work, will test and post any bugs!
I'm actually going to post the PSD files as soon as I get them cleaned up. I need to edit the layer names and file names so they match the file name of the PNG they're replacing.

is there any way to fix the notification pull down? It's always scaled poorly (doesn't stretch across the screen). Perhaps some xml file in the framework somewhere?
I have managed to get it fullscreen before by messing with lcd density, but it never seems to survice a reboot
Installed without a hitch! It looks great. I will post a screen of my set up, after I tweak a few things.
Nice work!

I am looking into this. It's not in the XML files. They all read "fill_parent" so there is something else I'm missing. I'm starting to think it's something in the jar files. As soon as I have a fix though, it will be posted.
W00t the only part of stock I missed was the blk. Installed fine on eMMC, happy to get away from froyos ugly gray

Looks like I missed a minor thing. The Clear All button in the status expanded menu is white text. Should be black. I'm working on the flashable zip so I will include the fix when I get the update.zip working.
Unfortunately CWM doesn't want to play nice with me so the update.zip is taking longer than I wanted.

I don't believe you can yet. Just for kicks I tried installing it by using Root Expolrer to replace the files, and it put me in a boot loop. Terminal Emulator might work, but I haven't tried.
Hey everyone!
I've looked around on the web but I can't seem to be able to find a solid guide on how to mod the notification bar to be a different color or semi transparent.
I know some miui themes exist, but i want to do it manually so i or anyone else stumbling on this thread can apply it to their current rom and theme they have going.
I guess while we're at it, if anyone also knows how to change individual icons on the status bar that would be awesome too.
To my knowledge uot kitchen does not work with transparent/different colored notification bars.
Hopefully someone can shed some light!

I FINALLY got it to work on my phone after months of searching. What ROM are you on?
Currently theming and I wanted to change the colors of certain title bars, but cannot find the XML files associated with the color codes. I have looked in the droid developer website and XDA and haven't found the needed info. I also attached images so persons who may know can answer; some stuff I just wanted confirmed. I would like to change some settings title bar colors and some texts. The arrows point out what I need to change, and the fonts of what I want to change are underlined. This is for the droid charge, just so people know.
[Edit]
I have seen people put images in the title bar in settings so if anyone knows how to do this or has a link to anything about what i mentioned I'd appreciate any links or valid help.
in the 3rd screenshot of the settings bar, that can be edited in framework.res.apk, just look for the bar in drawable-mdpi folder in framework.res.apk and use gimp or photoshop to change the color
nope no good i have edited xmls within framework and none of them change the bars i want. i have edited the pull down bar, MMS apk colors, secondary colors, and none have edited what i wanted. thank you for the post though.
i know it is either in colors, drawable, layout, or values.
The bars have to be in framework, I edited mine and it works using apk manager. hmmmm did you check system.ui?
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
yea i have it only changes it for certain instances. the top of the MMS, GMail, the home screen top bar changed, but those i SS in the OP did not change even though i have themed all of the framework-res.apk.
Hey guys,
I need help from you!
I've got a rom with cyanogenmod 7 base(mdpi resolution) and i wanted to retheme statusbar, but i won't work, as statusbar won't show :crying:
I wanted to change the following things:
Center Clock
Statusbar blue colored
White Clock/Texts
blue dropdownmenu
Can anyone do that for me, i will give him the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk if he want's to do that, please help, it's for a big project called CloudOS! But i can't run it, (de)compile works and didn't gives errors, but statusbar won't show
Thank you,
Glenn
i am not an experied developer but maybe you forgot to set the permissions of the files...
Sorry for my bad englisch
I didn't do much theming when I was in CM7. I know you can change notification drop-down colour but I don't know about status bar colour and others. Anyway, try theme by TeamCarbon in play store. They are best themers and they mod as much as available.
Yes it can be done. You will have to edit the layout xmls to do it.

I can probably do it, but you have to explain what kind of blue you want. Also if you want any sort of gradients or fading or something
Edit: also, what do you mean with drop down menu, which part of it ?

Been trying to figure out what to edit in TW JB StatusUI.apk to make the backgrounds of the actual notifications themselves transparent. Tried editing a bunch of xmls, but I've only found values for the status bar, the notification dropdown background, and the categories and whatnot in the notification dropdown.
I suspect that the files I need to edit are some of the .9.png files in xhdpi, but I've also found that I can't edit or add any 9patch files without causing SystemUI.apk to fail to recompile, so I haven't been able to test those files. Probably just doing something wrong, there, as I've never messed with those files before.
Looking through the GS3 and GN2 question forums hasn't yielded much in the way of answers for this, so I'm just going to ask here. Any ideas?
Edit: This background (from a different phone): http://s15.postimage.org/y8ad3u917/Screenshot_2012_10_03_17_59_49.png
I got my 9patch files working, still can't figure this out. I can make the status bar transparent, the notification dropdown windown transparent, the quick toggles transparent, but I just can't find what actually sets the background for the notifications themselves!
This is seriously causing me a massive headache. I've edited so many png files at this point that I think I'm losing my mind.
Hi there, willl this help?
