[MENTION=5639721]JoHnNYBlaZE716[/MENTION] , I was able to apply that background to the toast messages as well. If your intrested.

[MENTION=4900068]XDAMaxe[/MENTION] , I dont mind posting it. Give me a few.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
looking awesome - grrrreat
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Yes I am very interested. That looks amazing
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
This is for the toast notifications, go into drawable-xxhdpi

Change tw_toast_frame_material.9.png and tw_toast_frame_material_light.9.png

Edit the image to the background you want with gimp or download mine and replace them.

Also there were no black bars on this png
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
Hello,

Anyone knows where I can find the contact detail background color in 5.1.1? I want to change it from white to black. - pic 1

How can I change the color of selected text when searching in contacts? - pic 2

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Pop up Outlines

add a 9png to framework-res/res/drawable-xxhdpi (name it whatever you want) (example: custom_bg.9.png)

then open alert_dialog_material.xml in layouts folder

add android:background="@drawable/custom_bg" in 1st <linearlayout line after android:id=@id/parentpanel

open tw_alert_dialog_material.xml in layouts folder

add android:background="@drawable/custom_bg" in 1st <linearlayout line after android:id=@id/parentpanel

Make sure you add the black bars to the border or edit an exsisting .9 file.

I take no credit for this. Just passing it along

Notification Outlines

In systemui go to res/drawable and open notification_material_bg.xml and notification_material_bg_dim.xml and add

<stroke android:width="1.0dip" android:color="#yourcolor" />

After the line that starts with solid
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Put an outline on the resolver. Anyone intrested? This one was a bit more complicated.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
Hi Rick,

thanks a lot.

Yep, I'm interested in the white border of resolver.

for the white popup borders: I used a white 9png but failed. Do I have to mod systemui too or is it only for notification outlines ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Ok the .9 png needs to have black borders around it or it will fail. Heres mine you can use it or modify it just be sure to leave the black bars and keep your edits inside them. Did you get the others working ok?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
arrrgh, thanks for your help, but your file doesn't have black bars (opened it in gimp2.8 and patchworker) and I don't know how I can get the bars :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Huh, pulled it out of my system? Anyway you can add them. Its just a black line on each side. Heres a pic of my gimp. If that doesnt work ill try to send it from pc
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
I'm very sorry but the attached png has no borders. but if it as simple as you tell I will of course try to create that borders. Thanks Thanks Thanks for your instructions. I will report back soon ....
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
i zipped it see if that works [MENTION=4900068]XDAMaxe[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
hellzyeah, yesssssssssssss, works (this png has the black bars). thanks a bunch for not giving up :)

I used this png too for the toast messages but sometimes it seems that there is too much space between text and border - any idea ? can I change the 9png to a rectnagle ? how can I do this ?

but hey, anyway, you helped me a lot, so it's enough for today :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
[MENTION=4900068]XDAMaxe[/MENTION] Did you get it working?

Edit : Jynx we posted at the same time. lol Anyway what device are you using? The more I think about the resolver outline I wonder if it will vary between devices.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

I noticed that too but only on certain toasts 90 percent seem good. I wonder if adding a pixel between the perimeter and the black bars will help.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
yes, most messages appear as intended.

alrighty, resolver with border would be very nice ... but hadn't tried so far.

maybe you can use this information: I openend the 9png with patchworker and there is a frame overlay which you can make bigger or smaller in any direction (horizontically and vertically) and it seems that it affects the text positioning within the 9png. With this prog you can extract the 9png to 4 dimensions. I just tried a few times but imo this made things worse, lol.

anyway I'm totally happy with this because I now know exactly what to do to change things to my liking.

