I just bought a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and when I connected the mouse I found that I couldn't find it when it was on a dark background and I would like to know what apk the picture file is in so I can swap it out for one that isn't black and blue on a black and blue themed rom.
I am on gb an the pointer jus shows up on connecting.

That isn't my problem just the color of the mouse is the same as the theme and I want to change it to a computer standard white with black edge so that it's easily viewable in contrast to the black background.
so change the theme....the pointer appears white thts it m8

I am not changing the whole theme I just want to replace the mouse with stock since it was themed by the rom maker.
All I am asking is for the location of the image file, something like
some.apk/res/drawable...
and maybe a way to make it bigger but that isn't as important.

The rom maker may know where your mouse is ???

Woohoo I finally found it by extracting the couple main system apks I knew of and manually looking at every image in the res directory until I found it.
For reference it was framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/pointer_arrow.png
Now could someone please do me a favor since I am on vacation and using a very crappy free WiFi that is slow and bad signal to the point of cutting in and out every few seconds.
Could someone attach just that file or the framework-res.apk that has the stock white mouse pointer since I can't download a full rom to extract it myself.
Edit: ignore my request I just realized that is what Gimp is for and edited it myself.

Cannot figure out which png it is in framework ( I think its in here) for when you are installing or downloading something. Its the solid one, not the stripped one. Anyone? Thanks in advance.
umm it is in the drawable as three seperate png i just cant think of what they are called right now
wait I think it is actually called Progressbar_intermediate1.png 2 and 3 under res/drawable-mdpi

those I already know about. I meant the one that is a solid color for when installing something or downloading. you see it moving along. its a solid orange by default
That is controlled in the resource.arsc file. I haven't figured out how to edit it yet but the color is Def in that file, if I just switch that file only with one I got from an in credible. Theme, it changes

would you mind sharing this file? And where is it located? And if I copy the file over that you give, what else changes?
yea there is only one problem with using this file that I have come across so far and its kind of big. The text color on all buttons is white so it cant be seen. The file itself is located in the framework-res.apk. I was using a program called winmerge to go through and the whole file is completley different but I havent figured out how to edit it nor how to read exactly what is says. I just formatted my laptop and put Ubuntu on it so as of right now I cant get the file to you, You can either search for Indigo_Blue Theme for CM6 here on XDA or blackle(google). The theme is in all hdpi but still has some good looking pngs you can use in your theme. I have resized all of them as well for mdpi but for some reason I get errors when trying to apply them all. If you cant find it I will send it to you here in a little bit though. I have been doing alot of reading and messing my phone up trying to figure out the best way to theme. For one I want to take the spinner out of the nfl program and put it in my theme but Im a long way from that. If you like I can send you over my notes as I come up with more discoveries of what it controlled where and how to edit its defaults to what I want.

Sure, if ya dont mind. I am not going to get into heavy themeing as you can see from my theme, but this is one of the things that bugs me as i want to change it and cant figure it out, lol.
So... Has anyone figured out if there is a way to change the text bubble color on GB roms? I don't have any experience with xml, so I haven't the slightest where to start going about doing that? Thanks in advance...
Text bubble? Like toast or something?

Haha. No. The sms bubbles in a conversation. I want to know if there is a way to change the colors.
Check in mms.apk
sent from my bolt of thunder
They are located in the mms.apk. There is two .9.png files that you could edit in order to change the colors. There is a thread here on xda that explains how to edit .9.pngs if you need help.
Where can I find that thread? And I'm guessing that's going to require a bit of adb and xml knowledge?

I am not sure about needing any knowledge in adb or xml editing as I have not tried editing the bubbles the RIGHT way yet. I did manage to change color though.
How did you change the colors? I usually just roll with whatever the theme I'm running does, but my girl is nagging me about changing the colors.

Decompile the apk. Find the two 9.pngs. open them in your image editor. Select the whole image then move each side of your selected box in one pixel so that the black lines are on the outside of the selected area. Don't change any pixels in the outer edge of a 9.png at all. Change the color of your selected area to whatever you want. Save it. Run it through the x9patcher ( I think that's what it is called) and then get your patched 9.pngs from the done folder and drag and drop them into your apk that should already be in a flashable zip file. Flash in clock work and your done.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
If only changing the color, and its a solid color, I generally just load the .9 images in paint.net and use the simple hue/saturation adjuster. This saves the pain of having to patch it and no worries about affecting the outer pixel layer that controls the sizing. Have not had a problem with this method yet.

Okay... I know realize I know absolutely nothing about this at all. Mcluvn... My head almost exploded reading that post. Haha. I would really like different colors but I am fairly sure I would break something. Actually... I don't think I could even get far enough into this process to break something since I have no clue what you're talking about. Thanks for the try though. :/

It might sound hard but its actually pretty easy.
What rom are you using?
What colors do you want them to be?
I can wip up a few different colored bubble mods this weekend for you.
Using any launcher, when I have an App that has a "More" on the main menu, when I hit it I get another menu with grey text on a white background. It's almost unreadable. This happens with all Apps that have a "more" i.e. second menu. The main menu is fine.
Anyone else notice this or is it a problem unique to my system?
I have encountered this as well. Happened with go launcher settings.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
I have the same problem. If you press down on the menu options you can see what it says then move away if you dont want to select it. I noticed it first on google maps.
Anyone have a fix or work-around for this issue? It's driving me nuts.
Can i see a screenshot?
It happens on a lot of different apps. Mostly when you press the more menu.
Picture of the menu when it opens and the other one is what it looks like when you press on a menu option.

