The title basically says it all. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any live wallpapers that can trigger the dark ui.
So far the only ones i know about are "Amoled" and "Galaxy", both by the same developer maxelus.net. They're very nice wallpapers with a lot of customization options. So if you guys know of any others please share.

I haven't found any so far. Only the dark Google ones that are in the Wallpaper app trigger it, there's like 5 of them that do it. Any 3rd party live wallpaper I've tried that is dark, does not trigger it.

You should give the ones I mentioned a shot. There's free versions of both, but you gotta be on 8.1 for the dark mode to work though.
The darker wallpapers in tapet trigger the dark theme, but I've found even with just setting an image they have to be very dark before triggering this....
Attached a dark wallpapers generated by tapet, and a fairly dark black and white image that didn't trigger it.
Seems to need a certain amount of black to switch to dark..
*Edit* first screenshot since getting the 2xl, screenshots have square edges behind the round corners....

Is that a live wallpaper or app that displayed all that info on your home screen?

This has a dark theme option in the wallpaper settings and you can disable the clock if you want.

Thank you Canesfan22
Got a decent bit done. I'm thinking about modifying a few things (maybe some colors, etc) a bit as I go but the layout will stay the same.
can you change the app drawer back to the other darker nicer looking wallpapers?
i dislike the look of the rocks.

I would say give options on the launcher background, black tile vs. rocks. Also make sure it's compatable with advanced launcher.
Wooooo. Hope you still plan on updating this theme.
Hey, I am working on a motoblur theme for CM, and I have almost everything perfect. EXEPT the text on all of the buttons and stuff is black against a dark grey button. Can anyone help me out with getting the text on the buttons to be white so they are readable?
Also, another problem I'm having is with the backgrounds. I moved all of the small and normal backgrounds from motoblur into the launcher.apk of my theme, but they are not showing up in the list. Can anyone help out here, either?
Thanks everyone!

i have wondered about the font color as well for a while.
but for the wallpapers, make sure they are named the same as the wallpapers currently in launcher.apk
yo yo
hey man. yeah those wall papers have been pissing me off. i finished two different themes, and that launcher hindered both, thus causing me to start alllll over again. im using this 2.0 sht now, its pretty sick, theres a lot of new **** on 2.0, like a bad ass dock, with all these settings widgets, etc, my theme should be up a little later today. keep and eye out. and Freeky, pm me, lets get this collab going down!

im not 100% sure but I think that irrenhaus' advanced launcher allows you to actually add wallpapers to it .... also i know that if you build Launcher from source you can add your wallpapers in that way

I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

This reminds me that I forgot to mention a few things in the original post.
Something Fallout/Pip-boy inspired could be cool!

The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.

I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.

Is there an Xposed module or some other way that anyone knows of to make the Settings black themed instead of white?
The amount of light that occurs with the white background sometimes hurts to look at.
Is there a night mode or something that I can do (other than flash a custom ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
Download and apply a dark theme off the theme store and it will turn the settings and toggles all dark.
Thanks! There's nothing in xposed that can do that though? I didn't see anything, but I didn't want to have to look inside every single module?
Answer found.
Care to share?
Sure. I could NOT find an Xposed module that did this (although I would think it to be really simple).
So I ended up just using the free Samsung theme that looked like space. Really neat - themes a lot more than just the settings.
I had trouble locating the Samsung theme app in Apex, but once you log into your Samsung account, I believe it brought it up.
Was definitely worth checking into.
Thanks for the help.

I'm using SkyofIllusion, but I downloaded ForestofIllusion too, but I don't like that the mystical deer is only shown on the lockscreen and disappears when you unlock the device.
Both good dark choices that apply in all the right places.

This is the Hologram theme which is a good alternate dark theme. It's not just a black background but uses background images.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68416405&postcount=35
Starting today the "Upcoming" (at least that's what it was called) section of the Google Feed where you get stock prices, upcoming flights, etc now has a black(it's actually black not the dark gray you get in "dark mode") background for each card but still a white background for the main screen.
It looks awful and I don't see a way to turn it off.
Turn off Night Mode and/or dark theme. Just tested it and it changed the cards back to white. Looks like Assistant is getting a dark mode soon...

That sucks. I like the dark theme. I just don't like that it isn't consistent. All dark would be great. All white would be fine. The mix of the black (not even the same color as the right of the dark theme in the OS and other apps) and white looks AWFUL.
I'm sure they'll make the Assistant page look more like the Feed page. I feel like the black on white background is incomplete for sure.

Yeah, I like the dark Feed page. I hope they fix it soon to make it consistent. It's also off that they didn't even pick the same dark color. On the Feed it's a dark gray. On the other page it's black.
New options in the feed to view more or less of some news. Looks interesting. Never used the app, always use it by sliding left so I've full dark theme mode on.
I believe this only shows up if you're on the beta version, so they're still just testing
Not on beta here. As long as dark mode / night mode is on, you get the dark tiles in the Assistant.
