speaking of ported themes, i was thinking about trying to port over your OA ics theme to the stock 2.3.4. i really wouldnt know where to start besides the drawable mdpi folder. other than than the xml lines will give me trouble. i just feel like the the 2.3.4 isnt receiving any love from anyone. killah is working on those pretty sweet 2.3.6 themes and you are working on a little something. where is the love?!?!?! lol

Yeah I found that guide before but that's just how to change the color of multiple system font but I'm trying to change the font of one thing specifically. Also their color folder is slightly different from the admire's color folder

Well the xmls aren't to hard to figure out. For it to be as complete as possible you'll have to edit 4 xmls in the drawable folder and just 1 in the values folder

Most colors for anything framework related will be changed via XML edit in framework/values/styles it covers menus to buttons etc. You'll need apktool or equivalent and notepad + or equivalent (obviously have sdk and Java) basic compiling and dexompiling knowledge. There's several tutorials out there just takes practice and patients.
