Hello all,
(This doesn't seem to be related to the Xenforo update so I'm posting it here)
Not sure why no one was talking about this, but the color scheme changed from orange and dark orange to red and blue, and blue throughout the website. All of the themes (light, dark, classic, community) has changed colors.
IMO, the new color scheme makes XDA not so special anymore, since it is one of the few big forums that are using orange as the main color (besides from Ubuntu forums). And the blue color feels "off" and alien to me, while orange feels more at home.
Is there a way to revert the change with a theme or such? And what are your opinions on the new color scheme?
(By the way, the new XDA logo has red on the left and blue on the right, which makes them look misaligned on most screens. The red looks like it's higher than the blue one.)

How can we make the XDA forums better?
I figured since we turned this forum into a Questions forum with up and down voting for each answer, I'd ask: How can we make the XDA forums better? No answer is too outlandish...be creative. We're listening! Maybe you think we have too many...

Hi.
As mentioned in the title I have difficulties in using all the beautiful looking black themes in bright sunlight. Therefore I have been looking for some good looking themes with black text on a white (or bright) background, that is easy to use during daytime.
But searching the forum did not find any - therefore I would like to ask you if you know such a theme?
Thanks

You can use any PC theme maker application, create a white background based theme & customise it to your extent(the way you like).
You may face a problem of the taskbar & navigation's colour not changing - for this you can use 'UITweaker'.

Why isn't the notification bar black to? wouldn't that help also?
yeah. thanks going to work on it now
It is my understanding that with a LCD screen that is back-light (such as your phone, and any LCD screen that I am aware of) black is harder on the battery because it has to block the most light from passing through the film. Therefore, you are having the opposite effect you desire, white would be the most efficient (or some other bright color) as it has to use less energy to darken the screen and can allow more of the back light to shine through. But I don't know everything...
i see...... i will create an all white theme for you guys than
But black looks better! My phone is decked out in black and blue, white would be god-awful to look at (even the stock grey is obnoxious). So, I say, continue on your quest for a black based theme, but instead of calling it energy efficient, just call it black.
Check this article out for some details to the power usage differences between CRT's and LCD's.
its funny... i have an all black background some apps and i turn my brightness all the way down to have it as dark as possible... mind you i have a white g1... haha
i see.. i will change the post's name if i can.... i create custom themes if you want me to create a theme just for tell me maybe we can work out a deal

Hello all,
I'm loving ICS but I have to say the reason I like ICS is that People and SMS and EMail are all light whether white and grey, or white and blue. now I do like the black and blue, but when i'm using the phone, i'm preferring the lighter theme as i find it clearer.
So what i'm requesting is that someone theme the dialler, if possible attach the people app to it rather than the address book (never understood two apps same thing one light one dark) and maybe theming the settings menu etc the same.
IF someone did this for me, i would happily donate £10
Thanks,
Luke.
Hi there devs
so i have a simple request (i think) i would like a white theme that is just like stock ICS... so leave all the blue, and such, just turn the black into white (with the exception of the nav bar and status bar) everything else, either white or a light grey (kinda like MIUI is but except having the orange have the stock ICS blue, i would go to MIUI but 1. i hate orange, and 2, i have market place issues with MIUI)
i really hope someone can take on this project and do this for me... i knwo alot of other users might like the same thing...
thanks in advance, and of course donations will be given for the hard work
Like this?
If so you can download that from Nitroz, HERE
No... I don't want the blue accent changed to white. I want all the current black backgrounds white/light grey. Etc. You go into settings the whole background is black. I want white/light grey.
And I want the icons to stay ics stock. Not to change.
Get what I mean?

Doesn't exactly meet your criteria but this is the closest to white you're gonna get: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20805-th...-formerly-known-as-un-blacked-out-by-bgill55/
Also, this Sense 4 theme (which I use and love) is going to be released in white (apparently) so check it out and stick about for more updates if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548618
and ya i saw that ghost one... dont like that at all... like i said above, looking for the exact same thing as AOSP black but for someone to turn the menu backgrounds (eg settings) into white...
ya i am using the sense theme now. i like it, but wanting to try the white one... but i dont like the green of it... hence why i would like what i mentioned above made... i'm sure there are plenty out there looking for AOSP white holo...
I second this. Black is nice, but its nice to have a white based theme. Not completely white. Just white menus, and stock ICS apps that look right with white and respective font color to meet the white.
exactly! so like the contact app is right now.... when you open it it was a white/light grey... i want that everywhere like in the setting... that background in the setting screen, call log, dial pad, etc etc etc but leaving the blue ICS signal meter , etc, etc as it is
I want a white theme too
I want white on my nav bar around the buttons.

That challenge would be incredibly difficult. I think BGill's theme is the closest you're going to get from a guy who started Android theming.
that makes me sad and im sure alot of others... do you got a link to that theme you are refering to?...

Its the one someone posted on the first page, its a RootzWiki link. I don't have it to hand at the minute, sorry.
Is there a way to get the settings menu, quick settings, notification panel pure black and not grey? Seems whichever wallpaper I set (even solid black) it's not adhering to it...
Might have to wait until substratum can be used if not!
The irony of their colour scheme was not lost on me. I think they did this for a bit of retro feel so it looks like an LCD panel.
Come on Google, I know your designers are probably just 12 years old, but surely there are still some older people there that remember the light bleed issues of LCD displays of old, and that OLED was sold on being able to produce real blacks.
I just want pure black
Oh well, root will soon be amongst us I'm sure
I'm trying to find a wallpaper that is as black as possible, so the system themes it accordingly. But also one that doesn't have a tint to everything... Any recommendations? I just want notification panel etc to be black if possible but also for buttons ect to be a plain colour without a warm'ish tint to them...especially text, like I want that to be white whereas seems the system is adding a tint?
