Has anybody had any success in changing the horrible default black navbar in Android? No matter what tweeks I do to the code or changes I make in the BT CP it always appears black :(

I have sen many threads regarding this,many of them succesull,but i could never tryed it..following

@MgoBlue gave me a tip several months back he got it working by modifying the act_title.xml file, seemed a simple mod but it never worked for me. I was hoping that over the few past months others would have been wanting to achieve similar. The black nav bar and text makes my app look real ugly and amature

Ya mine too i will try to add a picture there to just have to find the xml file.

res > layout > act_title.xml

The easiest way to change the navbar background is to replace the default image with another image of your choice. Yes, the bt navbar is nothing but an image. Its in the drawable folder with name - bt_bg_title or something like that.

will try now thanks, I take it the nav bar title text will still be displayed? How do I make this hidden?

keep the screen title field blank in bt control panel or remove the reference of android text from xml layout file and see...

on Self Hosted the image name for the Android titlebar is hardcoded into the BT_viewUtilities Look @ line 107 You can overwrite the file name there or use your own The default is just a 10x35 grey png file that tiles. you can replace that file, rename it or make your own. You can change the size of that titlebar if you use a bigger image or tinker with the xml file. Lots of options to dress it up.

excellent thanks, what are the optimal dimensions for the titlebar image? I have modified with a custom image but seems to stretch the image to fit, this concerns me as each varying screen size will re-size image automatically and make the nav bar ugly.

Agree. Ugly. There's also an option in the control panel to hide the nav bar..

Isn't there a way via some sort of coding that says: "overlay the navBar with this image" ? Therefore i could end up with a transparent background PNG logo in the middle of the navbar? I use BT selfhosted

this started for changing text and ended up with using an image, anyone know how to change the text color, and maybe center it? bt v3 self
