The new google voice actions is really slick looking grey/ steel and functions beautifully
It would be awesome to see the sleek look of this app brought throughout the entire os, it actually brings me to wonder what gingerbread will look like if this is the newest thing from google... perhaps it will take a turn that way!
untill then... i hope someone with the time would take intrest in this ^_^
interesting obversation by the way!
Gingerbread is expected dates are mid- October (around 15 -16th).
So we really don't have long to wait.
Hmm like a Carbon steel theme? I like that Idea too!
Really, the new "voice actions" box looks exactly like the new widget theme Google introduced with Eclair. Nothing new or exciting here, other than that this is the biggest box we've seen with this theme (until now it's been smaller, like the music or news/weather widgets). Would be cool to see them continue to integrate it, though.
Personally, though, I think they should run with the new Froyo look. The semi-transparent background from the new Launcher2 dock, or the keys that appear on the Froyo stock keyboard when you swipe up? Overlay those on top of this widget background. Use that as the background for all the widgets, and the keys on the keyboard, really anything in the OS that is supposed to be dark.
I also wonder if Google will ever exchange the status bar for a dark one, since that's what every custom skin (Sense, Blur, TouchWiz) and almost every theme from XDA does. Seems obvious that's what most people want. (Not me; I prefer it light, but I'm just sayin')
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.
[GUIDE][MOD][APP] Modify chomp SMS to make it look exactly as SGY SMS app
Anyone considered theming the stock messaging app? Its actually not that different from wp7 messages app except the colors. Would quite like to see this happen, I love the black background. Seems it would only take editing a few Res files, tho more than I know how to do.
i made this for myself and though i would share it. i use GO SMS Theme Maker 3.0 and i themed everything even though half the stuff i have never seen in the app.
Still editing some things here and there like text colors.
I am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.

I'm not looking for a dialer. Please see the original post.
