Out of all the wonderful themes that are coming out i have yet to find anything that will allow us to change the text color for our apps on the home screen, like you can when using a diff launcher....is it possible for someone to make that possible thru aroma installer?

Hey guys i don't know if this has been posted yet, but i surfed around and couldn't get any info.
I edited a couple pictures off my comp to use them as background and now i realized for bright color'ed back grounds (ie. blue/white) they blend right in with the main screens *White font color, ya you know the clock etc..
it would help if we can set these color to black/blue/deep blue etc. vice versa, suprisingly htc never thought of this? or am i missing something here =/
changing themes don't seem to be doing much
FONTs....
System and TF3D are available and works from other devices.
Godzon has a nice selection but not all of his include system fonts.
Search for others....Install, if no likey...uninstall
Hope i have posted this in the right section because this is a themed related question

All these colors are in /res/values/style.xml
look for icon menu
list view
and any other menu instances that have that light grey, looks to be pretty close to white, maybe cccccc
make them black and youll be good to go.
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something

An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
I am not sure if this is in the right spot but it said Q&A so thinking its a good place to start. I am looking to find out if I can change the status bar icons to be colors. I amd running [JB:CM10:HYBRID][OFFICIAL]ParanoidAndroid 2.55 for T989[18 Nov 2012] (Love it btw) so I guess the best way to word this is I use go sms pro for txting and the icon that comes up when I get a txt is a very nice noticable green color and I know I have a txt in a quick glance, I also have the facebook app and when I get a notice from facebook its a white and so are my mail and all the other icons so it is hard tell the diffrents between them. so I was wonding if there was a way to change this or if there is a mod for it. if anyone needs more info I am happy to post it. Thank you
If you would like to modify some of the notification bar icons you would have to modify some images in the system framework of your phone which would be difficult if it's your first time.
The easier way to change them, is that since you're using a CM10 ROM you can try out some CM10 Themes from the Play Store. Click here to view all of the available themes.
All the themes will help you change the overall look of your phone, that includes the notification icons. You will just need to apply the themes with the Theme Chooser application. Cheers!
Can someone plz explain how i change the dialer color? Their is no actual option within the theme store to download dialer yet under personalisation in settings i have the option to select different dialer colors but only the default dialer is displayed? Regardless of how many themes i download...... How do i get various colors to present themselves as options under system settings/personalisation ??
Not sure about the option in settings (I've seen it there as well and have been puzzled), but you can make your own theme at https://themes.htc.com
The 'MAKER PRO' link lets you customise a lot of stuff including the dialer. You'll need an account, and once you've saved your theme, it will be available for you to download in the themes app under 'My Designs'.

But then ill be creating a whole new theme when iam happy with the theme i have. I just want to change the dialer. Iam not even sure if creating a whole new theme would work because i have downloaded other teams and expected that the dialer belong to those teams would be available under 'dialer color' but nope! I do not understand why the option to change dialer color is given when its starting to feel/seem it cannot be changed! Nobody commenting either suggests either nobody has a clue or nobody has even tried to change the dialer color ha
