I haven't looked into the systemui much but i can tell you that the text color would require xml edits (certain roms do have the ability to change them in the rom settings though and the "blue line" you refer to, on GB was, I believe an image.. horizontal_divider.png or something similar. A lot has changed now though with ICS.. meaning, more controlled thru hex edits in the values xml's. Ill be in there tonight though giving transparency another go.. ill look for the dividers for you.

Check out my new mms icon. I'm digging that I learned this. I can finally make my phone the way I want it. Now just need to learn to decompile apks so I can edit .XML and what not

Nice. But be careful, this can be addicting.

I noticed that. I can't seem to stop editing things lol. Btw why do my screenshots always show up so pixelated on here?

I think its just the way the site attaches pictures. I use photobucket or imgur from the market to post pictures. If you use those, use the "img" option to post them.

OK cool thanks again. One more question. I'm trying to edit my phone.APk. I found the pic of the phone and edited it to my liking. When pushed back to my phone there is no change. So I took telephony provider.apk and edited that pic as well. Still nothing. What am I missing?

I'm not around my PC to check, but look in the contacts app. That's the only other place I can think of.

you are my hero sir. that was exactly it. didnt remember i flashed a darker version of contacts though so i lost my black theme. but i think i could just grab that zip pull the contacts.apk and replace it with my new image correct? and i should keep my dark contacts with my new yellow phone icon.
