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.

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] Is is possible to only take certain elements from a theme?

The themes are pretty bad right now, but some of the colour schemes I find appealing, is there any way to just keep the colour schemes and not the icons and wallpapers?

CM12?
Cyangeonmod 12 has this feature you want where you can combine certain elements of theme packs to customize your device to your feel.
I would to see a mix of Urban theme and Galaxy. I want a brighter colour for the status bar

These are the colours tasker gets for me with this wp using the "Get material colours"
https://imgur.com/a/zJYV0kr
it's very washed out on systemui and gboard though, in the range of accent 1 80% lightness
As an alternative, this might be useful

I think the light theme has solid colors but the dark theme doesn't

The theming imo sucks. I can see theming the accent color but changing the hue of the grays on the screen is ridiculous.

I agree 100%. The weird thing is on my Poco F3's running any Android 12 custom rom I can use Substratum and it will theme everything properly including the toggles but on the P6 Pro the apps theme but the UI doesn't.
