Looking for some of the suggestion icons. I know that there are more but for now I'm looking for the mic and body.

The running man is in Play Services and I believe the mic is in the Google App

Does it work if you reference the string with

android:format24Hour="@*com.android.systemui/string:status_bar_clock_24hr_format"

Maybe some of the 'pro' themers can suggest alternatives ?

I've found a string that works with a clock.
Now I need help with something else: If I theme status_bar.xml with type2 or type3 then any type1 options I do have no effect. For example the clock colour will only change if it's in type2 or 3 but not when it's in type1. Is there any fix for this?

From our very own @nicholaschum this is a useful guide:

@The Flash, maybe we can have a useful index of links in the op.

Done

We'll need to see your code, otherwise any solution would be a guess.

Pedantic is fine if it's a correction ?

I'll stick to replying from a PC in future...

I've uploaded my code onto github. The type1 aren't affecting the clock from type2 or type 3

let's go

 

[aldiandrew]

let's go

solved, thanks a lot sir !

so add folder layout on com.android.settings/res/values

inside folder you must copy dashboard_tile.xml from your decompile settings apk.

open the file and change the code like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@*com.android.settings:id/dashboard_tile" android:background="@*com.android.settings:drawable/selectable_card" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_minimum_height"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <ImageView android:id="@android:id/icon" android:layout_width="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_image_size" android:layout_height="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_image_size" android:scaleType="centerInside" android:layout_marginStart="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_image_margin_start" android:layout_marginEnd="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_image_margin_end" />
    <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView android:textAppearance="@*com.android.settings:style/TextAppearance.Small" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:id="@android:id/title" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" />
        <TextView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small" android:textColor="@*android:color/accent_material_dark" android:ellipsize="end" android:id="@android:id/summary" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxLines="1" android:paddingEnd="@*com.android.settings:dimen/dashboard_tile_image_margin_start" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

when you compare the code you can see the different (use notepad compare plugin) from my code i change android:textColor=?android:textColorSecondary become android:textColor="@*android:color/accent_material_dark"

if you done, save it. Now open your settings style.xml and add this code

    <style name="TextAppearance.Small" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Small">
        <item name="android:textColor">@*android:color/primary_text_default_material_dark</item>
        <item name="android:textColorHighlight">@*android:color/accent_material_dark</item>
        <item name="android:textColorHint">@*android:color/micro_text_light</item>
        <item name="android:textColorLink">@*android:color/micro_text_light</item>
    </style>

hope this is not wrong code because i tried so many change today lol

If i uninstall substratum theme engine after applying an overlay, will the themes get reverted to original?

If substratum required to be installed always? Or apply theme and uninstall...?

1. This isn't the thread for that question.
2. If you had gone to the right thread and searched "icon pack", you'd see that yes, it's in the pipeline but there are more pressing matters to attend to before that.

Yes it's a vector xml in systemui. Can't remember the name off hand but it's had a very small path data.

I'm subscribed with instant mail notification to this thread. I encourage anyone willing to start theming to follow the guides mentioned in OP.

I've literally seen with my own eyes a Substratum theme user that is now a developer for that same theme just because of these guides found in OP.

Let's support anyone needing help!

Hello, so I have a question about theming Google Calculator. How do you change color of "mode" indicator and that three-dot icon on the other side (see screenshot)? I have bunch of themes where they have managed to customize those on stock (not theme ready) gapps. Only thing i have found yet is that "mode indicator" is declared as TextView in toolbar.xml and has no color atributte, maybe I could add one somehow?
