You can either read a guide on theming (there's a couple linked at the start of the thread), or take a semi transparent theme from somewhere, and look at the edits that were done. The only way to learn is to try. If it's that important to you, you will put in some effort to achieve it :)

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] beats4x:
Hey guys, got a quick question for you. I'm working on a theme for ViperOne m8, and i've set some predefined tweaks that are applied on flashing. For the most part, seems to work great. The only two issues i'm facing with this is the music notification and the action buttons. The text on the music notification is white, and so is the play/pause button. everything else is themed fine. Same issue with the action buttons (reply, forward, etc). They remain white.

I've gone through com.htc.resources, framework-res, framework-res-htc, systemui, music, and musicwidget to no avail. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] beats4x:
Unfortunately, those didn't get the job done. I figured out the play/pause button issue (unrelated to this thread). But the text for the music notification was still white.

I even followed the rabbit down the rabbit hole and themed anything that called on those xmls or that was called on by those xmls.

I ended up flipping the color scheme so that it would work with the white icons, but I'd like to figure this out so I can go back.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
I believe it's controlled in the theme styles as a category color. If I remember, I tried changing it but ended up breaking the app. (play button). I'll look again tonight and make sure I'm not blowing this post out my arse. Lol

Hi, is there any way of making a fullscreen image of the contact when calling?

Thank you.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
You might want to look at theme styles. I have a hunch that it might be controlled somewhere in there
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] PieceKeepr:
I modified the phone.apk to show a bigger contact picture but now the number is cut off at the bottom. What do I need to change so that the caller's number will be visible?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
Maybe just try reducing the image size or adjust the dimens xml
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] PieceKeepr:
I thought about reducing the image size but I've seen some that were tweaked to show a full screen picture and still show the info. There's plenty of room to show the information so I'm thinking it's a dimension adjustment, I just haven't figured out which one.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] PieceKeepr:
Thanks Kiray, it'll probably be next weekend before I have time to dig into it but I appreciate the info. I saw your mod mentioned and I was thinking about installing it but I like the big picture just not the full screen picture. Hopefully your info will lead me to the answer.

statusbar background in app

Does anyone know what png is used for the statusbar background in an opened app like contacts or gallery etc..
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] nashshafrulrezza:
In systemUI if I'm not mistaken. There 3 png related to status bar background. I'll check it when I'm home. But change it won't effect color in those app you mention, as it use multiply color for it.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] kc6wke:
Sup Nash,

Right, I changed the multiply color for it but its darker than what I changed it to. I changed those to 3 to trans but it didn't make a difference. Thought if I make background trans it would lighten it up.

Maybe I'm wrong or its a different png.

Hi all masters, on my m7 sense 6 I am trying to change the lock screen icons

I've succeeded in changing the actual lock icon in HtcLockScreen.apk and its sized correctly etc however

Because the HTC lock icon is smaller, it seems that they had to move it up slightly to be centered. And as my icon is larger, it doesn't need to be moved up anymore, thus now it sits a few pixels too high

Does anyone know how I can lower the lock icon to be the same height as the others? The other icons are done in Venom Tweaks btw

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
I have a question (and forgive me if this has been answered). Searching this thread I was unable to find my answer.

When integrating my own themes into the theme selection, I have noticed that only themes 1, 2, and 3 have a full color bar across the top of the themes to choose (Category Preview Headers). However, any themes added beyond theme 3 get the primary original color choices outlined by the default: blue, green, orange, and black. What do I need to modify to have theme Previews 04-etc mimic the same header color of their primary color choice?

example image included.

Thanks for any info.

Neo

EDIT: I know that they are auto generated into data/data/com.htc.home.personalize/files/themePreview for the theme preview panels but I want to modify whatever it is that determines what colors are to be added to the auto generated Theme Preview Headers. Themes 1-3 have their panel headers generated to the primary color choice yet the rest default to the header panel color choices from default.

I want my theme preview to mimic the idea of what was brilliantly done here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53971038&postcount=676

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fisha21:
Hi neo. This was the one aspect of adding extra themes that I never managed to track down. As far as I recall, no one else has posted a solution yet. I get around it by just vrtheming in a pre-made preview image into the data/data/... folder, and I think I remember punka saying once that he took the same approach

Though if anyone has worked it out, please feel free to contradict me :)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
Thanks for your response and that's the only thing I could think of to get around it as well. However, wouldn't including that folder with the previews in a ROM being flashed get wiped out at first boot?

