Searched, and found some themes for WM default SMS but nothing for the HTC messaging.
I like the HTC messaging, but the default is all grey and is not easy to see at a glance the conversation between myself an the other party. Is there any theme or tweats available?
Thanks.

+1 to that, i've searched but did not find nothing in the phone, no picture, no registry to indicate htc messages location or themes. it would be cool to have colored bubbles or something nice and plesant to view.
good idea
+1
+1 too
The messages between you & the others kinda have the same background.
Hope there's like an alternate background color with gray & dark gray or customize your own color background.
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
Hey everyone,
I have a really nice dark MIUI theme running on my CM7.1 RC1 and I really like the notification icon that is displayed for the stock messaging app when i get SMS/MMS. However, i also use ChompSMS and for some strange reason, the CM7 theme doesn't display the same notification icon for ChompSMS. The stock ChompSMS icons look really bad (no offense) and almost ruin my theme. Anyway, I have the latest ChompSMS apk (5.15) and the png file of the desired notification icon. My question is, can anyone either:
1. Teach me how to customize the notification icon for ChompSMS.
2. Or at least do it for me
The first is more preferable but hey, both will do just fine.
I have uploaded both the files, hopefully i won't get any trouble beacuse ChompSMS is free!
Oh, we had almost the same issue... sorry that I solved mine with somewhat like five years later than yours.

Hey to fix the bubble on text thing you should try pm'ing linsalata for a solution since on his Myn theme he has an add-on for it.
I'm sure this is on your list but Google music has black on black text in the notification dropdown

I have never used google music but I do know that some apps allow you to change the text color in the apps settings. Try that if that dont work I will look into it.

