Start Menu Backround Color

Hey I did a quick search and found a way to set the background wallpaper of the start menu, but is there an easy way to just change the color? IE: I want to change it to black or gradient black

you can't really change it to any color, as the startmenu-background is a plain white bitmap-fil, and not an internal color. see my thread below (changing internal images-thread), there i wrote about the reg-key where to thange this image.)

Think it's been covered

Theme help - 6.1

Hello - I am using the Kavana 6.1 ROM with the default sliding screen. I would like to use a photo collage for my background image, however the screen fonts are too white and bright for it. I have adjusted the image as much as I can to still be viewable and it helps a little.
I would like to know if there is anyway to change the color of the display fonts on the home screen - e.g. change the clock and other text to a darker color or have them outlined in shadow so they stand out against my background.
Thank you.

you can change font color in the scheme.xml files using hex color codes. As for as i know, you can't add a shadow though. the scheme file will change the font color for the whole homescreen, not indivivual text, so you have to choose a color for all text on there.
If you search, you can also find some apps( for phone and for pc) that will change the font color for you plus all the other colors you want to change.

thank you very much.

[Theme] Alternative of bluestar 5

Thanks for Stericson's Transparent Tab and Icons and Manup's Icons and Status Bar. Here are some screenshots...See if anybody wants it then I will redo a update seriously...
I change the program title from grey to black and some colour tuning for status icons, the battery icon will also show as light blue and light yellow with shadow respectively

I actually really like this. The only thing I hope you can change is the menu tab. I prefer it visible, apparently unlike everyone else. I don't like the blank gap at the bottom of the screen, and I like to see the tab to re-assure me that it's there and that I clicked/dragged it.

Hey not 2 shabby

I Want It!!!!

Out of curiosity, why do several of the menu bars have diagonal lines on them? Is this an issue with resolution? I know the Stericson's first one didn't have it, but the new one does.

That's the image. It's supposed to be there.

Samsung Focus Spotted Running Mango?

Hey guys I just got a great tip from an anonymous email. Picture of a Samsung Focus possibly running Mango.

Happy April Fools Day!

April Fails

that pic is out of focus.

my question is...what theme are they using? I have a focus and theres no blue that looks that dark on my screen (and there was a before pic too)
did they do the hack to set custom colors?
speaking of which, a full color wheel for custom accent colors is something I hope MS adds

After having custom colours, you start to realise why MS hasn't added this.
Only certain colours work well with the tiles with the white text, anything too light and the text can't be read, anything too dark and the theme text can't be viewed on the dark background like on the volume display.
Sure you could change tile fonts to black but that looks unprofessional with the black background and white text everywhere else.

true...I didn't think about that. But at the very least, I hope they add more options. There are several options but only a handful that I find I like...there are certainly more colors that would work

[Q] want G3's icon pack either all round or square and same color background

I'm not a developer and have no idea of how to make my own icon pack so here I go with my request to the themers I guess?
I want the same icon pack that comes with the G3 but all the icons either square or round or both.
The second request is that the background for all app has to be either that beige or whatever color it is or that green-blueish of the G3s widget. For example the same green P_toti used for his G3tweaksbox icon (both color options would be great!). Picture attached
Idk how hard is this to create but I'm willing to pay if not too pricey. By the way I'd like too keep the icon details like the white and the shade on the message app and the white and black the G3tweaksbox app.
Thanks!

please! or at least tell me how can I start experimenting with editing icons or creating my own
