I am currently theming 'framework-res.apk', and I can't seem to change the text color in buttons (holo light) from black to white, though I have successfully changed them in action bars. I have tried several attempts like creating .xml files and linking them with 'Widget.Holo.Light.Button' from styles.xml (I am trying to change the text color in holo light theme), but no luck (holo light themed apps keep force closing). Can you guys help me with that? :angel: Thanks a lot! By the way, I am using Android 4.2.2.

Anyone interested in modifying the framework-res.apk file in stock 1.1.0 to change the text and background colors from the gray text on white background to stock android configuration? The problem is that many apps have hard to read or ghost dialogs and settings boxes. I was thinking that we could use apktool to correct the colors repack and resign to resolve the issue.
Thoughts? Volunteers?

Yes, definitely. For some kind of app, black/dark gray text with black background, and some others white text with white/light background. I can't read anything. Terrible...
I can make a try on my device if any method be released.
Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance
I love the Holo Light with Dark Actionbar theme. I have been working to make a vrtheme for it, but being amateur in themeing its taking me considerable more time and effort to make it work having to use the hit-and-trial method for everything and its becoming kind-of frustrating. So, even though I'll continue working on my own version of it, I'd like to put the idea out there so that maybe someone with experience can make it for us if he likes the idea as well.
What I'm thinking of is an even Holo Light theme throughout the ROM :
White background & black text for most apps(Phone, Messaging and the likes) and Settings. (I guess you could call it "inverted" but with holo colors thrown in.)
Dark grey & slightly beveled status bar. (Or White status bar with dark grey icons, but would mess up most app notifications since they are in white.)
White background in expanded notifications statusbar with Dark Gray toggles and Dark Grey and Holo blue for notifications.
Minimalistic Black/Grey Icons (like the ones provided for notifications by default in the Android resources) for Phone, Messaging, etc.
For cues and inspiration on the colors and feel, the Light theme on Falcon Pro and GMail's default Light/High Contrast Theme are good to try to take ideas from.
Meanwhile I'll continue working on my own version and I'll post it here as soon as I make a decent beta version.
I'm pretty sure its not been asked for or done here. But if I didn't search properly please point me in the right direction.
So i am currently theming my phone into a Light version of Holo. However I have no idea what to edit in the framework-res.apk considering that there are pre-made holo dark and light xml's and im afraid i would mess up with other apps using them. My question is what xml would i need to modify to set the system to use the Light theme? I have successfully set the Settings application to Holo Light by editing its manifest file. How can i apply light theme to popup menus, power options, volume, dialog boxes and etc? Thank you Im currently running ICS. :laugh:
Hello team, is there a way to change the color of the lettering in gboard? For example I am using material dark theme which has white letters. I wish for those letters to be red at night (using tasker it's possible to change different themes for different times of the day w/ root. But in order to implement my idea, I must first learn how to change the coloring of the text.)
TIA
