Android 5.0's new colour scheme - Android General

until android 3.0 The previous colour scheme for android was green (battery icon for example) until android 3.0 honeycomb came along .since then until this day its been a rather sexy blue. What do you think google will do with the next 5.0 key lime pie . stick with blue or go for a LIME GREEN
OPINIONS??

Please stick with the blue unless they are going for a white/black transparent look like on MIUI.

I like the blue but wanted to add that noone actually knows how if the next android will be a 5.0 revision. Could be a 4.3

That is very true more than likely it will be 5.0 because when its a major update they usually do it. Like ics to jb

Any UI with an excess amount of greenish color probably looks bad.

But i kind of thought that about blue and now i love it. they cant keep it blue forever..or can they?
Sent from my Nexus 4

I really think they should do transparancy sort of deal, but keep the blue deal. blue is indeed a cool color and very easy on the eyes (in my oppinion). But lets see what they do, im sure it will look nice and neat. Like jb was compared to ics. I cant wait to see the integration with google chrome and google now/search. =)

It will be based of green and an orange red color.

I'd like to see transparent with different colours for different events; use the prime colours like they do with the Nexus logo and LWP.

How about finally putting in custom coloring we have had it for years with ROMs Google needs to finally code it in

Why not in 5.0 just give us the option to choose how hard could it be.

I remember reading some where that Google hired the webos guy to sort the design out for android. So we could see a touch of that flavour in there somewhere.
He also commented that android is only smear 30% (if I remember correctly) complete in its design. Basically expect big changes!
Had a quick look for the article but can't find it.

Holo and blue match great to ICS and jelly bean, :good:
I just think what would it look like in green...

i want to see a complete overhaul of the UI.

That will never happen. It dilutes the brand and you lose the identity. There's a reason Apple and Google don't support "skins".

Matias Duarte has been with Google since around the Honeycomb release. He has had his hands on ICS and especially Jelly Bean. But that doesn't mean he is going to start radically changing colors. I think Android has moved away from the cartoonish look since Matias has been at Google. And I don't expect that to change but to continue progressing (by keeping things more simple/flat and muted).

I love green as in pure GB!!!

Android and brand identity don't go together . There is no brand identity. Every app looks different and you can easily add in some color choices and stay within the holo standards.

How about same color scheme, but with a unified ui, Google now, phone, messaging, music, play, etc are all different.

I'm talking about Android brand identity. They aren't going to make colour themes. It makes zero sense for them to do so.

This is after a couple of hours. Still need tons of work but you can see the dark carbon fiber on status bar and the new image for the slide bar. Hard to tell but also added the header. All the icons have to be redone as they dont match the darker look of espresso.

What color should i make the accents? I was going with yellow, but I'm not sure that that many people would like it. Multiple colors can be made but a little direction would be great to start off with
I think I would like an orange color to go with the gray.

OK... so for the people that want this theme... what rom are you running?
CyanogenMod is what I'm theming on because it's what I prefer and what most of you will be using in times to come, but I can get this up and running on sense as well. The status text on CM is also easily changed via spare parts
Keep in mind that status bar text is not editable on any rom that is not de-odexed so your text will be white rather than orange.
Anyone feel like testing? theme run's great but feedback is always nice
Beta released for CM 5.0.8 test 3. Please let me know how you guys like it. I'm taking a break for tonight and will work more tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll edit progress bars to be orange and finish up the framework. After that I'll jump into apps.
You guys want orange icons too?
Currently running rooted stock sense with your red theme. I'm steering clear of CM until it's ready for prime time.

(Request) For the ladies... a Pink theme for Cyanogen 6.1

This would make life super awesome, I know it's CYANogenmod, but my phone case/protector is pink, as is my desktop (usually). What would make life awesome would be a pink theme already based on the existing 6.1 framework. I love the black of cyanogen, and i'm not talking like having the lettering in every frame or even the "black" turning pink, but a good bit of pink tossed in there, somehow. I would love it!
Thanks!

Yes of course I'll be making a new thread here in 'Themes and Apps' once I finish, and post the link here.
Unfortunately a few things came up Friday/Saturday that needed to get taken care of, which in turn took up the themeing time
Sooo, the new ETA is now sometime before the end of Tuedsay - assuming I get all the .9.pngs and images working correctly the first or second time
Awesome! Thank you so much!

Yes and no
Unfortunately the .9.pngs are giving me a few problems here and there. As you can see on the attached pictures the pull down bar, pop up dialogue boxes, and the activity title bar needs to get fixed.
So I gotta go back and edit them until they look as they should (trial and error). It's pretty close to being finished though
I'm traveling today (Wed) and will be fairly busy for a few days, but I'll make time and get it up before Christmas. I was really hoping to get it done today before I left - hence the 3am clock time haha But as I said the .9.pngs didn't turn out as planned.
Edit: When I first put out the theme it'll have the modded framework and mau5 keyboard. Then I'll be re-theming other system apps shortly after
Also if you want the colors changed a little bit (darker/brighter) or something just know.
that looks so badass, you have no idea. I like the pink. I dont' like the real light pinks, I like something with some saturation, and that does it really well. it looks awesome. only thing I could even think of to spice it up would to be giving the boring "grey" areas something about them. A gradient effect? something to make them look a little "metallic" thus having some depth. I'm sure in the future something like that can happen. But heck at this point I'll take anything. I love how it looks so far, though
why for the ladies??

White 'Skin' (As in the theme) for Htc One X

Is it possible to make a skin for the one x with converted colors (from the colored/black ones to white, as main color)?
What I mean by this is ,instead of having black backgrounds, headers, etc ,
It'll be white instead, and the text will be black, or light blue/green.
Like when you go 'Settings', where everything is white but the text and headers.
I know we can change the Images of these to white, but can the text be converted to black ?
I think it would really match the 'white' ver. of the phone and would look really sleek,clean and simple
Is this possible?
I've seen it done before, excluding the text colour.

AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project, and for our phone that means ROMs like CM10 and AOKP. It's a totally different version of Android so that's why I asked for clarification.

Mistakes Google made in kit kat.

Hello guys,
I am on android kit kat right now and I can tell you many reasons why it is poor cosmetically.
First it looks like they took jelly bean and slapped a kit kat wrapper on it:
Look at the settings app, it has some blue colored toggles. Wait...... The new stock color base is white. What gives?
Now, the transparency issues. I like the transparent status bar a lot. But slide down the notification center. Its solid. That's right solid, they should make it transparent so the UI actually go in sync.
That's all i can think of right now. So anyone with a nexus or running a custom rom comment below if they think something is a little off in Googles new OS.
