You'll have to swap the png for it in framework-res.apk (pull it and change the color so you keep it the right size) I'm not sure what its named in cm7 but it shouldn't be hard to find. Once you edit the png just drop it back into the zipped fill using winrar or 7zip. An easier way would be to edit the color in UOT kitchen, you can edit that single file.
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.
Does anyone no how to changer the colour of the brightness slider circled in the picture? Thanks
I havent looked at it but i am guessing that slider color is common across the framework. So all the sliders will be changed.
It must be controlled by progress_horizontal xml in res/drawable in framework-res.apk. Thats how it was in gb at least
My notification background color is transparent (the part that you pull down). I hate it...where the heck do I locate the files to change! I looked everywhere!!

Looked everywhere ?? ... You sure .... ?? ... For doing that you must frst decompile SystemUI.apk. Then edit status_bar_tracking.xml to point to an image instead of the color. Then do some .smali changes and put a desired image to be the notification bar background ...
Hi everyone, hope i am posting this in
the right section..
Guys, my phone is Samsung Galaxy
Mini which is a ldpi device which now
runs on an ICS rom. I am trying to
change the color for the brightness
sliders and volume sliders.
Which .xml need to be edited to
change the colour..
I decompiled framework-res.apk and
changed hex color values under @id/
progress and @id/secondary progress
in "progress_horizontal.xml", also
changed colors of few pngs in
drawable-mdpi in framework,now the
progress seek bar has changed the
color,but brightness slider color
remains the same.
I then decompiled systemui.apk and
changed the hex color values under
@id/progress in
"adi_seekbar.xml",but nothing got
changed..
Can anyone help me? Which .xml is
associated with the seek bar for
brightness and volume slider? Or
should i deal with smali files to
change the color of brighntness slider
and volume slider..
If that brightness slider you're talking about is in status bar, then look for it's pngs in /res/drawable/ or any drawable folder

"ic_sysbar_highlight.png" ... will this be the png associated with it? I left to theme this as i thought this wont be the one..
Edit: the above mentioned png is associated with mid_navigation_bar.xml... so no luck with png's
On CM9 and CM10 is quickpanel_brightness_bg.png for the bar and quickpanel_brightness_icon.png for the icon between the bar

Thanks for the reply So Quickpanel_brightness_bg changes the slider color or the background color?
Slider I think; background seems to be something like quickpanel_brightness_background.png

The xml files that control the progress bar color are theme-dependant and located inside the /res/drawable/ folder.
The names of the files are:
1. scrubber_progress_horizontal_dark.xml
2. scrubber_progress_horizontal_light.xml
In each of these files you'll find a layered list of png's which you'll have to edit to change the look of your progress bar. The last two, scrubber_primary_holo and scrubber_secondary_holo are what you're looking for.
You'll find these in /res/drawable-hdpi (usually). Galaxy Mini, being a LDPI device, it will firstly search for the pngs in drawable-ldpi, then if they're not present there, it will continue searching for the same pngs in the other folder in this order: mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi. Make sure you edit the pngs found in the folder which represents the lowest resolution possible.
One more thing, these being pngs, you can change the whole look of the slider, not just the color.
