Greetings
After a long search on the internet, I finally found how to change the text in the notifications of the statusbar when you pull it down. This changes the text only in the notifications and not throughout the whole phone. Why I wanted to do this was because in bright conditions, the second line was hard to see when it was a dark gray. Now it is more visible to me with a lighter color and it makes a difference with both transparent and black notifications.
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to res -> values -> open styles.xml with notepad++ or your favorite editor.
Search for: TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent
you can change the color and size of the second line of your notification
TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent.Title
is where you can change things for the first line
and last search for:
TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent.Time
here you can make changes to the timestamp
The trouble I had was knowing exactly what those were referred to and which xml to edit.
Hope this is of some help in the themes and mods people are doing.

yup but it wasn't clear, and didn't work but this one did both in text size and color and whether it was normal or bold too
your suggestion: for timestamp color change in "holoclock" (something) in colors.xml didn't change a thing sorry LOL...

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...

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.
i am Making a Theme With transparent backgrounds and need help in locating the images specified in the following screenshots, i am wanting to make them transparent but need to know the image name and image location, i think they might be in framework/res/drawable-hdpi, but for the life of me cannot locate them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance Tired Storeman.
Do you mean the WiFi, Bluetooth images from the drop down, as they are in the SystemUI.apk and the ones from the settings picture are located in the Settings.apk
In each apkyou need the res > drawable-hdpi folder
Hey ag4751, thanks for the reply, guess i should have explained my request a bit better, i am trying to give the "wireless and network" and the "device" heading from the Settings screenshot and the "Samsung Account, setup samsung account" from the dropdown notification, a transparent background
Sorry I can't point you to the exact files. I don't have access to my PC to check and there are differences between roms. The settings headers will be something like list_section_header in framework-res, they will be .9pngs and if you zoom in on the image/s you should be able to confirm the correct one/s from the colour used...
For the dropdown notification try systemui/res/values/drawable and there should be a line in there for the notification row background (I'm not sure with this if tw uses an image instead its been a while since I used a Samsung from)

Thanks m1keyb, figured out the settings label, it was the tw_dark_header.9.png, now just need to figure out the pulldown notification background
np man, just had another look and the pulldown notification looks like notification_item_background_color & notification_item_background_color_pressed. status_bar_notification_row_background_color is the divider I think.
All in systemui values/ drawables.xml
Hi.
I would love some guidance in this matter. Look at the pictures below, when I'm about to edit a contact the background is black and some text dark grey. Where can I change this, in what apk and xml, so it is readable?

Is this a costum ROM? If it is it might be a bug, or some option like a darker theme that is selected.
