At first I thought the color background for the apps icons were random, but since I've picked up a Captivate for my wife, I noticed that the same background color is used for the same apps on both phone. Either way, it's just way too colorful, I kinda wish the background was just gray or silver.

I hate them too. Those icon resources must be somewhere. If only we could replace them with straight black to blend in with the background.
I do not know enough about Touchwiz to know where these files might be. Does anyone know?

Basically the title says it all. I've flashed CM7, and really liked the aesthetic of it, but it was just a bit too buggy for me. So I'm back at CM6, but I really dislike the white notification bar of CM6, and love the way CM7 looks. Is there anyway to get the same color scheme as 7? I don't necessarily need new icons, but would really like the color scheme to be the same. I've tried changing the notification bar to black... but it's actually a gradient, not a pure black. I'm also not positive of the hex numbers used for the pull down bar, etc. Has anyone themed this up, or knows how to accomplish it? Thanks.

just look in here. there are plenty of gingerbread themes for cm6
Sorry for being a noob, I appreciate you not calling me out. To anyone else wondering, I wound up using this.

There are so many beautiful themes to make the home screen and wall paper beautiful, but I just don't understand why is there apparently no way to modify the lame white over black background in some of the things like Settings, the apps tab, etc., or at least I haven't been able to find it out.
Does anyone know of any possible way to do that? A simple change of background/foreground color would be nice.
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.
So, I just installed the new SGS4G Bionix and it's great. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the pull-down for the status bar along the top has a translucent background, and when I have it on top of another app, it looks gross and is hard to read. I'm really, really new to the custom look-and-feel thing, and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to make that be a solid color rather than the cool frosted white they chose?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. See the Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. along the top? I'd like this entire background to be a solid color. Any ideas?:

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.
