ill have to make an edit then...is it all dark or all light...the text?
the text is all black, blends in with the background. In the messaging app, the bubbles aren't quite black, so you can just BARELY see the text. White text in both of these scenarios would make this look just about perfect in my eye.

try it again...i tested this 1...should be gray boxes and white text
and thanks....dont forget to thank the people who originally made and ported this theme oover to the sgs phones
Same issue still... For example:
1.) Press the "Menu" soft key (from a home screen)
2.) Press the "More" option
Can't view text
Also, in notifications, it's white text on a gray background. Any possibility of making the text a little more visible?

It's all covered in this reference; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831715
For the secondary menu i'ts under "expanded.menu" or something like that, for some reason that one won't work if called with @/color so what you actually need is the original code that was there (something like "?SmallTextInverse", and just remove the "inverse" from the end, and that will change the text color properly.)
For notifications, you'll have to edit XML located within the Layout folder, i'ts listed in that guide too. Let me know if you need help!
love it, but conversations in default messaging app are also difficult to read.

Didn't notice at first - in fact I was wondering where the default Gmail icons went (compose/search/labels/refresh) when I realized they are just super dark. Anyone else experiencing a really dark background on the ICS Gmail client? I've included some screens below. As you can tell, the first two screens it's almost impossible to view the icons on the bottom bar and the text on the status bar. Seems to be fine when you select an actual email. The last screenshot shows what it should look like (minus the soft keys at the bottom of course).
For the record, I compared with a Nexus and it seems that the actual icon is the right color, it's just the background that is too dark.
I also thought I could remove it and try to reinstall from the Play Store but doing a search for Gmail only returns the GB compatible version.
Turns out the top bar of Calendar is dark as well. Was talking to a friend and he suggested that something on the phone is confusing the definition of "holo light" (the Google standard - http://android-developers.blogspot.ca/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html)... not sure if that helps or anything.
Mine looks nothing like that. my top and bottom are a light gray, like.. hex #CCCCCC maybe even lighter, and the icons are that dark grac #666666 or so.
will upload screenshot in a bit.

This helps - not a fix but just curious as to who else may or may not be having the same issue. What ROM are you running?
FWIW just installed the Smooth ICE 3.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571595) and the Gmail looks as it should. Must have been an issue with the ROM I had initially installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567817).
EDIT: was actually an issue with a theme I'd installed over the ROM to remove more of the TW stuff. Case closed
Is there anyway to change the background color (white) of the stock SMS program in jelly bean? Coming from the high contrast black background from ICS's SMS program to a white background is a tough pill to swallow. And I really don't want to use an alternative SMS program if I can avoid it.
TIA

hard time believing i'm the only one that finds this annoying!
Naw I'm with ya drives me nuts too. I still haven't found a solution though. Also bothers me that I have to use a 5 dollar launcher for unread count. You could try various skins on Apex/Nova launchers, though I havent found the right one yet
Decompile using a Appmanager and look for the background image to replace

[TUTORIAL]How to Theme Your MMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781297
I'm on Samsung Galaxy Note II, Jelly Bean 4.1.1 stock, I believe I've made changes but not sure how to get back to them. When I first go into the stock message app and see the list of message that I have, the background is black. I believe this used to be white. How can I get this back to white? I did have GO SMS installed but have uninstalled it an am back to stock messaging app. I know this is how to change it to black, but hoping I could get help for vice versa.
Interested also
I'm also quite interested about this issue. I have two DROID DNA phones. One let's me use my gallery and the other won't. Really strange.
You might wanna try this. I just combined some that are made by others so thanks to them. I'm really sorry I forgot their names.
it has white text on black background
Just flash the zip file:
Ill also attach the Mms.apk if you need it but its included on the zip file but i just want to upload it separately so yeah. <-- Noob here
And the screenshot is also there.

Does this replace the existing stock SMS app? Exist in addition to the stock app? Just theme the existing app? And would it be undone by any updates to gapps? Thanks.

Yes it would replace the stock sms app. Just check the gapps if it includes the mms.apk file. Usually it doesnt, maybe. If mms.apk is included in gapps then it would overwrite this but if not then this themed sms app would stay.
Hi Everyone! just received my new Galaxy S7 and as always trying to learn everything about it before i brick it!
So i've been messing with the always on display themes and for the moment all i could find are 5 new themes in the Samsung theme store.
I wanted to know what options do we have to manually change the AOD and to create our own theme..
Also location of files and resolutions would be nice if anyone knows!
Where did you find the always on display themes?

The Theme store has a banner for Always On Display. It seems to be anice actual theme that also themes the AoD.

goto settings then top right Themes then more themes and from yesterday there is a sectioin "Always brighten your style with AOD" themes.. it changes all the phones theme but you can go back to the one you had and keep just the aod theme.
Anyone figure this out yet? I would love to pick my own image.
does anyone know how to add other "alerts" to the AOD screen? ie i would want to know if i had a number of hangouts messages or work emails. It only really tells you about missed call numbers and new sms (i mean who uses SMS these days unless it is to strangers or old people who don't understand hangouts??)

Looks like only Samsung's Phone, Messages, and Calendar notifications are available. For example, I like Google Messenger, but since SMS/MMS notifications don't make it to the AoD, I'm stuck with Samsung's Messages app (which looks nice actually).

