[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dimspace:
Im using modified "values.xml" files within the pim folder, and framework folders. But the samples i had to base it on do not include all the various code to change text colours etc.

Had a look at resources.arsc but havnt got an editor that will display the code properly, notepad++ shows it very garbled. it appears to be hex.

example of the xml code im using is based on a sample got from somewhere else.

This is the Pim code

I have the basis of the code for an xml in framework but the sample i have only covers background highlight colouring etc, and not text colouring.
