I am on USSr v7 and the system default background for apps is the current wallpaper I have set, so I have difficulty reading white text on a bright background. For example, in my files the background is my current wallpaper. So how do I make the background black without changing my wallpaper?

Is there anyway I can change the look of my status bar without an entire theme? I'd also like to change my notifications menu and all apps screens but I care more about the status bar I'm on virtuous 3.0.1

You have to open up framework-res.apk, look for a file named something like framework/drawable-hdpi/status-background.png (not the exact name, but its similar), edit it using photoshop to make it transparent (create a new layer, delete original layer, fill it with some color, and change opacity to some %), then put this new png back into the apk using 7zip.
Push it back into your phone using adb or create an update.zip using the tool found somewhere in this forum.
Hi, I find the Arc's calendar app very difficult to read with the white text on dark blue background.
Anybody found a way to modify that "theme" or reskin the calendar app?
I've been thinking of editing the xml layout files in the calendar apk (my device is rooted) but thought I'd ask first before starting...
thanks
erwan
if you change the system background (there's a thread on here for it) it will be reflected in the calendar, and the calculator.. amongst other things!

I guess we could indeed do that but that would not change the text color (currently white or light gray) and might be impossible to read of a different background.
we need to be able to fully skin the Calendar app or replace it with the stock Android one.
Does anyone know of a way to change the font color of the lockscreen text? Or is that something attached to the theme chooser theme?
Never thought about it until today when I changed my background and all my text was unreadable.

You have to decompile the framework and edit some xmls... The hard part is setting up the tools needed to accomplish this. It can be pretty tricky if starting from scratch. In saying that I have a metamorph for my theme that changes the all text color including the lockscreen to blue. I have a red one but it's not separate like the blue version is. You can find a link to my theme in my signature. Let me know what you are looking for exactly?

Thanks for the info Smokem. I was hoping there was a quick way to change the lockscreen font color without using metamorphs or anything like that. I wanted some quick way to change it up on the fly while I was picking out new backgrounds for it. If it's more work than just clicking a few buttons or going through a color wheel then it's not what I was looking for lol.
Thanks anyways though =)
Well I understand what your asking for and if it existed I'd definitely recommend it lol. In all actuality metamorph is the easiest way to accomplish what you want. It can be as easy as a couple clicks . Just sayin...

Themer is your problem.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
It's just a different Lockscreen wallpaper.
In themer most themes (if not all of them) does not modify your lockscreen wallpaper, giving the heavy customization that comes to your homescreen.
Although there is a trick to overcome this issue:
Using a file explorer go to sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/MyThemes/(folder with a long number)
Open Wall0.png using gallery app
Choose from the menu Set Picture as wallpaper
You should now have the same wallpaper as your homescreen.
Note that for some themes, the wallpaper doesn't always have a the same ratio, so it won't look good on your Lockscreen
I noticed that some Samsung apps have dark background instead of black. E.g. Settings, Messages, Phone ... have dark background and My Files, Calculator, Notes have black. Is it a bug of One UI 1.1 ?
When I had Note 9 with One UI 1.0 every Samsung app has black background in Night mode I think.

Are you sure that you are talking about "main" background ? A content in all apps has grey/dark background in rounded square/rectangle and the "main" background in all Samsung apps should have black color.
A problem in some apps as I wrote is that "main" background is not solid black (it looks like a gradient dark-black).