I feel like I've tried that approach before but will try again in the next few days :)

You can put your preview pictures on a temp folder on your system partition, and write a script that copy these pictures every boot to the right data/data/... folder if there are not exist. Should be easy to do

- gesendet mit meinem HTC One M8 -
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fisha21:
I've used this method myself in our rom for last few months, not had any issues with the previews getting wiped after first boot...seems that putting the images in there while flashing stops the system from generating new ones on first boot.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
There's two different approaches you can use. One is inserting the images into data/data/com.htc.home.personalize or whatever, as has been mentioned above. This is quick and easy, but we had to get the devs of our ROM (as well as all themers) to insert a line in updater script to delete these images so that there are no leftovers when flashing something else later on.

If you want the previews to be auto generated, then obviously each of the 4 colours at the top of the header is pulled from multiply_color for each theme category in styles.xml of resources. I'm not actually sure what the story is with adding extra themes, but the new resources for 4.4.4 seems to have 9 themes in total (default + 1-8). To determine the image for each preview, you should just be able to vr theme your wallpapers into /system/customize/resource, and then you can insert the wallpaper name into the corresponding entry in default.xml found in /system/customize/ACC/:

<item type="string-array" name="htctheme_list">
<string>GRE00</string>
<string>0</string>
<string>wallpapers_00.jpg</string>
<string>ORG00</string>
<string>1</string>
<string>wallpapers_01.jpg</string>
<string>HTC00</string>
<string>2</string>
<string>wallpapers_02.jpg</string>
<string>GRY01</string>
<string>3</string>
<string>wallpapers_03.jpg</string>
<string>BLU00</string>
<string>4</string>
<string>wallpapers_04.jpg</string>
<string>GRY00</string>
<string>5</string>
<string>wallpapers_05.jpg</string>
<string>PNK00</string>
<string>6</string>
<string>wallpapers_06.jpg</string>
<string>BLU01</string>
<string>7</string>
<string>wallpapers_07.jpg</string>
<string>RED00</string>
<string>8</string>
<string>wallpapers_08.jpg</string>
</item>

Hope that makes sense!
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
Yes it does and I've been putting that into practice for some time now as well.

It appears as though for themes 4 and above, the preview headers are defined by the 4 categories of multiply_color for the HTC default and not their own specific theme multiply_color. In the past also, placing my theme previews into the corresponding folder and having the updater script push them into place, they've been absent after flashing the Rom. Perhaps I was doing it incorrectly however and will try it again on Monday.

Thanks all for the suggestions and ideas.

Just to follow this up, I've added a new theme (10th theme) to the latest 4.4.4 resources, and the preview of this tenth theme is indeed pulling the multiply colours for each category of the new theme. The only difference to Fisha's guide is that I didn't add to the wallpaper and wallpaper_theme arrays, but I did add the extra entry to default.xml.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
Thanks. I should have mentioned I was modifying 4.4.2 which underwent some restructure before going to 4.4.3 and then to 4.4.4 within the resources.

I haven't had a chance to look at the 4.4.4 resources at all yet, but I've heard HTC made some changes to the way themes are registered...the additional lines in default.xml for example.

I couldn't find the pressed button for HTC apps and for my invert I was able to lighten the buttons enough to still work with the theme and still actually see you are pressing the button.

If you know where those are that'd be great, but that isn't the priority, I'm having a real hard time finding this button image, I'd love to lighten it like in the HTC Apps picture so that when pressed it's dark.

here are some images

if anyone knows the image for the space between these buttons that'd also be amazing

Font is tabfont_color in its app and the tab bar color I think is standard or focused. Not 100% sure but I'll double check later
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
The black ring tone button is a color as well and that comes from resources apk, the tabfont_color (htcthumb.xml in drawable)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="oval"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="@color/tabfont_color" />
<size android:height="@dimen/htc_thumb_size" android:width="@dimen/htc_thumb_size" />
</shape>

One way of getting around it is making a custom image (54x54px) and add it to the drawable-xxhdpi folder. Edit the xml to this

<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/volume_button" />
</selector>

Or, just change the color reference to something you want. You can also watch this for further instructions. Cheers

If I could figure out a way to make it change colors on press that'd be amazing but I can't find it for the life of me, I was thinking maybe there may be a way to make it change to a text color on press?

also for the headers, I'm not looking to change color, just the background to match the rest of the theme, like here in settings is what I'd like it to match to:

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
Well, first thing, I'm not on Sense at the moment so it'll be a little hard to test what you are asking about for the first question. As far as I can recall, the tab doesn't have a press color, or at least I don't remember seeing one but I could be wrong.

The header that you are asking about is different from the settings, the settings is section_divider_top.9.png. The header in the other screenshots is a color and depending on the app, it will be in the color.xml. It's going to be the list_item_bg_top_color, list_item_bg_top_bottom, or focused_color. If you're looking at theming the message apk, you'll need to edit the resources apk.
