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.

[Q] Is Fade and Gradient broken?

Can someone explain to me how Fade and Gradient fill styles are meant to work please? As far as I can see, neither produces results I would expect.
For example, open up the advanced parameters on a progress bar and specify the "fill mode other color" as, say, white. Then try changing the colour under the fill mode or the foreground colour - no change to the widget colour.
With Gradient fill, all I want to do is go from opaque white to transparent white but Zooper decides to get there it needs to go through yellow!
I'm either not understanding how the UI is meant to work here or these options are really busted. Anyone able to offer any help?
Example of the gradient problem is attached.

Yeah damn things been like this for a while. Shows some yellowish color for me usually. Mess with the foreground/background colors and it'll work right. Just have to F with it.

HSV gradient instead of a RGB gradient ?
I have the same issue and then googled a little. After reading these two pages "perbang.dk/rgbgradient" and "bensouthgate.com/p/12_3_13.php" (I can not post link now), I think the gradient is based on HSV and not RGB; the later seems however be more intuitive and correspond to what I imagine for a gradient from white to another color.
I don't think we can code a RGB gradient from the Advanced Parameter because some functions are currently missing.
If anyone has an idea...

Color Adjustment?

I found that they changed some color setting in new kitkat update. Screen become darker and contrast between black and white drastically amplified. To be honest, it looks like new battlefield game and I'm not very happy with it.
The question is how fullscreen color adjustment works?
As I understood that is a kernel function that used for gamma correction, color inversion and the "screen mode".
Is it applicable for all devices or it is something samsung specific?
Enlighten me, please!

It is possible you have the default to Dynamic after upgrading to 4.4.2.
You can change the display color properties in settings, display.
I set mine to movie and leave it, unless I really need to see pictures with proper gamma then I change it accordingly.

[Q] Dark mode color correction

I've noticed some kind of tint on the black/grey color when having dark mode on which are tuned for the available light.
This seems like and extra rather than bug but it's soooooo annoying when I use the phone outside. Couldn't find a toggle to turn it off - am I missing something?
Switching the color scheme does not change that so it must be something else.

Question Pixel themes and notification panel effects

I am wondering how to get more colour theme options when I set a new wallpaper, usually it gives me the same 4 or it may be a mix of a few depending on my wallpapers but I cannot seem to attain a white or grey theme as shown on the pixel 6 advertisement with white widgets and white app icons on grey backgrounds. Is there a way to get more options?
Also, sometimes when I slide down my notification panel it is completely white, and sometimes it is a blurred version of my background, why isn't this consistent?

It's limited to the small number of muted colour selections with no way to add more afaict.
The blurred pull down background is a bug triggered by adjusting the brightness slider.
