I'm making a theme on my defy, and can't find what xml is responsible for the contacts ant date/time color, recent calls background, messaging contacts color and date, and the message text and time stamp color in the bubbles. Does anyone know where to look for them ? Was looking in conversation.apk, dialer.apk, contacts.apk, phone.apk, blur-res and framework with no success. Oh and if there is a way I would like to change the messaging background. Btw I'm on MS2Ginger 2.1a. Thank you

Hello, I'm porting a theme from the capti ate forums and for some reason my dropdown notifications have a transparent background and the text is black as well for any popup window like when you long press the homescreen to get widgets, and wallpaper chooser, so i think i need to modify either the framework-res.apk or the twframework-res.apk but don't kno exactly what file to modify to either get the text to white or get a background on those things... if anyone would advice me i'd appreciate it... thanks
I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...
For system app like phone, contacts, setting...
We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
But NO Transparency~~!!!!
For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.
Could you somebody helpl me which xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
I see someting strange indeed. It has something to do with core system apps or not.
I have changed in framework-res.apk the file activity_title_bar.9.png.
In every system app (like contacts, sms, settingsmenus) this changed png isn't visible.
But it is changed because in NinjaMorph, root explorer, Traffic statistics, (SE)Office Suite I see the new color (changed png) in the activitybar.
I think this problem is similar with the problem rleon describes in his post above.
Android uses PNG's from framework-res apk, SystemUI.apk and others not always in the same way.
Developer question I think. I hope some of them will give a reaction on this.
Kind regards,

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.
I make the background transparent in apps like phone, messages and settings
The question is: do I have to edit to accomplish this because the apk decompressed messages and phone but I see something that is the bottom

Yes you have to edit the apks or the framework.
Could you explain a little better the problem

Howdy all! I use a (slightly) modded Yahoo mail app on my HTC M8 (Android 5.0.1).
In the past, I would be able to insert my own notification icons into the apk, sign it, install it, and it's good to go.
I just updated to the latest version of Yahoo mail and made my notification png mods per usual.
Only when the mail icon shows up in the notification bar this time, it's the outline of my custom png, but completely whitewashed (I will post a screenshot later). I know it has to be part of the app theme settings to completely color the notification png white, I just don't know what to look for or where to look.
Suggestions?
No one has any ideas?