(I have a G900F - Galaxy S5)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Ok heres how I did the resolver outline. Download the zip and extract the three files to framework-res/res/drawable-xxhdpi

Go to tramework-res/res/layout/tw_resolver_list.xml and edit three lines

On line 4 the first textview line change, android:background="@drawable/top_resolver_bg"

On line 5 the gridview line change,

android:background="@drawable/resolver_bg"

On line 7 the linearlayout line change,

android:background="@drawable/btm_resolver_bg"

Thats it. This will make the background black so you will need to have white text.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
confirmed - woot, works, yeah! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Has anyone here themed the stock calculator app?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Like this?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Hell yeah that looks sweet. I just wanted to black it out. Lol which i am working on right now. What about the clockpackage have you done that?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Clock package was a lot more difficult for me, I managed to get certain parts of it done but other areas gave me problems. This is all I managed to f8nish before quitting lol
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Teach me oh wise one. ? I know thats prolly a ton of work. Im really stuck on the clockpackage. Could you help me invert it when you have some time?

Im having the same problems finding background colors and such.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

Back to the calc did u redirect to your own png and make the buttons background transparent?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
I'll have to get back to you when I get near my pc.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Got the calc blacked out! Could still use some help on clock though when you get time
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Does anybody know where or what to look under for the menu that slides in from the left in calendar(splanner)?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
It's for 5.1.1? If yes, can you please share it?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Im on 5.0.1, I'd imagine the process is fairly similar though.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
What process? :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
In res/layout-xxhdpi/ you will find the xmls to edit. There are main, panel normal, history.xml. Then for landscape theres layout-xxhdpi-land with the same files. Theres a textcolor line for each number and symbol. The backgrounds are in main and history. If you need more precise info i'll have to get it when im home. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
Guys,

Please help me to find this text color because it drives me crazy since 4-5 days. I tried to locate it also with monitor but it finds only the text not the color of highlighted text.

So shortly, when I look for a contact in log (not Contacts) I start typing the numbers from the dialpad and the matching name of phone numbers appear on the screen. My problem is that the highlighted name letters or numbers are black on black background.

How can I make the highlighted letters or numbers be green, for example?

Thank you in advance..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Is that #ff212121? If so Ive had that issue with other apks. The color was being pulled from systemUI colors.xml. Just a thought
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
If you refer to the color of the highlighted letters, I think that is #ff212121. And, how did you solve it?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
First Id make sure that is the color. I use color picker. Then open all xmls in secContacts with notepad++. Hit ctrl F search the #ffyourcolor and hit search all open docs. At the bottom itll show all lines with that num. If you still dont find it decompile framework-res and repeat process. Once you find the color in framework see what colorname its linked to eg. (PrimaryDark). Then search that colorname in secContacts eg. [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/primarydark) hopefully youll find what xml and line thats for that text and change it to desired color.

Fyi strings that say [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/whatevercolor pull the color from framework Ones that say [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]/whatevercolor pull from apk
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
I had the impression that the strings starting with [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:color/.... are taken from framework not systemui.

When you say phonesky (market play app) you mean SecContacts? :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
Yep, android:color are from framework.

Mate, do you know from where is coming the selected/ highlighted text color when I search in call log? I think I'm losing my mind searching for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
No, sorry mate.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Thanks for correcting me. It was late and i havent done my dialer yet so good to know.:) I could have swore that primarycolor was in system ui. I just had a similar issue with clock package. Thats what i get for changing multiple apks at once.

Can someone tell me the name of the task manager apk i cant find it. [MENTION=2707699]starbucks2010[/MENTION] Could it be in the secContacts provider apk? Just seen there are two secContact apks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
Unfortunately, there is nothing in SecContactsProvider nor in SecTelephonyProvider_Candy. I give up. :( I already lost too much time and it seems that no one knows this information.

I asked in so many threads and no one knows. Too bad. So disappointed ...

Thank you anyway for your willingness to help.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Man usually about the time i give up is when i find it. Itll come to you. I decompiled mine but it looks different from yours. Are you on 5.1.1? (note: this screenshot is al iraqs layer not my work)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
Yes, I'm on 5.1.1. I have uploaded here all the files if you have some free time to look.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
I found the taskmanager apk. Its called jobmanager, and its easy to theme.☺
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Guys I have a question and maybe Im being to picky but has anyone noticed when opening an tw app thats been themed for a second or two the screen turns white while the app is opening? Once the apps loaded its fine but its like while the apps loading. Do you guys see this and is there anything to do about it?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
I can only confirm this 'issue' but I don't know what's the reason
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Im wondering if there is a light colored drawable somewhere causing it. Pretty sure its gonna be in framework.

