This is just a test from my messing around with the theme files from my earlier thread. It is mostly miui v4 but with a black status bar and black fade launcher theme.The biggest change is a vertical battery from light coloured business version miui theme and I have made white coloured ICS icons from Galnet Miui theme and different desktop dots. It also uses a galaxy S style unlock screen and Ubuntu fonts.
Still cant get previews working for theme manager and it is apparently in the old format or so my phone tells me, so it has to convert first. Any help here would be good.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a way to make the holo dark and light app backgrounds slightly translucent.
What I mean by that is that apps that now have holo dark or light theme get a translucent background so that you can see your homescreen background slightly lighter or darker (depending on the used theme).
A few days ago I had installed a custom kernel which installed an app called 'synapse', in this app's settings there where 3 theme's: dark, light and translucent. I liked the translucent so much that I wanted it on all my apps. Thats why I'm asking for this.
I've already tried to imitate it with some xposed modules that allowed me to customize the holo dark and light backgrounds, but I couldn't get what I wanted
I really hope someone knows a way to make this work.
Hi,
I have the XT1625 (G4) rooted and running stock. All the action appears to be in the G4 Plus forums, so I'm posting here. Anyway, I'm not a fan of the MM theme (white bg with the putrid green accent/settings icons). I would love to change to a dark theme/background and change the accent color to something aesthetically pleasing. I've tried using both Layers and Substratum, but have only had varying degrees of success. Using Deity in both Layers & Substratum is a fail. I select red for my accent and/or primary colors but still get a blue theme. Inversion works for the most part but notifications are not readable due to black on black...plus it retains the purtrid green accents. I believe both themes also have problems in Contacts with black on black. I'm currently using Pigment in Layers. It kind of does what I want but not totally.
I have decompiled apps for other phones and been able to change some themes/colors, but am not sure which xml/value(s) to modify for the G4. My priorities are to change the green accent, and then, if possible, invert the white to black. I've looked into creating a Substratum theme but feel over-whelmed by the process atm. If I can do this simply by modding system apps that would be great!
Thanks,
I have learned the putrid green color I do not like is actually "Teal"...silly me.
I attempted to create a Substratum theme following this guide, but it is too complex (for me, at least). However, I have decompiled my framework, settings, and SystemUI and attempted to theme them according to this guide. I have successfully changed the putrid "teal" to a nicer red. Unfortunately, my background is still white although I have edited the apps to have a dark background. For some reason the change is not taking effect. Also, my expanded header color is not changing either.
Any suggestions?

U need to run a ROM compatible for substratum as stock currently is not. Thus the reason why you are not getting what u want

Thanks for the (late) replies everyone. Since I originally posted in December I have already learned the limitations of stock ROMs and Substratum.
I have also moved on to Lineage OMS 14.1 and am able to theme to my heart's content...I'm good to go!
Hi,
A few weeks ago I've started to get white text over white background in the chome's search bar. I've left it that way since search sentences are short. But today it started to happen in whatsapp (after a whatsapp update)
I use dark/black themes. I've tried to apply different themes, even downloaded a new ones, but it happens the same. It seems new themes doesn't apply to the chat window. After a first change (and reboot) the dark backgroud of the chat window was gone (the dark background of the conversation list is dark), and no matter what theme is chosen, no dark background is applied. With some themes I see "normal" colored background (with white letters over white background) and with others I see also the "normal" background but with dark letters.
I don't know if it's importat, but a while ago I noticed my phone wasn't rooted anymore. I left it that way since I'm not needing rooting much.
cyanogenmod's version 13.0.20161220-UNOFFICIAL-trader418-hlte

Thank you very much!
Has anyone found a way to customize the messages app? I'd like to be to a darker color but can't seem to find a way.
I was looking for this too. The closest I could find was just dark mode in the drop down notification shade.
Use synergy and substratum lite, i like liv dark theme, theres a variety of background colours and accents to use. Most of the Google Apps are themed.
