JTC42 allowed me to edit his theme a little,so i came up with this...
-Blue top bar text
-Blue carrier text
All the credit goes to JTC42!!
works great, thanks.
No problem!!
Looks fantastic! I'm running it at the moment but I've edited it to include the resources from this theme but with the solid black statusbar still.
It looks great so it might be worth you asking the OP if you can merge his theme in too
So,u want me to use the blue top bar text and carrier text for that theme?
Im glad to do so!!
But i shall ask him first...

Basically, the theme he has posted is the newest Arc UXP theme leaked, but it has the old statusbar and text colour.
All I did was open up the systemui.apk and replace the statusbar images with my solid black ones (no gradient) and it looks great.
If you did that, but with your text colour mods, it would look amazing.
But definitely ask first!
works hard, thanks,i like it

thank you for ur work. im going to try it but wanna ask a noob question. whats the way to disable rightupside clock (statusbar) ? phone has a lot of clocks..
Would really like to make several Metroid Themes for my Rezound running Viper 1.0.3. I'm very new to it and was wondering what files to edit. Like do I edit the files in the drawable-hdpi or the ones in drawable-xhdpi? Are they basically the same files but in different resolutions? Also how do I edit the statusbar's look. Not the icons on the status bar but the actual status bar itself; like turning it from like black to red or something?
I think its drawable-hdpi. I haven't themed in awhile and my ssd corrupted so I lost all turning progress I had on my computer. As to theming the status bar; I think its part of the systemUI.

Thanks for all the help. I have one more question about notification icons. When I open them in photoshop they are indexed and in 8bit; do I need to keep them that way or can they be RGB?

EDIT: In the Statusbar theme can I add things from SystemUI.apk such as the Notification Bar Background and have that show up in my theme or would I have to edit SystemUI.apk?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
you will want to open the indexed images in something like paint.net, save them, then open in photoshop to edit.
If you are only worried about the statusbar icons then i would suggest grabbing the theme template from viprez thread and just change them, much easier approach and you know what icons you need to change.
Ok thanks for all the help. I think i can take it from here. Again thanks everyone.

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.

This is a transparent notification/status bar mod that includes the accurate honeycomb style battery mod!] This Mod will NOT bork your power menu
Repackaged these mods because they were causing issues for UKB users. It previously modified frameworkres, I have completely removed the frameworkres mods from the zips and repackaged/signed. Should work on any deoodex rom I have personally seen them work on odex as well.

I'm a little confused. I see a battery in your pick and that should be a circle with percent text inside. Also the signal bars should be blue. Are you on Goldeneye 3.0 rom? If so, have you installed any other themes or mods? Compare the pics I posted a few back.
