Ok so lots of heated opinions about the default Oxygen theme and I don't want that to detract from the main ROM, after all I just do pretty pictures (or not so pretty lol).
I've also decided to turn this into something positive and in the spirit of community development open up the floor for discussion.
So what would people like to see changed in the theme?
Really like the theme, maybe a little more green than lime

Can it be possible to make it so that the user can change the color through the UI?
Wanted to change the orange highlights and rollovers in OD to blue but not sure how.
Wrong section, this should be in desire general, themes and apps its just for what it says not discussion threads

First of all, thanks for your work on the theme for this great rom.
As this is all about personal preferences, I would prefer the following...
1) maintain the exact same color for each icon
2) going back to the original oxygen blue would be more attractive
3) a black notification bar
I imagine that those of us who are attracted to AOSP type roms would also prefer simple elegance as opposed to bright and flashy.
Change wallpaper in each home
Good day as will all?
The theme is very good ... I least liked what I saw!
But I have a problem that I don't know if it would be possible to solve!
I currently use 2 launchers ... the ZEAM and update Gefrost 60 g (Emuphirus) that mimics the launcher Galaxy S ... anyway ...
But if you change the wallpaper of a laucher when dumb to another change that I made before the current in the launcher applies!
Wish I could have 2 different homes in each launcher, each one with your wallpaper ... issopode opinion tosco, but is something that I would love that could do to further improve the theme!
This would be possible?
Thank you..and congratulations for the beautiful initiative a unique moving trhread discussion on the topic here!
I would like to share my opinion.
I liked your theme it was nice but i didnt use it. Simply because my wallpaper didnt match it. When you use colors (lets say that light green is quite aggressive color) in theme they look good only when they match wallpaper and wallpaper is something everyone got different. So the safest option and the one that looks great with almost all backgrounds is black or white or any color of grey.
Thats why with OD, greatest popularity had simple black bar or as it was for me the stock white option.
I would love to see your icons in grey on white notification bar, custom lock-screen that would match notification bar colors and dock for luncher also in same taste.
So in my opinion you should focus on those neutral colors that would appeal to more people and then add some colors to it just barely, to hit that sweet spot between flashy and too simple.
Mix of ClassicalGas (flat) and BlueFrost, in white would be that spot for me.
I love the default theme, and the add-on theme. Very fresh, and isn't that what this project is about? You have my vote, and loyalty.

Hmm I would prefer something similar to what CM did with his ROM, with just a simple .xml file to edit to change the colours. I want to flash over a white notification bar, but the clock got stuck at whitish, so I had to flash a black one. Anyone else knows how to change it (easily)? Without modifying files dangerously?
I'm quite sattisfied with the green (lime) theme, I just exchanged the header and footer in the drawer (I took them from the Elegant Steel theme ) and now it's really ok for me.
I'm going to change the orange highlight color to green / lime, too. Then there will nothing be left to complain for me nice theme by the way!!
I think the green need to be the same green all throughout. For my tastes there is currently too many different shades of greens and greys.
I like this theme. Not bad. I also agree with people who support that a stripped down rom should have the option to flash/change a theme instead of forcing it.
The only thing I do not like very much with the theme are the G/E/H icons. Not very visible. I would prefer something more colorful, or the most common arrows used than a letter that is half blinking.
Sorry for not contributing with any constructive criticism, but wanted to thank you for your hard work. I really enjoy the theme! Great work.
Personally really liked the theme - everyone has different tastes. As usual with these things 50% of people will never be happy no matter what changes - I think you and Adam should just keep doing the things you like and if people want to use it they can do. After all you could not release it and no one could use it which would be a real shame.
I kinda like the new theme, got a few "disslikes" thou.
The green color doesn't seem to be the same everywhere in the notification
The battery seem to have a few extra pixels in every corner
The logo, dunno why I don't like it thou, but me and my friend posted a few alternative logos in the Oxygen-thread, dunno what other guys think about them thou.
other than those 3 notes i like the idea of an speciall oxygen theme!

I liked the icons. When no activity on the connection it is gray almost invisible, when it has activity it turns green clearly visible. You can see in the Market picture attached.
@1000moths
Could you look at the attached images, I have some suggestions. Thanks 1000moth loved the theme.
...one last thing, When I installed the 0.2.2 I did not got your wallpaper with the Oxygen logo somehow got my old wallpaper. Now I do not know how to get your wallpaper again. Would you mind telling me how can I find this wallpaper inside the rom? Or maybe you could post it? EDITED: Already found in the zip posted below.
Thanks again man.
Current status -
White pixels on battery - Fixed and changed the battery to face the other way bit like MIUI
The lime green - I'm going to switch this to the official Android green #A4C369 it's less "aggressive" but may look a bit washed out but we'll see.
Status bar - I've gone with blacker version for the next itteration
Header bar - i've removed all Oxy branding for the time being.
Uploaded a flashable zip below so you can check it out.

Is this flashable for Oxygen 0.2.2?

Just downloaded and flashed the zip, and I must agree looks a lot nicer now and didn't notice those little extra pixels around the corners of the battery icon until someone mentioned it lol,
I am impressed with oxygen and I've only been running it an hour with vorkkernel r8 and man is it smooth.
Good work on the theme tho mate if you made the notification drop down a lot darker like the bar would be sweet.
And I think the background on the notification drop down looks "weird" cos it's got a carbon like texture on there?
Upgraded to the One Plus X from my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S3 (you have served me well) and the first thing I noticed is that the colours on my S3 are more vibrant the One Plus X -_-
It's because color temperature in OPX is set to high. It's probably over 8000K instead of 6300K, which results in blue tint, more vibrant blue and green color and washed out reds, oranges and other warm colors.

