you mean the icons in this menu, not at the status bar? if so, they re not in framework, they re in /system/app/ apks. search in settings.apk or how it's called.
I have a thread over here(my signature) with themes, in one of them I changed that, you could take a look.
Ok thanks, ill have a look when I come home, I'm trying to change both settings menu and the menu popup icons..

you'll find everything in htc-resources.apk and rosie.apk
and like nikosrs4 said, especially for the settings icons -- Settings.apk
ok thanks for all the help ive successfully changed all the icons, however 2 icons I cant find: in the drop up menu - Prefrences and notifications. where can i find them ?
Still can't find last two menu icons:-(
Preferences and notifications, they should be in framework.Apk ?

Thanks. I will check it out.
Solution found guys. There is an app on Market called "Folder Organiser Lite". Got everything customized through that app. Hope this helps those that were in my shoes.
I believe it only change shortcut icons, every icons in app drawer still the same.

You create "Labels" which equate to folders and then add apps to that label/Folder and assign an icon to that label/folder. Worked for me.
Again, with the knowledge of the Search Engine, I am not able to find any information about this. I have not been able to find anything. I am new to all of this, still in the process of customizing everything.
I would like to hide the status bar because its ugly and all the information I already have on my home screen because of different widgets, I was just wondering if there is any Notification Widgets out there.
Once the status bar is hidden, I can't access the notifications, and if anyone knows of a Widget that allows me to still see the notifications with the status bar hidden. Many thanks.
Idk of any widget like that, and I don't know what launcher you're using, but launcher pro and adw support hiding the bar, and gestures to make it pull down when u need to access it.
I am using adw.... I have it hidden, but I haven't seen anything to make it visible... do you by chance know where that setting is?

Hey guys, I really love to have some of the CM7 themes from the Android Themes forum on my Vibrant. I've downloaded a few of them to try out but it didn't seem to work. When I hit apply, my phone didn't look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021507
Please help me! Btw i'm running CM7 nightly 56 ROM
Well first of all, you have to be using the ADW launcher included with CM7... you can't be using another launcher like Eugene373's Gingerbread launcher... then only your top menu and icons will change.
If you're downloading the apk file you want, then simply installing it, you should be able to go to you apps, select theme chooser (multi colored android guy) and then apply whatever theme it is in there.
If it doesn't work..... you must be the only one who has that problem lol. Shoot me a PM if you still can't figure it out.
ok so the top menu and icons change. How do I get the rest to work?

restart the phone after you select a new theme.
i did that and only its still just the top menu and icons
Your not using adw launcher thats why. You have to go to ur home screen, hit tbe menu key, then go to manage apps. Somewhere k there you will see launcher, you eed to select it and hit clear defaults.
Im not sure if there is an easier way maybe someone knows

it works on my phone with launcher pro. i select the theme, restart the phone, and everything changes.
Since the gigngerbread update (official one) I've been meaning to post asking about if anyone know much about the "home settings" tab.
It's accessible by pressing the menu button when on the home screen.
In theme settings, i have mine set to "Android Standard" as I didn't like the "Beyond the sky" theme. If you press on the download more tab you're taken to the android market and presented with a list fan made ( I presume) ahome themes. I've check a few of these out but so far haven't found anything there I liked...
Q's:
What is aHome and if I wanted to uninstall it where do I find it? (rooted)
perhaps I could learn to make my own themes...where do I start?

You can find the launcher in /system/app/HuaweiLauncher3.apk and the Beyond The Sky theme is located at /cust/hw/default/app/BeyondTheSkyTheme.apk
What you can do is either edit the launcher or only the theme (not sure if it works then..). Change some icons, remove stuff (make it cleaner), change colors.
Also if some are interested, the status bar quick settings app are located at /cust/hw/default/app/toolbox.apk if anyone want to edit that one as well.

You need some tools and maybe guides, a nice place to start is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814 Also just look at .apk and see how they work (what happens if I change that icon etc.)

You can't. In addition, if you change an icon and then delete it, you have to remake the icon.

You should be able to double-click the app drawer icon, choose Edit, select the the current icon and from there, you can choose any icon, picture or photo as the app icon's replacement.
Icons can be selected from themes, icon packages, your own pictures, etc. Google Play store is your friend as are the plethora of FAQs found by using the search function.
Is this your first Android phone? Regardless, you have a lot of reading before you.

Actually, I have never used a stock launcher, short of the original ADW Launcher.
I mindlessly change the launcher right after flashing a ROM and never considered it.
The very thought of it being a home launcher issue never crossed my mind.
Thanks for pointing out my oversight. :-\
