[Q] Changing font colors on curtain clock - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Aspiring dev looking for an answer to what should be a simple question.
I have a rom downloaded that uses an ADW MIUI theme. The original dev replaced the pull-down notification bar with a "glass" one.
All in all the theme looks nice, except for one issue...
The font color for the clock is black and the notification bar cuts off the area of the background wallpaper, making the notification area black as well, "hiding" the clock.
Is there something in framework that I can use to change this without making it overrule all the other fonts?
I really like this rom but the only thing I need to fix is the clock font color.

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,

[Q] Theme Q - Editing Widgetlocker Icons (Photoshop)

Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance

quick question about status bar

How can I change the color of the text/icons in my status bar?
I feel like such a newbie asking this
You don't unless your ROM includes a way. The only way to do it is to flash a theme with the colors you want, and that will only change the system icons. App icons will not change.
Thats kinda what I thought

Make Notification Bar Icons 3D

On androids, the only thing that is still bland is the notification bar and its icons. It has never really been beautified and is still either in white or black or solid colour.
I suggest someone make a theme so that the icons can be made more real, more 3d and interesting.
Ideas include ceramic icons, metallic icons, etc which could really be a gamechanger in user interface.
