I have been working through the night and all weekend so far to learn how to make my own theme based off of CM6 Nightly builds, but I need some help. I made some changes but can't find where these might be found.
I somehow made a change so that now the time and all notifications that appear at the top are in black letters. This also goes the same for the notifications that appear in the pull down menu. Anyone know what icon would be causing this? See pics below.
Also when I turn on the GPS and wifi, the gps and wifi icons doesn't appear at the top. Anyone know what icons I should be looking for?

Forgot to add: I give full credit to all those who came up with the Red themes that I pulled bits and pieces from. I used many sources that I can't remember their names now, but if they want me to specifically name them, let me know and I will.
Dude if you are working in from CM6 (an AOSP build) then the taskbar is white with black letters. Thats how it is by default. You just made the statusbar black, so now it doesn't show up very well (correct me if I am wrong).
Anyway, I believe there is an option in CM6 settings to change the color of text on the statusbar. Or, you can go into framework-res.apk/res/layout/statusbar.xml and change the hex code for the <TextView> elements.
Also, all the statusbar icons are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdmi.

Any help with the two icons: Gps and wifi not appearing in status bar?

Wasn't quite sure of the correct forum to put this one, so I hope this is all right.
I'm taking a stab at creating my own theme and using ThemeGenCE to do it. It's pretty slick and I've been able to figure out most of it, but there are a couple of things that have me stumped...
How do you change the text color in Start Menu items?
How do you change the softkey button and text color?
How do you change the task panel text color?
As for the start menu thing, it's particularly frustrating because I can make the change in the program, but it never seems to "take" on my phone, except for the word "Start" in the titlebar. The menu items themselves stay the same color. The file is getting saved correctly, judging my the timestamp, but the start menu color settings don't seem to have taken.
Peculiarly, though, the highlighted start menu items have taken (but now refuse to change to anything else!) I'm sure it's just a step that I'm missing somewhere.
Thanks!
AJ
Here's an example of what I'm talking about with the inconsistency. ThemeGenCE shows the start menu font in a gold color, but the actual result on the windows mobile device has a black font...which doesn't work well with my theme
Any help is appreciated.

Update...
I've tried a few things now and I have some curious results to report.
One, I've discovered that the colors in the start menu appear to remain as whatever they were the last time the start menu theme was successfully changed. That is, if I install the Windows Default green theme, then install my theme, a highlighted menu item is still black text on a green background, even though ThemeGen clearly shows it should be gold text on a grey background.
I also have tried a demo version of Thememaker M. I imported the theme generated by ThemeGen and found that the menu text and the softkeys were colored just as I had expected them to be, but re-generating the theme and copying it to my device resulted in the same them...the colors didn't take for these elements, nor for the volume bubble or the task list. This indicates that the issue is with the device rather than the theme creators.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you provide insight on how to get past it? This is getting pretty frustrating as it's my first serious attempt to create a theme for my device.
Thanks!

hey guys,
i am currently using stock 3.28.651.1 with few aosp changes and lock screen changes by me to better suit my needs. one thing i am not sure abt is how do i change the home screen layout ? as in the task bar at the bottom (menu, phone, widgets)
i have this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and what i want is this
how can i extract the framework from that rom (2nd pic) to the my rom (1st pic) or is there a flash-able update that i missed looking thru these forums ?
would love for someone to point me in the right direction or teach me or make a flash-able update file.
thanx guys
So looking at the pictures you want the different bottom bar and wallpaper. the wallpaper can just be set and the bottom bar is in com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-port-hdpi should be able to copy the pics here and paste them into your com.htc.resources.apk file.
i just want the bottom bar. do i need to sign it ? or is it just a simple adb pull then push ?

Sorry forgot to mention that those are in Rosie.apk/drawable-hdpi/
common_mainnav_scroller1.png and
common_mainnav_scroller3.png
you can copy them to or just make them transparent.

PERFECT!!!!!! thanx bud. i really appreciate it. its looks like its supposed to now lol. thank u
Running LeeDrOiD 6.2.0 and GO Launcher (other launchers have been tried), is there any way I can make the status bar transparent or even solid black as the gradient bar kind of ruins my theme at the moment.
All the theming/modding links here seem to say they mess about with systemUI.apk which could screw up the ROM.
Removed Sense when installing if that helps.

Would absolutely adore a fully transparent status bar.
Seems there's only 2 of us interested but can anyone help or put my mind at rest and say it can't be done?
You can try this, should only inject transparent statusbar into your SystemUI.
Dont know, if it works with another Launcher than Sense, so dont forget to make a Nandroid-Backup before flashing!!!
LG, Helmut
Thanks for the suggestion. This mod changes the status bar in apps and the lockscreen but not Go Launcher home screens.
Will keep searching...
O.K., then GoLauncher uses another statusbar-background.png than Sense (using the one in SystemUI)
Dont know how to change it in GoLauncher
LG, Helmut

let me see what i can do.....
no that hard to do
EDIT : upload me your go launcher.apk , because market is giving me french version only...
Just in case anyone is interested, at some point GO must have implemented custom status bar support and it can be found here;
Menu (from home screen) > Preferences > Advanced settings > Support transparent status bar
I'm now running ViperX but I'm sure this would work across the board as long as your ROM supports and gives the option to change status bar transparency.
:good:

Great module by the way. I have a little question/feature request if it is possible to change the icons to AOSP icons?

Anyone else having the WiFi icon move ever so slightly when the activity indicator kicks in? No big deal as it's a fantastic module, just what I've been hoping for.
It happens to me too. It would be good if this was fixed, it's a bit annoying.
Another aspect that could be improved would be hiding the module in the app drawer (being able to change options through xposed, of course). But in all, a fantastic module, and one that I had been waiting for.
PS: There is also a typo in the options window, as you can see in your screenshot: "avtivty" instead of activity.
Great module!
Why don't you create an icon to replace the green Android?
(e.g. something that can remind us of our Moto G or the Motorola logo)
Yes i will add icon soon.
Hi, on XT1032 the WiFi icon moves a little when the activity indicator is on. Additionally, the mobile data is showing when is turned off. I think this shouldn't happen, because of the second option in the module.
btw, great app. Just the thing I was looking for!
None of these shows on my phone when using LP icons provided by GravitiBox. Is that correct?

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to change the icon of the navbar for a few days now, still have no clue. It would be nice to have the Stock Android look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I see some theme on the market which have the navbar icons changed, so I assume that it is possible to some options (which I don't know about) in the Theme app to do that without rooting my M9, right?
Thanks in advance
Create a Theme here under Maker Pro
That allows you to change all icons and navbar stuff. I think it does anyway.

You have to use the pro -themer on the page.
Then nav icons and the clock widget have their own steps in the process.
Now... if someone can tell me how to hack the google icons inn instead of the choices htc give me... (they have one that is similar to stock but square is home and two circles indicate the task switcher. (and there is an ugly line on the back key))
i still can't find it
