Hey guys i was wondering if its possible to theme the default messaging app thats by samsung, Like id be interested if its possible to change the background in the conversation menu to pure black (it would use less battery) rather than grey, it would also be cool to change the bubble colours possibly.
Is this possible? And how would it be achieved, input from "pro" themers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

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?
Hey to all the developers out there
i would love to see a different contact list. Like the transparent dialer to go with eachother. Love the transparent dialer. Also the 3d gallery is rather annoying with the blured preview of the highlighted pic in the background when looking through folders. I think if got rid of that and had option to change background colour and change the way we can flow the pics would be a great gallery app.
Anyway if you dont ask you dont get so this is me asking if anyone has same views to me then please show them here. No developer will do this inless its something alot of people want.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for the stock SMS Messaging App, but without the ugly yellow/blue deal they've got going on. I would prefer a black and white version, but honestly, I just need a change. So if you have any themed stock messaging apk's, please do share!

Solution!!!
Hey, i know what you mean. its just to boring and simple a change is needed. And i have a solution.
Go to the market and download "Go SMS Pro" trust me, you will never need another SMS apk ever!!! there are sooo many features and themes. Its also Highly customizable so you can have that black and white theme your after.
Hope i have posted this in the right section because this is a themed related question

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All these colors are in /res/values/style.xml
look for icon menu
list view
and any other menu instances that have that light grey, looks to be pretty close to white, maybe cccccc
make them black and youll be good to go.
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.

We'll just wait for Google to provide a Dark theme for the SMS app
