Is there a way to change the stock email program (the list of message part - not the messages themselves as those are fine) from white text on a black background to either the reverse, or some other color combination? I'm finding that, depending on the lighting, it is rather difficult to easily identify read messages from unread messages. If there is no way to change the color combo, perhaps there is a better way to highlight unread messages? Thanks....

From what I can remember, you can change the white background to a yellow-ish background to make it easier to read. Not sure about white on black though.
The white to yellow background is only if you are reading a specific email. There is no way I can find to change the colors of the list of emails. You'll have to probably wait for custom ROM, unless rooting can provide a workaround. I know there are other email apps floating around for other Galaxy devices, but I haven't messed with my Fascinate yet because I'm waiting for a sure fire backup/restore method.

Hi, I searched the threads and google and saw that someone asked if they could change the flashing green light for a text, email, etc...to like purple or red or any other color. Is there a way to do this? For AIM i changed incoming messages to blink purple, but how about for sms, email, etc... thanks!
you can either download chompsms in the market and change ur sms LED settings there (note that the led change will work only for chompsms)
or
download missed call and change your sms LED settings there.
For SMS messages, you can also download the latest apk mod from rgv151
For more info, check out this thread.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to make the standard notification colour change, but there are lots of apps out there that allow to switch off the standard notifications and replace them with an app-based notification of your choice.
For example, SMSPopup and Missed call allow you to replace the LED colour to one of your choice (from pre-defined colours) as well as change the frequency of the flashes, and also the type of vibration (e.g. long vibrations, short vibrations or combinations thereof)
I recommend SMSPopup as it will also wake up your screen and display the text message, like the majority of phones do as standard.
thanks for the info.
Hi, I really don't like the look of the text message threads the way it comes on the Tilt 2 (you know, the white background with a green underlined From text & then the message text)... and I've seen other phones that make them look a lot nicer with 3D-ish boxes around each message & alternating colors between messages & so forth....
Does anyone know of any Mods, Hacks, Tweaks, Cabs, Custom Settings, that you can either edit the way it looks yourself or download a pre-made custom look for the text messages & text message threads? What would be even cooler would be if beside each text it would have a little picture of the person if you had one associated with that number in the stored Contacts. Thanks!!!
I'm sure someone's had to have seen/found something out there about this. If I just missed a previous discussion on it, would someone mind posting a link to that thread? Thanks!
I'm using a pink/purple wallpaper and I want to change the notification number on the Messages and Mail apps from green to pink. The number that shows up on the icon to tell you how many unread messages/emails you have. Is there an easy way to do this without changing the entire theme?
I have my background set to white on my mail (as I did on my gs2) but its nearly impossible to spot unread mail. Anyone else having this issue or have a solution (aside from white text on black!)?
I have a solution, change your background color.
No, seriously, I'm aware of differences in preference, but white is a battery-killer color for AMOLED screens. You'll thank me.
One of the Jelly Bean phone, Android version 4.2.2, behaves strangely as follows:
The hyperlinks (URL, phone numbers etc.) is normal blue in Browser, Messaging, Email, even Gmail.
But they are white on white, hence invisible in WhatsApp and BBM for Android.
It is also white in ColorNote, but we can change the background e.g., to be gray, thus make it white on gray that is visible.
What could have been wrong? What can I do to change the hyperlink font color in those applications? It must be a setting for the attribute of the hyperlinks, right? But where? It is also weird, that the links are normal (blue) in Browser, Messaging, Email and Gmail.
Hope the Android experts out there could give me a hint or tweak needed to fix that situation, which will be highly appreciated.
