[Q] Editing System Files - HTC EVO 3D

Hey,
I'm using an HTC Evo 3D (rooted) with the stock rom and the Sense UI and I'm editing the images in SystemUI, Framework-res, and Htcresourses apks. I'm doing this as both a learning process and because I want to have better control over what I change than by using uot or one of the market apps.
The only problem is that I want to edit the background of the pulldown list, but I can't seem to find the image associated with it.
Does anyone know the name and location of the image that controls the pulldown list?
Any help, tips or pointers will be great.
thanks

Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
you sir are awsome, thank you.
Something a little close to what the first post was talking about. In the settings.apk I have one that was themed and what to use a few of the pngs in other settings.apk sinse I reflashed with a new rom. I've already push a few back that I changed. The png i what to use is a 4G stat data connected, but the color needs be changed to cyanogen and a little transparent for CM6. What program besides PS4 can I use to do it
Thanks
I know you can use photoshop. Those are greyscale.go to image>mode>rgb, then you can make color. For transparent, use eraser too to delete the background. (Its how I did my stuff)

Need help about theming in general.

I know all the basics about how to build a rom and remove/add apps and all that, just want to know how to build in a theme and change the default background.
I want to be able to theme sense, theme the wallpaper, pulldown notifications bar, and other similar stuff. Would really love a guide, Thanks.
Change default_background.jpg in drawable and mdpi. That's good for most folks. I've been making my themes cleaner and I notice it decompiles better if you put those jpgs in the decompiled folder and recompile then copy the resources.arsc from your recompiled apk along w the jpgs back to your original framework.
You might need a guide if you didn't follow that.
..you'd still have to have your wallpaper set to the default image in the first place, otherwise it wouldn't be seen after theme application until you set it back to default by hand.

[Q] Anyway to change the clock fontnon WidgetLockers sliders?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows a way to edit the font, size and other appearance settings of the unlock sliders in WidgetLocker (mainly the sense sliders)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
If you want to change lock you have to download zip and place it in correct folder. For text and fonts you can use Minimalistic text app (can be found in android market).

Hey mate,
thanks for the reply. Im actually wondering if there is a way to change the font on the slider clock... not the actual slider itself. Ive been successfully switching between the variety of slider themes and finding that the clock on the slider is always the same.
Cheers.

[Q][Theming] Need help with XML edits for color changes in theme

Currently theming and I wanted to change the colors of certain title bars, but cannot find the XML files associated with the color codes. I have looked in the droid developer website and XDA and haven't found the needed info. I also attached images so persons who may know can answer; some stuff I just wanted confirmed. I would like to change some settings title bar colors and some texts. The arrows point out what I need to change, and the fonts of what I want to change are underlined. This is for the droid charge, just so people know.
[Edit]
I have seen people put images in the title bar in settings so if anyone knows how to do this or has a link to anything about what i mentioned I'd appreciate any links or valid help.
in the 3rd screenshot of the settings bar, that can be edited in framework.res.apk, just look for the bar in drawable-mdpi folder in framework.res.apk and use gimp or photoshop to change the color
nope no good i have edited xmls within framework and none of them change the bars i want. i have edited the pull down bar, MMS apk colors, secondary colors, and none have edited what i wanted. thank you for the post though.
i know it is either in colors, drawable, layout, or values.
The bars have to be in framework, I edited mine and it works using apk manager. hmmmm did you check system.ui?
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
yea i have it only changes it for certain instances. the top of the MMS, GMail, the home screen top bar changed, but those i SS in the OP did not change even though i have themed all of the framework-res.apk.

Trying to find Settings png

i am trying to find the Settings png in the attached screenshot so i can change the color to my theme color, does anybody know the name and the location of this png
i have looked through framework, systemui, settings and cannot find it, the only one i can find is ic_launcher_settings in SecSettings/res/drawable-hdpi, but this seems to be the one that shows up in apps drawer
I know it is stareing me in the face, but i just cannot locate it
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Alliance Rom v7.02 AOSP Theme
@@@@ SOLVED @@@@
Not sure, but did you try modding the one from SystemUI (ic_launcher_settings)
It on Settings.apk/res/mipmap-hdpi (or ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi/xxhdpi depend on your phone)