The other problem I have is that the black status bar at the bottom sometimes covers up menu items.
same
my friend
same problem with me
I have a suspicion what the culprit of this may be, but I don't know enough to dare test the theory.
The menus affected by this looked to me to be .png images due to the gradients and drop shadows. I used root explorer to extract my framework-res.apk file from the system/app. I examined it on my PC by changing .apk to .zip and extracting the contents.
In res/drawable-mdpi there are what appear to me to be the UI .png files. It's fairly easy to ID most of the files the Nook interface is using.
The file I suspect causing white menus is: "menu_background.9.png"
Right next to it is a file called "list_selector_background_pressed.9.png" which looks to me like the same gradient file when you press the white menus.
I opened menu_background file in Photoshop and grayed out the white BG (saved it keeping the BG transparent) but I'm way too chicken to attempt to recreate the apk file and try and try to replace it in the system/app folder. Maybe a developer that really *knows* what they are doing could look into this? (Otherwise I would NOT mess with any of these files.)
Similar problem - in both Titanium Backup (when you pull up the filter menu) and when setting file permissions in Root Explorer, there's black text on a black background next to all the check boxes and radio buttons.

This sounds like a very real possibility. Hopefully someone who knows what they are doing will be able to help you out. I would absolutely love a fix for this issue. This is one of my few remaining frustrations with this device.

Same problem here with any number of different apps. I'm using Zeam.
I have a workaround of sorts. Press and hold in the white area to show the text on that line. If you want to choose that option, release. If it's not what you want, then slide your finger up or down and release.
Ain't elegant, but at least I can see the text and decide. Since most "more" menus only contain 3 or 4 items, it's not too difficult.
Hopefully someone will find a real patch for this issue soon.
I thought this was an issue with go launcher; good thing I read this thread and realized it was nook related. There is a app in the android market that makes go launcher menus have a dark background and that's a workaround for now.

I checked the same files on my DroidX, and the same files match the corresponding menus. (It has grey menu bgs and blue selection color, and sure enough, the same .png files match.) Also the popup dial that shows up in Titanium/Root Explorer and others is easily identified as well. (popup_full_dark.9.png and popup_top_dark.9.png)
I was right about not messing with system/framework/framework-res.apk (I wrongly listed it as system/app in my last post). Googling around, it can't be changed in place without creating a boot loop. I did find this script though:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easy-method-to-change-framework-res-apk/
However- modifying and re-zipping the framework-res.apk file has to be done correctly as well (IE: using 7z in 'store' mode) or it still will cause boot loops. Some insight in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225565
In other words: even though I *think* I know something, I'm still not going to try it. Also, I suspect it may be easier just to invert the text colors with modified settings rather than change the theme images.
For anyone with experience modding Android creating/changing themes, all of this should be child's play. For mere mortals, I'm not going near it. I can live with a few blanked out menus for now since the press/hold workaround works.

Both this and the previous thread with the GoLauncherEx with the dark background only fix the problem within the menu accessed from the desktop of golauncherex
It does not address any of the other white on white problems, unfortunately
Glad to find this thread, the white menus is the only problem I'm really having (apart from crashes on certain settings sections) causing any real issues now.
Once somebody can fix this te nook tablet will be great, as it standards it's now a real problem
Same problem with ADW Launcher EX "More" menu and the subsequent ADW Settings screen.
Rooting has made this B&N NT the sweetest tablet. A fix for this "white on white" or "black on black" would be most awesome. Wish I knew how.
I need change this display. Please help me, how i can do this? Xperia Mini

try some launchers
launcher only will "remove" that buble corner from your homescreen, not from dial screen. that you need to install an apps like fullscreencaller or that kind of app.
Good afternoon!
I have exactly the same question. How to remove this ugly picture? It's bugging me for some time. What were the developers thinking when they create such things? For f****s sake it is a 16M color display, with HD support? And to look at this UGLY out of resolution default caller id?
Is there a way maybe to modify framework?

oh, right, my bad
this file should be in framework. but when i searched there is no file like this. must be some translucent png so i didn't found. just find that file and replace it with any same dimensional file or full transparent png
You should install cm7 instead, them you can change both the call screen and the incoming call screen to a couple of different alternatives

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but couldn't find the answer else where.
So, did any one figure out how to remove that useless back ground picture in contacts or replace with a different grahic or something ?
I tried to search for an app (like FullScreenCallerId for Symbian) that does that, but couldn't find one.
Thanks.
All you need to do is change callhandling_contact_picture_default.png in SemcPhone.apk. Either try to do something artistic or do what I did and just make it transparent.
How could I be able to change text color in buttons?
From the image, I tried changing the boxed text from '<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_holo_light</item>', and creating my own drawable xml file to link it with that. Color change seems successful, but it also affects other holo white buttons as well (see image). I don't want it to happen, for it renders those buttons unreadable. Can you help me with this one? :angel: Thanks in advance!
BTW I am currently using Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

cant you just set root explorer to use default device settings?
then use xblast tools from the xposed framework to change default system text colors.
Thanks for the help, but I found a solution. I tried to find a more specific string, and it worked! I was planning to theme this framework, and use it for my first Custom ROM, a clean one without any 3rd party app to change styles. Thanks again!
