Hey all!
So back when I owned a Nexus S, someone made black versions of SMS and Gmail to appease the amoled screen, and the fact that it uses less power when switched to black.
So I have a question for you all... would you like to see these applications (and possibly more) dressed in black?
Opinions below!

Pure black with cyan or blue accents, and I would be on that like white on rice

I couldn't agree more on your vision of what these apps could look like. It would be perfect. And they would look very smooth, visually.

Absolutely agree with the other poster that black with the blue highlights would be REALLY nice. Why they didn't match them to ICS is ... odd.

would look great

Exactly... right around that idea would be perfect. If any of you have an older Gingerbread phone, I could upload the black apks I have sitting in my computer. Maybe we could check those out and get an idea of how to do this.

Heck yes!!
I hate all the white in Gmail and other apps.
I'd drive 60 mph on a Jet Ski in golf ball size hail for a black themed GMail app.

Thanks! Installed and working great.
Quick question, when we install these modified apps, can we still pull the updates to the apps? Like if for some reason the gmail app is updated and we're using the modified version, we can still download the update, it would just overwrite our modified app, right?

Cancel that. My Send button is gone, as well as my options to Reply All and Forward.
I tried this but it makes it almost impossible to tap the check mark so you can take multiple emails .. and any coloured html mail graphics look .. sub-optimal. I'd LOVE a blacked out version but the one at the link above is just not usable as a daily driver.
Does this work with Jelly Bean?
anybody willing to take this clock widget

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

Ya man no problem. I'll do a semi transparent background with a slight blue gradient and ICS hands.
Done I liked it a lot, so i also made one that matches my theme.

I added that version to the post with the other clocks. I put it at the bottom of the screen to demonstrate transparency.
Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color
Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.
Thanx

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.
Thanks so much man for the reply! Here's the link. I hate white on the black and blue ics theme. If this XML code is easy to find, I wouldn't kill you of you made the red and white on the popcorn blue and black

Also your sig is beautiful. Do you have different color themes?

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.
Yes that massive big blue thing

I'll remove it and sexify the bg instead. Should be done in 2 min.
Ohai there flixster

@all themers out there:
i am on KitSlim Evo9, this ROM is great but the background of the settings menu isn´t very nice (white).
My question: how can i change the background color of it?
I googled a lot but didn´t find something helpful.
I have experience in compiling and decompiling apk´s so this is not the problem.
Thx for your help.
m.
See this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667081, or just grab a "Dark" one from the Themes and Apps section.
In order android versions u could change background by replacing semc_bg or semc background or just background depends on rom. Those files are located in drawable (xhdpi, hdpi etc) inside framework-res

[*]Download themes for your Phone, for other Phones too even and compare the res folders and screen shots of the theme as that will give you a good idea of what image you need to look for when modding your own apks.

Specifically I mean the little arrow when selecting text, the bar on the brightness bar, your profile picture in the drop down menu, the phone app, contacts app, etc.
I'm trying to build a themed home screen and I need the exact code to make matching colors if possible please. Thank you.
I found this
Want to share you creation after? I love that blue color and have been trying to think of ideas for theming some more stuff but I'm still learning
I have always liked this blue playstore!

I've always been partial to the old ICS blue for trim on a dark theme.
Hey man, just doenload the pic of pixel pulldown on pc and go to google, type hex code and a program will show that allows u to scan the pic

Thanks! I may share it if I have some new idea but for now my theme is just for the calendar widget. My old idea is no longer good (one I used on ICS) since I had day, time, and weather on my home screen which is now in a built in widget.
If you're looking for the Pixel specific blue then the hex is #4885ED. If it's just the blue in Nougat then I'm not sure. Pixels got a different shade of blue than everyone else.
Hello
I hate the white background in Google app is there a way to change the background to dark or just something other than white?

Not according to this...
https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/23/17045944/android-phone-dark-mode-update-promised
(apparently they did it accidentally once, but it was unintentional, and so put it back to only having a light mode).
That said, apparently lots of users liked it, so you never know, they might bring one out,
(and this article suggests that this may indeed be happening...)
https://thenextweb.com/apps/2018/02/23/google-android-dark-mode-night/
But currently it doesn't exist yet on the mobile version of google chrome. (so don't waste your time looking for a setting for it, as it isn't there)