Im half way there at the moment. Its an xml edit and could have solution soon. Thanks.
No option for Google Music text color that I can find. It's pretty lean on options. But all the other notifications etc work just fine. Might just be an issue with G Music.
Updated OP to v1.2.
Posting rosie mods in post #2 now also.
Bump thread... updated theme 1.3 with landscape
Hi!
I further AOSP themed the Mods from Shaftenberg (all credits to him) to my needs and put them in together in one CWM flashable zip.
Only flash, when you are on Jelly Bean 4.1.2!
Do a Nandroid backup before flashing (or backup contacts.apk, phone.apk, messaging.apk and the corresponding .odex files if you are on a odexed rom), just in case you want to revert later.
What I did:
- Exchanged all remaining Moto icons with original or adapted CM10 AOSP icons - quite a lot.
- Boosted the contrast of the dark and light AOSP faces a little. Dark faces are displayed in (dark) Phone and Messaging. Light faces in Contacts.
- Adjusted some text, background and highlight colors.
- Changed the emoticons in Messaging to their CM10 counterparts (green androids).
- Darkened the very bright green Mailbox icon.
If someone still finds some ugly Moto icons, please post a screenshot.
These are all themed original Motorola APKs - so you won't get any side effects. Everything works as reliable as stock.
Brazilian users need to use the special braziian version.
Tools used for my modding activities:
- Virtuous Ten Studio
- ImageMagick (command line image manipulation)
- win-bash (UNIX Bash Shell for Windows)
- Greenfish Icon Editor Pro
- WinMerge
- Notepad++
- my brain
Changelog:
v1.1: Made the text in the thread selection screen of Messaging.apk brighter for better readability
v1.1.1: Recompiled APKs with the signature keys from the original files (they didn't work in some setups before). Corrected updater-script.
v1.2: Exchanged some more icons in Messaging.apk: Outgoing message face (only visible if you don't have a picture of yourself in Contacts), group icon.
v1.3: Background of unread messages in thread list is now colored in visible dark holo blue. Text color of outgoing messages is now standard holo light blue (#33b5e5). Exchanged emoticons to higher resolution versions.
v1.3_grey: In- and outgoing SMS/MMS messages in dark grey "message bubbles". (a little darker than shaftenberg's grey version, and without the grey background of the text input area). Text colour of outgoing messages white.
v1.4_grey: Edited the green smileys. Two of them were blurred, smaller and in a slighty different colour. These are now perfectly matched to the others. Smileys in text are displayed a little larger. Exchanged some more icons to AOSP/CM icons (messaging icon in notfication area and in Contacts, small grey faces on contact photos).
v1.5_grey: Edited the above mentioned smileys again. They had a little offset and I shifted them in the right position. Exchanged the messaging icon on the incoming call screen and ajusted the ring colour when locked on the messaging icon.
v1.6_grey: Exchanged some more icons I had overseen. Incl. send message icon in the missed call dialog on the notification list, and some other icons that I haven't seen in the running program yet (e.g. the high priority message icon on the notification bar, for which I had to make an own icon cause it has no correspondent on CM10)
v1.6.1_grey: Corrected the brightness of the voice search icon on the dialpad to match the other buttons on the dialpad.
v1.7: Changed green phone receiver symbols to grey AOSP version except the one on the dialer. trash symbol on "long press" symbol bar was darker than the other symbols, corrected that. Changed all icons on these long press menus to AOSP versions. Changed the order of icons on this menu on recent calls list to resemble the icon order on the corresponding menu in contacts. Changed some icons in messaging to AOSP version (new message, phone receiver, attachment clip, made a AOSP style foward message symbol as there is none in cm10)
v1.7.1: Changed the "angry" text emoticon because Moto used a completely wrong one.
v1.8: Now with extended set of AOSP smileys (6 more). Rearranged the smiley order. Changed some of the corresponding text emoticons to more common ones. Extended the emoticon parser with a lot of synonym emoticons.
v.1.8_darkContacts: I finally did it! And it was a lot of hard work to do all the necessary editing and find out all the switches in the XML files. Even had to change some values in the smali files. Now with hopefully perfectly "Holo dark" themed Contacts.apk. Please post screenshots if you find something not matching the dark holo theme.
v1.8.1: Some minor corrections. Reworked favorites star symbols (intensity, color, edges). Now holo blue instead of yellow in dark Contacts version. Search icon on Phone now has the same brightness as on Contacts, corrected the voice search icon on the dialpad to have the same brightness too.
v1.8.2: I finally found the reason for the white background on contact detail view in landscape view. It was a completely unnecessary background color definition very well hidden in the xml files. Simply a bug by the Moto coders. Removed it and now the background resembles the actual theme in both versions. Found some invisible icons in dark Contacts, corrected that. Did some minor color corrections in Messaging.
v.1.8.3_darkContacts: Found some light grey faces in group members editing screen. Changed them to dark version.
Screenshots are always appreciated, but that sounds nice. Specifically the green androids emoticons :highfive:

Im aware of this. But in this case Screenshots would have contained way too much personal information.
So I can install it without cwm ?
If so could you provide the original files to revert it if we don't like the new look?

If you want to install without cwm then use Root Explorer or any other root capable file explore, extract the zip, copy the apks to /system/app change permissions to -rw-r--- delete the corresponding .odex files if they still exist and reboot.
Backup the original apks and .odex files before you do this (or rename them to .apk.old and .odex.old) if you want the possibilty to revert.
Phone.apk, Contacts.apk not works on JB EU Retail, but the sms Works perfect.

Try this new version.
I changed the updater script to delete the .odex files because the new apks are deodexed.
Also made the text colour in the first screen (thread selection) of the messaging app brighter for better readability.

Yes, it's a CWM flashable ZIP. Do a Nandroid before, just in case you don't like it or something goes wrong.

I never had any problems. But to evaluate your problem I reverted to stock, installed my zip and as you said Phone and Contacts are not working.
I investigated a little and it was a problem with the signature of the apks. I recompiled with the original signature from the stock files and now everything is confirmed to be working.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

It works fine on armans infiniROM :good:
I love the CM-emoticons on sms.
What I noticed right now, that the sms-limit is up to 9.998 instead of the stock-maximum of 1.000
Is this your work or is this in armans ROM? I couldnt find any answer in your changelog or in the changelog of infiniROM

A version with dark grey "message bubbles" and white outgoing text on the SMS app is now available.
It's very similar to shaftenberg's grey version, but with a little darker grey shades and no other grey backgrounds.
