It really isn't necessary to have a full theme support in these AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs because most of the skins made for them suck major ass anyway.
All you need is one single option that will change the holo blue color across the system into another color. This includes all the status icons, the separator line as well as the dark background tint.
but instead, we have these skins that change some of these colors but not others, or they also apply a stupid tint to icons and stuff. So necessary!
See the attached image? That is ALL I need, I just opened it in Photoshop and adjusted its HUE. But instead, there are all these custom options to change the color of this, change the color of that... You can't just change the color of one element and not the others because then they won't match!

Use a program to alter the theme. I forget the name of it, just Google it. Open the theme with the app and make the adjustment.
you can use ui tweaker: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
fantastic freeware app that works well. i'm using wm6.1 and it's flawless. there are 4 tabs to choose from for changing the colors. for your needs, i would think that the tab "system colors" or something like that will change the color of the bar you want. just remember that except for the today colors, you would have to peform a soft reset to enable the changes. also, you would need to practice a little to find out that the bar you're tweaking / changing colors is indeed the one you want. i often made mistakes in changing the notification bars and ended up changing the color of other areas.
cheers
Hello all,
I was wondering if there was any way to change the accent color to a different color than the tiles? For example, if I set my accent color to black, the black tiles work well. However, searching with Bing highlights the keywords with the accent color..making them unreadable with black. So is there any way to change the text color in this case and keep the text a different color? I have a fully unlocked rom so any changes can be made. Thanks.
Read through the "custom theme" threads on the dev & hacking sub-forum, and possibly download some of the files in question and take a look at the settings they use. The accent color is actually only one of many parts of a theme, so (depending on what options are actually controllable - I haven't checked) you could possibly create a theme that used dark accent colors but a not-so-dark "text accent color" or similar?
Is it possible to add a pic to the strat screen backgroud? I know we can add colors of our choice.....so lets try and figure out how to replace a pic or othey types of screen picture
You're far from the first to ask. It's going to be very difficult if not impossible on the stock ROMs. Changing the color is already part of the phone's theme code, even though it only ships with two themes (light, which species the background be 0xFFFFFFFF, and dark, which specifies that it be 0xFF000000). Changing those colors is just a matter of changing theme values in the registry and such. There's nowhere to specify an image, though.
Does anyone know how to change the accent colors? Seems odd that there are a myriad of themes with all possible color combinations but no option to change the accent color manually. Thoughts?
The only way I've heard of is picking a theme with a accent color you like and then disabling/changing the rest of the theme. However I have not tried this myself only read about it. So I'm not completely sure if even that is possible.
Why they don't have accent color as an option by default is beyond me.
Hey everyone, been trying to achieve a black and red system color and using the vampiress theme I was able to achieve the system look I wanted, but now I don't like the icon look. I know I could customize and use the icons from another theme but I cannot find anything that is as clean as the classic theme. Please let me know if you find a theme without weird icon borders or a way to use the icons from the classic theme. Alternatively If I could change the system accent color that would be great.