I'd be interested in creating a dual clock, calender, & advanced notifications aod; how does one get started making android/ Samsung themes?
I want to keep my current theme and use the AOD from another theme. Has anyone figure this out yet?
i have only 6 AOD themes on the store. It whould be awesome if we can find more. And btw is this a feature that only s7 has ? If there is AOD mod for other phones mabe we can find themes from what they use ?
Functionality extensions would be better than almost useless themes.
i don't find the aod theme , maybe there aren't in france

You can just search "Samsung theme development" on Google and it should be the first site on the list. http://developer.samsung.com/theme-service
You have to apply, which entails getting Samsungs approval by phone and probably sharing anything they deem worthy of their own app store in terms of revenue. I don't think it's as easy as pie if that's what your hoping but I'd love to be wrong because Aod needs some work and it would be welcomed! I did some reading tho and it can be done if your driven to do so, I looked all this up as I wanted to create my own themes instead of waiting for what I may not find to come along. Looks like they have their own sdk you use and more info can be found at the link I provided. Cheers!

It seems they are now inverted from before the update. When I hit invert, the menus look correct, but the rest of the stuff is messed up, so that doesn't work.
How can I get my dark menus back without ruining the colors of everything else?
To clarify, I'm referring to the menus in settings and when I swipe down from the home screen.
Google pixel, Android 8.0, stock

yeah, that's Oreo's default theme. Lots of white. So what you are seeing is entirely expected and normal.... inverting the colors affects everything...
If you want to theme Oreo, you can do so, but you will need to be routed and install 'substratum' found in the play store... Oreo supports theming, but I think for now, you must be rooted (although, last I heard there should be a paid app available soon that doesn't require root)...
Also, there are lots of Oreo compatible themes for substratum, available in the play store.... I'm using a dark / pure black theme. Love it.
Good luck
You can try Substratum and Swift Dark/Black Theme
I still have this problem. It would be nice if Textra fixed the issue. If you go to Customize Look -> Screen Color -> Light, then the menu appears white with dark text.
But if you choose Dark or Black, then it's white with very light text.
Why can't Google just provide a setting to let us to choose either a light or a dark background for the menus? I don't want to root and I'm not going to buy a theme app. I don't want to "theme" anything else. I just want a toggle to choose either light grey or dark grey settings screens. Simple enough.

I'm sure they will down the line. theming/OMS is still very new in AOSP and stock Oreo and AFAIK, they are still ironing out support and their own dark theme...
if you don't want to root or pay a Buck or two to a hard working theme developer, than you are S.O.L.
If it is simple enough, feel free to write the supporting code and contribute to AOSP.... complaining in am XDA forum isn't going to make that support appear for u.

It's back on 8.1. If you have a black wallpaper it will detect this and theme everything dark. Download the developer image from Google. You can root it too, with a working SUhide.

My settings menu didn't go dark. Just the Google App and the notification pane. And Swift Dark is not quite there yet on 8.1
Oreo update HORRIBLE, knew in 2 seconds I would hate it when my notifications section turned to white background (you suck google) then noticed all kinds of thinks I didn't like. Apple updates made my phone worse EVERYTIME and now google is doing that. Simple stuff like changing background colors GONE and worthless stuff added to hug up the phone. Had my Moto for 3 weeks, first 2 weeks liked it, updated to moto oreo and now DON't like it anymore. I just wanted security patches not my OS screwed and ALL my setting gone, and why is this clock showing up again. all my setting which took forever to figure out and now reset back to what i didn't like, then add the horrible WHITE background garbage like the notoication window. I didn't want my nice UI screwed up. So I learned that like APPLE every Andriod update will be worse TOO. sad, don't like my new phone anymore, thanks for updating it to GARBAGE.

Hey!
I will pay! I will pay a developer! What apps do this?! I will buy them in a heartbeat. I am just as frustrated as OP and some other posters in this thread.
I AM NOT ROOTED ON AN HTC 10.
I spent all morning on a deep dive in the Play Store tinkering and installing several apps, and none of them addressed the actual issue of allowing the user to choose the color of the notification shade. I can't stand the white either.
Please help.
Andromeda, it's on the app store and also probably easy to find on here. Sorry I don't have a link at the moment, I'm on mobile. But the app is about 2 dollars and works great on my Moto z2 force.
Keep in mind you will need a laptop and some basic knowledge of turning on usb debugging in developer settings. It will need to be a Linux/Mac/Windows computer. Chromebooks are not supported as far as I know at this point.
See the xda thread for more details. Find it by looking up "Andromeda xda" on your favorite search engine of choice.

I went through that whole process this morning also. I kept getting a "run shell script" error with my Mac. It's real frustrating. I didn't want to do it, but I gave it my best shot, and I followed all the videos and directions, but no one knows what to do if "run shell script" error comes up.
Didn't work out I guess. But I gave it a shot. Still is so much to do just for the option to make an eff-ing black notification shade.

I have a few I've used that are unmistakably dark.
I think the reason is because I use Nova Prime as my launcher, so the themes aren't going to pick up on that and thus change the color of the notification shade.
Yes I too I'm pissed off at this new Oreo white look I like the look of my old build WTF why can't Google give us a choice why can't we theme just the God damn color I'm really pissed off now.
I'm so pissed off as well, can't get menus and title bars or even pop-up menus to be black. It was fine back on nougat 7.0
Now it's all white
I dont mind the Oreo update but like so many I hate hate hateeeeeeee the stupid status bar, its white. I wish they allowed up to change the color on the status bar like we can for the AOD clock. I have a background of nature and the sun is up there and I cannot read the clock, battery, connection status etc because its invisible on the wallpaper and I have a theme. I tried to use Andromada but it looks so confusing to use and you have to pay for it and the feedback from the public is bad
**** google for this. YOU HEAR ME??? **** YOU GOOGLE! YOU SUCK! FORCING WHITE BACKGROUND SCREENS ON US! MY EYES HURT... I"M GONNA CONTACT MY LAWYER!!
