i was just wondering does anyone know how to change the colour of the volume in cyanogen....because now if i put volume up the bar is orange yellow and i want it to be blue how do i do that???
Maybe it´s possible to change the apk itself! You just have to find out the apk which is responsible for the volume and just change some pictures in the apk. Later you have to sign the apk and overwrite the old one.
This is just guess and isn´t tested.

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.

Wont work on DDKQ8,but someone could do it anyway,who knows Btw,the above mentioned link gives you the value edit to get transparent status bar by editing a value in smali which i was talking about before.However,it DOES work on CM..If you are in need of transparent status bar that badly guys,then check out one of wonokairen's ( I always spell it wrong) theme,it is the only theme that enables transparency in stock roms.As far as i know,TW does not support status bar transparency which is why you guys are facing difficultues.

ICS has changed how it is handled. Now it is a color code and not an image. You can make it an image by redirecting the XML files to point to an image instead as I have done.

yes but you will need 2 version of apktool to do it. One to decompile and another to compile ICS. Then in the layout folder of the system ui you will need to change the xmls for the status bar to android:drawable/status_bar which is in the framework-res apk. You will also need to change the XML in the system UI folder. There is no guide. I found it by trial and error to be honest. A lot of ICS uses color hex codes instead of images now but thankfully they left the unused images in the framework-res folder

Check the layout folder in system UI for the status bar expanded. It will tell you what the background it. It might be a color hex code

Open up the lidroid apk with 7zip or similar program pull out the drawable-hdpi folder.Leave the Lidroid.apk open on your desktop. Color the images to your liking. Then drag the folder back to the open lidroid.apk on your desktop.Close apk.Push to phone. PROFIT!

You could pull it apart, decompile the apks, change the color of the images, and recompile, and you'll have to for each new color you want. It's a decent bit of work but probably the only way you're going to get it unless you talk to the person who makes it and convince them to make another color for you.

Understood. I was hoping someone could also point out the exact file/apk that I would need to mod and hopefully it would be as easy as doing a replace all for the color code I want to replace... which I see bigfau provided (lidroid apk)
What about the icons in the notification area? Battery, signal strength, and etc?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Your right, no worries.
No, I didn't by chance happen to see bigfau's post before I got mine in, as he beat me to the punch and slipped in while I was typing mine.
Besides, even though he replied just before me, is there a problem with me providing similar information? If anything, two people telling the OP essentially the same thing will further reassure the OP and give him more confidence to try his own hand at theming.
And what does pointing me to his ROM thread have to do with my post? I'm well aware of the development going on for our phones.

So I read here that if you are using a mod to change stuff, you can't further update those same mods from the ROM (which might help explain why I have been unsuccessful). So I went into the "15 Toggle.zip" I am using and tried to swap out some PNGs from the "drawable-hdpi" and got a "Not Implemented" error from 7zip... what's up with that?
Not sure if it matters but the PNG's I am trying to swap are not those 9.PNGs... I can't even open those to see what they look like. Something about unsupported compression method...
I think its because you need to decompile the apks, swap out your images, then recompile. It's what you have to do for standard theming, so it should be the same for what you want to do.

hmmm, read somewhere else you only needed to decompile if you were doing stuff to data, like changing values or code in XML files. There are folders within the apk that I can copy to without problem (although expected changes have yet to take effect). Guess it wouldn't hurt to de/recompile and see what happens.
Something else I noticed is that for the "15 Toggle.zips" that don't change the status bar icons, I can swap the status bar images np. But when I run the .zip in CWM, none of my changes take effect. But if I try to change the status bar icons of a "15 Toggles.zip" that I know changes the status bar icons (like bigfau's green 15 toggle mod), I get the "Not Implemented' error.
While I know swapping using 7zip works for some stuff, you're going to run into trouble with .9's and like you've said, xmls, but if you take the little bit of extra time to just decompile and recompile all of the changes will work. In my opinion, its worth the two extra minutes just to not have to deal with the hassle of guessing if something will work or not.

Thanks For The Instructions
I just want to say thank you to all those who have provided information in this thread. With the guidance given I was able to change the color of the toggles from the available purple/green/cyan to what I wanted a teal green and a white version. I only changed the toggle colors nothing else in the notification icons but I feel awesome about it being my first try at anything like this. Both the teal and white look great! I just extracted the images and recolored with gimp then repacked the zip. So thanks! :good:

P.S. If anyone wants the teal or white version PM me and I can send you them!
Edit Battery Color
BlackZenith and I figured out how to change the color of the battery and other icons in the notification bar, you must edit the drawable-xhdpi (note the x :laugh for the images to change from the SystemUI.apk file. Just letting you all know in case you are having trouble with that aspect. I was editing the drawable-hdpi folder at first and when flashed nothing changed.
