can someone help me i need to change my icons to a specific color and dont know how i have gimp but dont know if it will do it the color i need is bc00ff pls help
which icons. Certain icons are in different apk's.
I don't know of a way to adjust colors based on HTML color codes. The issue is you icon is already colored so how can you make it a HTML color? Best bet? load up the HTML color and the icon and adjust the icon using hue to as close as you can get to the HTML. Thats what I would do and be done. I generally adjust to even numbers so its easy to remember. That and I write it down.
Thats a mighty fine shade of purple.. I used a similar shade on my Vikings Skin.

That's cool you got a gimp template. Could you let me know where from? Also http://html-color-codes.info/ is a cool website to easily look at all the colors/find any colors you want in HTML/understand how HTML colors work.

Good thinking never thought of that.
I use this website a lot. I like it because I can search the color code.

I do it in gimp. So you decompile OR extract the statusbar icons (I assume those are the ones you want). You have your image (icon) up in gimp. In the left gimp toolbar there's a fore and background color. I usually just dbl click the bg color, type in my desired hex code, which sets the bg color in the bar to the color. Then in the image edit (middle) area, I select by color (the color you want to swap), then I right click the highlighted color area, click edit/use bg color, and it changes the icon to whatever color. Hope this helps. It makes it easy this way since it saves the bg color you want in the left toolbar, that way you don't have to manually edit the hex code for each image. Not ALL icons are that easy but it works for most of them. If you have themeing questions a GREAT place for help is the "intro to themeing" in evo3D themes stickies.

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,
delete please
you can use the white font and clock from OWQ's metamorph. Hopes this help
i guess its the xml file inside the framework (...\gingerbread_dexfroyo11\gingerbread_dexfroyo\framework-res\res\layout)

thank you very much! I did not know about status_bar.xml. I have replaced the current one with owq's gingerbread port one and the status bar font is indeed white
with status bar achieved, all that is needed so far is:
(1) White text in all typing text fields (any fields that you type in)
(2) white text in long pressed menu (the menu that pops up when you long press on an item; currently the background is black, but the font is also black =[ )
I believes both of them are in services.jar
very good. thx u so much

Hey im stuck in the same boat... i think??
I need to change all text to White WTH...
I've been using qwq's Gingerbread Metamorpph with all the images removed.
Hello ...
I've been searching a lot and didn't found where I can modify the date color (the one that appears when pull down status bar), the notifications color (also when pull down status bar), and the icon label color. See attached files.
I've been searching in framework-res, twframework-res, policies.jar and services.jar and also in LauncherPro.apk: there are related stuff but nothing moves ... It's a mess, some resources are defined in more than 1 file so we don't know which is the good one !
Nothing very important but ... if someone knows I would apeciate as I don't like white neither green colors on phone
Thanks !!

I am not sure, but you can try this:
1) unpack the twframework-res.apk/framework-res.apk...unpack not extract, so that you get readable xml files,
2) In those files, there are options to change color most probably...

yes, I already search in these files and made some modds for others colors aspects. I'm using a tool to decompile/recompile/build which work well. But ... no effects on the notifications area and I didn't found where is the resource for icon label color ...
if u decompiled the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk look into res/values/styles.xml and res/colour folder most of the font colours are placed there....... alternately u can try assigning the colours in res/values/colour.xml and see if it helps....

Thanks for theses ideas, I did it for pulldown status. But, nothing for the icon label color ... Just found the icon menu label.

My notification background color is transparent (the part that you pull down). I hate it...where the heck do I locate the files to change! I looked everywhere!!

Looked everywhere ?? ... You sure .... ?? ... For doing that you must frst decompile SystemUI.apk. Then edit status_bar_tracking.xml to point to an image instead of the color. Then do some .smali changes and put a desired image to be the notification bar background ...
