Hey I am prewarning you of my NOOB STATUS now so get ready to laugh i guess...
Anyways, I have been at this for quite a long time now and I still dont know what the hell im doing. I am trying to change the suggestion color on a theme for themechooser in CM7...I noticed that the Cyanbread.apk theme has a cyan suggestion color. however, i cant find the file to edit or whatever. I am on WizMod2.apk and only want to change the word prediction color. one stinkin color!!! anyone wanna help a noob out???
Hmm I thought I wasnt that big of a noob anymore but I have no idea what you're talking about lol
CM7 <3
I would imagine its in an XML file somewhere.

If your talking about the word predictions in the keyboard, then you have to look in the LatinIME.apk (keyboard app) and look for an XML file. I'm not sure which XML file so you might have to browse through there.

So I found this theme on the Evo thread by Abu and I really would like to use this theme. I am pretty new to this whole thing and was wondering if that is possible to get on the vibrant. here is the theme.

If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. Thank You!
Also, the one on the evo is used with the cyanogen mod, does this matter or is it possible to make it work with Nero?
That's tight, would like to see this happen too
Looking at the theme, its a flashable zip that replaces the framework-res.apk, and several system apk with themed ones. Theoretically the drawables in the framework-res.apk could be used on the vibrant, but I don't think the xml's and the system apps would work. If you're just looking for the status bar being modded, that could easily be made into a metamorph. But all the other stuff would take more time and effort.

Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply
The basic idea is you're going to
1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling
2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)
3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.
Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.
Thanks makes sense now....will have to try it out when I get a chance gotta do sum reading up , thank you

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.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

so i'm trying to learn how to theme but i can only really get a hang of theming stuff like the framework-res.apk and easy stuff like that. some of the apps (like the calculator and what-not) have their stuff all in a xml file. how the heck do it edit that? i'm on a mac fyi..... i'm used to just replacing .png files. this seems to be a bit more complicated than i may be able to even do. any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
Miui theme developers are very helpful u might wana try posting there.

Anyone know how change the white background to black in HTC's stock messaging app? Also, is there a way to do it in the web browser as well without inverting the colors?
Thanks,
Matt

not that i know of Matt , unless you use none stock messaging apps form the market like Handcent SMS or GO SMS PRO those are my fav to use but now i use TouchPal Contacts i like the feel n look of it
hope i helped in a small way if so hit thanks
I think you can decompile the messaging.apk and edit that way, but you would need knowledge of how to theme (which I have none of)

Thanks, yeah I tried handcent but not really feelin' it. Lovin' stock except for that bright ass background at night. lol
I wish I knew how to theme!
You can unzip the apk file, mod it and rezip.
I might do it later if I get some time to.
Ask rachelm920. I known her work since we both owned MotoCliqs. She might have an idea of how it can be done.

I will also look at it... It's probably just hex color codes in the apks xml files

Someone upload a stock de-odexed mms.apk file for me please, so I can look into this, I'm still on the stock odexed file, if you're on stock odex then I'll go ahead with my file, or just do a zip with mine.
