Guys and Gals
One of the things I like about the Touch HD is the Black case and buttons, I'm quite a minimalist at heart. I installed Max Manila to reduce the number of buttons and icons on the screen and have installed the Black Metal top line icons.
However in peoples opinion which is the best black and white theme? If you could include screenshots or a link to a thread I'd be grateful.
Regards
gtx sense without a doubt.

shame developement has been stopped. someone else has taken over the project and has made some changes but the original is my favourite. there arent really any problems with it in its current state
Sorry I should have been clearer, GTX is a really nice theme but it's too white. If there was an inverted version of it I would have been very close!!
what about just plain old manila 2/2.1 or even the stock version?
I decided to have a bash at simple theming by combining two of my favourite themes; Steel Blue by BMWPokerAce (originally by Team Carbon) & CirclesMod by Hooolm. I was browsing Hooolm's webspace and noticed that he'd updated his green version of CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 but hadn't updated his thread to reflect this, nor had he had any requests for a blue version.
He's been a little preoccupied with family issues recently (hope all is ok, Hooolm ) and so I didn't want to trouble him by asking for a blue version. So, I made one myself by grabbing all of the blue iconography from the most recent CirclesMod for VillianRom 2.42 and jacking them into the green version of Cognition 1.5. It took a few attempts to get it right and I had to fix a couple of leftover green things (from the switches in the pull-down menu, it seems Cognition has a switch that Villian doesn't have) and voilà, we have a blue CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 attached below.
Not completely satisfied, I decided to combine the pull-down menu switches from Steel Blue as I preferred them and they go rather well with CirclesMod I think. I also incorporated the blue Android background for this menu too. Everything else is as CirclesMod.
If either original author has any issues with me using their work or iconography, please PM me and I'll remove immediately.

If you don't know what either of those things are, don't download anything from this thread until you have learned the basics. I am not responsible for damage to your device due to your own ineptitude/inability to read or assimilate information. No requests will be entertained for different ROMs. I'm using Cognition by designgears and as such will only be messing around with themes for this ROM range.
[Update 4/9/11] I've been messing around with the new KLoNe Technologies theme as I'm quite impressed by it even if it doesn't look much like the screenshots in KLoNe1's thread I decided to add a couple of elements from the Steel Blue theme, specifically the pull-down background and the switches too, much like I did with CirclesMod. I'm quite pleased with the result and think that the theme gels well.
Cognition 1.5 themes are also compatible with Cognition 1.51. Click the links above each pic to download or the pics themselves.

thank you for responding !
the status bar is not dark black (color is: black mix with silver)
But on screenshot is dark black
Yes, on your screenshot it is black also. On my device, it is black/silver gradient. Probably an issue with the screen grabbing software.
Edit: No, I'm wrong. Your screenshot shows it as black and silver but so do mine! Are you looking at the screenshots with an LCD monitor? Try adjusting your viewing angle. On my Sony Vaio, I have to adjust the screen angle to see the gradient properly
Just to let you know Team Carbon made Steel Blue originally, BMWPokerAce ported it.
EDIT: Great work all the same.
Ta. Edited my OP for credits.
Looks good, well done
If your screenshot in the OP is current, you've included the quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png from my green Cognition mod, which is a shame, when I've actually got a blue one
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png
...is a straight up no nonsense replacement for the one seen in your screenshot.
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png
...is the one you should use if you're editing by actually decompiling SystemUI.apk. That way, scalability and fill info is compiled into SystemUI.apk (in other words, the quickpanel background is scaled properly and the dividers aren't )
Thanks mate. I was keeping it simple just by copying images between zip files rather than decompiling. Now you seem to be back posting again, I'll defer to you for the blue versions of CirclesMod and just concentrate on my hybrid version
in 1st screenshot .. what clock widget are you using because I like it and I want it
Very nice, good addition to the cog rom 1.51

The clock looks like beautiful widgets which is paid for, however fancy widgets does the same job and refresh is more customizable, screen shot and link below.
Mine is showing with widget transparency full...

It's actually this one. The rather imaginatively titled "Weather Widgets".

Hey guys, I've been looking for a while for a nice white theme for my white SGS3...no luck so far.
When I say a white theme, I dont mean black with white text, I mean white with black or blue or purple text.
An amazing example would be from the Samsung S2x, Master & Slave has a rom called Tuesday with an incredible white theme to it.
Is it possible to port this with the authors permission? Does anyone have a similar theme?
Heres a link to his thread:

There's one in the play store, he makes pretty good themes; it is paid though, but reasonable in price. Here's the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zb25ueS50aGVtZS5mcm9zdCJd
there are also two called dreamsicle and ghost, they're paid in the play store but there's a thread here on xda somewhere where the themer has the apks uploaded.
sent from my I747
im looking for the same, please let me know if you find a complete white theme. Until then, i found that this rom looked very close to what i was looking for. Many areas of the theme can be tweaked as well to your liking.

Greetings, my question is regarding the thread title, also referring to my screenshot (noticing the apps titles are in black colour)
Before I start my explanation, I should mention the source of this stock 5.0 theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/themes-lg-g3-lg-home-t2887118
(It's originally from @Cloudyfa)
So my request being a guide to change the black colour apps text back to normal white. Can anyone pls guide me how to edit the colour coding in the theme apk or whichever procedure that I should follow? I do not have deep knowledge on the coding but I can decompile and edit apk at the very least.
Thanks
Hello all,
(This doesn't seem to be related to the Xenforo update so I'm posting it here)
Not sure why no one was talking about this, but the color scheme changed from orange and dark orange to red and blue, and blue throughout the website. All of the themes (light, dark, classic, community) has changed colors.
IMO, the new color scheme makes XDA not so special anymore, since it is one of the few big forums that are using orange as the main color (besides from Ubuntu forums). And the blue color feels "off" and alien to me, while orange feels more at home.
Is there a way to revert the change with a theme or such? And what are your opinions on the new color scheme?
(By the way, the new XDA logo has red on the left and blue on the right, which makes them look misaligned on most screens. The red looks like it's higher than the blue one.)

How can we make the XDA forums better?
I figured since we turned this forum into a Questions forum with up and down voting for each answer, I'd ask: How can we make the XDA forums better? No answer is too outlandish...be creative. We're listening! Maybe you think we have too many...
