I find it quite annoying that the gmail app has white background with black text while most other stuff has black background with white text which is much more readable.
I tried fiddling with the gmail.apk to change the background but didn't get anywhere. So did anyone create such a changed apk or would know how to do that?
Maybe you can ask this guy to help you do it yourself
by the way looking at the kind of themes these guys are producing for their phones I am wondering why don't we have such on samsung

I hated white backgrounds too. So I just installed k9 email
I just cant stand K9... It doesnt feel comfortable at all...
i would also love black inverted versions of pretty much everything!
also wouldnt this help battery life too with how the S AMOLED screen utilizes black pixels?

Hi.
As mentioned in the title I have difficulties in using all the beautiful looking black themes in bright sunlight. Therefore I have been looking for some good looking themes with black text on a white (or bright) background, that is easy to use during daytime.
But searching the forum did not find any - therefore I would like to ask you if you know such a theme?
Thanks

You can use any PC theme maker application, create a white background based theme & customise it to your extent(the way you like).
You may face a problem of the taskbar & navigation's colour not changing - for this you can use 'UITweaker'.
Hey guys,
i'm wondering if there's a possibility to have a black backround and white text on the messages screen just like the pics at swypeinc.com , except apps like handcent etc.
I appreciate any help and thank you in advance

Hello all,
I'm loving ICS but I have to say the reason I like ICS is that People and SMS and EMail are all light whether white and grey, or white and blue. now I do like the black and blue, but when i'm using the phone, i'm preferring the lighter theme as i find it clearer.
So what i'm requesting is that someone theme the dialler, if possible attach the people app to it rather than the address book (never understood two apps same thing one light one dark) and maybe theming the settings menu etc the same.
IF someone did this for me, i would happily donate £10
Thanks,
Luke.
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
I'm running a GNex with Paranoid Android 3.6 and standard universal gapps having come from JB Sourcery with inverted gapps.
Since I moved over I've had a problem with Gmail. When I start a new message the font is very light grey on a white background. It's impossible to read. Received emails are black on white as you would expect.
I haven't changed any settings, and in fact I can't find any settings to change the bg or font colour. It's driving me mad though.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this?
Thanks
EDIT: I've installed an inverted gmail for the time being, which has solved the issue, but I'd rather be on standard gapps if possible so still looking for a solution if anyone can help.
