Does anyone know of a way to change the font color of the lockscreen text? Or is that something attached to the theme chooser theme?
Never thought about it until today when I changed my background and all my text was unreadable.

You have to decompile the framework and edit some xmls... The hard part is setting up the tools needed to accomplish this. It can be pretty tricky if starting from scratch. In saying that I have a metamorph for my theme that changes the all text color including the lockscreen to blue. I have a red one but it's not separate like the blue version is. You can find a link to my theme in my signature. Let me know what you are looking for exactly?

Thanks for the info Smokem. I was hoping there was a quick way to change the lockscreen font color without using metamorphs or anything like that. I wanted some quick way to change it up on the fly while I was picking out new backgrounds for it. If it's more work than just clicking a few buttons or going through a color wheel then it's not what I was looking for lol.
Thanks anyways though =)
Well I understand what your asking for and if it existed I'd definitely recommend it lol. In all actuality metamorph is the easiest way to accomplish what you want. It can be as easy as a couple clicks . Just sayin...

I just changed my current theme using metamorph to a white status bar theme however I can't see the writing on the status bar because it is white also. (I came from a black theme) I then when to spareparts but this rom version does not offer the option to change the color of the text in spareparts.
Any solution?
Sounds to me like the white bar is assuming you're coming from stock so it doesn't bother to change the text back to black, and the black bar is assuming the same thing, so it changed the text to white.
The best solution would be to reflash the ROM and then install the white bar mod. Most ROMs can just be reflashed on top of themselves with no issues, but if issues appear, wipe and reflash.
However, make sure you nandroid before doing this in case I'm wrong.
Is there a white bar mod? I am just using a theme.
Either way, flash back to default ROM and reflash that theme.
The wysie color mods were moved to cm settings under settings. No need for a wipe.

I am a bit confused. Wysie color mods? I am using SuperCSDIv4 and it is black themed. So I used metamorph to install a 1.6 template stock theme but the text on the status bar is white still along with the white bar. lol
So where is this wysie color mod?
there probably isn't he was assuming your using Cyanogen mod
So how am I suppose to change the text color of the ticker? Is there a ported version of the new spareparts for 1.6 with the ticker color change option?

If the theme was not made for the ROM, the only way to do it is to change the text yourself in the default ROM then reflashing the metamorph. Sorry, I can't help on this. :/
No, there's no ported version. 1.6 is pretty much dead.
well, before i deoxed my X i never used to have problem changing the notification bar. but now its deoxed and the color changes on it but just not transparent? any ideas? ive tried adb push etc and ninja morph... any ideas or help would be nice. thx
Or what am doing wrong? Save th file as png and opacity almost zero and it still doesn't do it. I could install a theme with transparent notification bar ani could change it works fine. But I like the way mine is set up. Help anyone????

you need a patched services.jar to display transparency. xUltimate-TP can do this. Also, many themes include a patched services.jar to do this as well as to make fonts white.
Is there anyway I can change the look of my status bar without an entire theme? I'd also like to change my notifications menu and all apps screens but I care more about the status bar I'm on virtuous 3.0.1

You have to open up framework-res.apk, look for a file named something like framework/drawable-hdpi/status-background.png (not the exact name, but its similar), edit it using photoshop to make it transparent (create a new layer, delete original layer, fill it with some color, and change opacity to some %), then put this new png back into the apk using 7zip.
Push it back into your phone using adb or create an update.zip using the tool found somewhere in this forum.
I installed a ROM yesterday and now my notification bar, once it's expanded/pulled down, has a certain amount of transparency... a lot more transparent than I'd like.
Are there any simple mods I can do to change the alpha values to make it more opaque or have I just got to put up with it? Or is it possible to install a different notification (expanded) screen?
Thanks.
The notificatiin bar can be modified from theme, so you have to find a good one for your rom.

I see, so I can't just modify that current screen? I have to overwrite the whole current theme? Was kind of hoping to keep it how it is and just get the background colour to solid black of the expanded notifications bar.
Thanks anyway, was beginning to think this could be a possible scenario.

Of course you can just change the background.
Thats how a theme is done, taking all the files and modifying them.
You would have to find the files responsible for the notification bar and change them to suit your needs.
How to do that i don't know, but i'm sure the forum search and google will help you out, when you search for something like "android theme tutorial" or something like that.
How do I change color of navigation buttons? (Those three buttons) I'm running cyanogenmod 10.1.
The colour of the icons, or the bar itself?
If you want to change icons you can do it quite easily with this app.
If you want to change the colour of the actual bar, it will be a bit harder. It involves decompiling, editing, and recompiling system apks, since cm doesnt have this feature built in.
Theres a paid app called Softkeyz. You'll need to be rooted though.
just change your CM for an AOKP, of the best rom ever : RoobBox, and you can change every color of etherithing, and also a per app color
