I was just wondering if you take requests ...I really like this mod its so badass but I also like a lil I was wondering if you can do the full black background with the blue glow outline around the frame like on the HUE theme under themes and apps

Someone did all the work of decompiling, reworking, and recompiling the background_holo_dark.xml for me? NICE

All I want is the settings background so I removed the system/app folder, removed everything from system/framework/res except for drawable and nodpi, and replaced the .png in nodpi with my own background image.

Currently creating a nandroid before I flash it and see if it works :D

So after doing everything listed above, I have a black settings background instead of the .png I added to /nodpi (using v10.5)

Anyone know why this is? I'm almost certain it has to do with the background_holo_dark.xml file

I can live with the all black. It's MUCH better than the stock gradient. However, I'd love to use my own image. It was so easy to do with with 4.2.2 and below but with 4.3 we need to decompile the XML file.. I tried doing it once and just kept getting FC's haha

I don't mind decompiling it myself if someone wants to tell me what I need to change to get the image to show?

Okay so I decompiled it and the XML reads

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/black" />
</shape>
What do I need to change in order to have the PNG in /drawable-nodpi show up? I take it I'd have to remove the <solid android:color.....> line and replace it with something directing to the PNG but I have no idea what it would be..

<image android:source="@drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png" /> obviously that's not it but I'm guessing it's something like that
