Is it possible to change the dark (almost black) backgrounds on menus that CM7 has to be light (almost white) of the Sense ROMS? For example in a Sense ROM if I click on the menu button while at the home screen, the icons have a white background. In CM7 it is a black background, and I would like a white background.
Is this something the UOT Kitchen can do?
thanks.

This is a feature of Android 2.3+ for AMOLED devices. The fewer pixels that are "lit up" on an AMOLED device, the less power it consumes.
If you want the OLD white background menus, you should use an Android 2.2 or lower system image, or have some fun haxing the ROM.

Why not try a theme? I assume you're running a CM ROM. The theme in my signature (JAMT white gradient) has the white menu you're referring to... here's the direct link to the free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cgas.jamtwg.free&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5jZ2FzLmphbXR3Zy5mcmVlIl0. But the paid version also themes the dialer white.
Thanks, will try it. I didn't really know how to change it, so I asked.

I flashed my S620 back to WM5, copied off the Blue Windows Default XML theme & JPG, renamed to stop it clashing with WM6.
Now i've reflashed back to WM6 and have my old default blue theme, including the WM6 gradient effects on the soft buttons etc.
It looks pretty good if you're not a fan of the new pale green theme.
Enjoy.

I'm actually looking for just color schemes
(*.scheme.xml)
this bright HTC green is getting annoying but I like the layout of the HTC home screen...

You can edit the original home screen to include the color theme and background image of your choice.

Why isn't the notification bar black to? wouldn't that help also?
yeah. thanks going to work on it now
It is my understanding that with a LCD screen that is back-light (such as your phone, and any LCD screen that I am aware of) black is harder on the battery because it has to block the most light from passing through the film. Therefore, you are having the opposite effect you desire, white would be the most efficient (or some other bright color) as it has to use less energy to darken the screen and can allow more of the back light to shine through. But I don't know everything...
i see...... i will create an all white theme for you guys than
But black looks better! My phone is decked out in black and blue, white would be god-awful to look at (even the stock grey is obnoxious). So, I say, continue on your quest for a black based theme, but instead of calling it energy efficient, just call it black.
Check this article out for some details to the power usage differences between CRT's and LCD's.
its funny... i have an all black background some apps and i turn my brightness all the way down to have it as dark as possible... mind you i have a white g1... haha
i see.. i will change the post's name if i can.... i create custom themes if you want me to create a theme just for tell me maybe we can work out a deal

Hi
I'm running the RC Mix S rom on a HTC Desire. I'd like to theme a new overscroll colour to better match the blue colour predominantly used in SenseUI in loadingbars and when pressing icon etc.
Is there any way to find the exact colour code for use in UOT?
You could screen shot it and find out that way.

Hi there devs
so i have a simple request (i think) i would like a white theme that is just like stock ICS... so leave all the blue, and such, just turn the black into white (with the exception of the nav bar and status bar) everything else, either white or a light grey (kinda like MIUI is but except having the orange have the stock ICS blue, i would go to MIUI but 1. i hate orange, and 2, i have market place issues with MIUI)
i really hope someone can take on this project and do this for me... i knwo alot of other users might like the same thing...
thanks in advance, and of course donations will be given for the hard work
Like this?
If so you can download that from Nitroz, HERE
No... I don't want the blue accent changed to white. I want all the current black backgrounds white/light grey. Etc. You go into settings the whole background is black. I want white/light grey.
And I want the icons to stay ics stock. Not to change.
Get what I mean?

Doesn't exactly meet your criteria but this is the closest to white you're gonna get: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20805-th...-formerly-known-as-un-blacked-out-by-bgill55/
Also, this Sense 4 theme (which I use and love) is going to be released in white (apparently) so check it out and stick about for more updates if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548618
and ya i saw that ghost one... dont like that at all... like i said above, looking for the exact same thing as AOSP black but for someone to turn the menu backgrounds (eg settings) into white...
ya i am using the sense theme now. i like it, but wanting to try the white one... but i dont like the green of it... hence why i would like what i mentioned above made... i'm sure there are plenty out there looking for AOSP white holo...
I second this. Black is nice, but its nice to have a white based theme. Not completely white. Just white menus, and stock ICS apps that look right with white and respective font color to meet the white.
exactly! so like the contact app is right now.... when you open it it was a white/light grey... i want that everywhere like in the setting... that background in the setting screen, call log, dial pad, etc etc etc but leaving the blue ICS signal meter , etc, etc as it is
I want a white theme too
I want white on my nav bar around the buttons.

That challenge would be incredibly difficult. I think BGill's theme is the closest you're going to get from a guy who started Android theming.
that makes me sad and im sure alot of others... do you got a link to that theme you are refering to?...

Download themes from the market. Its the same as cm7 only the theme chooser is in the settings instead of apps.