Well i got it. It was in framework drawable unfortunately i changed a few things and not sure exactly which did it. Basically blacked out xmls that said bg light in drawable folders
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
woa, Rick, that's incredible, you're a genius.

Could you tell me which light bg png files in which drawable folder you blacked out ?

EDIT: just checked all drawable folders of mine and only found two files named with light_bg (tw_device_popup_light_bg.9.png and app_tray_highlight_bg.9.png) - imo the last couldn't be cos it's blue here)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Ok here it is, in framework go to res/drawable/tw_background_holo_light.xml and tw_background_holo_dark.xml, change background color to #ff000000 for black you can also make it transparent just not fully transparent for some reason (wont compile). Imo black looks better anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
what ? in colors ? so far my playing with bg in colors gave me nice mixups with black on black or white on white and so I left it as is. But anyway if you busted the nut it'll be fine.

So Rick the world is waiting for you ...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
No it wasnt in colors i edited that post sorry. Go to drawable folder open tw_background_holo_light.xml change the value to #ff000000. I had the same issue when editing the pngs. Edit the xml and youre golden

Let me know how it goes
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
just tried but no change.

Anyway I must say that I have only one app with that behaviour - it is a kernel config app (boeffla) which you can set to different designs (holo, light, material, light) and it seems that it's not the framework but the app itself.

Don't think about it any longer - I can live with that minor thing.

All in all theming android is a hard thing to handle, something here and something there, you never know what will exactly happen afterwards and the worst thing: you have to run nearly every app if there's any mixup to be sure - and finally one day something black on black or white on white appears nevertheless. On bad days I simply overwrite my modded framework with the default one ...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Damn cant believe that didnt work. Try the holo dark one? What happened was i changed several things at once it started working. Then i didnt know what to tell you guys so i go back and start changing things one at a time till i find it. I was up all night. Lol anyway if i change those valuez now my windows transition does change but honestly it could be in conjunction with something else i did. I learned a lesson. Change one thing at a time.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
yep - but don't bother, as I said I guess it's the app itself which might overwrite framework settings, everything else is fine so far (but I cannot remember if there was any such thing before)

yes, pita confirmed, very hard lessons :(
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Actually max I think we are talking about two different issues. The problem I was addressing was with touchwiz apps like calc clock and calendar. You said your issue was a kernel app so no wonder it didnt work. The file was tw_background_holo_light. It does change the transistion background when opening tw apps. On mine at least anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
it's alright and btw: this kernel app I use is pretty nice to test out some theming changes because you can switch to 4 different designs (explicitally holo, holo light, material, material light). If you'd change some holo things (i.e. popup, alert dialogs, text colors, progress colors, etc.) in framework-res this app doesn't bother if it runs on material but switching it to holo you might see "what you've done" ;) and vice versa. This is because the app dev refers to (some) default holo/material settings/files (which we might like to mod :)) and not - like some devs do - his own special independant theme to make everything always look as he wants to.

Therefore it is possible that our framework-res theme changes are visible in that app too.

So it's not as different as you might have thought :)

And as far as an app refers to settings or files modded in framework-res (or systemui) there could be those issues bringing you down to your knees ...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Thats sounds pretty sweet. I would like to try it. I used to use holo themer for xposed. Sounds kinda similar . Thanks for the heads up. Do you have to be on that kernel for it to work?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
Hi Rick, now I have to apologize due to my misunderstandable words. This kernel app only themes its own design in the described 4 ways - no further theming, nothing else (neither app nor system) will be influenced by that app switch. But it's a good 'tool' to see what happens. And nevertheless you couldn't really rely on it. I'm 1000 miles behind your skills, what I know or found out I try to report to others but this is only a small amount. Sorry for the mixup on my side.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
I really need help finding this actionbar dropdown text color values. Its throughout several apps that i have the issue. Ive litterally changed all textcolor lines in apps and framework with no luck. Has anyone had this issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
Hello all,

I want to inverse that white crap popup which appears after the bootanimation i.e. when you clear dalvik/cache, see screenshot.

