Initiated into the creation of Android themes - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
I'm interested in learning how to modify the look of my android, and also to create themes.
I have read information about changing icons, such as the battery (systemUI.apk), but I want to learn a little more, or document myself about it, such as changing the color of the fonts on the notification bar, moving the clock site on the notification bar, etc...
Where could document myself and find detailed information about this topic?
Thanks !!!

[Q] how to make custom text icons

I keep looking online and I just can't find the answer I need, I want to make some text icons with the Comfortaa font to make the rest of my phone, but when I make them they always have their white background and I feel like I've tried everything (notepad, word, CS5, paint.net) and no success. Could someone please explain. Thanks in advance!!!
When you start a new project in cs5, you can make the background transparent.
You could also just grab a template and edit to your liking.
Appreciate your help as always!!!!
EDIT: I chose transparent but the background still came up when I added then to my homescreen

Status Bar Header....

Can anyone tell me how to resize this? This is the area in the notification bar that has wifi, bluetooth, etc.. toggles --- I have tried editing size of the image in gimp and ninjamorph but that is not helping. I do not want to be able to see the names of the toggles....help....
Ask Annex. I remember that he knew the mod to remove text under those buttons. Most of his themes do not have that text.
I had the same issue and ended up using a header out of the SGS2 theme for project V on the EDT forums and changing the color to suite my needs.
Edit: attached them here, not sure which one it uses so I did them both.
Thank Annex, 100% his work.

A way to enable adaptive icon shape for all icons?

I was wondering is there a way to make all icons in oval shape? At the moment system icons are in squares, and third party icons are circles? For example, I prefer all icons to be circles (especially those from Fairyland theme).
Yes, I know I can do this with Nova launcher, but with 3rd party launchers you lose some functionality (HiSearch, and most app shortcuts).
I've customised a theme with EMUI theme manager, but I don't think it supports EMUI 9 at it's full potential at the moment, because when I compile the theme and save it, after applying it, icons are mixed up; for example themes icon apply to music, music icon apply photos etc...
So I'm open to ideas! Any suggestions?
You can use this application to convert any icons pack to Huawei icon theme. Then you apply the generated theme as usually you do, it will only change the icons. Hope this helps.

OP solved this by making a custom theme with round icons for the stock apps.
The inconsistent icon shapes bother me a lot too. OP's theme - Fairy Circle - and the excellent XZ3 theme sort this out for now.
Hopefully Huawei fix this jarring business with their next device and we can install themes from that and be done with it.

Customized Battery, Signal and Wifi Icon

Is anyone here an expert in creating themes for EMUI 10.1? I recently saw a theme that has a customized battery, signal and wifi icon which most themes don't have. I am also interested in creating my own theme but I don't know where exactly I can customize the portion mentioned above. I have downloaded Theme Studio so that's a start. But it doesn't give me an option to customize that portion. If anyone can teach me, that would be great.

I'm not an expert on EMUI themes, but I would like to investigate what you pointed about customized icons for the status bar. Can you please share the details about that theme that you found? What's the name for the theme and where to download?
