I'm looking for a VRTheme like the MIUI V4-Themes.
There are many great Themes for the SGS2 but they all have a dark background. I tested a few MIUI-Roms but was unhappy regarding to some specific issues in combination with my hardware. Car-Audio! But i was impressed by the possibilities of theming.
i have a white SGS2 and beside personal taste - in my opinion the light background with dark fonts is much better if you use the phone in a car. Less light reflections and so on.
So is there such a theme out there? I didn't find one.
Could it be a challenge for a pro-themer to make one?
I could offer help for testing and by donation...
Thanks in advance!
Please close thread
As i changed my phone to the big Galaxy Note, please close thread.
Thanks.
Been playing with Jelly Bean for a couple of days now, and can't help feel that it's almost got a split personality when it comes to the graphics..
Some of the Android menus are the ICS style black and neon blue, but there are more and more screens creeping in with the new Google style white / grey look
Do you think Android's going to move more to having a consistent white / grey look as it gets developed? Or are we going to be left with mixed system themes for a while?

They introduced the new Intent Action launcher (the white one, 1st screen) to avoid the data tapping Apple's patent. However I like the Holo Light theme, I think that Google is playing with Light and Dark theme not to bore the users.

Holo Light and Holo Dark both follow Android Design Guidelines.
The Nexus 7 uses an IPS screen, which does whites well but blacks can look not as good as on AMOLED screens.
That may be another reason for more white. Im not a fan but I see the need for comprimise. I wish we could toggle the theme between light ahd dark Holo in Google apps, though.
I'm also no fan of the mixed themes. I really always think how cheap it looks when it switches colors. I think the system should have a switch for either everything black or everything white. I'm missing the feeling that I'm on a professional system when it comes to software ui.
On the other hand it totally sucks that even bigger developers like tapatalk for example just don't follow these rules... So many NEW apps just look ugly... Hope this will change sooner or later...

Messaging and contacts had the same white theme in ICS, so this style isn't new to JB. It is kind of a design clash, but not one I find very annoying as they do work together.

You're right about the messaging app. This works for me too. But the contacts has the blue bar at top and overall blue lines which makes it look totally different....

Your right some kind of theme selection would be nice. I'm guessing they went from more black to more white because their launch device went from a amoled screen to an lcd. A bummer for battery life on the Gnex. The good news is cm and aokp should have the theme manager integrated at some point.

But it sure would be nice of google to give us more choice on the front end, a dark, light and maybe blue and red toggle theme switch would be so freaking awesome and make the "unique" apple homescreens just look even more ridiculous.
butter and jelly please...

Maybe so, but it still looks inconsistent.
I would've thought it would make more sense for all system screens to be one theme or the other rather than mixing them.
Surely it wouldn't be too hard to program it so the user could select a dark or light theme then have it applied across the whole system?

Maybe it would be more uniform, but not much flavor. I agree, I do like holo dark, and sometimes wish it could be applied system wide (which is why I install themes and inverted gapps) but I think this way it gives developers more options as to how to design their apps, because some might like it lighter or darker.

I like the mix of colours :thumbup:

Microsoft accomplished it. The interface looks so nice only thing I hate about it is too much text... Everything is text. Mostly no icons. Kind of boring. But let's not talk about win phone 7...

I hate ICS blue so I like this new white/gray theme.

White/Gray/Black > ICS Blue.
I feel like the contrast goes well with the display.
I know that dark themes preserve battery, but I'm looking for a bright/light theme, something more aligned to recent Google Now graphics. I tried to search trough Theme Chooser but didn't fin nothing relevant, everything tends to be dark. The only one that looks cool and is brighter that most of the themes around is MIUI Concept v5 (http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/5628/conceptpre.png) but definitely not in Google Now style.
Has someone found a decent bright/light theme?
Sorry, not here to share any themes. Just wanted to let you know, that the Nexus 4 doesn't care whether it is running a dark or a light theme, there are no differences regarding battery usage.
A dark theme will only help you preserve your battery charge if your phone as an amoled screen. This is due to the fact, that the amoled screen actually lights all pixels separately and any black or dark areas on your screen therefore need much less energy to be displayed.
On a conventional LCD display the entire display lights up evenly, so you can not save battery charge by switching to a dark theme.
where can i find the miui v5 theme?

I've been using the Chrome OS theme for a while, but hoping for a full Holo-Light theme. Holo-Dark just feels unpolished compared to Light

Some nice themes in this thread, thanks!
Hi guys, post down here your favorite substratum dark theme backgrounds , i 'd really use some help to get a background. Right now it is just black :fingers-crossed:
Swift black is my all time favourite amongst the others. In fact it's the best according to me. Almost all of the apps are themed. Give it a try.
My favorites
Lone 4subs is pretty godly. Monstrous amount of backgrounds/combo's https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=R2xSd0ZSeEFEclI1bHJFTGxma0tnT0FzVzBsMkl3
Compound for substratum. You are gonna love it.
Howdy everyone!! Hope everyone's day was good, now that I got good lock and it's be released in more regions, and I really never messed around with making your own themes and haven't been really a fan of of theme adn key bored bloated with Spam apps and don't even theme all the way to settings, so just wondered if any here is using it or plans on using that would mind sharing and please feel free to show off screen shots!!
