why on earth do people like inverted colors as setting on their device....like it looks hideous.

Because most people do not find the blinding white background pleasing...also black backgrounds save battery using less display power.

Most apps do not display the wallpaper, so things like inverted Hangouts, Gmail, Google Now, Twitter, Facebook are popular sought after apps.

I've noticed that the lockscreen adds a dark tint on the wallpaper.
Is there anyway to remove that dark tint (regedit perhaps)? Really ruins some colorful pictures and makes already dark pictures even darker =/
Thanks!
not sure what you mean - the screen dims after a little while but i havent noticed this problem on my omnia 7 - what device are you using?

It's not the screen that is the problem, it's the wallpaper that is slightly tinted.
The information text is clear white but the wallpaper I have in the background is somewhat darker than the original (compared if I open it up in the pictures hub).
Try opening a picture and see the brightness, and then set is as lockscreen wallpaper and look at it again on your lockscreen. It is slightly darker.
Really ruins colorful pictures
It's slightly darker on the lock screen, but it doesn't bother me. It's so little...
I know its probably not what you want to hear but how about install one of the many photo editing programs? For example Thumba Photo Editor lets you adjust brightness and contrast
Yeah, I guess I'll have to edit the pictures beforehand.
Would be easier if there was a registrytweak or something instead
Thanks for your responses

Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?

lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)

The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother

That little indent comes from contacts or google plus having sync on (i think). I did update the OP with something a little more tame lol (gray main screen background and white conversation background)

Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work. Last request I promise, but do you by chance have the stock mms apk with stock icon? Figure this would be the easiest request. I'm running nitroz's black exodus and just hate the all black mms

You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.
ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?
No idea how to do that. And I don't have a working computer right now

Thank you. And again I hope you didn't take any offense to that. I'm just picky about something I stare at majority of my day (as I'm sure we all are). Once I get a working computer I was thinking about learning how to theme as well

No problem
All issues should be resolved. I still have a few ideas, but they're still in development for now
Dreaded FC is now fixed!
I really love your mod!
Is it possible to make one without the text shadow and where the bubbles touch each other (like in stock MMS.apk)?

Sure, no problem-I'll throw it together when I get back to my laptop tomorrow morning and post as an alternative. If like to add a black and blue version as well if time allows in the morning.

anybody willing to take this clock widget

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

Ya man no problem. I'll do a semi transparent background with a slight blue gradient and ICS hands.
Done I liked it a lot, so i also made one that matches my theme.

I added that version to the post with the other clocks. I put it at the bottom of the screen to demonstrate transparency.
Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color
Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.
Thanx

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.
Thanks so much man for the reply! Here's the link. I hate white on the black and blue ics theme. If this XML code is easy to find, I wouldn't kill you of you made the red and white on the popcorn blue and black

Also your sig is beautiful. Do you have different color themes?

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.
Yes that massive big blue thing

I see the note 8.0 has white background and black fonts on most menus, including music player and settings menu, how can i change it so it look inverted, i want black backgrounds and white fonts on all this screens like on S4.
Is there a mod? or a way to change it, i want it to save battery life.
Black only saves color on AMOLED screens since it turns off the unused pixels, that's not the case with LCD screens. So if you're hoping to save battery, sorry to burst your bubble.

like the other person said.. this is NOT a AMOLED screen, not going to save you any battery...
But if you do want to mod that stuff... you can root your device and get Xposed framework.. and there are bunch of Xposed mod you can do to customize your experience
Thanks, i didn't know that, in that case i rather have white menus, easier to read
Stock android still doesn't have a dark theme? Found it in the options but doesn't seem to do anything. The dialer and settings still have a white background. We've got OLED panels with true black. Think Google will ever get around to it? Who wants to stare at a bright white light?

Yes same here. Why does Google have the option when it doesn't work lol
Google is rolling out dark theme on a per app basis. They have it for YouTube and Android Messages now. Apparently it's coming to Google Phone soon (Dialer and contacts). Dark theme definitely makes the notch stand out less.
Hope they do the phone and settings soon.
