Root HELP! Context (long-press) Menu Text Color

Long-Press Menu Text Color (not the Menu Button "bottom popup menu")

i'm having a hell of a time finding the necessary XML edits to change the text color of context (long-press) menus and i have edited possibly every text appearance/color attribute of the framework in the styles.xml and a few other XML's in the /layout folder and i still can't get it. There seems to be no info at any forums about this specifically (searched forever).
Any thoughts? This is quite frustrating.

18 hours of making changes to framework; 100+ flashes to phone; still no results. Please Help!

This is not the final answer but it will point you in the direction. Here's the parent control that will affect a lot of text. You can then narrow it down to whichever child style that you only want it to affect--unless of course, you don't mind all of that text to be affected.

In framework-res.apk open styles.xml in \res\values in a text editor.

Look for the style

<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>

Add the line
<item name="textColor">#ffff0000</item>

where #ffff0000 is any color that you want, in this example it is red, or use the color variables such as "?primaryinverse", etc.

to this so that it now looks like:

<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
<item name="textColor">#ffff0000</item>
</style>

This will result in these types of looks:

You could also change the. 9.pngs for the pop-up menu! But I'd say you want those black lol!
