[Q] How do you configure Day/Night switch Layers themes? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on an AOSP ROM that offers day/night auto switching theme with layers capability.
And I've installed two themes that supposedly offer day/night options.
Grounge and Magpie are the themes (both paid versions).
I've set the ROM to auto theme.
But when installing the actual theme (grounge or magpie), I can't figure out how to do day/night theme? I can install dark or light themes but haven't figured out how to install both for day/night switching?
Googling this has been a little rough. Any pointers or a guide would be helpful!

Still looking to figure this out.
I'm a Layers newbie in general and wanting the day/night switching my Broken OS ROM offers.
This screenshot is where I was expecting to find day/night options?

Where to get themes?

I was looking for some good themes. I tried the themes on freeware pocket pc and they didn't have a very wide variety and the ones I tried didn't even work. So if anyone could point me in the right direction and maybe some instructions on how to install them (I think maybe I am doing something wrong) Also I was wondering if anyone has found custom slider noises. Thanks for any help

[Q] Customizing Status Bar Icons

I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.
There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.
Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.

Layers/Substratum and/or theme creation help

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!

Anyone who can edit MIUI themes? (Awesome theme idea, you'd love it)

So I'm using this theme called pixel experience... It's awesome features -
1. Fully stock Nougat statusbar icons, rounded battery icon like lineageos a bonus
2. It can accommodate 14 toggles (yes, FOURTEEN)
My idea for theme...
1. Status bar from this theme
2. Quick toggle from this theme (Even themeing of toggle.. I kinda love it's stockish look )
3. EVERYTHING ELSE from default MIUI theme (I don't like it's icons and themeing of default apps)
Resources -
1. Pixel Experience! Link: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/cef0f8c1-7d2b-468c-97a5-e506a1bd77eb
2. Stock clone theme - eXtended 8! Link: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/f068e9a8-1bd1-48b0-a062-a35a5eef66e5
I don't have the default theme, I'd add it if anyone provides it's link...
Other users might show their support to this idea with their comments...

Sorry if I don't understand right, what you want, but you can achieve this without making a whole new theme. There's already a possibility to mix your installed themes. Go to themes app -> Tap on the little user icon in the upper left corner -> Customize theme. Here you can mix.

Dark theme
Hi guys, just updated my ze552kl to Android O, get rid of annoying dots and background apps notification, so far so good. Anyone has any idea to get dark themes especially on quick tiles section? I don't mind spend some bucks for dark theme as long as it gets things done consistently, not just main setting page. Alternatively, I'd like to try Andromeda addon but most of the themes do not recommend quick tiles theme adjustment (just color, not icons) which is kind of pointless. So, it would be appreciated if someone could recommend a spesific dark zenui theme or share any thoughts and experience with Andromeda on ze552kl. Thanks in advance

Well I don't what's wrong but the suggested theme partially change phone, contacts, wallpapers, icons, main setting page only. The quick tiles remain white. I guess I'm out of luck, but there is a wayout please be kind enough to inform.

If you want to change icons only from other theme, it can be achieved via zenui theme and select customize from within the theme you want the icons to be applied (check icons only). Or from installed iconpack from Preference --> Icons/folder. It works fine for me.

you mean the notification shade?
The themes work for me on the notification shade
Check attached image.
This is the Space and Beyond theme. Don't customize it, choose apply all and then change wallpaper or icons as desired. Make sure you are on the latest version for ZenUi, Themes and all asus apps.

Magisk 15.3 works for me.
Is there a way to change the lock screen clock? It's absolutely hideous and very poorly designed

Yeah, I wonder why is it so hard to have simple thing. It's only partially applied with quick tiles / notification remain stock (white background /blue icons). I didn't do factory reset after Oreo update. Backup /restore process is so tiring.
