Customizing contacts app theme - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello,
I'm new to development on the android platform. I love cyanogenmod. I think it looks great. But I'm not sold on the contacts look. I would like to change it to a darker theme to match the rest of the phone. Black, dark gray, neon blue... Almost the same color palette that's used in the dialer app. My question is, does anyone know of a great tutorial on how to edit themes? Any information would be helpful. Like I said I am new to android development. But this is how I'm gonna learn. I get my hands dirty.
Thanks,
Throdne

New Theme Requests

Hi All,
As you know I was the one who brought you the Sensation Theme and more recently the New Senzation ROM. I am still working on that project, but honestly am getting bored with Blue and Green Themes.
Therefore I ask that you as a community recommend some different themes for me to try and port. Please include a link to the original.
Look forward to your ideas....
How about a dark purple and black theme? With no battery % or a gold and black theme..

Back in my HTC Hero days, there was a white and dark gray/ black theme called GTX and the exact opposite called XTG by signals23, also another was the Steel My Elegance theme from Gomorrah (sp?)... would be nice. Let me see if I can find any links.
Edit: Links added.

Its a green theme but not like the ones weve seen so far, so its a 50/50. The same person also made these 2. Well, ported anyways.
Emotionless Beast, one of my favorites from the OG Epic. Thanks.

Silver and Black would always be elegant. Just my .02 cents worth.
I will be coming out with a group of themes... and no, none of them are green or blue In about a month I would suppose.. maybe sooner.
I would love something with pastel colors (not girly, just pastel). Don't just focus on one or two colors, try three at minimum. I've always imagined a theme along the lines of this Kirby game. Without all the super bezeled/embossed stuff, too, because too much starts to look tacky
I'd also love a darker grey theme (with very delicate gradients) with accents of light orange, lighter red, and mustard yellow, etc.
Maybe a theme with the statusbar on the bottom of the screen
Man I've been photoshopping for ages, I need to just learn to theme for myself
I would love to see a theme with deep purple, bright turquoise, and hot pink on black. It looks tropical and awesome in my Hancent app.
Something multi-colorful...I agree about the three or more colors idea.
I like the silver on black idea though, but silver is metallic and would have to appear dimensional in order to truly look silvery. Something like the ObsidianAlloy clock theme of Beautiful Widgets. Otherwise it would basically be black and light gray.
Thanks for being open to input from others!
I would like to see a matte/carbon fiber theme (with maybe some very minor silver accents). I think it would give it a real simple, and elegant look.
Similar to this Matted blues theme but with Carbon Fiber/silver accents instead of blue.
Grey with turquoise would be sweet

Theme Information
Hello Everyone,
Just to reiterate I am not a themer myself, I am just a glorified copy/paste specialist. Therefore what I am looking for is existing themes from other android device that I can port over. So far I have seen a few and looking for more to help decide. Thanks.
How about something like this without the battery % http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445494

I would LOVE to see these ported. These themes are to die for in my opinion. Although they have green/blue, they also have orange/red. The orange one revamped would be AWESOME. Especially if you made a lot more items orange accented and darkened the orange just a tad so it stands out.

[Q] changing colors

I was wondering if you can change the color of the site to something dark. I know you can change it from white to yellow, I believe it's classic & modern. I thought there was a dark with light text a while ago. maybe that was a different forum. Seem to be on this forum a lot lately and the on screen time is killing my battery. Just wondering. Please & thank you

If you are using the XDA Premium app, then you can change the theme, also XDA as a whole is surpose to be getting a new look this year, this might include some theme options.
Does the premium have a dark theme?

Help me to find white/pink girly theme

Help me to customize CM9 on Nitro so I can give it for BD to my mom. I don't like dark black greyish default themes of CM9. The mostly similar for what I need is marshmallow from official LG ICS leak or similar. No dark tones, only bright yellowish, cucumber green, pick, rosy etc PLEASE
There is a major cm9 theme thread in android forum. Go take a look over there. It's like 200+

[ Theme REQ ] - Tron Legacy Theme for P.A. on the N4

I've tried to search for a Tron-style theme specifically for the N4, but to no avail. So, here goes. I'm looking to Digitize my N4 into the Tron world. I'd like to change Icons, menus, app drawer, keyboard, everything that can be themed. I have a wallpaper for inspiration and would love to see something come from this. I'm using Paranoid's Recent Rom update if that's important
I would love to see a theme based on that image alone. I've already downloaded it and use it as my wall paper.
Thanks for this wallpaper looks so sick with this theme (5UBZ3R0). Kinda looks close to what you want IMO.

If you have photoshop its pretty easy to make your own themes. Time consuming, but pretty easy. Go to http://mycolorscreen.com/ for some good idea.
Me too ! I'd love to see a holo Tron theme. Holo is a good begining since it has a lot of neon line. But you have too put more blue neon and swag blue icons.... With PA you can do a lot of things too. I love this wallpaper !
Closest I can suggest is the Crystal2 theme. Pretty tron styled to me

Maybe try ctOS? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEwMiwiY29tLnJhbWF6b3IudGhlbWUuZnJlZWN0b3MiXQ..
@ Nighthawk, That theme looks sick, but I'm trying to find a theme that includes the Tron Font as well.
As to learning how to theme, I'm not really sure how or where to begin. I don't have PS, so that kinda kills the idea right there. =/
Glad I could help you with the Wallpaper. It is pretty awesome. At the end of the movie I saw that background and wanted it on my old phone. I searched everywhere to find it, but all I could find were pics of the Grid and Actors. Nothing wrong with that, but I liked this 1 a lot more.

Stock Theme Store Question

Hopefully this is the right place for this thread....
I feel like I am looking for something so basic and I can't believe I cant find what I am looking for. I really just want a simple black and white theme for my Note 5.
In a perfect situation I would really just like the stock icons but all of the Headers and menus and sliders have a black and white theme to them. In a realistic world I would be fine if the icon pack was changed, but I just cant find anything this simple. All of them in the theme store try to do way too much, and many of the custom ones in the XDA Theme threads are really amazing, just way more than I am looking for. Have you seen any that seem to fit what I am looking for?
We have the same problem. I have been looking for a simple black theme for awhile now.

How about "White Tiger", "[MINU] White Dark" , "[MINU] White" from theme store. They are simple and free.
Note from Note V

Thanks for the response. White Tiger is a good example of trying to do too much, imo. Minu white dark has an error where notifications appear as white on white text, and they haven't fixed it yet....I hadn't seen minu white, so I'll give that one a run. Thanks!
Minu white is really close....the problem is that all of the shortcut text is black, so you need to have a light or white background....I like everything else on this theme well enough, but wish I could use a dark background...

Another one that is close, it has a greenish accent color instead of white. Otherwise it would be perfect, but as it is it is just close for me...
If you are still interested, I found one called "Fantasy_Dark_V2" that is ok. It changes the default icons, but they arent too annoying. Also, it is like $2 so there is that as well....still staying hopeful that I will find one!!

I just downloaded a few of those Eid themes to try out. The black and red one looks pretty slick, i like some of what they are doing. Thanks for the heads up!
If you really want no color at all, you can just set your screen to grayscale in Accessibility options. ☺
