Basically I want to change the font to white for everything that's not already white, well for most things.
1. Notification windows, like where it shows you have a text message or other notification, currently the background is white with black text.
2. Buttons (ie OK, Cancel, etc)
3. Tabs, like example if you click on a market app you installed, the uppper part it will say About and Comments, the selected Tab will be black text and the other tabs will be white
4. Anywhere else there would be black font besides what I type.
5. HTC stock Keyboard
Well basically I want everything to be white because my theme is gonna be dark and red. All buttons and such will be dark, so it will be hard to see black font. In a nutshell I want everything white except the text I type in a box.
Thanks

Hey I did a quick search and found a way to set the background wallpaper of the start menu, but is there an easy way to just change the color? IE: I want to change it to black or gradient black
you can't really change it to any color, as the startmenu-background is a plain white bitmap-fil, and not an internal color. see my thread below (changing internal images-thread), there i wrote about the reg-key where to thange this image.)
Think it's been covered

Thanks for Stericson's Transparent Tab and Icons and Manup's Icons and Status Bar. Here are some screenshots...See if anybody wants it then I will redo a update seriously...
I change the program title from grey to black and some colour tuning for status icons, the battery icon will also show as light blue and light yellow with shadow respectively
I actually really like this. The only thing I hope you can change is the menu tab. I prefer it visible, apparently unlike everyone else. I don't like the blank gap at the bottom of the screen, and I like to see the tab to re-assure me that it's there and that I clicked/dragged it.
Hey not 2 shabby
I Want It!!!!
Out of curiosity, why do several of the menu bars have diagonal lines on them? Is this an issue with resolution? I know the Stericson's first one didn't have it, but the new one does.
That's the image. It's supposed to be there.
Can someone help me or tell me how to change the font color of the start menu, for example, If I press start and all my programs show up and it says the name under the program in black font, I want to change the font color because by default its black and i want white

your phone came with white and black font color as default, unless you deleted the .xml file on your phone , it should be on settings/homescreen/color scheme. any other color you have to make.
Hey Everyone,
I successfully used UOT Kitchen to change battery icon, status bar text color, change the default font on my phone, change pop-up colors, make my drop down notification black and semi-transparent.
However, the one thing that doesn't work is the text on the notification pull down bar is black which is of course unreadable on a black semi-transparent background.
I changed it in UOT Kitchen to Blue. Then I tried doing it over again and changed it to Orange. The end result is still black.
Any help would be appreciated.

Next time please post this questions in the Q/A area:
But from what you are saying the test for "ongoing" notifications are staying black right? like music and things of that nature??? that is because the texts is stored in there own apk. so if you want to change the color of the text you will need to take apart the apk for each app that uses the "ongoing" notification area.
I think I got it
First off, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Thanks for answering and not kicking me out! It won't happen again.
So basically, since the HTC Inc is supposed to have a white pull down notification, most apps make their text black and it would have to be changed in each app (text messaging, google voice texts, etc).
I did run the app Cache Cleaner which posts its results in the notification and they surprisingly showed up in the color (blue) that I had chosen in UOT. But nothing else has, so I guess I just need to change my background color to white or something that works with black text.
Thanks,

No worries on the kick. i dont flame.
The notifications are broken down into 2 groups. "ongoing" and "notification". If its a notification that is controlled by the framework-res.apk it will be themed from the UOT most market apk and gapps use the ongoing section so they are held within there respected apk. the only way around it is to do what you said. have a white bg or if you go and change each apk. sorry. :/
guys i used the UOT kitchen, could i replace the mod'd framework-res.apk by jus using the root explorer?? i mean paste it in the system folder den set permissions n then move it to the system/framework/ folder??
Had this issue to. Tried everything to change the text color with no luck. I finally gave up and settled for a transparent white pulldown. It dosent look to bad but is a bit of a contrast from my mostly black transparent theme.
Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but HTC themes is really weird to work out to get everything you want.
So if I create my own theme, I can't choose my own keyboard or dialer color. The materialistic colors follows the image of the picture unless the image is black, then the colors are pink for some reason.
I can't mix and match either, for example, I want the clock from Tilt, but I don't want its blue colors. I can't change those.
Or if I make my own theme, the default color for my keyboard and dialer are white.
The best I got at mix matching was I downloaded a theme caled Iron Man S6 and got a yellow-black keyboard, then I changed my materialistic colors to Tilt to get Blue colors instead of Yellow. It didn't change my keyboard which is good, but I still have a white dialer and the default clock. Also, Tilt was the only one I could use, cause all the other default themes don't have a black background on the drawer, including custom colors which is really dumb. So, to get a black background, I'm stuck with blue material.
If I go into Personalize and scroll down to Change Keyboard color or Change Dialer color, it only gives two options. The theme i'm on or Default. Why can't it let me choose keyboard colors from different themes? Is this even possible?
Themes is really annoying in that aspect. Sense 6 had many themes auto installed, so I could change the materialistic colors without changing anything else. Also it had a great black keyboard instead of the yucky white one the sense 7 default has.
