I'm no themer, but I believe the reason the lock screens are not ever themed is because that app can't control the framework elements in its current state. The themed parts are in systemui.apk.
Github.com/cyanogenmod
That will list the cyanogenmod repo. Check out the two themes built with cyanogenmod. You will get a feel as to what's going on.

just decompiled some themes and noticed res/xml/Android.xml provides redirections to framework-res. which means the lockscreen pngs at least can be themed.
the "behaviour" of lockscreen however cannot be themed as you said.

you can use desktop visualizer or you can open every apk to change out the icon in each ones res/drawable-hdpi and zip it back up using 7zip(make sure you use normal and you have apk at the end and not zip)
Thanks! Will give it a try

Is there any way?

Is there anyway to theme apps on the go? Meaning replace some icons, images with the phone....

Nope you need to decompile the apk and change the files which cant be done on the device.
You could use a custom launcher to change the image it uses for the icon but it won't actually change the apps icon

EDIT: i have looked in both the framework-res and SystemUI and nothing - This one is slightly confusing, sorry couldn't help this time.
If you still havent found out buy tomorrow i will try again for you...

If this is a sense skin you're working on then as suggested you can find it in Colours.xml in the skin (i'm not sure but i think it might be "rosie settings color filter" or "settings title color" )
I give up atleast for now.. I have a feeling it's in the smali folder which is inaccessible in this Rom because it is odexed.. I decompiled a systemui from another sense based Rom that is deodexed and I saw the 33b5e5 code in some of the quick settings smali
