Thanks..

sure did, i took the stock framework.res from the rom, made the xml edits then uploaded to uot kitchen for a custom battery and flashed the zip, then wiped. everything changed but the text on my lockscreen is still white, not ics blue. im getting kinda frustrated at this point lol.

Just keep changing lines until something works. That's what the rest of us to to figure it out.

well ive editied the colors.xml, styles.xml and all of the keygaurd.xml's and nothing changes so i guess ill give up. i see you made a theme that changed the lockscreen text to blue, did you change alot of xml's in the process of trial & error?

I actually couldnt get the color of those to change either. I need to go back through to try to find where it is in the code. I'll post back if i find it tonight.

Ok, got it.
First, change
framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml
Line 57
<color name="lockscreen_clock_foreground">#ffffffff</color>
Change the ffffffff to ff33b5e5 for ICS blue.
Then change
framework-res.apk/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
Starting at Line 7 you will see the following
<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceMedium" android:textSize="@dimen/moto_keyguard_lockscreen_clock_font_size" android:typeface="sans" android:textColor="?textColorPrimary" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/timeDisplayForeground" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:layout_alignTop="@id/timeDisplayBackground" android:typefaceFileName="Chulho_Neue.ttf" />
Change "?textColorPrimary" to "@color/lockscreen_clock_foreground"

thanks but after screwing with it all day i finally changed everything to ics blue.
followed these two guides:
use the figure on the left hand side to change the text to ics blue, use notepad+ to edit.
im pretty proud of myself as i was about to give up, did alot of google searching today.

You did what is shown above, just a different way. That is fine, but be careful changing from @color to a plain hex value. That does not always work out properly, and you may have trouble with apk's compiling, or even working correctly later. I always try match whatever is there, whether it is a hex value, or something pointing to another xml.

I actually prefer to change it to a hex value... or better yet adding an @color if need be. Say for reference if you change the color @white you could end up with some strange results. As in a blue background to twitter! ;-) lol
