Theming Guide for changing system text settings.

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.

That .xml will change the text color of the shortcut lines that pop up on some of the sub menus. The one he is looking for is in styles.xml

<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>
<item name="background">@null</item>
<item name="itemTextAppearance">?textAppearanceLargeInverse</item>

Change the section in red with one of the ways he has listed above.
 
I dont know how you did it, but try to have it point to colors instead of inputting the hex number. Might help.

Hi guys, I need some help theming the Vending.apk app. I'm trying to change the text color on the market tabs, but I can't find the XML file that holds this. Also, I'm trying to change the background where the apps are displayed, but it doesn't look like this is an image so I'm guessing it's also housed in an XML file. Again, I can't find this file either.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to these files? Thanks in advance!
 
Without pulling it open, the backgrounds are usually in the res/values/drawables folder.

Unfortunately, at the moment, when you change a decompiled xml in vending the apps install but vending immediately fc's. We are looking into this. I have vending completely themed, but it fc's once a downloaded app installs. The apps work fine, but kinda annoying.

Yeah, I'm definitely having the same problem with FC's. The only file I was able to theme was the styles.xml background. But once I try to theme the text in the header's, etc. I get a ton of FC's. Very, very annoying.

Are you guys typing in the hex numbers or point them to colors.xml?

I haven't tried it, but it may make the difference.

I've tried it both wayways with the same results.
 
To invert the vending.zpk you go to styles.xml. Change Theme.Light to Theme.Black. This will do most of the invert for you. Then there is about two other xmls that need to be changed to correct the headers. Like Stratt and others have seen. When you edit the xmls if fc on install and uninstalls. Only thing I haven't tried yet is to modify the xmls in hex instead of decompiling them.
