Hi all. I have been searching a lot about changing the background color / image on the menus (I don't want it black, i want something different). And well, I don't understand how to do it. Well, this is my last alternative. I want a theme or something, but I just want to change the background color on the menus, nothing else. Maybe green, blue, an image, or something, whatever. I have seen the 5 pages of "Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps" and I couldn't find something like this (you know, they change everything, icons, bars, colors, and sometimes background images).
I found some threads asking almost the same, but no one answered, so I did it here.
I understand that maybe no one is going to answer hahaha well. Thanks, cya.

we all know windows mobile looks fancy on the 'desktop' but the second you go into settings/programs the white background just makes it look cheap, is there a way to play around with this ie make it black or what not?
I do remember seeing a thread in this forum about changing the background color to black. I do not remember where i saw, but you can always use the GooG search.
Hey guys i don't know if this has been posted yet, but i surfed around and couldn't get any info.
I edited a couple pictures off my comp to use them as background and now i realized for bright color'ed back grounds (ie. blue/white) they blend right in with the main screens *White font color, ya you know the clock etc..
it would help if we can set these color to black/blue/deep blue etc. vice versa, suprisingly htc never thought of this? or am i missing something here =/
changing themes don't seem to be doing much
FONTs....
System and TF3D are available and works from other devices.
Godzon has a nice selection but not all of his include system fonts.
Search for others....Install, if no likey...uninstall

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.
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
i really like how the people app looks in ics
can i edit framework to change the settings menu background to the white color in the people apk? as well as change the text to black so i can actually see it? maybe even make the dialer have a white background as well. thanks for any help i would love to make ics more of a "light" theme.
EDIT: is it possible to change the image in frame work labeled (not sure on the name) holo_background_dark.png, if i did replace this how to i change the font to be dark as well
a lot of text issues arise when making a white theme. more so than just changing the text color in framework and sysui
It's possible, of course, but the fact that you are asking those questions warrants the answer 'but not advisable for YOU to mess with it'.
It's not simple as 'changing one background/text color'.
Edit: if you are really determined to do it, take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

thank you for the guide.
my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?
if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.
