Hi
I have a hopefully really easy question. I have tried both searching this forum and googling it but I can't really find an easy solution.
My problem is that when I use swype, the suggested words box is the stock black/grey but somehow the text shown in it is also black. Thus I can only read every other word. Is there any easy solution for changing the font color? Or the lighten up the background?
I tried following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838269 but I couldn't get it working properly.
I am running Insanity ROM on SGS if that matters

I just got a bunch of nice backgrounds and i'd like a utility to cycle through them. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? i did a quick search but couldnt find anything on this forum.
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=today+theme+rotator&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en
thanks, im still looking through some of those links. but from my first impression it looks like those links provide programs to rotate the whole theme rather than just the background pic. Do you know if this is the case?
if so just change the search to something like this
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=today+theme+switcher&btnG=Søg&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en
That's still searching for something that changes the entire theme, isn't it?
What I want is something to just change the wallpaper/background from a directory with many background images.
I tried searching google for "wm5 change backgrounds" but couldn't find what I was looking for. (my google skills suck)
Maybe I just don't understand how a theme changer could change my backgrounds for me.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hello!
It's very difficult to read the Today Screen on the Topaz in bright sunlight. I have searched and searched again for a solution on XDA-Developers and the internet as such, but I found nothing. Actually, there's very little discussion about this problem. I find that a bit strange since this isn't only a cosmetic thing; the issue actually has consequences for the practical use of the device.
So, I ask you guys if anyone is working on this problem? Or perhaps I'm the only one who regards the white font as a problem? There must be some way to get black font on the Today Screen? Perhaps there already is a solution out there that I haven't found?
I hope someone knows the solution to my problem!
Kind regards
Eiliv
P.S. I have tried Max TF3D Theme Maker, but that doesn't seem to work.
You can change today text color in SKTools (download free trial). It is in Tune Up - Colors.
But if you mean manila - I don't use it so I don't know how to change it
Yes, sorry, I mean the Today Screen / Home Screen in Manila...
Eiliv
I agree. It would be great to change at least the colours !
You must take the TF3d manila Files oft the Vodafone D2! White Screen with black letters...
Well, great! But how? Where? I've done a search for Vodafone D2, and the only relevant post I can find points to ppc.ch which seems to be a german site (greek to me)...
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Eil
this is the first bit of what ive found: http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/tutorial-how-change-t174799.html?t=174799
i havent tried that yet...so feel free to leme know how it works)
Blackstone theme seem to work (not tried yet), but check this one out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480373
Nice Theme, but to install this one, I need TF3d Config...btw. this program isn't working on the D2...
What can we do?
I have searched the forums and I have looked at the suggestions that were shown to me before I posted here. I have found many threads that talk about how to do this, but none of them are using phones featuring HTC Sense. I have looked in Styles.xml and done the changes that were instructed to me, but they did not change the text to white like I wanted.
Has anybody been able to successfully change the text color in the soft menus in HTC Sense?
Solved
I'm going to answer my own question. DitINCtINC has figured out how to do it in this thread. It is also covered in this thread, too. He learned from looking at DistINCtINC's theme. I am coordinating with DistINCtINC to get a theme going that should be up in a few days that will be using these mods. I may post what I have tonight or tomorrow night just to get out what I have.
Good deal, It's a hard task and I'm happy someone else has decided to tackle it as well.
I have installed and changed dialers and keyboards many time with multiple ROM's. Unfortunately I'm never quite sure what I'm doing, what I do know is, they work.
I have been fine-tuning my theme and have noticed in my Local and TEXT that I have 2 Gingerbread keyboards. I have searched Root Ex to delete one of them but can't find either one. I do however find swype in system>app. So, where do I find them?
I also found the attached blue swype kb and have interest of installing. How can I tell if this kb will work with my phone? If it does not, how do I change it to work. Though I appreciate folks making these things work, my real intent is to understand how to do this on my own.
Thanks, Tomween1
I know not everyone prefers ShapeWriter, not sure why it's the best keyboard out there, but with all the ICS stuff and themeing, here's a ICS themed ShapeWriter Keyboard.
ps-if anyone knows how to change the tracer color, please let me know. I've asked, pm'd, googled, all with no luck.

just like swipe. its in the libshapewriter.so file. only way to edit it is to use a hex editor. use this as a guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162558
you will need to figure out what the HEX code for the stock color and find it in the .so
OK. So any help on finding that color in Hex Editor? I knew it was in the .so file but don't know the location.

you would have to decompile it and see what the hex code is used for the color then search the .so for it.
its easier in linux. i will see what i come up with then i am home tonight.

Thanks. I appreciate it. No worries if nothing happens.
I thought I was the only person alive that still uses shapewriter. Is there any way to remove the background image? It's a bit distracting

Check this out. It's a few replies in. If you want a certain color or background or whatever, I could probably do something for ya.
After I posted that, I did a little playing around.. Made an orange and black one to go with my orange MIUI 4.0 theme
Got it. I posted on other thread.
Shapewriter bug
HI
long time shapewriter user - recently upgraded to ICS (BCM on the desire)
did a restore of shapewriter from a titanium backup of it i had (this was from CM7 ie gingerbread). Works perfectly but for one problem: Whenever i switch to the number keyboard it duplicates the last digit when i switch back to the alpha keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix or workaround?
Presume the "data" part of the titanium restore is the bit that cointain info on my writing style etc so would be up to 2 years worth of learned data that i would rather not have to wipe and relearn. Maybe the app isnt as clever as this. Im not sure?
I think you might be able to do a fresh install and then copy over the library files. Once I get to a computer I'll look into it.

Shaspewriter isnt available on the market/play any more i know that there are modified variants out there but i'm not so comfortable getting it from a lesser source do to the security/easy ability to capture all keyboard input - do i need a special installer file etc or will the data stored by titanium backup suffice. Not sure if it has the apk file.
Any help appreciated.
I have a galaxy note and am still using shapewriter as it is STILL the best tracing keyboard out there. BUT unfortunately it appears on the note in a compacted form, only taking up 2/3 of the width of the screen. Does anyone know if there is a version that would adapt to any screen size??
ICS Shapewriter [Now with xhdpi support!]
Here is a nice ICS themed shapewriter. It also has support for hi res devices. :laugh:
