my res/values-sw360dp-xhdpi/integers.xml is around 250
where as the res/values/integer.xml has 100,150,200,300 and 250 for different lines
ofcourse these values differ in my fast and insane fast launchers
decompile my fast launcher and u will see

Yes, but look at the picture I uploaded. There is a problem when the carrier name is too long. And I don't want S3 status bar, I want to change the brightness sliderto get a combination of CM and S3 layout.
the backgrounds are found in SystemUI.apk
the background with the settings shortcut is a .9.png. something like this. quickpanel_plmn_background.9.png
it is in the statusbar_expanded.xml
if your using a stock deodexed the expanded background is a hex code in status_bar_tracking.xml. try to check it. it can be a png file. it depends what the themer/dev wants

I changed thos pngs, but how I can change the brightness slider?
I have brightness slider governed by progress_horizontal.xml in framework-res.apk
I want to create a drawable value and change all the brightness slider: the seekthumb and the seekbar
it is also a png. try this tutorial. you know what png files are responsible for that.

PS: i've noticed that you're editing/modding a lot.
Finally, I've got my "interestellar or something" status bar. I think it's a bit dark, but I like the blue parts hehe
I did my best, I'm a noob.
Thanks to all!!!
First have the APKTools, NotePad + +, 7Zip and Paciencia, lol ....
- Follow up framework-res.apk \ res \ values
- Open dimens.xml
- Search for the lines:
dimension name = "navigation_bar_height'' 48
dimension name = "navigation_bar_height_landscape'' 48
dimension name = "navigation_bar_width'' 42
-Change the values 48/48/42 to 35/35/32
- SystemUI -> res -> layout -> navigation_bar.xml and open it with Notepad++.
- Inside the navigation_bar.xml file find the following two lines:
"@drawable/ic_sysbar_back" android:scaleType="center"
"@drawable/ic_sysbar_back_land" android:scaleType="center"
- Now, delete the android:scaleType="center" from both lines.

Why just not using xposed / gravitybox? It does the very same thing and much more without going through all of this headache.

Inspired by the theme recently shared by @Ben Ling, here is the pattern-lock screen...with Lego!
To do this yourself, you can download the icons attached to this post and put them into the appropriate drawable-?dpi folder in your decompiled framework-res.apk.
Or, if you're not comfortable with decompiling apk files, just flash the attached 'Lego_PattenLock_Flashable.zip' in CWM (not TWRP). This zip will push a file called 'android-res.apk' into your 'system/vendor/overlay' folder.
By using an overlay apk, it means that your framework-res.apk isn't touched. So you won't lose any of the mods you may have done to it. Pretty cool, no?
Oh, and this zip will make a flashable backup too! Just in case you don't like the changes. Also pretty cool.
(Or, if you use Tickle My Android, why not just let the tool do it for you? I've just updated it with these icons!)
Enjoy!
buddy rock hard.... keep up tha good work but i like tha transparent mod!
Outstanding! Any ideas how to remove the "Draw your pattern" text from the lockscreen? I tried reducing the textsize variable in keyguard.xml [framework-res.apk -> res -> layout -> keyguard.xml] but no effect.
Thanks for this mod!
