Did OP change the way active quick titles look on the Jan update? This looks like garbage and i could of sworn they weren't white before.
I looked through my screenshot since before the January patch and they are black, appear white for me now but I have a dark accent
Setting it to default theme changes it back to black but any custom accent immediately white no matter how bright

If you want to try these, you are more than welcome. These Magisk modules were made to get rid of the pale colors and replace them with more basic colors. And you can pick to either leave the icon colors stock or pick white or black (regardless of light-dark theme). I don't have this phone but these work on my Pixel.

I took a look at the new Android Market and realized that it had a white background instead of a gray one. And thinking about it, I also think that most other applications would look a whole lot better if they had a white background instead of the standard gray one.
Is there any way to change the theme, change the gray background to white?

Haha, could be it. But is there any theme or such which changes the gray to white? And the colour of the text to black?
Yup, go over to the theme forum and you will have plenty of options. But you have to be rooted to apply them otherwise use a home replacement like ahome or dxtop

I took a look in there, but I haven't found any which makes it white yet. All of the themes seem to use the standard gray. Any ideas?
Two options, learn to make your own or ask a theme maker if he could make a white one
Afaik, no one has figured out how to this yet. I've tried quite a bit, and its something many themers and I would like to do. So far, no luck except on Mms.apk.

The new Market I believe has a white background. Expect it soon!
Background colors are chosen by the developer of the particular app.
Just got the S7 edge yesterday, everything is going fine except one thing.
I set a black wallpaper to take advantage of this beautiful AMOLED screen.
But when I set it, I get very faint white horizontal bars on top of the screen. It's not that my screen is broken, it's completely black when I see that image in the gallery, but when I set it as a wallpaper, I get the faint white bars. I tried it on the stock launcher as well as Nova & Apex. It's persistent in all the launchers.
I thought it might be because of the "shadow effect" many browsers have, but I turned the shadow off & yet it was there.
Anyone else have this issue? How do I fix it?
Thank you.
Edit:
I'm including 2 screenshots of the home screen. One of them is edited to make the bars more prominent.

It's normal and part of the stock framework and would need editing to remove. Doesn't bother me.
You could use a launcher like Nova and work on the transparency of the notification bar, or use a gesture to hide it entirely. I believe it's done so that you can see the notification bar in a black on black situation.

Won't make a difference, it's not part of the status bar.
I had same issue I tried the material black theme and gone now. Nice theme too

I downloaded the trial for that theme. Agreed it's a beautiful theme, but it doesn't solve the problem for me.
Yeah, I noticed that too as I actually have the same exact wallpaper haha.

Found a temporary fix.
Setting the wallpaper using KLWP.
It falls under the "live wallpapers", even if you just set a static wallpaper & the white bars don't show up on a live wallpaper.
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!
I want to install a "dark" theme for my S8 Snapdragon that's in the S7 forum. Can I do this on S8 without root (using Package Disabler method)?
If this is possible, will there be any glitches I should be aware of ahead of time? If I can do this, I may never root... well, probably will just to get rid of Samsung-ware.

Use the themes in the theme store under settings. There are dark free ones.

Themes in the "Theme Store" can't change the Messaging app color / text box color, can it? I'm looking for something to give me as much white text on black background as possible in apps / System UI / dialer.
I don't mind paying for a theme in the Theme Store if this can be accomplished.

The "High Contrast Theme" from Samsung has a pure black background with white text in the stock messaging app (for free).

I won't have my S8 until tomorrow - any chance you could point me to screenshots of the Messaging and Settings apps? Or perhaps post them for me if it's not too much trouble
Really appreciate it.

Thanks for that. The white text input box at the bottom is what I was hoping I could make white on black. I've used a few themes around XDA that could do this - like this one I'm currently using on my S6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/theme-samsung-galaxy-s8-t3582967
I bet there is a user made theme that blacks that out as well but I've only tried a few. I'll let you know if I come across one.
EDIT - Hmm it seems like all of the black themes on the Samsung app have the white text box, maybe they don't allow that to be changed on the stock app?
I have been playing around with Textra for messaging and it allows you to customize the look, see attached image. I think you could make those blue accents black as well.

I like that - I think I'll give that a try.
Yeah there are some elements the Samsung Theme Engine won't allow user created themes to change, at least from my understanding. The High Contrast theme and the use of Textra look like good options until we have root.
Thanks again!
Speaking of themes...Does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain black status bar (not transparent) with white text at the top of the screen all the time (without root)?

For me Material Black theme is almost same as a stock black theme. Change icons and you have stock black theme.
I downloaded Metal Black which is a decent theme.

Did you manage to have the bottom navigation bar, Black'?
Mine turned white after the last upadate when they introduced the dot on the bar. I cannot find a way to make it black again. Built in settings doesn't give black as an option!
sarbashrestha - On the theme I downloaded, if you go into the Nav Bar settings and click Apply Current Theme under it will make it dark. Mine is a sort of transparent black.

I'm using Renovate Ice 3.0 and there is an option to make navigation of any color you want.
In other roms I've tested, I'm having the same problem as you with the last update AQF7.
