Hi all,
So I am an avid theme flasher and have seen some nice themes for our phone here on XDA. I am currently on AOKP (latest build) and have noticed that most themes for it are pretty similarly themed, the overall color of theme being the main difference. Now I am no way an experienced developer/coder so correct me if I am wrong, but could a simple change of the overall hex value make same theme a different color? I really like the infinitum themes but the hex color value I would like is #ff39f7ba, leaving everything themed the way it is.
If somebody is able to do this I would be willing to contribute . If not please don't just tell me "how bout you go make it yourself", I would prefer a helpful push in the right direction. Thanks to all developers of these ROMs and themes I am able to enjoy everyday!
Here are examples of the basic idea of the color theming I am requesting, but with the hex color value i provided (no need for glowing):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Not very feasible. For your idea to work it would have to parse the theme files and themes aren't necessarily coded the same.

Ah makes sense. I attempted to read jivy's thread on how to theme but I was not sure if that applied to theming ICS as well since the thread is a little dated. Thanks for the info though.

Hi there,
Terribly n00bish question, I am aware of this, but I couldn't find anything around.
How hard would it be to port the stock GB theme to the Arc? I love it to bits but the blue app background kinda ruins having any theme other than a blue one, and looks messier than the normal black background.
I know I'm being picky but it seems something that may go down well. Even better would be a port of the blue GB themes so you have the clean look of GB but consistency with the SE apps.
I'm pathetic at Android development so I will gladly help in any way I can, but as it is, I'm hopeless at it so doing it myself is a lost cause >.<

Did you only change that battery ?
Did you upload your framework-res.apk or another file ?
Also how did you flash it, or did you just replace the framework-res.apk in /system/app/
Questions i know, but dont really fancy a boot loop lol
Is it possible to use this to build up a stock theme or is it only certain mods that it can do?
kinda like this? i wanna use it in my theme, but don't know how to get the notification and menu texts in red....like this from captivate's darkfire red:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
does anyone already have this done for the vibrant?
cause i'm trying to use a transparent, but slightly themed notification bar, but it looks weird when using browser and other white based apps. so i'm trying to change the color.
They are xmls in the layout folder go through them all the ones that say status. The color codes are in them. You have to decompile them edit then recompile

^^^^
Correct, they are also controlled in framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml
im gonna try this tonight....i put a themed transparent notifcation bar, and when using something white-based, like browser, you can't see the clock or notification text....so i would also like to change the colors on those. is it in the same file(styles.xml)?
@apocalypse: i'm gonna follow your tutorial on the team whiskey forums to change the clock color.
I'm trying to fix this, actually...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
edit: i'm gonna try putting a dark transparent layer over it. see if it helps.....
cause having to edit xmls is kinda over my head....
^ I'm trying to learn too. Use Notepad++ to open/edit/save the .xml files.
Master had a great thread on how to use APK Manager that REALLY helped me. And all of our great developers/themers have been so gracious.
I'm working on a community honeycomb theme, check that thread for help as some of the guys posted what to do, and I have a link to the guide I referenced.

This one was created a long time ago but I brought it back from the grave. lol. I'd like to create a theme based on this color but I'm not sure when I'll have the time. I'll see what I can do. I may port this to a GB ROM but not anytime soon. Enjoy

Looks nice Raider ! .. I think with different colors for the numbers it would be a huge hit ! little hard to see the shaded numbers especially in sunlight.

edit the styles.xml in values xhdpi and values hdpi. if its black (ff000000) then just change that to (ffffffff) white or any other color you want. this is for both the phone and htcdialer apks. there might also be a value port hdpi or xhdpi. check the styles.xml for the hex codes. You might also have to edit the shadow color.
Hello people!! I want some help on theming my frameork-res.apk. I've done almost all things to look it like that of ICS, but now, the only thing I am stuck at is the Text Color of the Title of a dialog. I want to change it to blue like that of ICS.
I am talking about this:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The above is the Dialog of the ICS Rom. Here, the text color of the Title of dialog is Blue. My framework-res.apk is from FroYo, so the Title text color of dialog is white there. This is thing I want to change.
I know that it's in values/styles.xml, but which style inside it?? I see "Theme.Dialog" inside it, there are the following lines:-
Which thing under this I need to modify?? Is that @style/TextAppearance" or "@color/primary_text_dark/light", etc.???
Pleeease Help Me!!! I am struggling since a week for this!! ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!
windowTitleStyle looks promising (if not, you'll need to probe one by one )

I tried it!! It's linked to style-- DialogWindowStyle.
There's a color for text appearance in this style. I changed this color to Blue like ICS. BUT DON'T KNOW WHY, IT DOESN'T WORK!!

Have you checked the settings apk? I have found sometimes things are set there instead of reffering to the stock framework. Mainly with the huge diff in froyo and ICS theming set up
