Maybe someone could modify this app for android 5.1.1?:
Ticklr
I would like to have a transparent color of ticker. Maybe as an option. Of course this app has to be capable detecting a background color of a running app to make text readable changing its color from black to white and vice versa.
Is it possible?
Or maybe already somewhere there is a finished app just like this? I liked it app because it is most similar to the original kitkat ticker.
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the "highlight" when you hold on an app?
As far as I know, that can be changed by the Themes.
Try a different theme and see if you like the change.
You might have to make up your own theme if there is no theme with a "no highlight" option.
Not 100% sure though.

You need to change focused_application_background.9.png (in Launcher.apk/res/drawable) to a clear graphic. From here it is an easy metamorph. You will want to search and read about .9.pngs before doing this though.
I believe you are talking about the text under the Icons, that has the dark oval background behind the white letters, right?
If so I am not sure if there is a way to change it yet, and have yet seen anyone do it.

I am fairly certain that can be changed using the colorchange.jar java app for cyanogen roms. I use it to give my theme white letters on a black background throughout. It seems to change the oval to black also, and thus can be changed. Here is the problem, it is tied into many other colors in the OS, and so it will not be possible to just change that color.
Hey guys i was wondering if its possible to theme the default messaging app thats by samsung, Like id be interested if its possible to change the background in the conversation menu to pure black (it would use less battery) rather than grey, it would also be cool to change the bubble colours possibly.
Is this possible? And how would it be achieved, input from "pro" themers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the Navbar background? By this, I mean the colour of the area that the soft buttons sit on.
The only thing I have been able to find is instructions on making it transparent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409540&highlight=edit+navbar
Perhaps there is a .png that can be changed in SystemUI? Or perhaps the framework can be tweaked?
Any light that could be shed on the matter would be really appreciated
Thanks

From the link:
From the root of the SystemUI directory, open res/values/colors.xml. Find the entry for “status_bar_background” and change it’s value to whatever you want. In mine I’ve set it to “a6000000” which black but 35% translucent. The first 2 characters control the opacity on a scale from 0-255 where 0 is completely transparent and 255 is fully opaque. That value is then stated in hexadecimal format; e.g. 0=00, 255=ff.
First 2 characters are transparency last 6 characters are color.

AOKP features this in their ROM control settings.

Ah - I see. Thanks for your help, missed that.
Dont suppose you know how to change the actual picture of the navbar, not just the colour? As you can see in the below thread:

I believe that in AOKP, you can change the softkey colour, not the actual navbar (that the softkeys sit on)

In that link they give instructions to make transparent. But you could also change the color i believe just replacing the opacity and entering your desired color code hex value. Then compile.
Now that I have lollipop the top bar of messaging app is this ugly orange color. Does anyone know how to change this?
Yeah I hate that too. It's going to require a rooted phone plus either a custom theme, a rom with a theming engine or learn how to change it yourself. At any rate it does require root. The only Verizon Note 4 that can currently be rooted is the Developer Edition. They can only be bought at the Samsung website and they are out of stock there. Sorry for the bad news.
Hit the menu on the left and select background, you can change the background, header and bubbles to any color you want.

I think they are talking about in the stock Samsung messaging app not Verizon's Message+ app
Ah ok ..... sorry. There is no way that I have discovered to change the header color on the stock Samsung messenger app.
