[Q] sms replace yellow bubble background - Defy General

hey guys...
i really like the sms layout,
but does anyone know, or did anyone find out how to change the background collors of those bubbles :=)
maybe some easy way :=)
just another color for the yellow bubble.. and i'd be the luckiest person on earth (for a while 4sure)
greets

I at one point had a theme on my Cliq that had blue instead of yellow...I am sure it can be done, but how easily is another matter. Hopefully we will see more themes down the road.

thanks for the response and the info :=)
will keep my eyes open :=) (new to motorola :=))
best regards,
cV :=)

Hi, try the App Handcent SMS.
It's fully customizable and has many more options, far superior to the standard app.

Changing the color of menu button text

Hey, I am working on a motoblur theme for CM, and I have almost everything perfect. EXEPT the text on all of the buttons and stuff is black against a dark grey button. Can anyone help me out with getting the text on the buttons to be white so they are readable?
Also, another problem I'm having is with the backgrounds. I moved all of the small and normal backgrounds from motoblur into the launcher.apk of my theme, but they are not showing up in the list. Can anyone help out here, either?
Thanks everyone!

i have wondered about the font color as well for a while.
but for the wallpapers, make sure they are named the same as the wallpapers currently in launcher.apk

hey man. yeah those wall papers have been pissing me off. i finished two different themes, and that launcher hindered both, thus causing me to start alllll over again. im using this 2.0 sht now, its pretty sick, theres a lot of new **** on 2.0, like a bad ass dock, with all these settings widgets, etc, my theme should be up a little later today. keep and eye out. and Freeky, pm me, lets get this collab going down!

im not 100% sure but I think that irrenhaus' advanced launcher allows you to actually add wallpapers to it .... also i know that if you build Launcher from source you can add your wallpapers in that way

[Q] Neat themes.

Heey I've been trying to find a nice theme, but I can't really find any I think Darky's theme (R64) is a bit too dark. I'm looking for a slick stylish theme. Something like Elegant Steel but I can't find a JPX compatible port for my SGS. Anybody knows some similar themes? Thanks in advance.
This is one of the best have tried on top of Darkys v6.0 now.Check if you like it.

Hmm thanks . Looks pretty nice indeed. Could do but I won't say it's perfect. Any other inputs ?
I liked this one too.BUT its not for our version yet,waiting for update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770507
Thats the 2 best ones i liked so far.Some i tried were to slaggy,other were not good under sun conditions etc...
Lol was just looking at that one. I think I'm going for the Galassia Thanks
Edit: I says I need to install root explorer.... However root explorer costs money. Not intending to spend anything on this. Is their an alternate way to install the theme?
Anyone?

I personally really love the BlueBread theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883470
Contains the Extended Power Menu and (for me) is one of the most beautiful theme's. No strange, exorbitant icons in your notification bar (Like Galassia, LitePro etc).

Google must be toying with us with the Messaging app icon!!

Hey,
I don't know if Google is trying to be funny or something but i find it VERY irritating and stupid that THE WHOLE OS is Cyan (or Blue) and Black ... EVERYTHING... the main icons of phone, people app, notification bar and even the glowing effect of over scroll... except ONE thing, the Messaging app.. GREEN AND WHITE..!!! And not only that, their Flagship device has Super AMOLED screen and there is no DARK theme inside the app settings!! Seriously, Google?
Anyway, i'm done raging now is there a way to change the messaging app icon? (i don't like using third party apps) i want it to be ANYTHING that is similar in color to the Phone app ...
and to take this maybe a step further, is there a way to re-theme the app itself to something DARK with a lot of blacks rather than whites? (i'm not a Dev so i'm just asking, don't flame at me if it's impossible, i dunno)
Aaaaaan that's it, thanks for reading

and if you scroll further down its much easier changing the icons using an app called ninjamorph!
As a graphic designer I was wondering about the exact same issue.
ICS is a big advance in terms of design, but there are a few big "mistakes" designwise imho. It's not only the Messaging icon, it's the whole messaging app, I agree with you. Colorwise it's absolutely the opposite of what it should be... same thing with the People app, way too bright to fit the whole theme of the OS. Should be themed in the same way like the call log and the contacts tap in the dialer.
I don't understand who had the idea to design the calendar, sms and contact app in a completely different design.:thumbdown: Fortunately I'm not the only who is unhappy with this.
Hopefully the next update brings us a consistent ui.

[REQ]White Icons

I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
Found these on XDA

and the link below has some, but I can't figure out where to download them from..

That second link is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but same as you I don't find a download link. Thanks for the links nonetheless!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.
MOD EDITED

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...
I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!

[please_delete]

The project ist closed. Sorry and thanks for the support.
amazing theme bro..nice working on p10 lite
appreciate if notifications also come transparent or with dark background
Really nice theme, thank you.
+1 to transparent or dark notifications
I prefer stock icons in status bar, but yours, AOSP style, are more compact. Trade off there.
All applications seem correctly themed in P10. Clean dark rather than basic to me. Great job
Very nice theme waiting for the stock notifications icons especially for the battery ang signal. But overall great job.

Hi, first of all... Many thanks for this theme, like it very much!
Only thing I noticed so far is a double battery icon.
Can it be fixed?
I'm on beta Oreo by the way.
First of all, many thx. One thing... The smiley button in WhatsApp is hiding...

Not for me, can't re create what you say.
Fantastic theme! It's exactly what I was searching for. Works flawlessly on the P9.
