Happy April Fools Day!

April Fails

that pic is out of focus.

my question is...what theme are they using? I have a focus and theres no blue that looks that dark on my screen (and there was a before pic too)
did they do the hack to set custom colors?
speaking of which, a full color wheel for custom accent colors is something I hope MS adds

After having custom colours, you start to realise why MS hasn't added this.
Only certain colours work well with the tiles with the white text, anything too light and the text can't be read, anything too dark and the theme text can't be viewed on the dark background like on the volume display.
Sure you could change tile fonts to black but that looks unprofessional with the black background and white text everywhere else.

true...I didn't think about that. But at the very least, I hope they add more options. There are several options but only a handful that I find I like...there are certainly more colors that would work

Theme help - 6.1

Hello - I am using the Kavana 6.1 ROM with the default sliding screen. I would like to use a photo collage for my background image, however the screen fonts are too white and bright for it. I have adjusted the image as much as I can to still be viewable and it helps a little.
I would like to know if there is anyway to change the color of the display fonts on the home screen - e.g. change the clock and other text to a darker color or have them outlined in shadow so they stand out against my background.
Thank you.

you can change font color in the scheme.xml files using hex color codes. As for as i know, you can't add a shadow though. the scheme file will change the font color for the whole homescreen, not indivivual text, so you have to choose a color for all text on there.
If you search, you can also find some apps( for phone and for pc) that will change the font color for you plus all the other colors you want to change.
thank you very much.

[Q] Change notification colors

Is there a way to change the background colors or the text colors of the notifications. For example, the CNN app uses black text, but the background is also dark grey, so I can't read anything that is displayed. If someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

[Q] Is Fade and Gradient broken?

Can someone explain to me how Fade and Gradient fill styles are meant to work please? As far as I can see, neither produces results I would expect.
For example, open up the advanced parameters on a progress bar and specify the "fill mode other color" as, say, white. Then try changing the colour under the fill mode or the foreground colour - no change to the widget colour.
With Gradient fill, all I want to do is go from opaque white to transparent white but Zooper decides to get there it needs to go through yellow!
I'm either not understanding how the UI is meant to work here or these options are really busted. Anyone able to offer any help?
Example of the gradient problem is attached.

Yeah damn things been like this for a while. Shows some yellowish color for me usually. Mess with the foreground/background colors and it'll work right. Just have to F with it.
HSV gradient instead of a RGB gradient ?
I have the same issue and then googled a little. After reading these two pages "perbang.dk/rgbgradient" and "bensouthgate.com/p/12_3_13.php" (I can not post link now), I think the gradient is based on HSV and not RGB; the later seems however be more intuitive and correspond to what I imagine for a gradient from white to another color.
I don't think we can code a RGB gradient from the Advanced Parameter because some functions are currently missing.
If anyone has an idea...

These are the colours tasker gets for me with this wp using the "Get material colours"
https://imgur.com/a/zJYV0kr
it's very washed out on systemui and gboard though, in the range of accent 1 80% lightness
As an alternative, this might be useful

I think the light theme has solid colors but the dark theme doesn't
The theming imo sucks. I can see theming the accent color but changing the hue of the grays on the screen is ridiculous.

I agree 100%. The weird thing is on my Poco F3's running any Android 12 custom rom I can use Substratum and it will theme everything properly including the toggles but on the P6 Pro the apps theme but the UI doesn't.

Question Pixel themes and notification panel effects

I am wondering how to get more colour theme options when I set a new wallpaper, usually it gives me the same 4 or it may be a mix of a few depending on my wallpapers but I cannot seem to attain a white or grey theme as shown on the pixel 6 advertisement with white widgets and white app icons on grey backgrounds. Is there a way to get more options?
Also, sometimes when I slide down my notification panel it is completely white, and sometimes it is a blurred version of my background, why isn't this consistent?
It's limited to the small number of muted colour selections with no way to add more afaict.
The blurred pull down background is a bug triggered by adjusting the brightness slider.
