Change WM6 Startmenu Background

Hi,
Hope this is the right place to ask this question.
Is it possible to change the background of the startmenu to a color or picture? in my p3600 (htc) its transparent and if i add a background (at today screen) i see it in the startmenu too and the text gets unreadable.
Would be cool if someone has a solution for this.
thank you

Hi nicus,
try QuickMenu from this forum.
Better menu in anyway and you can select colour or a pic
as background.
Best regards

or u can make your own theme(there u can change the color of the text) with http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/themegence.shtml

Oh cool, thanks for the answers.
I'm trying the theme generator

there is also wisbar advance, but for me it is too complicated. The theme generator is a great tool, easy to use.

great tool yes!
i applied a new picture and everything works.. but if i change the picture in the today settings and apply, the startmenu is transparent again
did i miss an option in the theme generator?

So you dont want it transparent? I thought you want to change the text color.
I think you can put a picture also for the startmenu(but I am not sure).

yes i want a fixed color or a image. i can chose one in the theme generator and this works till you chose another background-image for today in the settings (on the ppc).

I think this application is meant for each individual themes. U have to create each theme its own pattern.

to make a new theme and it is still present how u want.

You gotta rip apart the framework-res.apk and edit an xml file in it. then repack and resign (i think). The problem is findint the value to change.

How did you change the color of the statusbar? I also want the white status bar!

I pulled framework-res.apk with adb and then changed the statusbar background with photoshop.. I will make a theme when I have figured how to change the color of the clock date and other things in the statusbar

tried that, StatusBarIcon.smali doesnt look the same in the wildfire as in the one who wrote the guide ones
will do my best to come up with something im going nuts over here trying to find something that work

I made a transparent bar for wildfire.The problem is that metamorph theme i created doesn't work.I want to try and replace myself framework-res.apk,but i am not sure with the apk signing thing.How did you replaced your framework-res.apk?

just push the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ folder on the phone
should look something like this when you are using adb:
adb push c:/_folder_to_new_apk_no_spaces/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

I haven't used the Black Infinitium theme in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't change the stock icon shape, it just changes the the color... well... to white.
Unless you're referring to the default battery icon it comes with, which is definitely un-stock-like (is that even a word? ). However, that can easily be fixed. Assuming you're using the ROM you have listed in your signature...
LG Nexus 4: CrDroid Build 23

... You should have the ability to switch the battery style. I can't test this, as I don't own a Nexus 4 and have never used CrDroid, but according to the ROM's OP, it has the ability to switch the battery style to percentage text and battery icon... So I'll assume it does. Thus, if that's truly the case, all you got to do is apply the Black Infinitium theme, go into your settings, change your battery style to battery icon (or experiment with whatever other battery style options CrDroid offers) until you find the stock-like white battery icon. I know when I rocked AOKP and the Black Infitium theme, I could do just that. Hopefully your ROM can do the same. :good:
Anyways, let me know how it goes. Hopefully you get what you're looking for.

Thanks but it changes more than the status bar icons e.g. volume seeker and gives the phone a more darker look leaving it stock background colour
I got the white status bar icons needed but cant make a theme

Seriously, I have searched high and low for a LONG time, back to when I was running CM 9 and 10 on my Nexus S 4G for a theme that ONLY changes the status bar icons to white and have still came up with nothing. I feel like that'd be something in high demand and easy to find but I guess not. I mean, even changing the overscroll glow and highlighting would be nice. I've considered learning how to theme just do make one lol. If anyone could help us out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it's the media folder. The exact path is /system/media.
@fahadsul3man; Be sure the animation .zip is called bootanimation.zip and has the following permissions: rw-r--r--. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. A suggestion, be sure to make a backup of your original bootanimation.zip in case you ever wish to revert back; this can be done by adding the extension .bak to the end of the bootanimation.zip.

Buddy first I will explain what u have done.
In statusbar tracking inside close drag handle u removed image view created a new layout and added carrier text and com.android.systemui.statusbar.clock to it. Now u also want status icons to be added to it. So u copied the linear layout with id status icons to ur layout in statusbar tracking and compile and u get fc.
Now I explain y. In ur statusbar.xml at start there is a line com.android.systemui.statusbar.statusbarview and then inside that all ur things are placed. The status icons are showed not just because they have id but because they have a method linked to statusbarview and when ur statusicons id is used inside that view than only it works. And if u say y clock and carrier work. They world because they are independent smalli's. Again same is not the case with dateview. Even tough we have different dateview.smalli but it is linked inside statusbarview.smalli so after pulldown it shows dateview on statusbar. And if we want to remove dateview we change its text and backgrounds color to transparent. Basically we hide it nor remove it. If u delete com.android.systemui.statusbar.dateview from statusbar.xml u are bound to get fc bcoz statusbarview.smalli and statusbarservice smalli is made to show it and they found it missing in layout even tough its code is there in smalli file.
Now I give a solution. If u want to bring status icons..I suggest u use statusbar greper coz it has all the status icons needed and u can theme icons to. Or u will have to duplicate the whole status icons method which as far as I know I very time taking and very less chance of succeeding.
I am telling coz I tried the thing but it didn't work and my new systemui mod already has greper where u want them to be and works properly. I haven't released it yet. Good luck

yeah i know i can use any theme, with lockscreen without that shortcut, but, see, i use the clock on the left of the lockscreen and the theme you show is on the center, so, even in settings you can change the position but since is a theme design they cant move for what side you want so...for me is a no go.
i just want a stock theme lockscreen with clock at left without shortcuts. i forget to say that, and its hard, really hard to find one theme with that specific rearangement.

Hey, bro
So, I did what I could now.
I took "Classic" Miui and change the lockscreen
1- I going to put "day of week" later. Only Chinese was working.
2- camera and flashlight still there but you won't see the icon.
Removed other tabs
Tell me if you see other bugs
Just extract the zip file and follow this.
To apply: themes -> my account -> themes -> import (end of the page) -> find the "Classic1.mtz" and apply.

Cause i change the region to Brasil, in Portugal if we have that location we dont get the Themes app avaiable to install or download themes, so i change my region to Brasil, even India, get same error always.
