Remaining somehow unsatisfied with the available (free and paid) themes, I actually wonder how to edit lets say the background of the menus or the font colour by myself.
I mean, there are some great creations available but their numbers are small (new device, ok, that might change) and with every one of them I found things which don't look good or are less useable than desired and would require only small changes.
This is not to criticize the creators of the current works but mainly a plea to receive some kind of tool or help regarding small changes to an existing theme. Other than the icons or the wallpaper, the phone's apps don't allow for changing much.
So, to list:
- Change menu background
- Change font colour, perhaps text outline (mainly in menus)
- Change transparency of widgets
- Change colour of "enabled" vs. "disabled" sliders and buttons
- Change icon style (means if they are round, squared, etc.)
Things I've found so far, which may apply to the G7: How to change the nav bar colour. (that's a link from the mini review)
Edit:
Would SystemUI Tuner help? From the description, it does touch on UI items (hence the name) but wouldn't allow for the changes I've listed, no?

I created my own little gingerbread theme for JPU but got some problems:
I can't manage to change the text color of menus (to white) and the clock (to #919191) in status bar. While I did find a thread on how to change menu and clock color I can't manage to make it work as the compiled apk makes the phone crash.
Could someone please help me get this to work?
Attaching my framework-res.apk in case anyone wants to use it / have a look at the issue
EDIT: Here's screenshots:
I've looked up and down the cm7 thread and themes section for this? did some Googling and got a possible lead which is editing smali. changing the icon colors within that menu seems to challenging so I just want to switch the font color to red (not render colors) and possibly make the settings background transparent. any help is greatly appreciated
bumping this since it's still open

Hi all, if the Mods don't mind I was hoping to create a thread where we can all share our Text Icons that we have made or used (as long as we have permission from the original creator).
Many of us use text icons for our launchers (ADW, LauncherProPlus, etc.) as well as for Desktop Visualizer (As a widget) and since a lot of people have been sharing their home screens and asking how it's done, I was hoping this thread can be a repository for those icons.
First, the easiest way to make your own text icon is via Simple Text
It will save your icon you make as a .png file and then you navigate to /sdcard/simpletext/ where it will be located by the text name you gave it.
I also used icons from deviant art (I will post them when I have more time)
Standard Resolutions
ADW EX Launcher Dock: 126x126
Desktop Visualizer 1x1 Widget: 256x256
Anyone know of any text icons using the "Roboto" font? I have the font installed on my computer so I guess I might be able to make some custom ones, but I'm unsure of what the 1x1 resolution is.
How to make Roboto Text Icons using Simple Text:
So go to /sdcard/simpletext
make a folder called "Fonts"
Install(copy) the .TFFs for any font you want to use, in this case I installed all 4 versions of the Roboto fonts (Regular, Italic, Bold,...)
Now, when you go to create an icon through simple text and go to change your font, you should see the Roboto versions (or any other versions) you installed.
I really hate folders in nova launcher. Don't know why, maybe it's the spacing between apps and the folder title, maybe too much space between apps.. And the folder icon: this 2x2 layout is not that good imho, whereas the other style choices are copies of older Android versions.
For me it whould be good to see a MIUI-like style: an icon with a 3x3 arrangement (centered inside a square with round edges-like ios too) and, when opened, a fullscreen style with big, centered icons and dimmed background.
Wouldn't it be great?
