OK - one more question as I get into the a little more. What is the field to change the balloon colors. I don't mind leaving iMessages blue, but I'd really like to play around with the white field/black text to a black field or dark gray with white text. I might even want to play around with button colors.
In that same info plist there is are the names if the balloons and the buttons. You should look up a hex color chart, then you can play with the TEXT COLORS INSIDE THE button.
However to change the actual colors of the buttons you need to pull the images off your phone, and edit them with a program (like photoshop or GIMP). Then you need to save them and re-inject them back into your phone.
It's actually a lot easier than that all sounds!!!
Especially if you use ifunbox, you can connect your phone, open the file explorer, navigate tithe otter folder, click and drag onto your desktop, then open the file with your graphic imaging program and edit to your hearts content.... When finished drag back into the file explorer and it will automatically overwrite, then you just go to bite, settings, themes, select a different theme, then select bite liquid, then apply theme and see if you are happy with results. If so great! You're done! If not, edit it some more!!!!
For safety reasons you should always keep a "clean" backup of all .png files you are going to work on to make sure you can have the original...
What i do, is once I copy the file into my computer, using ifunbox I rename the .png file i just copies to .pngX
That way the original file is there, but will not get overwritten, or used because it is an unknown Ike extension type!
Good luck theming! Im sure people here will be happy to see your efforts!
So post results!
