[Themeing question] changing text color shutdown menu

---

Hi guys. I want to change the light popoup menu to a dark one with white text. (see above)

I'm not quite sure if the information is in in the 'styles.xml' or 'colors.xml' and what lines exactly to edit. Anyone know what .xml to edit and what values to change?

I know how to change the background by editing the 'popup_full_bright.9.png' , but the black text looks terrible on that... so really need to know how to get white text on the light popup menus.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Change these parameters

framework-res\res\layout\select_dialog_item.xml
\select_dialog_multichoice.xml
\select_dialog_singlechoice.xml

android:textColor="@color/primary_text_light_disable_only"

To

android:textColor="@color/primary_text_dark_disable_only"

Then
framework-res/res/layout/global_actions_item.xml
Delete all"Inverse"

These

	<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceSmallInverse" android:id="@id/status" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="26.0dip" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
	<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceLargeInverse" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/message" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon" android:layout_above="@id/status" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" />

To:

	<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceSmall" android:id="@id/status" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="26.0dip" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
	<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceLarge" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/message" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon" android:layout_above="@id/status" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" />

Next

framework-res\res\values\styles.xml

These:

style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownHint" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
		<item name="textSize">14.0sp</item>
		<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
	</style>
	<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownItem" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
		<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_light_disable_only</item>
	</style>

Change to:

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownHint" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
		<item name="textSize">14.0sp</item>
		<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
	</style>
	<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.DropDownItem" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Widget">
		<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_dark_disable_only</item>
	</style>

But still there will be problems with launcher's popup (add widgets and etc.) and I still dont know how to fix it. I think it's somewher into launcher.apk

Hey man did you fix the popup menu text colors problem? I have the same problem I did this: (but change a lot of things, and I don't want that I just want to change popup menus)

In \res\values styles.xml

Change this:

<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>

to this:

<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmall</item>
<item name="textColor">#ffColorThatIWant</item>
