I came across the issue after ROM upgrade to T-mobile 1.60 (used to be O2 Asia 1.03). T-Mobile has nice gray background theme (default one), but when I tried to switch to some other theme (through settings->today) and back, all letters on the menu turned white and almost invisible on light gray background. Anyone knows where should I look for font colors in the registry (or maybe there is a Theme editor or something)?
There is a theme generator on Microsoft's Pocket PC page. This not only allows you to create your own themes from Jpegs, but it allows you to modify the colour ov virtually everything on your today screen, including font colour.

Hope that helps
sounds like something

Hi All,
I have been maing new themes for my system using Themegence. I seem to be experiencing some problems. I searched for answers and only found one or 2 work arounds. My exact questions have not been asked:
1) What is the standard DPI to use for the theme?
2) When I make a theme using the standard theme option (first choice on the options tab) My theme seems to generate fine. All my color tweaks seem to take. But when I use the option for qvga portrait and landscape than the theme won't take my changes to the system colors. (ie, the navigation bar and system tray). It displays my theme but with the standard windows blue colors....yuck
3) What ever I do, in the program, I can't get the theme to change the color of the text for those 2 areas (nav bar and sys tray)
4) I want to change the base hue to a different grey scale value. But the program won't take may change for base hue either. (actually even tweaking the registry directly I can't get a different grey scale base hue. Although I can make it a different color all together)
I know that some of these colors can be changed in the registry, and that there are work arounds for some of the other issues. But I am not looking for work arounds. I want my theme to do everything that it should. In case I ever have to re start the theme, from a system reset, or just changing themes...I don't want to muck around to make it work...know what I mean.
Thanks
I was wondering if it's possible to change the colors in settings, program and filemanager and all of those. Now it's white background and black text and it's so boring. I want it to match the grayish silver in SPB Mobile Shell...?
is there anyway to change the overscrolling affect color? I used one theme where the effect was white, but I don't want a whole theme i only wanna change it from green or blue, to a different color of my choosing.
Yeah this is possible, but it requires editing images inside one of the apks. So you'd have to extract the apk, edit the image to whatever color you wanted and then push it to your phone.
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?

hi. which android api ? only themes built for oms work for me at 7.1.1 . the themes i can use usually have 7.1.1 in bottom right corner of app icon. also there are somtimes options that very from between apis in one app and u have to manually select your api (a swift black e.g) usually first option below toggle.i also cannot compile with the stable aapt compiler i have to use aopt and disable legacy fallback.

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!
