Modifying Text Color In Options Menu

---

At the bottom of the image where it says 'add', 'wallpaper', 'settings'...etc
I am wanting to know how to edit that text color or if anyone knows what xml its located in. I tried searching but keep coming up empty so if anyone knows how to change the color of it please let me know.

I don't really know, where did you searched. I have unpacked framework-res.apk, looked into res/layout dir and voila: menu_item.xml .

Seems this isn't possible to do at app level - only globally.

Hi,

i got the "menu_item.xml" file but inside there are no colors defined. I searched the other places but i don´t really understand such a complex theme-system. Can somebody help und point me to the right place?

Thanks in advance.

I too am looking to make similar edits. However, finding the font colors for all the system variables is confusing, and hard to search for. I want to change the font colour in the Settings app/menu area.

Ok, I had a look ...and changed the color...not that I wanted to have it red it´s only to proof it...

Can you please share the name of the file you´ve edited to change those colors?

maybe...

No, if you change one of colors.xml, you probably change other stuff too...
If I remember right, it's in drawables or styles... something like "itemMenu"
