Default PopUp menus & other areas that need tweaked...

I have been searching for HOURS the last couple days to find the answer to this and have yet to solve these issues. I appologize if this is the inappropriate place for this, but it seemed right......


This is part of the settings menu(obviously) but I can't find out how to edit the text here that is black!! I want to invert the settings menu but I have only made framework edits(I HAVE LOOKED and have found no good tutorial on this...) If anything, how do I make the text black? Id rather it be white text on black bg.
Edit: Thanks xKape!!!!
Finally got the settings inverted. Decompile. Edit manifest to theme.dark and edit the res/layout/manageapplications and manageapplicationsitems xmls and add android:textColor="#ffffffff" after each of the text appearance areas and add android:background="#ff000000" to the orientation & frame lines.



In this menu, I need to make the text white here and can't find the solution.



In the buttons on the bottom, I want to make that text white, but can't figure it out.
EDIT: Styles.xml search for Widget.Button and edit the text there and search <style name="TextAppearance.Widget.Button" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small.Inverse">
<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_dark</item>
Make <item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_dark</item>


As you can see in the market history(as well as the suggestions) I get white text on white. Idc how to fix this, but id like to see white text on black bg but it doesn't really matter.


This is the "more" menu for apps. I need white text here.
EDIT:Fixed (ill look for the change I made and tell)


again, the settings menu, I'd like to see this inverted, but at least black text would suffice. I want the menus to black bg with white text.
Edit:
Read the first picture for the edits. Thanks xKape!!!


I have scoured 8 different forums and tutorials with no luck and none of the tutorials covered the areas I need help with. Would someone please point me to a sufficient tutorial or help me make these edits. I have been trying for the last 10 hours trying to get this fix'd, next to the week or so of researching and testing throughout with no luck.

Thanks

for settings.apk edit the manifest t be theme.black. that will take care of all of it except the manage applications section. for that, there are two xmls in the layout folder that you need to add the background and text color code. android:background="#ff000000" and android:textColor="#ffffffff"

For the others, i dont have much experience but, i will tell you this.. if you are trying to black out your rom, i would really look at the framework and go into colors.xml and find the black calls and make them white. what i would probably do as a test is, lets say i was chaning 5 colors in there.. i would make a note and change one to pink, purple, yellow, red and green. then i would install it and figure out what went to what color and then go back and change accordingly with that knowledge.

Thank you xkape! That was the major issue. The framework edits are going to be rough going through because I have looked at everything and can't find the right edits. I thought bout doing the random color edits and note what was what. I'll prob do that after a couple more edits and release of the update.
