All You XML Buffs Out There!!!!!

Is there a way to have the "Startbar" "Deskbar" a shiny black hue, similar to using Base Hue/greyscale, but having it pre-coded in the respective "scheme.xml"?
I would guess it would require changing some of the below values or adding new ones, but all i can get thus far is a medium grey. :-(
<colorscheme><title>N15H_HUD</title>
<scheme>
<color name="COLOR_HOMETEXT" value="#FFFFFF" />
<color name="COLOR_HOMERULE" value="#000000" />
<color name="COLOR_HIGHLIGHT" value="#0066CC" />
<color name="COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT" value="#000000" />
</scheme>
</colorscheme>

I'm not really sure what or how you're trying to do this, but if i'm following you right you could do something like this
Code:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/app_theme_background</item>
</style>
app_theme_background being your xml in drawable that defines the drawable/s
Here's the original xml from framework drawable (screen_background_selector_light.xml)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/screen_background_light" android:state_accelerated="false" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/background_holo_light" />
</selector>
'screen_background_light' or whatever you wish to name it...being your alternative hex color in values/drawables (guessing that's for slower devices or something)
'background_holo_light' or whatever you wish to name it being your alternative background image.

[How-to] Maximum StatusBar Brightness 4.4.2

[How-to] Maximum StatusBar Brightness 4.4.2
This guide is based on the KK 4.4.2 Galaxy S5 builds.
I noticed that Samsung always make the statusbar notification areas a bit dim. Probably to help with battery conservation.
This requires decompiling SystemUI.apk.
SystemUI/res/values/dimens.xml edit
Code:
Change these three lines
New values are in BLUE
<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]100.0%[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="dimen" name="system_icon_area_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]1.0[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="dimen" name="notification_icon_area_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]1.0[/COLOR]</item>
Note:
Screenshots are best viewed from a PC so you can rapidly swap images to see the difference.

Interesting, thanks sir.

[GUIDE] Color the status bar according to your app.

Add this code to your styles.xml in res>values (API 21+ only)
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- This controls status bar color -->
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#B86E00</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#FF9800</item>
</style>
</resources>
Add the color you want the status bar to display in place of #B86E00.
Keep in mind that status bar looks better if it is a bit darker than your app theme.

Layout issues when adding toolbar to preference screen

I try to built a preference screen with a toolbar, but I got some issues:
- There is a word "main". How can I remove it?
- The status bar is white. I want it to look like my main screen (same theme). Somehow it does not apply the color
- The toolbar overlays the content. I tried a a layout_marginTop on the list view, but it does not change anything.
Here is the code of my activity_settings.xml:
Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
app:navigationIcon="?attr/homeAsUpIndicator"
app:title="@string/action_settings"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" />
<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
</LinearLayout>
This is the AndroidManifest entry:
Code:
<activity
android:name=".activities.SettingsActivity"
android:label="@string/activity_settings"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
Can anybody help me?

Why don't you link the manifest of the 2 activities to the same style theme?
--------------------------
I keep track of your replies with my android devices using the app "Tapatalk".

What do you mean? Can you please give me a short example? Thank you!

He wants both of the activity to have the same theme. You have to do it in the manifest. Also to remove main, you have to set android:label=""

To change the status bar color, change color for colorPrimaryDark in color.xml