Does anyone know which file I have to mod to inverse/turn that background into black and text into white ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
I can't remember where the background is but you can change the text color in framework-res/res/layouts/tw_progress_dialog_material.xml
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
I had changed text color in that file some days ago to #ffffffff but it is still black .... maybe there is some other file/setting in styles.xml ? As far as I know files in res/layout have higher priority than in res/values/styles.xml or am I wrong ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mihaitosca:
That white popup is located in framework-res/res/values/colors/tw_background_material_light

... but is responsible for all dialog in the rom , you will have problem with the black text
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
I'll have to look at my laptop when I get back home but I know it's possible

wow, that looks incredible.

alrighty I'm waiting and hoping that you can find something that busts the nut. I spent lots of hours but if one thing worked another won't do, it's hard for me cos I don't have much knowledge about theming and android/linux at all...

Thanks a bunch in advance

Notification panel header how do i change the color i have to change that "notification_header_bg_tw" to the color name or what i am a noob i have this and i want to change that teal color to the notifications color

Where i find all this stuff
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
You have to use a hex color. Go to color-hex.com to find your color then replace current value. Fyi all value in your xml will have 8 digits the first two are transparency ff is solid through 00 which is fully transparent.

Eg. ff000000 is black and 00000000 is clear

The website only uses the last six digits which are the actual color

Also you will need to know how to use apktool to decompile and recompile your apk. Then create a flashable zip and flash it via recovery. If you need help pm me its gonna be too much for this thread.

@xdamaxe and [MENTION=5639721]JoHnNYBlaZE716[/MENTION] you guys know you can put an outline on that popup too. Like the power menu? You just have to edit quick_popup_bg_mtrl.png in drawables

Anyone know where or how to change multi window bg color? I found the text but no luck on bg yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
I was able to figure out how to set an image as the header background. I just made a white outline for now. If anyones intrested let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] XDAMaxe:
looks awesome. How did you do it?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Im gonna write up a detailed post for you guys tommorow. There are several xmls to edit and a custom png to add. Today I was messing around with windows 10 theming I know its kinda off subject but check this out.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Bro, that Windows 10 looks beast!!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Here is the windows 10 theme. All you have to do is unzip and drop the file into c:/window/resources/themes, then right click on desktop and go to personalize. Click on themes and choose Blacked Out. Then go to the bottom of the window and click on colors. At the bottom of the colors screen you'll see "high contrast settings" click on that and choose your background and buttons colors. Reboot and enjoy. You can also grab an app called winaero (just google it) to change fonts and colors and all kinds of other things. This way of theming windows 10 is best right now because uxStyle and uxTheme are not optimized at all. They bog down my i7 4th gen 16gb of ram and 256 gb ssd. This is just like stock inverted theme just modified the colors it uses. This way there is no hit on performance at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
Ok here is the first part of the header background outline. Go to systemui.apk res/drawables/notification_header_bg.xml and change the line starting with item to

<item android:drawable="@drawable/custom_header_bg" />

Then add a custom png named custom_header_bg.9.png to the drawables-xxhdpi folder. Ill attach mine to show how I got the white outline. Youre welcome to use it but you may have to modify it for your device. It works on my s4 but not sure how it will scale to other devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
This is for the outline on the brightness slider and the toggles expanded: In systemui go to res/drawable/qs_background_primary.xml, Add this directly under the line that starts with <solid add this new line.

<stroke android:width="1.0dip" android:color="#ffffffff" />

Next open res/drawable/qs_background_secondary.xml and repeat the above process. This is for when you move the brightness slider and the notification panel fades out.

Good luck let me know how it goes.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rick1684:
