So yeah, pretty much what the title says. I just cant figure out what file I need to edit to change the text color underneath "Wifi", "Bluetooth" etc. Here's what it looks like so far. 2013-02-22-22-38-06.jpg

Wow looks great I'm personally not a fan of green but looks great keep up the good work. I'm sure someone in here can help you.
 
Please do! If you want, you can add the future color schemes to your Motion app and/or Collab Rom so the users can change themes as they please. I still need to find the files for that glow effect, but once i do, other colors should come along much quicker. Dont hold me to that though as im now working 3 jobs, have a baby and am sick. But i AM still looking into it, pinky promise.

I've actually been working on a simple black and white theme. But I also ran into the text color problem...

If i remember correctly, it should be in the res/values/drawables.xml. I think it says quicksettings button text pressed followed by the light blue color code.

Edit: If you figure out where the glow effect file or code is, let me know. That last part is being a PITA to find.
 
Samson, what are you using for theming? I'm using apktool, GIMP, and Pinta to theme, and when I build the apk with "apktool b SystemUI SystemUI.apk" then copy it to /system/app to test it, I get a black background and no status bar... :/ Any help would be great!

hmmm... I use APK Multi Tool, GIMP, Notepad++. I read you were making a CM themed status bar and notification drawer. My advice would be that any images you use from the CM SystemUI.apk need to be resized to the same dimentions as the images that you're replacing. Then overwrite or export the new image to the appropriate image in our SystemUI.apk. Example: if you use the Wifi toggle image from CM and it's 80 x 80 pix & our Wifi toggle image is 50 x 50 pix, then the CM one needs to be resized and exported to OUR Wifi toggle image file.

The only other advice i can think of right now would be that if you keep running into a wall then edit one or two files at a time, recompile, test, adb pull, decompile again, wash, rinse, repeat. It's time consuming(trust me, i know) but it works and helps me figure out where i'm having problems.
