How to edit a global theme? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded over a dozen themes from Samsung app on my S7, but just a couple of theme change the foreground and background colors of quick settings buttons, which is all I need. But those themes also change dozens of other things which I want unchanged!
How can I create my own theme and edit fore and back colors of quick icons?
Is it also possible to change shape of such icons without rooting?

You create your own themes by learning how. Loads of links here to help you get started. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41820200&postcount=2

One help is better than 1 thousand words (or links).
Your post doesn't help at all, it's just a link to a hundred links.

It helps by giving you links to the info you need. We don't spoon feed here. You will have to put in your own work to figure it out.
In the end you will have to make your own theme.

"I don't know" or "I don't want to help you, it's up to you" would have been more appropriate replies and would have saved band and disk space.

If you are looking for hand holding or spoon feeding then you came to the wrong place. This is a developers forum which means no one will really help you until you help yourself first.

My post should help anyone wanting to learn how to make mods and if you really wanted to learn you'd be spending time reading those links to guides and how-tos as well as the OP of the thread they are posted in and asking more questions instead of turning your nose up at those trying to help.

HELP!Newbie.How to change icon?

I am super newbie. I need to know how to change the icons in my ppc.
I have downloaded from here the icons created by the users but I dont now how to replace my old (boring) icon into those iphone look sleek icons. I need the step by step PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I know you are a newbie but just how much of these forums have you read before posting?
If you go to the development forum ad look at the UktinmateLaunch sticky thread it will tell you all you need to know. However you will have to spend the time reading to get the knowledge yourself.

err actually I have spent hours and hour in forum. Looking back and forth. reading back and forth. And still can't figure out the step by step way
Ill go back and read the thread again:

Help identifying this icon set

Sorry if this is a bit out of place in the ROM development forum, but I was wondering if anyone here can help me identify the name of these set of square icons, if they are part of a series. I noticed a lot of the chefs here have used these in their ROMs. The icons look great, and I'd be interested in getting more of the set. Thank you .
These icons are from recent HTC 6.5 ROM's, HTC has created new icon art for the start menu I'm not sure if the full set is posted anywhere.
I got this from Topaz leaked AT&T. There are some icons that you see in there in this. Have fun.
Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, these are what I've been looking for. I've tried looking around but couldn't find any more of these in the forum. Anyone would be so kind as to post some more sets? Preferrably in icos and dlls, but pngs are cool too. Thank you.

Icon Search Engine

Ok, so... here's me posting my first thread EVER in XDA.
I recently stumbled-upon this website that lets you search somewhere to find all sorts of icons. There are some filters you can use to help narrow down your search like licenses and size and such... I feel like if you want to customize your phone this at least makes it easier to find new icons if you don't like your old ones

questions or comments ask here!
or i guess you can pm me.....
EDIT: spelling XP
Awesome. Thanks
No problem

[Q] Simple Glass icon help?

Hi all,
So I'm using the theme simple glass.and I want to make a few changes to the original icon set on the home screen. Since these are shortcuts, they point to an icon image but I am having a terrible time finding where they are stored. So if you can help with that that would be great. The follow up question would be: do most designers include a broader icon set or just the ones they used? Which would then lead me to ask where to find the rest.
I know these are basic questions but I am just starting down this particular road and need to get some beginner crap out of the way. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your enthusiasm, and glad to have you on board. Themer's icons aren't really stored, they are built into the app. Frustrating but this is to prevent users stealing the icons that are from other designers.
For the icons, unfortunately the designer who created the icons has now removed them. After much searching, the only result we could find was this one here. The only problem is that it's a paid icon pack, and we can't guarantee that the pack will look the same.
Sorry about that!

Thanks Marco. I think I have it figured out. I am hunting through some icon sets for Everything Widget. Just need to find one I like. Great app!
