So, I tried doing SuperUser mod for my phone to use this theme but it doesn't seem to be working, I followed DavidMKD's guide, tried using one from a custom rom and Serajr Xposed module but doesn't seem to work. Is there any other file that has to be modified in the new Android KitKat to get it working?

Did you activate the superuser mode in Serajr's Xposed module?

Edit : Just tested some of the newly released themes on the play store and they don't change pngs too, only wallpaper and lockscreen wallpaper.
