I am not 100% on this , but I think it has to do with the theme that is loaded, so you would have to create a theme, or copy an existing one and use a tool that edits windows mobile themes ....
this ones a bit of a pain in the ass.... im sure theres a simple way to do it, just haven't found it yet...
my quick fix, set a dark lockscreen background....
not a great solution but its all ive got I'm afraid....
as watcher mentioned you can edit the themes....
theres also a method which involves editing one of the system files that I found whilst searching for a solution.....
best of luck.....
Anybody knows how to do it on G3? I am doing a Stock Froyo theme but I need black time/day in status bar. Thanks in advance.
Black color fonts wont be visible on a black background if ur are changing the color of statusbar also then u need to edit services.jar in system/framework....
Google for colorchangev3.jar or search for the same in xda there u will find how to do it...
I am doing a STOCK froyo theme so I have white status bar and I cant see white clock on it Anyway thanks! Will look into that.
can someone help me i need to change my icons to a specific color and dont know how i have gimp but dont know if it will do it the color i need is bc00ff pls help
which icons. Certain icons are in different apk's.
I don't know of a way to adjust colors based on HTML color codes. The issue is you icon is already colored so how can you make it a HTML color? Best bet? load up the HTML color and the icon and adjust the icon using hue to as close as you can get to the HTML. Thats what I would do and be done. I generally adjust to even numbers so its easy to remember. That and I write it down.
Thats a mighty fine shade of purple.. I used a similar shade on my Vikings Skin.

That's cool you got a gimp template. Could you let me know where from? Also http://html-color-codes.info/ is a cool website to easily look at all the colors/find any colors you want in HTML/understand how HTML colors work.

Good thinking never thought of that.
I use this website a lot. I like it because I can search the color code.

I do it in gimp. So you decompile OR extract the statusbar icons (I assume those are the ones you want). You have your image (icon) up in gimp. In the left gimp toolbar there's a fore and background color. I usually just dbl click the bg color, type in my desired hex code, which sets the bg color in the bar to the color. Then in the image edit (middle) area, I select by color (the color you want to swap), then I right click the highlighted color area, click edit/use bg color, and it changes the icon to whatever color. Hope this helps. It makes it easy this way since it saves the bg color you want in the left toolbar, that way you don't have to manually edit the hex code for each image. Not ALL icons are that easy but it works for most of them. If you have themeing questions a GREAT place for help is the "intro to themeing" in evo3D themes stickies.

Thats the trick thanks works all icons I needed
Hi all!
Aspiring dev looking for an answer to what should be a simple question.
I have a rom downloaded that uses an ADW MIUI theme. The original dev replaced the pull-down notification bar with a "glass" one.
All in all the theme looks nice, except for one issue...
The font color for the clock is black and the notification bar cuts off the area of the background wallpaper, making the notification area black as well, "hiding" the clock.
Is there something in framework that I can use to change this without making it overrule all the other fonts?
I really like this rom but the only thing I need to fix is the clock font color.
Good Day
I have a set of Black icons that I would like to use to set on my Themer icons - but when I go to Edit an icon and try to pick one of the black icons - I can't see the icon because the background of the CHOOSE ICON window is black.
I haven't seen a place where I can change that background color - Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for pointing this out! An idea would be to change your wallpaper to a much lighter image, then revert it back to the original (found in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/prefs/ folder). I've let the developers know so hopefully something can be done soon.

Thanks for reply, i tried setting it to almost fully white...
it does help a little - but its still very difficult to make out.
