[REQ] TF3D text shadowing/text BG... allowing use of bright wallpapers - Windows Mobile Software Development

Ok I'm not saying that I'm the first one to think about it, or even request this.. but here it goes..
The problem that I see with TF3D is that you must use dark, really dark wallpapers to see the TF3D text normally. Font is white and has no shadowing, so you can't use any bright/white wallpapers, or u won't see crap. And the opposite is true, if I set the black font, I won't see anything with a dark wallpaper.
I really like the Andriod's approach, it allows you to use whatever wallpaper you like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to have a similar text BG or shadowing for TF3D? It'd allow us to use any wallpaper we like, and it won't make the text unreadable.
Mind you, if you can fix this with a font, font must be UTF-8 and support international characters..

[idea] calling all theme devs :)

I just had a quick thought is it possible to have the wallpaper pan over the menu bar, it wouldn't look great with some wallpapers but with something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
would look great don't you think?
I don't think we can get the title bar to become see thru, the only other way of doing it is to copy the top part of the wallpaper and paste that onto the title_bar.png in framework-res.apk. but then it is hard coded and will look funny when you switch wallpapers.
oh well
oh well just an idea would have been good though
Yeah it would be sweet if we could give it a smoke glass effect. Maybe in time we will be able to.
The thing is also that the wallpaper does not get up "under" the status bar, so even if it was possible to make the statusbar transparent you would not see the wallpaper underneath. The very top of the wallpaper begins beneath the very bottom of the statusbar, they never overlap.

Simple text icons - MIRROR_WHITE

Hello a month back or so i created some icons, maybe some of you will like them so i made a rar. There is a psd file inside aswell if you want to create your own icons...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(the iconst are transparent, no grey background its just so you can see the text )
I somehow lost the psd for the other apps the design of which is abit different.
If there will be request for the other type of icons ill change the original psd again.
Hope you guys will like them

TW SecMms *Your Way*

Just started this one.
I messed up some bubbles
This is the Touch Wiz Mms apk.
Save your stock one in a safe place.
Download it
Side load it to system app
Fix permissions
Make sure you only have one apk in there, this one has a G at the end.
Reboot
It may or may not be transparent for you, most likely it's inverted, let me know.
The downloads will say transparent, depending on what rom you're on, you tell me.

Changing a widget?

This is one of the screens on my homescreen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see at the bottom in the dock, the text are zooper widgets that simply switch to the specific page in the nova launcher.
However, I want there to be some kind of indication that I am on the relevant page after clicking it, is there any way I can achieve this?
I was hoping there would be some kind of 'onclick' action that would let me switch the page AND change the font colour or something.
Also, when I press them, the text doesn't highlight like when I select any item on the desktop (icons etc). Is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance.
This zooper widgets arent static there is a set of them on every page. So you can edit the widget on the specific page to show an indicator. Change the font or make a button just what u want.

Window title bars all same color after upgrading to Oreo?

Back on Nougat, the title bar of each window when you were in the window selection mode corresponded to the application you were in. Since getting on Oreo, all of them are blue! I tried a bunch of different dark themes, some made them green, I think one even made them all black but it was so much easier to find what application to switch to when they were different colors. Any way to get that back? Screenshot of what I'm talking about
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Could you tell me which black theme turned those title bars to black?
It didn't turn them all black - each app has a different color based on the color scheme of the app.
OK thanks, do you know how to turn the pop-ups menu boxes to black on Oreo? - it's very frustrating seeing all the menus white all the time..
