[GUIDE] How To Theme Your Xoom

[Bazar6]

Yea when I hear white this is the color that comes up... I definitely want to do a steel grey tho, probably going go the be the next "StockTheme" I'll put out there... I'm gonna start working on an theme that has some actual personality behind it too, i.e. nothing to do with stock images. That will take longer tho.

And thanks Steady!

Is it possible to mod the taskbar clock to be the same color as the taskbar so it is "invisible". I don't want to remove it, but just hide it.

Yea you can do that. It's in a XML inside the SystemUI, if you want me to I can mod it real quick for ya. Or if you want to wait til I make the XML post so you're able to do it yourself that's cool too. I believe the bottom clock is in systemui.apk/res/layout-xlarge/status_bar_notification_area.xml (that'll actually be what I guide you thru in the post since it's the first thing everyone wanted changed.)

Post #2 updated with the guide for .9.png's. Hopefully I'll be able to post up #3 tomorrow for XML edits.

Awesome thread!
I'm completely new to all this and I would very much like to learn the developmental side of this absurdly amazing device/OS. In regards When I attempt to transfering the SystemUI.apk., or any apk for that matter, from my Xoom to my computer and I can't see it. Therefore I can't drop it in Modding file.
Is there something I need to do?

I'm confused by "you can't see it" .. you can't see it on your Xoom. Or you can't see it on your computer? If its absolutely on your Xoom, where did you put it that your not seeing it on the computer?

Thank you for this thread. I am about to start molding icons soon. I want my own UI.

Sorry, I copied the systemui.apk from system/apps to the RootStock folder I made on my External SD card. I plug in the Xoom to my laptop (Vista) I copy the rootstock folder containing the apk over to the StockTheme and MyTheme folders but when I open the file to find the apk its empty.
