I'm using the CM from KalimochoAz, and it's working very well.
I've noticed that in the standard theme (Androidian) the status-bar icons are 25px height, but the status bar itself is 19px.
So the icons are rescaled and appear very blurred and almost unreadable (expecially the 3G one).
I have cropped all the png for status bar (extracted from Androidian.apk) to 19px, but I'm not able to repack them into a new theme.
Is there someone that can do that? I attach the images to this post, in case someone wants work on this issue...
Edit: i've repacked them into a new theme, there are probably some other icons to adjust...
Edit 01/03: other icons added
Edit 03/03: new version - gps icons fixed
Edit 08/03: this theme: Crispy Bread is more complete and resolves the same issue
Bye.

Ok, I've just repacked it in an apk theme.
I dont know how to specify that's a LDPI theme, so choosing it theme manager pop a warn: you can do "Apply anyway" and go on.
I've actually been wondering about this blurryness myself but this certainly solves it! Works really nice
Thank you!
New version with other icons cropped.
Some icons appear gray instead of green... this update fixes it too?
Hello, I use your apk and this theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
Really nice, together it's almost perfect, but if you know well android can you help me.
I changed few things in the apk, all worked well.
But I want to make horizontal lock bar in lockscreen looks invisible (they are grey translucide in CM7).
I modified the files "jog_tab..." but nothing changed.
Have you some clue?
P.S: With the honeycomb theme the lockscreen bar looks invisible when someone is calling, it's real nice.

Uhm... the icons are extracted from framework-res.apk of the cyanogenmod 7, some of theese are gray (for example the usb or the headphone one).
This theme only fix the blur effect due to the icons scaling from 25 to 19 pixels.

i was wondering if anyone knew how to change the icons for the android system settings. since i have a droid, with stock android the system menu icons are all well, crappy. i like how sense ui has colored icons for the system and was wondering if anyone knew how to change them.
are the icons needed for change in framework?

Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
you sir are awsome, thank you.
Something a little close to what the first post was talking about. In the settings.apk I have one that was themed and what to use a few of the pngs in other settings.apk sinse I reflashed with a new rom. I've already push a few back that I changed. The png i what to use is a 4G stat data connected, but the color needs be changed to cyanogen and a little transparent for CM6. What program besides PS4 can I use to do it
Thanks
I know you can use photoshop. Those are greyscale.go to image>mode>rgb, then you can make color. For transparent, use eraser too to delete the background. (Its how I did my stuff)

@turkeylord]....
Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi .......... did this worked for you?? i've been looking to change icons in samsung fimrware for last two months but
no success.........
if anyone can help me out..... i want to change my s7 icons to s8 ported.......i have icon packs....everything but where can i find them in system.img
so that i can change them.... .... i checked firmware-res.apk.....systemui.apk... but didnt work.
I was going to put this in the GingerBlur 2.5 thread, but got the smackdown for not having enough posts yet
I was thinking of theming kenneth's great GingerBlur ROM, but have noticed that some of the files seem to be in different places than expected.
It would be helpful if there was any guide or how-to on what .png files would need to be modified to theme particular areas specific to this ROM.
For example I had thought to change the color of the notification bar background you'd find statusbar_background.png in framework-res/res/drawable...alas nothing to be found.
Thanks!
I also want to change the lockscreen slider img.
The vast majority of your editable pngs are in drawable-hdpi, but many of them are draw-9 pngs and require some special handling to alter.

Click to expand...

Lockscreen slider is a draw-9 png in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder. In order to alter it you would need to decompile the apk, as opposed to simply extracting it, change the image, and then recompile the apk. I am planning on starting a thread in the near future as a guide/discussion for theming.
Hey guys! Super glad that you all want to theme GingerBlur. I will encourage you to go ahead and wait until the release of GingerBlur 3.0.
Version 3.0 will have a re-worked framework that can be decompiled more easily. Theming will be a breeze!
Good luck!
Awwww man..

coool, cant wait. There are some aspects that I like changing (text colors mainly) and I hope it really is going to be a breeze. Changing images are easy in any case though. It's the text stuff that are tough.

