Hi all,
I use a custom theme that is just a hodgepodge of things I liked from other themes, plus my own touches.
Recently I've noticed an issue where certain text boxes will appear with black text on a black background, making the text invisible. If I click in one of these boxes, the background will temporarily turn white and I'll be able to see the text, but it means clicking on each box that looks like this.
I'm experiencing the issue in multiple apps, but not all.
Here's the problem for a contact. Notice that the first name and phone number are not visible:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it doesn't always present an issue. Here's GMail looking fine:
Can anyone tell me which XML entry (or entries) I need to update to fix this?
Thanks!
Your skills probably outreach my own but I think its in values/colors.xml in either com.htc.resouces or systemui. Should be one of them if its a shared value.
This might be tough to track down. What Rom are you using? Do you notice it more in third party or market apps as opposed to system apps?

Sorry - I didn't realize how little info I included in my original post
I'm using CM7 nightlies and this is a Theme Chooser theme. I don't notice any pattern between system apps and non-system apps, but I've switched back to an older version of my theme for now.
I've been able to narrow it down to a point in time... I have one working version "before" and one broken version "after." Now I just need to comb through them to figure out what I changed... then evaluate each change to see which one caused this.

For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.
I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.
Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.

I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.
It's to do with the version of jbed on the phone there is a thread about Google Java app that says about this

Yea thats true..
so far i'm loving this rom, working a lot better than the last rom i tried. something i noticed, was same on warm 2.2, the android calender widget is unreadable for me. on warm 2.3 the font is white with white background. i've tried new fonts, no help. anyone know how i can fix this? please and thank you
Just seeing if I'm looking at the proper widget, is it either of these two? Cuz I use HTC's widget.

yes, the one on the right
Gotcha, the issue is actually the widget itself. Since there's only been one release and active development is non-existent, bugs were left to us to find. I believe you'd have to edit the widget apk to display text in a different font. Unfortunately, I have no experience editing files so I can't walk you through it.
Edit: all I can do is offer up alternatives, line using the HTC widget (the 4x1 horizontal one) or trying a different app entirely like the superb "Jorte Calendar" which has a TON of customizations. It's available in the market.
i wanna thank you for your response, that calender seems to be doin what i want. got another question i hope someone might be able to help with. still on warm 2.3, all of a sudden the contact pix in the stock messaging app are gone. everywhere else they seem fine, just in messaging they disappeared. anyone else run into this? thoughts on how to fix?
i thought maybe another app caused it so i reflashed but after a day or so, same thing happened.
Hello Eveyone!!!
This is something I started for MIUI....but just got the Nex so I coundn't resist.
This will change your status bar, soft keys, and some blues to white.
A few things....
This is for AOKP TORO B27....haven't tried on anything else
Most of the stat_notify images done for framework and system apps.
For some reason TALK is not cooperating with me. Not third party apps.
If you have a free app that you would the notification done, let me know.
Ticker text is still white.....
Battery with w/ numbers is circle battery mod.
I hope to keep working on this on this theme and appreciate your feedback....just flash, you know the deal.

I'm trying to get this all transparent
Any ideas? or help even? Thank you in advance.
I'm not a dev, but this is pretty sexy Not trying to change anything, but that green unread icon might fit the theme a little better if it was blue. IMHO
The green icon is actually because its linked to gtalk showing that they are online or away
Are you making all screens transparent .... That would be rather dope .. I am assuming you would then have to have the option of color choices for words etc,
No, right now im just doing this mms for me, or anyone else who wanted to use it, and i just started themeing o i wouldnt know how to do that yet, im still learning
i want to try it, can you provide a download link? thanks
I'm down for this idea.

Attached is the zip, just flash in recovery, also for the transparency to work you have to enable black background in the mms settings
I am having this strage issue, I was able to flash it in recovery, I enable black background in settings. rebooted
But when I scroll a mms thread, it reverts back and forth to a black background, then back to a white background
Did a fix premission, but didn't fix the issue
any ideas how to fix this?
thanks
hi guys
i'm almost finished with my inverted youtube (black/blue). it looks for me great, and i included it as addon in my theme (aroma) yet.
But actually there is a little bug, which i'm not able to fix .
i found almost all bg's and textcolors in res (values/layout). mostly of mods and changes i made in values (resources).
for the moment i've the problem, that the text in settings is black on black background.
i'd like to leave the bg black, like it is and change the text color to blue. but i'm not able to find the textcolor code anywhere.
In my opinion this apk is like coded by lil childs. it's completley disordered. can't find the most of things i'm search for.
for me it look likes the textcolor for settings is taken from framework, but i can't find an external codetag. probably someone can take a look at it.
here you got 2 screens to see what i mean:
1st screen is in settings. there are only subtitles readable, because they're grey. but maintitle isn't readable. this only happens in settingsmenu
2nd screen is in menu, where can be conected with a tv. there, where i marked it red, i already introduced some text. is also black text. i think it's the same problem like in settings. the textcolor comes from framework, but how i told above, i can't find any external tex color code in values or anywhere.
