How to make any text touch responsive - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps

Suppose you want that a text should change it's color when you put your finger on it ,, like you want your carrier label to turn blue when you keep your finger on it and white when you remove,,, This is common in pngs, but what about text,, well theres a way for that too
This is a very easy mod,, all you need is to use your brain, information and search skills to find the right xml with the right string
Let us begin with an easy one,,, Open your status_bar_tracking.xml if you have bottom carrier label text and status_bar_expanded.xml if you have it above
now ,, search the line having
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel
and add an android:textColor="@color/carrier_text" ,,,
Save and close
now let us begin what we need to do to make it blue when we keep our finger on it
Open note pad or note pad ++
Paste this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ddff00"
<item android:color="#ffffff" />
</selector>
save with the name carrier_text and add xml as extension in plce of txt to make it an xml file,, now make a folder named color in SystemUI.apk/res
and recompile.....
And then you got it,, white in normal state and ICS blue when pressed.
NOW SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE LIKE A FLU!!!!!!

I never knew that this is possible.

Well it is bro!!!!!!!
The android system has a lot of possibilities and if you had seen the lidroid-res.apk or framework-res.apk's xmls in colors folder (or Mms.apk) or just saw its amazing matching with drawable xmls (just replace drawable with color and all image paths to color codes )
YOu would have known too!!!!

One mistake in your post...
In status_bar_tracking.xml, we should add a line
Code:
android:textColor="@color/carrier_text"
and not
Code:
android:textColor="@color/carrier_text.xml"

NO NO NO bro,, the extensions of xmls and pngs are never displayed ,,, that is the job of the tags (android:textColor) to do the job,, if you write,, u will only face an error while recompiling,, i have already studied it bro,, if you dont believe just open tab_indicator.xml in Contacts.apk/res/layout-finger......
But still it is good that you asked,, your doubt is solved

Thanks for this! This will definitely go into my new Custom ROM.

Yeah, the extensions of xml's and png's are never displayed but YOU HAVE GIVEN