Can IT BE Fixed
Sure.
Either OP fixes color temperature with next update or they implement color temperature slider in Oxygen OS, which will allow you to set it by yourself.
If not, then there are and will be custom kernels that will allow color calibration (I'm not sure if blu_spark kernel supports it, but I think so).
Simple solution to all of this, is to flash a custom kernel and use kcal to tweak the screen the way you want it to be.
Hey People, i was wondering what all of us are using as screen settings and why.
For me srgb looks certainly more accurate but White are yelloish, they look better on Google's calibration settings but then colors are too saturated... So for now i still haven't made my choice. How about you? What do you use?
Well I'm running DU ROM which comes with a custom kernel. To me, stock colors don't pop enough. I left the RGB values alone and simply bumped my saturation to 35. Display looks great at this setting for me. I've tried a hundred different display settings and for me this one looks the best. I use kernel adiutor to adjust my display settings
Thanks mate, still haven't made up my mind as to routine n6p should i need assistance for it.... Take YouTube screens for instance, that red punches Soo much to me
Running custom kernel and I use the same profiles that I used on my N6 to get 6500k.
I'm using screen adjuster +8 on blue
Gives better whites... Anyone tried color screen filter from play store? Might give some more options I think
I use 100% stock screen settings. I like the way Amoled looks. SRGB looks washed out and boring, even if I compare it with my Nexus 5 (2013) screen.
Hey guys, as you may have noticed, Zenfone 2 (or at least the ZE551ML) has a warm-ish tint on it's screen colors. On CM13, I think I might've found the settings to get as close to pure white as possible. Here are my current settings:
[CM13 4/22 Nightly]
RED - 92%
GREEN - 89%
BLUE - 100%
If you have a different setting and feel that it's a lot closer to pure white, please share it with us!
Stock rom or stock-based rom users should be able to adjust the screen color as well via Splendid app. I'm not sure though how to get into detail about that since it's only a single color slider unlike CM13's RGB settings.
I just set the color temperature on splendid to minimum. it's not a perfect white, but it's better than 95% of the other phones I compared to

Yeah, I remember doing that as well on splendid. I believe that it gives a more cooler color temperature. I tried to compare that to an iPhone 5s and Zenfone 5, about 2-3 steps higher from your settings might do the trick.
I'm new to Sony devices and was looking to get a dark theme set up on my new X Compact. After digging around I'm pretty confused abut the whole thing and thought I'd ask for some help here.
I'm looking for white text on a black background. I think I'm doing something wrong here, because I can't seem to find a white on black theme in the native Xperia themes, but I can find one for Substratum. This seems odd because my understanding was that Substratum was a port of Sony's Overlay Manager Service.
In any event, from my understanding I've got 2 options:
1) Install OmniROM and Substratum
2) Install CM13 and use the built in theme engine
I'm a bit reluctant to install CM13 as it's still in alpha, which leaves me with the OmniROM solution. Is this accurate? (I should note, that it's great to see so much development for the X Compact so soon after launch!)
Thanks so much for any help.
I am not sure what you mean when you say you can't find a theme with white text on black background. Unless you mean that you want the theme to be always black, even in the settings and similar apps. That isn't possible, because since Kitkat Android (at least for Xperia) has two modes: bright theme and dark theme. The settings are always bright. I tried myself to invert the bright theme making it dark, but far too many things get unreadable because they aren't 100% customisable.
Still if you want to give a try with a a dark theme you may want to try this one. It's free (and don;t worry, the link doesn't have any ad. It's from Google shortner): https://goo.gl/PHyqRH
If you don't like it you can simply uninstall it and try another one. There are tons of free black themes. personally I'll never go as far as unlocking the bootloader and install a custom ROM just to have some different themes. Also because apparently most of the support for custom ROMs is ending. Cyanogenmod closed, for example. It has been taken over by someone else, but it won't probably be the same thing.
Thanks so much for your help with this. The monochrome theme you directed me to has some dark elements for sure, but I was looking for a completely black background. To be honest, I've been a bit surprised at how much I'm bothered by the white backdrop, especially at night. I've been using a dark CM theme on another phone for years, and didn't really think that a small change like this would make such a difference to me.
I think you understand what I'm looking for, but just to confirm here are some links to the play store:
Black Background using CM13: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blissroms.moelle.ddoverhauled
Black Background using Substratum: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers
Nope. As I wrote the stock Android for Xperia doesn't support the dark panels on the bright themes. Or better, it's possible to put dark backgrounds in a bright theme, but after that far too many elements get unreadable. Dark text for starting, which can't be changed. The clock and SMS apps get quite messy for example.
The CM ROMs have its own customisation engine, different from the one Sony has implemented for the Xperia phones (and thus as far as I know their themes are not compatible). The same I believe applies to SubStratum, which I don't know. But I suppose you need root to install it. And also it may conflict with the Xperia customisation.
Still there are plenty of great themes that change the backgrounds to different colours or even images. They won't be totally dark, but they are a relief from the obnoxious pure white. Blue themes are usually the best for that purpose. Also the Golden themes are quite popular at the moment. This (still free) at least removes the white, replacing it with gold color: https://goo.gl/WK9yGm
