What theme do you use

What Windows Phone 7 theme do you use?
Would be interesting to see what combination is the most popular

That'd be a pretty cool theme. Would probably look like the email theme.

I have not decided on one yet but its interesting to see the votes though.

I personally swap, lean abit more to orange (which is what I voted for) but would swap to blue when I'm feeling like it lol.

I'm using "HTC" on black.
I found the green HTC theme better than other green.

I'll be using Red on Black!

Just pushing this thread back up since WP7 will be coming out in the states this week, and hopefully would push the total votes up

Pushing again, same reason as my last post

orange on black atm, cant wait untill its possible to use custom colors and do black on black

agree, black&white and/or greys would be great.
on another note during day i almost always use the white design and after sunset/when its dark i switch to the dark design.
i would have never thougt i would actually take the hassle of switching back and fort but somehow the two designs are really practical in different lightning conditions. I really appreciate microsoft included both options; one of the features which tunred out to be super usefull on WP7 enabled phones

Teal on Black here
Teal is like Blue, but stylish Try it

any chance that in a future update.. i might be able to have a little bit more variety in my colors?? don't get me wrong.. the "core" colors are pretty much there...but they completely forgot about other major colors... such as yellow, grey, white, black (as a tile color not the background... in case you're completely oblivious to the obvious) etc... it doesn't seem like something that would be that hard to minclude in an update.. yet it seems very elementary that it would be forgotten at launch

I think a colour selection wheel for the tiles would be awesome.
I'm using green on black because it's the most power-saving combination for SAMOLED-screens but I'd like to try grey on black or maybe gold on black.

I thought Id like green on black, but i tried red on black (which i originally thought was too strong a color) and it works surprisingly well

Push. Incase theres more peeps who recently received their WP7 device.

Just FYI,
For the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 or any device using Amoled screen.
Do not use:
- White background, it takes 3 times the power of normal LCD to produce white.
- Red theme, it makes characters look more pixelated and the edges of tiles grainy.
- Blue theme, blue color dies first in Amoled screens.
Do use:
- Black background, it uses the least power and much much less than a LCD.
- Green/lime would be your best bet since the fonts and tiles look much more clear and crisp because of the double pixels/saturation on green color.

[ROM] DalerROM & NikitaROM. 14/3 - Schemes Added. Blue? Green? Red? Grey? Orange?

Hi guys & gals,
In a span of 23 years of architectural practice, I have come to realise that different age groups relish/appreciate different color groups. Elderly people would love to have softer paler colors while pre-teens & teens are open to any color & any mix of colors. While men prefer warmer ones, Women prefer pinks, pastels, magentas & mauves.
Each age group/sex tends to prefer a certain part of android market/life.
Before I finalize my two ROMs, I am now taking requests from anybody/everybody what they would prefer. You also need to mention your age, sex & profession.
I am NOT asking for firmware requests or theme requests. I am asking for color requests + if possible how & in what way you you use your SGS best.
14/3 - I have short-listed a few color schemes for you.
1 - All Greys.
2 - Light Pink + Blue.
3 - Seagreen + Navy Blue.
4 - Yellow + Dark Greys.
5 - Orange + Deep Red.
What do you say?

Monochrome is the best!
I always use a black background en white symbols, .. my agenda, clock, shortcuts and even the weather is in white!
And if it has to be a color, the sgs suits the color blue pretty well, .. meaning man and woman would/could adore it!
Hope to see some of your work soon!

I'm young and would prefer a dark theme simply because it would save battery life on SAMOLED.

Good idea there mate. I am a teen reaching adulthood, male, and I like lighter, relaxed color scheme. Think Go Launcher "cartoon" theme or MIUI. It's nice and the graphics looks consistent. I like more flat, than 3D. Think Gingerbread instead of Froyo. I always like my homescreen to be colourful, basically combination of cyan, orange and green.

Hey ragin.
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Preference: Usually a noir style; blacks, whites and greys (sorta like R64's theme). Also like a combination of black, navy blue or sky blue.

