Theming Guide for changing system text settings.

If you're using Cuttalot's theme and trying to compile his, you are going to get the errors.

What you should do is get a vanilla apk, make all your changes, then add the images. This is what has worked for me.

im working on a theme now and cant seem to find where the information for the sub menu text color is....(ie. if you go to browser then press menu then press more the text in there?)

Any time you press the soft menu key the text is part of this.


Next is the menu text (when you hit he soft key for menu)


Do ctrl + f and put in TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item and click find next.
You should now be at this area

Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
</style>
Change textColorPrimaryInverse (black) to textColorPrimary (white and then black when pressed)
Also you could delete the whole ?textColorPrimary and just put #ffff00ae as an example for the color code you desire.
If that is all you need save and look down for the completing instructions.

Its not the soft menu font color

The easiest way to explain what im referring to is to open up the browser press menu and then press more and a submenu pops up this is the text im referring to

 

[thebowers]

Yes, I understand what you are saying. That is all apart of what I posted.

 

[buzyahazz]

Thats not it I have the text changed for that already. Ill post a screenshot later.

 

[thebowers]

This is what you are referring to.

 

[buzyahazz]

Yes that is what I'm referring to, but mine don't seem to change here is a pic, when I press menu that text has changed, but the text we are discussing does not

 

[buzyahazz]

Here is a pic of the menu, just showing that the text changed here

After getting home and looking at things it maybe in this xml. I say maybe cause I have change a lot of things. Look in /res/layout for list_menu_item_layout.xml. Either add a static color code, delete the inverse wording or point to a custom color in colors.xml. I believe this is the one that controls the sub-menu.
