Default [Q] Theming JVB

I've been theming small aspects of JVB, specifically Perception II. I've tried to theme the background of the music controls inside the status bar drawer. On Froyo ROMs, I could just throw a modified png into the zip. Now, I do that and it's still purple. I even decompiled and recomplied with the new pngs, but it doesn't work. Any ideas on what to do? I attached the modded files below. Thanks!

Are you replacing the ones in twframework-res.apk?

Of course. I opened them in Photoshop and edited and put them back into twframework. Thing is, I've done this before very successfully modifying themes on Froyo.

Yeah, that's weird.. changing the png's doesn't seem to affect what actually shows up. Makes you wonder if it's grabbing them from somewhere else entirely..

Edit: I was right! Check out /system/app/MusicPlayer.apk, it has it's own set of status bar png's. I haven't tried replacing them myself yet, but I have a strong feeling that those are the ones you should be changing as opposed to the ones in twframework-res.apk. Samsung seems to enjoy scattering their graphics around.. there are also a couple pertinent to the status bar and dropdown shade in SystemUI.apk and Phone.apk.


Good luck, dude! Let me know if those were the correct ones!

Is SystemUI.apk new to Gingerbread? I'll look into it.
God THANK YOU, that's an amazing find and so useful to me! I am SO GRATEFUL. Damn, Samsung isn't the most efficient company of coders. Putting lockscreen music control backgrounds in framework-res and status bar ones in music apk? Wow.

SystemUI.apk handles all the notification bar/dropdown stuff and all of those images are used instead of what's in twframework-res.apk now (GB).

The background and buttons for the dropdown are in MusicPlayer.apk though. Crazy.

So apparently the toggle PNGs in SystemUI.apk are locked, so they cannot be edited in Photoshop and lose their transparency. Sucks....

Yeah, kinda sucks. I grabbed a screenshot of Explorer with large thumbnails, copied each one and inverted them so they're smoothed to black background, made black transparent, then changed the color. It works out ok I guess.