20 Male
I like black with gray and white + (not light) blue or green. Gingerbread for example is really nice. To say it simpler:
1 color + black and white and gray.

35 male
Black, green, orange. Sharp lines more than curved.

45 male
I like darker colors and not very easy.

I'm 22 years old, and I prefer strong colors: red, black, white.

20 male, I like neon futuristic type colours...i.e. The neon green in Jumbas NeonGT theme. Neon blue would also be a cool colour to incorporate.

50+
male
it management
I prefer FULL colour menus, in ALL menus, single colour themes make a phone bland, like a cheap rip off.
I like things to stand out, be very clear and clinical, I like sharp clean text lines, I am not a lover of the Doctor type fonts where you have to figure out the wording ;-)
And no I am not going blind or the likes due to my age But for those that remember the old green screen days, to be able to see and use FULL colour makes a big difference, reds and yellows give you a clue that the options have consequences, colour has many visual properties that allow the brain to see information in colour before you read the text, and using monochromatic schemes loose that impact and functionality

These are my colours as well, using mostly black though. 29 M business management. A note though: any and all colours can be attractive to anyone (I believe)....the secret is the balance and combinations between them. I have been surprised myself when I've seen certain things that contain not my first choice of colours but looked good to me nonetheless because someone did a good job mixing them

this thread I think that is better located in the themes forum...
colors = themes != development
about the initial question... I´m 30 years old and I prefer a green, blue, orange colors for highlights (icons, buttons, ...) over a gray scale base.. light or dark.. indiferent

i now see its impossible to please everyone . People have so many different choices.

Well, this is becoming a large pallette to configure, I think I will sort the replies & try to organize the requests onto 3-4 catagories. Let's see how this turns out.
Thanks to everyone who have answered. Your replies will definately help me.
To others, keep posting.

I prefer matte and clean colours. Matte blue, green, red (and burgundy), dark and light grey are all nice colours in a UI. I don't like the Windows Vista and HTC Sense glossy style on the interface.
Male, 18 years old.

Im male, 18, and i would love a black/navy blue combination, or a dark silver instead of black.
U should make a poll with the 3 most loved colors or smthing.

[Q] LED Notification light defective??

The other day I noticed that my once stock white colored notification LED was acting strangely. It now is multicolored and seems to have a slight flicker when it goes off. I went through Samsung US support steps, removed apps, then full factory reset. Still same problem. I installed Light Flow and tested all colors. Most work but still with a bit of a flicker. White is not working. It displays in three colors, yellow pink and green/blue? I suppose my LED has broken. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution? Samsung US will not support the repair as it is an international GSM phone.
Thank you.

Yeah white isn't really white, its a combination of three colors. Its normal.. no biggie
Well mine is also like that..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I have had my phone since January and it was always a white notification. My old Nexus One was also always a plain white notification. I am pretty sure thats what stock Android intends it to be. The multicolored just started. Either way Light Flow when set to White should display a white notification but it cannot. I am almost certain my LED is defective. Anyone else?

As proved by Newton:
White light is the effect of combining the visible colors of light in suitable proportions (the same present in solar light).

Ok, so... no help here. Thanks anyway, guys.
I sure wish my LED could be fixed. <head down>

Everything you describe is normal.
You probably just never noticed it before.

I actually did notice it and that is why I have posted here. The notification light is supposed to be white. Not multicolored. I know this phone like the back of my hand. The led has changed.

Mine has been like exactly what you've described on both Nexus' that I've owned.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It's a tri-colored LED (red, green, blue).
It displays different colors by mixing those 3 primary colors.
To get white, it mixes all 3.
The 3 LED's aren't close enough together, so around the edges you'll see the individual colors, but in the center it will appear white.
At certain distances/angles/lighting conditions, it can appear almost fully white.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDrYDjXThLc
If you insist that it was pure white before, then somehow you had a white LED and it has transformed into a RGB LED.
I'm pretty sure no Galaxy Nexus's were shipped with a white LED, and certainly not ones that can transform.

