I love the default black HTC theme but it gives me one big problem. The toolbars for some applications display very badly in this theme. If the application uses dark icons on its toolbar then you almost get a black-on-black toolbar (the www.memory-map.co.uk mapping software is an example as is the Pocket A-Z (http://www.a-zmaps.co.uk/?nid=95) that can be downloaded from handango). Some applications however (like the Mobile Microsoft Office apps) seem to override the theme and use a grey background for their toolbars so they are readable.
I have confirmed that this is a problem with the theme because I tried switching to the default WM theme (the one below the HTC theme in the list) and then the mapping software shows a perfectly readable toolbar with dark icons against grey background.
Are there any tweaks or third party applications that can make an application pick up a different background for it's toolbars? Is there some toolbar-background property in a theme that can be individually treaked to be grey while still leaving the taskkar and soft key bar unchanged (i.e. black-ish)? Failing this, does anyone have any other ideas (apart from the obvious one of forsaking my preferred theme and switching permanently to the blue one)?

Hi
Where can we download a freeware theme with white background and black text for our 750v
Try this out - took a couple minutes and made one. Hope it works for you. Looks pretty good on mine - thanks for the idea.
Great work thanks - wanted to get a no frills today screen just to see how it looks and perform - at least we have a choice
Inside programs / settings etc pages with colored background
Hi is there a way to make the above pages the same color as today theme color for eg if the today theme is black in color with white text, could the programs, settings, and sub-pages be in black with white text too - to integrate the look and feel
Not that I know of. The options are not there to do so in a theme generator anyway. You would need to do some other changes (which I'm sure are possible I just don't know them) outside of a theme.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the softkey bar and the top windows bar color and font on just the tf3d? I have ui tweaker but it changes it for the whole phone. I want it to be black with green font on just the tf3d and green with white font in programs and the program list and what-not. I also want to make my slider clear. I have tried a few cabs but then you see the icon behind the big icon of the slider.
I've changed to a black wm6.5 theme and disabled htc menu so the menus can be black as the themes too. used a black gif as the compose sms background too, (apparently that one stays white after applying the theme).
Now what is lacking is a blacked skinned keyboard. I'm very comfirtable with the default keyboard, don't think i wanna use touchpal or other sips. Any way to get them in black? thanks!
I've seen that Tsalta's Theme changes the style of the WM6 buttons. (the theme doesn't work on my Touch2, but I tried ) Currently it just draws a beige box with a black outline as it apparently has been doing for years...
How can I change the style of WM's default buttons? Can I also change other default UI elements like radioboxes and checkboxes and dropdown menu's etc?
Is there some way to reverse the default color scheme for ALL apps (and settings) to White Text on Black Background?
I think it would be great and much easier on the eyes if we could do that with our web browsers, and just about everything else (when we felt like it). Or is there an android web browser that can do that (like with some reader apps)?
An easy theme switcher would be nice also, so that we could switch from one theme to the other as quickly as possible. Does one exist or do we have to always do that via recovery?
Black or White background
It is of course a matter of personal liking whether you wanna have black or white background on your settings. Medically speaking white font on black background will leave you with after image and hence is fatiguing in the long run. I am an expert in this matter. So be careful before you change your theme. G. Tab is actually a breath of relaxation as it comes with light background. Please don't change it.
I also want that feature so much....to save battery, cause black colors consume less power
does anybody do have this answers? looking for the same especially for the sms default scheme or pallete.
