Hi guys I'm after a dark theme for my pixel 2 XL. I tried swift dark which looked nice but i had trouble with notifications. When i scrolled down from the top nav bar some of the text was dark so was hard to read. Is there a way of changing notification texts

Use swift black instead and it has black white text fix included
I haven't experienced any problems regarding this theme make sure to reboot after applying
Also black looks more sexy than dark just saying ?
Cheers ?

This is what i mean. This is swift black.

Not sure you can. I believe it's native to the theme. Does the same on mine.

Yes, some kind of system color. I haven't been able to change it.

Surely there would be a setting to enable color change.
Also would nova launcher clash with substratum theming
Aah okay
Now i understand
When you select notification app name option overlay in android system to be app specific that's what make it green for whatsapp because whatsapp has that color as default

So is there a way of changing the color of notification from green to another color? Possibly blue for instance.
If so can you write the steps on how i can do this thanks

That's not possible AFAIK
You need to use a different theme which themes the whatsapp app notification
Can't really know about any theme but you can try themes and if it doesn't work get a refund

Hopefully this is the right place for this thread....
I feel like I am looking for something so basic and I can't believe I cant find what I am looking for. I really just want a simple black and white theme for my Note 5.
In a perfect situation I would really just like the stock icons but all of the Headers and menus and sliders have a black and white theme to them. In a realistic world I would be fine if the icon pack was changed, but I just cant find anything this simple. All of them in the theme store try to do way too much, and many of the custom ones in the XDA Theme threads are really amazing, just way more than I am looking for. Have you seen any that seem to fit what I am looking for?
We have the same problem. I have been looking for a simple black theme for awhile now.

How about "White Tiger", "[MINU] White Dark" , "[MINU] White" from theme store. They are simple and free.
Note from Note V

Thanks for the response. White Tiger is a good example of trying to do too much, imo. Minu white dark has an error where notifications appear as white on white text, and they haven't fixed it yet....I hadn't seen minu white, so I'll give that one a run. Thanks!
Minu white is really close....the problem is that all of the shortcut text is black, so you need to have a light or white background....I like everything else on this theme well enough, but wish I could use a dark background...

Another one that is close, it has a greenish accent color instead of white. Otherwise it would be perfect, but as it is it is just close for me...
If you are still interested, I found one called "Fantasy_Dark_V2" that is ok. It changes the default icons, but they arent too annoying. Also, it is like $2 so there is that as well....still staying hopeful that I will find one!!

I just downloaded a few of those Eid themes to try out. The black and red one looks pretty slick, i like some of what they are doing. Thanks for the heads up!
If you really want no color at all, you can just set your screen to grayscale in Accessibility options. ☺

haha not exactly what I was looking for
Is it possible to activate this? If so how?
Just presse "Theme" and select the theme you want
I was hoping to be able to edit the color on the default since I like the hybrid feel.
The accent color can only be changed on dark theme.

I just think it's weird it says that about Android Mode. I don't get what that is, which is my question.

Hi, is there any way to change the notification text color of app names.
For example checkout the image below twitter is displayed in blue. Any way to change it?

Also for anyone using swift dark when i receive a notification i can't see app name as colour is too dark. I can see messages on notification shade but not the app name and person sending. Is there a way to pick the text color etc

Yep, it's pretty common. Usually the fix is to delete the overlay, then compile, and apply it again. Then again, other times you just have to wait until the Dev updates the theme. It's really uncanny how Google seems to update an app, so the theme doesn't work, a day or 2 after the theme has been updated! Coincidence or conspiracy!?? ??

First time using synergy vs Substratum.
Couple of questions.
When an app in the store updates, do you have to reset back to default theme, recompile, reapply and all that stuff?
When a theme from substratum light updates in the store, do you have to undo everything, recompile, reapply? or?

I hadn't updated my apps then when I did I had to go back to default theme. Uninstall then recompile etc.
Not sure if there is a quicker way? I do miss swift installer how it was so easy to update. Maybe turn off auto update and do it when you have spare time or something haha
