Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it's possible to some how change the text on the home screens?
For example, instead of the text with the ugly black round border thing around it, would it be possible to say have the text with a drop shadow instead?
Also a way to change the font too
Does nobody know how to do this?
Surly with Android being open source this should be possible?

I long time ago when i bought my Blackstone, a year ago, I asked some questions about the above mentioned.
Since it was a long time ago, and the Manilla has changed a lot i decided to repeat the questions in hope that something can be done.
So, the questions are:
1. is it possible to change the Manilla font color into black? When I put a lighter colored background picture it's very difficult for example to read the message that is written with white color?
2. is it possible to have a different backgound picture for every tab in the TF3D?
is it maybe posssible but nobody has yet got around to actually do it or it can't be done?
3. is it possible to have a second layer background picture? for example to have a background picture when you go to the People tab and then into the All People? And is it possible so that picture would be different than the picture in the People tab?
thanks

Are you talking about the "highlight" when you hold on an app?
As far as I know, that can be changed by the Themes.
Try a different theme and see if you like the change.
You might have to make up your own theme if there is no theme with a "no highlight" option.
Not 100% sure though.

You need to change focused_application_background.9.png (in Launcher.apk/res/drawable) to a clear graphic. From here it is an easy metamorph. You will want to search and read about .9.pngs before doing this though.
I believe you are talking about the text under the Icons, that has the dark oval background behind the white letters, right?
If so I am not sure if there is a way to change it yet, and have yet seen anyone do it.

I am fairly certain that can be changed using the colorchange.jar java app for cyanogen roms. I use it to give my theme white letters on a black background throughout. It seems to change the oval to black also, and thus can be changed. Here is the problem, it is tied into many other colors in the OS, and so it will not be possible to just change that color.
Hello All,
Just wanted to know if you have this issue or not with your One X.
When in the Settings Menu (Or any other app with a pure white Background) at the bottom of the screen there is a very faint blue along the bottom all the way across. The weird thing is, when on the Sense homescreen, the blue dissapears (Tried different wallpapers etc to test) the only way I could explain the blue is the overscroll blue effect from stock ICS, like that, but very faint. I'm starting to think I'm the only person with this. Can anyone else confirm?
Hi all,
I'm trying to make some widget locker themes that have text in the background image. I was able to make a few with just the standard rounded corner rectangle outline that a lot of themes use and I was also able to get it to work with a black and red version of my text background. But for whatever reason, when I change the background up to be black and white, my text gets all jumbled. It gets stretched in the middle between two letters rather than the whole background stretching.
I have to be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I've follow both of the tutorials and understand have about five or six different themes that work, but for whatever reason this one with text is kicking my butt. Anybody else ever run into this?
Thanks,
Dave

Well,
I've made some progress with this. I messed around with the background image and found that the single black pixel placed at the top of the image is where widget locker stretches the image to fit the screen. My temporary solution was to off set the pixel to the left side of my text. The only side effect is that now my text isn't centered as I wanted it. Instead is now on the right side of my screen. It looks ok with the lock screen I am running, but I don't understand why it works with one background (being center) and not the other.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally found a solution to my question about changing lockscreen icons. Unicon Beta will do the trick if anyone else is interested.
