Hi,
i'm having a strange problem on my GNex: The font in the context menu (e.g. when adding a widget in Apex Launcher) is black with a dark background. This happens with all launchers i have tested (Apex, Holo HD, Go Ex), so i don't think it is a theming issue (or it is in google stock rom).
About the system: i have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM), and just flashed the factory image from google (Jelly Bean 4.1.1).
Is there anyone else with this problem, and is there a solution?

Have you tried Nova Launcher?
I haven't used apex launcher in awhile but I think there was a setting where you could change the color of fonts and background in their Look and Feel section. That might not be what is called but its something like that.

Hi shugo88, I'm running the latest version of Apex launcher and I have noticed this problem of black text on dark backgrounds in the direct selection (press and hold) menus. But the option of "Look and Feel" isn't there, but I'm sure I have seen it before. The dev must have removed it in an update
I was just about to post when I noticed it has gone! The text is now white. I flashed an AOKP ROM today (CM 10 based JellyBro) for another reason, so this must have fixed this glitch. Cool.
Have fun. Anil

hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.

I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.
Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything
Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.
hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF
This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.
I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)
I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.
Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )
Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?
I am currently running Darky Rom 9.5 with Crysis Revolution Theme. I love the the style of it and the themed launcher. The only thing I would like to change is the app drawer. It is currently horizontal scrolling and I would like to change it to vertical 3d app drawer. Unfortunately, there is no launcher specific setting to modify.
Does anyone know of a way to change this. I am guessing it would require to modify the apk or something similar.
what launcher is it ??
have you opened the app drawer and pressed the menu button and see if the option is there ?
it is for some launchers
It looks to be a tweaked version of TWLauncher. I looked, but there is no specific settings or or preferences for the launcher. I was hoping there was because that would have been the easy solution. Thje only launcher that I have found to have this option is just called launcher. I am guessing that it is a ported version of the stock Froyo or Gingerbread launcher.
you can't change this in the app, but instead you can use the gingi launcher. It won;t have 5 dock bar and transparency but still... I recommend Go Launcher.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has that issue in JellyBean.
The popup to choose widgets has black text on a black background which makes it difficult to see the list.
I use a custom rom : Android Revolution HD 6.0.0.
blame the custom rom.
I posted in the ROM's thread here is the answer I got:
It seems to be on all JB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29403345&postcount=5854
oh it is rom related.
the launcher they are using does not have the correct colors for JB.
the stock JB launcher, does not allow you to choose widgets in that way.
So, it is related to Apex Launcher then ?
I get normal white text on a dark grey bg on PA 1.9.1 and the Apex launcher.
Hye everyone,
I ran into an issue\bug and I wanted to see if anyone has ran into it or has found a workaround. Using Apex stable paid, I was able to use a a tabletui mode (no settings change) WITH the icons showing text for the app. See attached
When I updated to APex Beta3, there is a new setting called TabletUI mode in Apex tat must be enabled to use Tablet UI. Unfortunately, whenever I turn that option on, I lose all the text for my homescreen icons (see attached)
Anyone find a fix for this? Ive already email Apex support but havent heard back yet

There are no pics.
There is an option at the bottom of the home screen option Page to hide text.... Is that checked?

It may have to do with the grid size you're using. I believe anything over 7 x 7 will turn off icon/app text.
Where are you finding that Tablet setting up in the beta?

I am using a 5x6, so the text should show fine. The strange thing is its fine beta 2 and below, its beta3 that brought the problems. One pic has tabletUI disabled (wuith text), the other (missing Text) has tabletUI enabled in APex settings
EDIT: added pics to OP.
Hey guys,
I noticed that when I go into expanded desktop mode on Pa beta8v2 there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen. It kinda cuts off at the middle of the icons and was wondering if there is a way to make the wallpaper go all the way down. Thanks in advance
its a issue with the launcher that you're using.
depending on what launcher it is (apex, nova, etc) update it to the latest
something that came with rom -> update your rom
I have it also on Nova Luncher, on Go Luncher and on CM10 luncher also :/
all 3 are cutting the photo and showing the icons that way .
Yea I just checked and it doesn't happen with the default launcher. That's a disappointment..... Hope they patch that up.
