Hey guys,
Updated to 2.2 and hated the stock messaging app so i made the jump to Handcent and was wondering if there was any way to change the color of the text entry box from the tan background to a white one. I know its just a little thing but i think it would help the app look much cleaner.
Thanks for the help

Yes you can, settings>bubble settings. Just play around with it and you will figure it out.
Yeah i have been playing around with it all afternoon, and looked at every single menu item in the settings and just cant find it..
I haven't found the option for the text entry box. What I found was that when you have the iphone skin you can change the theme to black which turns the text entry box to more of a grey colour. I preferred this but I wish that you could have a custom colour
Could you just edit the color of the window in the .apk or theme the app itself? I found a thread on another forum where someone themed the app itself to make the text entry window white as well as look more like the stock messaging app

Sorry for being a noob if this is an easy fix, but I've been searching for hours now and can't find anything. I found a theme I love except for one thing. I'd ask the guy who skinned the theme, but he says he's not around anymore, no time.
When I view a text message in on the screen where it shows this pic of the person, the date and time sent, and the call back number, the box with that info is a very light grey. Problem being is the text is white. I'm new to themes, and can't find the right file to change. I don't want to change the text color, just make the box black too. Can someone direct my to the right file to edit? I'm on WM 6.5. Attached is pic of what I have...
Thanks in advance for any help...
Moved as not theme release.
Anyone? Could someone at least point me in the right direction? Am I looking for a css, a png, a gif somewhere? I also noticed today that the address bar and search bar for Opera have white text on white background. I'm also looking to change those 2 backgrounds to black also...
Im looking to change the color of the little green circle that pops up on the messaging icon whenever you get a text. im also looking for whatever controls the green color of the highlighted message in the messaging widget. ive been looking through smalis and xmls for hours now trying to find these things...anyone have any insight to share?
Hello guys,I manually updated to CM12 (Non-rooted) and i found there are some things which need to be changed but couldnt find it in any themes! I also changes to "Blue ice" and "dark material" but there were no change in app drawer BG instead my contacts were vanished as ghost like text were not visible.
how do i change the background of app drawer since it is in "White" background,i want it in "transparent" or something "dark" like it was in CM11s.
same is for the contacts and keyboard as they are in white BG too.
Any Advice or Suggestion!
is there any1 to reply to my Question!
I can't seem to find out how to change the colors. Before I could select from a few colors (without having a theme). Now I just get grey and a dull yellow. Anyone know how to change these?
Nobody? So you're all stuck with dull grey and dull yellow chat bubbles too?
I'm talking without a theme here. Stock 7.0 update. No way to change those colors?

I just use google messenger. Can change contact colors on that one. Never knew you could on the stock messenger app.
I didn't think you ever could change the color of the bubbles. Prior to my S7, I had an S6 that I was looking to change the colors on. All that I could turn up was changing the background and that was about it.
You could definitely change the chat bubble colors on MM. I'm used to using black and blue bubbles but now I'm stuck with yellow and grey after upgrading to Nougat. I don't understand why Samsung would remove that option with an UPDATE lol.

Did some one figure it out? I can't stand the damn color of the bubbles. Grr!
this is bugging me too!! have we found a fix?
I've been trying to figure this out too. Along with the fact that keyboard is no longer simultaneously spell checking my words in two languages like it was doing before. It's frustrating. I have to toggle between language. No fun.
Just go to the theme store and grab a theme. I'm using a material design theme. Nowmmy bubbles are blue and white.

I'm right there with ya. Unfortunately Messaging is the app I'm in most. Had to make the skin change.

I just updated my OS [Verizon is always the last kid on the block to update anything] and I'm having the same issue. Before the update from Marshmallow we could choose which bubble style we wanted - now all we have is this sickly yellow and grey. Are we stuck with this?
Sent SMS
I have posted this somewhere else but it is not getting answered. Since you were talking about changing messaging apps, this seems like a good place to try again. No matter what I do, I cannot get previously sent SMS to show up in third party texting apps. I have tried 5 with the same result. Only the stock app shows the sent messages. Samsung S6 with 7.0 as of 5/9, but the problem existed on 6.0 as well. Thanks
I hate the grey and yellow mites colors too. Wtf?
the badges? yeah after the update they changed it to a hideous orange color and i haven't been able to change it back. i actually contacted samsung and they said it was deliberate. why? i have no idea. so gosh darn stupid.
Google messenger. I left using theirs on the S7.
I am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.