Awesome news and a sincere thank you for all of your concerted efforts! Quick general question: do you know if Android supports transparency in the notification bar (the actual static bar at the top)?
I would assume so given they are .png; I think it would be pretty cool if you could have your notifications floating on top of your wallpaper.
adding transparency is not as simple as just editing the png's...you will also need to edit the services.jar in the framework (i think)...i know that is true for adding transparency to the notification bar dropdown...also after some research, launchers such as adw and launcher pro may cut off the wallpaper underneath the status bar, not sure about the stock motoblur launcher, so adding transparency may be pointless...
a more experienced dev or android user may know a bit about this...but i'm just sharing what i know...

that's not true, i use paint.net and make transparencies on many of my png's, then simply add them back to the apk and vola.

please make a thread! i'm a little confused, i use 7-zip to extract (which you say is a no no), then change the images (even the .9's, i just add .png to the end, and yes i know that's a no no but that's the point of being deodexed, so you can throw any png in there and either match the name or change the xml, in my case, it works everytime....), throw them back into the apk, and either root exploror the framework back (with an immiediate reboot) or adb it in in between boots (the way your suppose to do it, unless you make an zip to flash which i don't know how).
this method works for me, but if you use root explorer, the rom erases your dialer history (odd, never happened on the cappy).
p.s. this isn't a guide, if somebody does this and bricks their phone, they can hold me responsible and sue me (as i have nothing, nor a job). but seriously, backup your framework and know how to use adb if you want to mod your framework...

The bar is a normal png, you can transparent it fine without any fancy coding.
Yes, the status bar image is a standard png and can be made transparent. However, the wallpaper does not expand behind where the status bar is - so even if you make your status bar transparent, some color needs to be represented behind it. I went into drawables.xml and set the status_bar_background to transparent as well but it still shows up black for the homescreen, it does stay transparent for apps though and shows up differently based on what app is running (aka, for words with friends it shows the blue stripes - but not when I screen cap). Here are some images of what I mean.
- black on the homescreen, wallpaper must not extend that high
- see straight through to the notifications
- shows more grey on my phone than here
Since I got my Arc, the blueish theme has annoyed me, so I decided to make a monochrome version (I called it All black earlier).
* HTC grey background in all views (se screenshot below)
* All grayscale frames
* White and grey progressbars (thanks to AdamTt for pointing me in right direction)
* CRT-off animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109363)
* Grey dividers in phone and music
To-do:
* Change selected text background from yellow to grey
Tested and works with .145
Suggested widgets:
* Minimalistic Text
* Simple Calendar Widget
* ADW Launcher with TextIconCreator for ADW Theme
Note:
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, SemcMusic.apk and SemcPhone.apk is compressed to Other.zip
For framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk:
Move to /system, set permission, then move to /system/framework
For SemcMusic.apk and SemcPhone.apk:
Move to /system, set permission, then move to /system/app.
Thanks for the nice release! Look awesome!!
I've a little comment/ suggestion that is that possible to have the % battery icon in white color? If it's possible this is just perfect!
also another little request, can you also add the reboot option as well as the crt screen off animation..
Mind uploading the background seperately in a .jpg or something ? Cheers

Cheers. I've been Googling it for 20 mins last night to no avail
how do you change the image that is behind the dialer ? and the one behind the settings ?
would like to know more so I can start playing with my own images, can you show me where to find them ?
I can find them but replacing them doesn't work
Hello guys, this is my first cm9 theme via theme chooser. I kinda like some elements of the moto ui graphics and that's where the name from. It's not a motoblur theme but rather my personal taste. It's blue oriented. Note that I do not have the latest cm9 release (im on Quarxs 26.05) and it's possible that there is something that I do not see or something that you do not see. Bugs are possible, my mistakes are also possible. Here is how it looks:
Used icons from Moto Razr, Moto Defy, custom ones, also for the other ui elements that I changed. For the ones that I took few elements for my theme i gave credits (sorry for forgetting your names) and for soudy1994 which theme I used as a base for start and learning things.
This has been said but I'll say again: if you got a theme error when applying hit the Apply anyway. Or if you got a message telling you that the theme is not compiled properly or something like that switch to system theme (if you are using custom one) reboot then switch, or reboot twice.
Version 2.0 is for JB only, cause it has themed contacts and mms that don't work on ICS. If anyone wants ICS update I'll need testers. Also I'll need testers with XHDPI phones, cause I don't have one.

Can you provide more detail on what the situation is? What ROM have you installed, what CWM version are you on? Were there any errors when flashing? Will need a lot more information in order to help.
