Just about as simple as it sounds. The evo theme is dark, but the mms app is obnoxiously black on white. It's kinda blinding in dark rooms. Yeah handcent can do that but that's way over kill for a texting app for my use. I'm using the fresh rom, btw. Thanks.

Download ChompSms and you can customize all the colors and even make it themed like Iphones sms system. It's a nifty and FREE little app. I donated to remove adds and its been well worth it. Give it a shot. Worst case scenario, you uninstall it.
I too am wanting to have this white on black or white on gray feature WITHOUT going the third party route of using chompsms or handcent. I like the simple features if the stock sense app. waking up early and reading missed texts is blinding lol.
I know you said you don't want another app but this is the messaging app from AOSP and it replaces the default HTC messaging app. Just flash it in recovery.

I would also like to see this I really hate how bright it is. The only problem with aosp messaging is you can't use the HTC messaging widget
AOSP would be the easiest, making the sense app black you would either need to pretty much completely rewrite the xml or you would need to theme all the Sense apps through com.htc.resources. All the HTC apps get there style from com.htc.resources, I was going to make them black in my blue theme but the HTC stuff is way to integrated into android.

Yep. Both of my messaging widgets work. But I'm on a different ROM (Myn's Warm 2.2), so maybe that could have something to do with it?

Also, do I need to remove my Swype before flashing yours? I flashed yours and it did nothing. Will this theme be evolving? I'm wondering about icons under the settings menu and such. Thanks again for putting your time into this!

Agreed bout the green. Some places yes..everywhere yowsers.
Love the red and its mixed in with other colored icons/white clock so its not over saturated everywhere.
Only change I would make is when you pull down the notification bar the bottom "tab" you drag down isnt visible enough.Could be more of the lighter part of the gradient.
Either way great work.
Im considering theming several of my favorite apps after seeing Rodrgz mods on them to match this theme.

In fresh 2.3.3, the background .png that you have to make transparent is in com.htc.resources.apk. I don't know where it's located in damage. That could be the problem... it's copying the entire com.htc.resources.apk to your /system/framework/ directory.
Thought I would try this on Darch's 2.8, but, no go, causes an infinite boot.

I would just need to locate where the PNG file for the background is located for the rom you're using and change it to be blank/transparent. I don't really have time right now to work on it, but if I get a chance another day, I'll post it on the OP as an edit.

All he did was ask if it could be done and if others would be interested. He likes the stock look of Sense and probably being able to use Sense widgets, which cannot be done with ADW or LP. Calm down there big boy, take some deep breaths, everything will be ok.

Is there any way to get the stock ICS messaging app? I'm not the largest fan of several little quirks in the SenseUI one, and am really not a fan of how it looks.

That's disappointing. I really can't stand the messaging UI, and the inability to hide the phone numbers in messages. I realize who I'm talking to, HTC... I don't need you to also list out their 10 digit phone number as well.
It's a shame, as I really love the phone, and there's no one big UI change that I dislike, it's just all these little things, like the changes in the messaging app that are really turning me off.

I have had gripes with the HTC MMS app, but after using a Galaxy Nexus for a while, it too shows the phone number on the message screen. I also think the HTC UI is actually better and more professional and "clean". But yeah, would be nice to try stock ICS too, but I have never been able to get it working on any ICS device other than the Nexus.
I can confirm that hartfords mms apk looks just like holo w/ black background and picture messages work.

might try GO SMS with an ICS theme. Haven't tried it yet, and wouldn't be the same, but might like better than stock.
Thought I'd share a little trick I found in the HTC Rezound forum... turns out you can easily peel off the Sense-style lock screen and leave your One X with clean-looking stock ICS lock. You simply need to rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to something else, reboot, and voila, Sense doesn't skin it. I renamed it using adb shell.
It doesn't work perfectly however... I've already found a couple bugs where incoming calls don't show up on the screen (only in the status bar), and if you use something like Google Music that is supposed to add controls to the lock screen, only a black background is shown. I'm sure these functions are supposed to be handled by the Sense Lock UI which is no longer there. Maybe somebody smarter than me can figure out how to fix, or maybe this is just a useless crippled hack.

I doubt it, most of HTC's other apps are complete replacements of stock, whereas the Sense lockscreen is really just a skin sitting on top of ICS.
So it makes sense why incoming calls, texts, etc. using HTC's stock apps don't show up on the ICS lockscreen (they want to be handled by HTC's skin)....but I'm not sure why Google Music won't show controls since it isn't an HTC app. Curious!
Nice tip! Thanks for the info!
