Add more colors to homescreen settings

is it possible to add more colors to the homescreen other than standard and guava bubbles?

I've been wanting to know this too

It is... by editing the XML file, or installing a homescreen with a different color scheme. There are several links out there with instructions, here's one to start (scroll down a little, the color scheme section is there)

BlackBarsScheme
This is a Color Scheme with registry entries to enable true black bars (softkey and icon bars). Just select your homescreen and select Color Scheme: Black Bars. It works with all the standard homescreens on my dash. Experiment and see what works.

If you try to specify your softkeys menu bar in a homescreen as black wm5 will give you grey. In order to get "true" black you must create registry settings. It has been said (though I don't know if it's true) that Homescreens that set the registry will create seperate entries for every homescreen with black bars you install (true enough), but if you uninstall those homescreens the registry entrys will stay(?) until you factory reset your phone. So if you install 20 homescreens with black bars you end up with 20 different registry entries for the same effect even if you uninstall 19 of them. The BlackBarsScheme will only create one set of entries and can be used with any homescreen you want to use.

i still don't get what you're talking about. Are you wanting to change the color or the words at the bottom of the screen, (ex: the word "more" and menu" as illustrated in your screnshot) or something else? if you are talking about the words. the screenshot still shows the color of the left and right softkey text as white... or sorta white

no what i mean was the words at the bottom of the icons but i done it now

And the words are still white... so what are you talking about ?!? LOL

Look at your startmenu the words are black you no the ones under the icons
and if you look at mine thay are white

My start menu icon descriptions are white... and using one of your ROMs... HAHA!

can you past a screenshoot?

Honestly i think it auto-adjusts based on what your background is.... i used to use a homescreen designer that allowed youto change the text color of your menu icons. but never saw a way to change the color of the softkey button text

How to get black color in taskbar and buttons?

I installed the XannyTech rom and it's really nice but there's a grey backgorund for the taskbar as well as the bottom bar (where it has "phone" and "menu"), and I'd prefer it to be black as usual. Is there any way to change this?

So I have it set that the background on the home page is black and also the start menu and all tabs within.
My problem is my calendar background is still blue with the at&t logo so is the background for my text, email, internet, and weather tabs. I would like them all to have a black background.
I’m using TF3D and the phone is stock.
Please let me know how to change this.

It's not about icons background which you can change by theme changing. He is asking about menu background. Just click on setting and see there is white background. How to change it to black or grey?

To change colour settings:
From the homescreen, scroll right and tap Settings.
Tap Advanced settings.
Tap Accessibility.
You can choose: Colour inversion, where the colours and shades on your display will be shown in the opposite way. Colour correction, which allows you to customise the colour of your screen.

The short answer is: No you cannot. Unless you have a device with AMOLED screen.
If you do have AMOLED device, then you can change to "Dark mode" under battery saving.
