It's still not done, if anyone could help me figure out how to change the font color to blue, that would be awesome!

which font color are you looking to change? the time, date or quick settings buttons? the status bar's clock color is in the 4th cluster in the \res\values\styles.xml. the date is right underneath the clock. look for these lines:

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff5dcde6</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff5dcde6</item>

the files you're looking for are located inside the "/res/values" and/or "/res/layout" dierctories of the decompiled app you're working with. For SystemUI.apk, go to /res/values and open up the "colors" and "styles" xml's with something like Notepad++.

once you open these xml's, look for the lines of code that I and Angablade posted. there should be some text that says something like: android:textColor=#ff000000. look at our posts for exact code.

changing all the text color system wide is not a quick and easy thing. it will take some time as almost all text color is defined in a few locations; colors.xml and styles.xml being only 2 places. just give it some time and keep at it. I cant count how many errors i've had recompiling or how many times i had to edit xml's in our messaging app just to get to look the way i got it to.
