I took a look at the new Android Market and realized that it had a white background instead of a gray one. And thinking about it, I also think that most other applications would look a whole lot better if they had a white background instead of the standard gray one.
Is there any way to change the theme, change the gray background to white?

Haha, could be it. But is there any theme or such which changes the gray to white? And the colour of the text to black?
Yup, go over to the theme forum and you will have plenty of options. But you have to be rooted to apply them otherwise use a home replacement like ahome or dxtop

I took a look in there, but I haven't found any which makes it white yet. All of the themes seem to use the standard gray. Any ideas?
Two options, learn to make your own or ask a theme maker if he could make a white one
Afaik, no one has figured out how to this yet. I've tried quite a bit, and its something many themers and I would like to do. So far, no luck except on Mms.apk.

The new Market I believe has a white background. Expect it soon!
Background colors are chosen by the developer of the particular app.

hi, i just downloaded the classicblack.tsk theme from these boards and love it!
when i highlight on things, tho, it remains blue. any way to make the highlight something else, like silver? (also, the close button "X" remains blue as well, if there is also a fix...)
thanks so much!
http://rapidshare.com/files/82515668/HTC_Themes.rar
Try this one
those themes are grey, not the deep black that is the classic black theme i downloaded here. i just want a way to enhance that theme by making the highlights and the X/Close box not the default blue... thanks anyway, tho!
here is something really weird. now that i switched back to classicblack from the htc ones, my highlight color is now grey. as tho, the classicblack theme always takes the highlight color from the last theme used. (my last theme was blue originally, so that is probably why it was using blue). so, does that mean that after a hard reset, i will have to use the htc theme (or some grey or silver theme) first before using classicblack.tsk in order to get that kind of highlight?
try UI Tweaker,don't ask me where is the right option though
Just got the S7 edge yesterday, everything is going fine except one thing.
I set a black wallpaper to take advantage of this beautiful AMOLED screen.
But when I set it, I get very faint white horizontal bars on top of the screen. It's not that my screen is broken, it's completely black when I see that image in the gallery, but when I set it as a wallpaper, I get the faint white bars. I tried it on the stock launcher as well as Nova & Apex. It's persistent in all the launchers.
I thought it might be because of the "shadow effect" many browsers have, but I turned the shadow off & yet it was there.
Anyone else have this issue? How do I fix it?
Thank you.
Edit:
I'm including 2 screenshots of the home screen. One of them is edited to make the bars more prominent.

It's normal and part of the stock framework and would need editing to remove. Doesn't bother me.
You could use a launcher like Nova and work on the transparency of the notification bar, or use a gesture to hide it entirely. I believe it's done so that you can see the notification bar in a black on black situation.

Won't make a difference, it's not part of the status bar.
I had same issue I tried the material black theme and gone now. Nice theme too

Huh... Weird. That's a bummer. Anyway, hopefully I'll get used to it & not notice it as much.
Thanks.

I downloaded the trial for that theme. Agreed it's a beautiful theme, but it doesn't solve the problem for me.
Yeah, I noticed that too as I actually have the same exact wallpaper haha.

Found a temporary fix.
Setting the wallpaper using KLWP.
It falls under the "live wallpapers", even if you just set a static wallpaper & the white bars don't show up on a live wallpaper.
I want to install a "dark" theme for my S8 Snapdragon that's in the S7 forum. Can I do this on S8 without root (using Package Disabler method)?
If this is possible, will there be any glitches I should be aware of ahead of time? If I can do this, I may never root... well, probably will just to get rid of Samsung-ware.

Use the themes in the theme store under settings. There are dark free ones.

Themes in the "Theme Store" can't change the Messaging app color / text box color, can it? I'm looking for something to give me as much white text on black background as possible in apps / System UI / dialer.
I don't mind paying for a theme in the Theme Store if this can be accomplished.

The "High Contrast Theme" from Samsung has a pure black background with white text in the stock messaging app (for free).

I won't have my S8 until tomorrow - any chance you could point me to screenshots of the Messaging and Settings apps? Or perhaps post them for me if it's not too much trouble
Really appreciate it.

Thanks for that. The white text input box at the bottom is what I was hoping I could make white on black. I've used a few themes around XDA that could do this - like this one I'm currently using on my S6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/theme-samsung-galaxy-s8-t3582967
I bet there is a user made theme that blacks that out as well but I've only tried a few. I'll let you know if I come across one.
EDIT - Hmm it seems like all of the black themes on the Samsung app have the white text box, maybe they don't allow that to be changed on the stock app?
I have been playing around with Textra for messaging and it allows you to customize the look, see attached image. I think you could make those blue accents black as well.

I like that - I think I'll give that a try.
Yeah there are some elements the Samsung Theme Engine won't allow user created themes to change, at least from my understanding. The High Contrast theme and the use of Textra look like good options until we have root.
Thanks again!
Speaking of themes...Does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain black status bar (not transparent) with white text at the top of the screen all the time (without root)?

Definitely with Nova Launcher.
Forgive me if this has already been asked.
Is there a way to change the green in-call background color to another color?
The stock green isn't appealing. All I really want is black.
I ended up using Google dialler. The green is horrible
How to disable stock green dialer and use Google instead?
I have tried everything in the user interface. Does not seem to work. I choose different themes - the platinum and the black one, but then these have wrapped icons which are horrible as well. Any solution welcome.

Settings-Pograms-setup-dafaults-set google dialer as default
you can find a good amount of themes on the Play Store by searching LG G6 theme, many of them have different dialer colors.

I use the black theme. I didn't like the borders around the icons either. I read that is an option in the display settings but I don't have it on mine -- maybe it is dependent on the theme. At any rate I installed Nova so I can be rid of those icon borders.
So if your main objection to the other themes is the icon borders, try an alternative launcher.
Did OP change the way active quick titles look on the Jan update? This looks like garbage and i could of sworn they weren't white before.
I looked through my screenshot since before the January patch and they are black, appear white for me now but I have a dark accent
Setting it to default theme changes it back to black but any custom accent immediately white no matter how bright

If you want to try these, you are more than welcome. These Magisk modules were made to get rid of the pale colors and replace them with more basic colors. And you can pick to either leave the icon colors stock or pick white or black (regardless of light-dark theme). I don't have this phone but these work on my Pixel.
