The email app looks good in the list view. It uses an oled friendly dark background. The email doesn't look as good when it is opened. I did notice an option for view settings that changes the color a bit. Does anyone know what it would take to get white text on a black background?

Sorry, dude. It took a lot longer to theme than I thought.
But I think I got it down SMASH.
Give this a shot. It should work, but I'm not the best themer on the planet. We may need to escalate this to someone better.
I am so stoked to hear how much you like it.

Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?

lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)

The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother

That little indent comes from contacts or google plus having sync on (i think). I did update the OP with something a little more tame lol (gray main screen background and white conversation background)

Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work. Last request I promise, but do you by chance have the stock mms apk with stock icon? Figure this would be the easiest request. I'm running nitroz's black exodus and just hate the all black mms

You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.
ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?
No idea how to do that. And I don't have a working computer right now

Thank you. And again I hope you didn't take any offense to that. I'm just picky about something I stare at majority of my day (as I'm sure we all are). Once I get a working computer I was thinking about learning how to theme as well

lol i hit thanks by mistake. No offense here- you do this long enough, you'll run into all types (and there's nothing wrong with being picky IMO as long as you aren't a jackass ) I'm too old to get pissed about android
You seem good at it though. Wanna become a teacher? Lol

No problem
All issues should be resolved. I still have a few ideas, but they're still in development for now
Dreaded FC is now fixed!
I really love your mod!
Is it possible to make one without the text shadow and where the bubbles touch each other (like in stock MMS.apk)?

Sure, no problem-I'll throw it together when I get back to my laptop tomorrow morning and post as an alternative. If like to add a black and blue version as well if time allows in the morning.

Hi all,
I'm trying to make some widget locker themes that have text in the background image. I was able to make a few with just the standard rounded corner rectangle outline that a lot of themes use and I was also able to get it to work with a black and red version of my text background. But for whatever reason, when I change the background up to be black and white, my text gets all jumbled. It gets stretched in the middle between two letters rather than the whole background stretching.
I have to be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I've follow both of the tutorials and understand have about five or six different themes that work, but for whatever reason this one with text is kicking my butt. Anybody else ever run into this?
Thanks,
Dave

Well,
I've made some progress with this. I messed around with the background image and found that the single black pixel placed at the top of the image is where widget locker stretches the image to fit the screen. My temporary solution was to off set the pixel to the left side of my text. The only side effect is that now my text isn't centered as I wanted it. Instead is now on the right side of my screen. It looks ok with the lock screen I am running, but I don't understand why it works with one background (being center) and not the other.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
Hi everyone. I'm trying to theme the dialer to match the contacts and MMS apps. But I'm having trouble modding some of the text. In the dialer, when i press the numbers, the number shows as white text (which blends in with the white background). Also, the white text appears in the Frequently Contacted section of the phone app as well. Please see the attached images.
Can anyone tell me which XML values do i need to edit to make the text appear dark (like ff000000)?
I've tried searching throughout the forums but couldn't find anything. Any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks!!!

I'm trying to build a theme for 4.4.2 using jedi elite as a base. My problem is I end up having a lot of menus that have black background but the text is black also.
I've been searching through framework-res.apk and systemui.apk and have come up with basically nothing.
If someone could help me out here that would be great.
I've attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about. It's basically any time I hit menu the background is black but then the text is black. The weird thing is, a lot of the other areas that have text are colored but certain ones aren't.
Nothing is where it belongs lol. I would pm a themer and ask. They are very helpful.
TWEAKED N3
I found the files I was looking for.
Hard to say exactly which ones. But instead of looking for ff000000 I found some xmls that referenced
Code:
@color/foreground_dark_inverse
Or something along those lines.