AFAIK
The notification LED at the bottom of the phone has always been a 3 color LED. Red, green and blue. To get white it turns on all 3. Other colors are variations on a theme.

Thank you, terryhau.
My notification light does not look like it does in that video. It is now mostly pink with a green hue no the bottom portion and a purple/blue color in the top left hand portion. It DID NOT used to be like this.
I guess I need to post a pic somehow.

Maybe something like an update or .apk has changed the behavior of the LEDs like reduced the output which would explain why you now see all 3 colors instead of white.

I did a full factory reset hoping that may be the case. No luck. This hasn't happened to anyone else?

The video shows that it is not pure white, but a mixture of colors. Kind of hard to see because of the bad camera.

Yes. And in the video it shows what my led looked like about three days ago. It no longer displays that way. Now the three colors are glaringly obvious with a bit of a flicker as it fades out.

I am having the same issue. I have a galaxy nexus from sprint and the play store. the sprint one is perfect. all colors requiring a mix of colors show perfectly like pink, magenta, lime etc. However the play one does not. its almost like its off center so with lime you will see a bit of green and then orange on one side. Pink is slightly pink on one section then almost white every where else. Purple is purple and then has a nice section of blue on one edge.
So my question is those who have replaced your screen is the led attached to it or is it part of the speaker daughter board?

My led is darned close to white (accepting Newton's physical laws etc.). I'm thinking that if yours has changed then perhaps it's damaged, but perhaps your rom settings have (been) changed and your notification colour is now set differently (by default). What rom are you using?
I'm using CM9, which nominally allows me to have notifications in different colours for different apps. I find when I pick colours from the chooser, though I'm meant to have complete control over the colour, in reality I can get white, red, blue, green, and different rotations of rainbows.
Clarification: when I say I can get 'red, blue, and green', I mean properly: I get a solid circle of whichever one of those colours I'm aiming for. But anything else (e.g. yellow, orange, cyan, magenta, lilac, etc.) will be a the chosen colour in a small part of the circle, and an array of all the other colours elsewhere in the rest of the circle.

i can get all those colors too... but only on a portion of the window. white will show green, blue and pink on the side.. but not just around the edges. I think this is what the OP was talking about. I honestly do not think its a software issue as i am running lightflow on both of my nexus's and one is has run cm9 and AOKP witht he same results. It has to be a hardware issue. So if any one can answer this, is the LED attached to the screen or the lower speaker daughter board?

To match the colours, it's really upto you how you think of it. I actually have the blue and i find it quite hard to find a perfect match with most lite colours cases, with blue it mostly grey, black, silver, brown, blue and similar dark colours, whiles the white S3 can match with many lite and dark colours.
I'll be getting a white S3 soon, so i'll have two.
already have about 9 cases, mostly dark and transparent colours.

As the person above stated, a white S3 will basically go with anything while certain colors look good for the blue. Don't let that be a deciding factor though since there are a lot of good looking cases that match the blue s3. I roll with a blue s3 cause it looks good.

What I do notice is that 99% of all accesoires are displayed with the white version. I have the blue one and sometimes it is hard to think if it matches the case. Nonetheless the blue color is very nice.

yeh, all adverts, photo's and reviews all use the white unit.

Simple, as stated above, white goes with everything, blue doesn't. I've had blue phones in the past and won't do it again. Regardless, the blue is still a good looking phone.

Question White Colour

Hi,
Got my White P6P from EE last week and have noticed that mine is "full" white, ie top part is not grey!? Was kinda looking forward top seeing the contrast, I havent seen the full white advertised anywhere.
What you got? Grey or white up top?

Yes.I don't get why they do that. Grey would look really nice. I wonder how the yellow looks?

I posted this on Reddit. https://redd.it/qgk8ch
I don't like the off white color, it looks almost very light pink to me. In bright light you can see the different top color.

Yea i like it, but then i like colours that are slightly different to the norm. I work in car sales and everyone gets black, white, silver or grey whereas i like the yellows, turquoise etc lol. Same with phones, black and white are nice but why go with everyone else?
