Black font notifications?? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

As anyone noticed the black font from other applications like beejive.is there anyway to fix this?

Pretty sure the app has to be changed. Or at least the Framework.res

Yeah, I have this issue from BeyondPod

I have the same issue with AndroIrc, and ScoreMobile, and Winamp for android. Several apps all with black font in the grey background in the notifications...
I'm currently running VillainRom2.4.1

you're right it's framework.res
I lightened the png graphics files in framework.res as my screen seemed particularly dark compared to my friends one, this solved the issue.
Cant remember the precise files but it was easy enough to find look for a thread in this forum I started think the exactly files were listed in that

Messaging App - Adding a Background

Loving the messaging app from Impaler and the one from Mystery Emotions
anybody have any idea where I would find the background behind the message bubbles? I would like to add a background to it.

Would take some nifty XML edits to redirect the background to a png in drawable. Could be done though And glad you like the one I posted. And moved to Q&A

From what I seen that background is controlled by xml. Would take some work getting it to display an image

So could one of you write a tutorial on exactly what needs to be done to the xml files?

Neither one of us have managed to get this thing compiled. We had to actually contact someone else to decompile it

[THEME] Stevekixs Theme

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

Kitchen is real easy. Im trying to figure out how to mod the widgets and other apks to match the theme.

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Do you know how I'd modify the bar above the notifications with the wifi etc? It looks kinda ugly because everything else is black lol.

Gave it a look and loved your theme too. But I am not the biggest fan of red Haha. If only you had that theme in multiple colors! Thanks though!

Ne1 working ona tranparent mms. Iv been trying.with no success. I think there is smali editing for transparent and im no sure how.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it was transparent would it just be the wallpaper in the background? And is there a transparent notification bar for the epic touch?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
can anybody make a grey and green (like the android green)?
Sorry I found the answer, didn't know about changing the view in the app drawer to customizable grid. I pushed the mms.apk through root explorer, rebooted and it worked but it removed the messaging dock icon and I'm only left with 3 dock icons. Any idea how to get it back? TIA

Can this be done via just changing the png file or is there other stuff i need to do ? ive tryed search button but dident find anything so any help apprecited thank you
**Big thanks to daman on thread who has supplied systemui.apk with transparent background
It is probably handled by an XML file or rendered from a small image file

really hate to bump a thread , but im guessing out of all the talented people here someone must know how to get this done or point me in right direction ?
U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

a black version would be epic!!
Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try
thanks for replys and taking time to look into , very much appreciated

Market theme

Hi all, i have this problem, i have found a theme from the market that i totally love apart from the settings background, which i have changed to one i like, i have done this before with no problems, however when i try to install it i get Xapp not installed, What could be the problem? thanks in advance
Have you edited the background in the themes apk and decompiled/recompiled? If you have you've broken the signature.
