Hello Guys,
Here is another Xposed Module I have been working on. It is in alpha stage with a few features for now but will definitely get more as I learn more. I call it XBackground and of course requires the Xposed Framework already installed. I am sharing it now even if it is not fully developed to get feedback and suggestions.
XBackground - is an xposed module that runs on top of the xposed framework and its main function (for now) is the ability to let you change the Holo Dark background and Holo Light background used by some stock apps as well as many apps from the Play Store to any custom image from your Gallery or any color you like. It also can replace your Notification Panel background to any color/transparency or to any custom image from your Gallery.

How to install and use?
1. Download and install, then activate it in Xposed Installer and reboot.
2. To use, just run the app and say you want to change the holo dark background, just tick the color and choose the color you want from the color picker, then soft reboot. Or if you want to use a custom image, untick the color option and choose the image from the Gallery then soft reboot.
NOTE: Changing from color to image and vice versa always require a soft reboot. Changing from one color to another color always require a reboot. And changing from one image to another image does not require a reboot.
Credits: @rovo89 for the amazing Xposed Framework. BIG THANKS.
Nice work buddy, keep surprising us thanks :good:
Edit: Working very well using both colors and photo profiles
this is nice..
i can change the color of the background..but i cannot change it with picture from the gallery..

I wish it was possible but at the moment it is not.
thank you, it is getting more and more white for me. one question, i have the option to change the background Holo Dark AND Holo Light - is it possible to switch from Theme Holo Dark to Theme Holo Light (system) with the corresponding textcolour - like tell the system "let´s go, now use the Light Theme with the right textcolour"?
P.S.: just a little typo, not important but a typo in XBackground - there is Notifilcation Panel Background
i tried it on my tab 2 p3100 but its not working is there any chance to get it working bro
edit- working fine on note n7000 thanks for awesome app
Nice mode. Thanks a lot mate. Notification panel mods are working fine but I have trouble applying holo light. Any suggestion?
I'm on ultimate rom v6 and s4 statusbar with 23 toggles.
Great work.but I want to know which apps use holo light theme so that i can check. Notification panel and holo dark work fine.

Hi xperiacle, I would really like this to work but I can't get it to. I'm on cm10.1... I try to change holo background colour to black but doesn't work on reboot. could you please help me out. Cheers
sir is it possible for us to just set the transparency of Holo Dark background and Holo Light background so that its background is our wallpaper?
How can I delete an image which I have set to default background?
After testing: I dont like that an image in the notification panel will be compressed during close. pls add an option?
Is it possible to make the "Wireless and networks", "Device" and etc category background become to other colours or transparent?
Thanks!
Sorry for my English.

If your still having a problem with the black text try putting the framework-res.apk in manually with root explorer!
I personally place the framework in the "overcom rom.zip" from my desktop
So maybe the cwm update is not working properly!
I dont have the text problem???
i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque
the brightness bar is cool

I'm back again and tested your update.
First tru CWM and second tru Root explorer.
Everytime i wiped the Dalvik and still the same problem.
So i did a new rom flash currently Overcome 1.6.3.
Did the same thing over again to apply your theme.
As you can see there is still a difference between your screenshot and mine.
- i got text beneath the powerbuttons
- my display brightness shows text
- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

Did not work still the same issue.
The powerbutton and display brightness text.
But the notifications text has change into white font
well.. its not a bug but the problem im having is.. for example, when i pull down the notification bar, i can see the transparent layer which is fine but the transparency or alpha value for the transparent layer is too low for my liking. i sometimes cant distinguish between the items on notification and the items in the screen below the notification transpancy layer.

ROM developers already spend enough time to provide a quality product, but not all of us are always 100% happy with the way the ROM looks. Theme developers will make different themes for a particular ROM, but even still not everyone wants every change introduced in the theme. It can be cumbersome for developers and themers alike to thoroughly please each of its followers. That's where I'd like to change the game with the GSIII - rather than having to rely on a themer to make something that looks close to what you'd like, you'll be put in the driver seat and choose your own modifications.
What options are you presented with?
- Battery style
- Clock position and color (stock grey or ics blue)
- Brightness slider (won't work on stock ROMs)
- Placement of the date/clear button bar
- Transparency % of the notification area
- Lidroid toggle style (keep your current or use my slimmed ICS blue ones)
- Number of lidroid toggles shown w/o scrolling
- Text labels or not below those toggles
However, these changes can't be made possible without a little side effect. In this first version, the style of the clock, date, clear button, and toggles use the ICS blue color. In future versions of the theme system, additional styles will be provided!

Installation Instructions
- Flash with your recovery of choice
- On your first round of things, use the "Create master backup" option in the menu. This will create an ultimate restore point of what your phone currently looks like. You will always be able to restore back to this point if you wish!
- Flash the zip again in the same recovery session (I'll make this more streamlined in the next update)
- Theme things as you wish
- Reboot your phone and enjoy
Download v2.2
Hit thanks, enjoy the theme edits, and let me know what you'd like in future versions!

Came from MIUI on a Droid X. Had something like this. Could get rid of the battery icon altogether and just show a line across the top (could even pick the color). Does the download currently allow for this?

Correct. Flash it from whichever recovery you use - should work fine on CW or TWRP.
Everyone, once you've tried the thing out and played with it to create maybe 1 or 2 styles, feel free to provide some suggestions of what you'd like for version 2. Unless you guys have some objections, the next thing I'll be working on is a JB styled notification area. Did anybody actually like the TouchWiz style? I found it to be ugly, but if enough people wanted it I'll provide that as another available theme to use in v2.

I second this with the option of having an animated image.
This is pretty awesome. Only thing I would change is the white background on the installer. It is super bright.....

Inverted app installer
Anything and every thing you can add that would help NOOBs.
This IMHO is a monster leap for the avg/inexperienced Android modder

I may be interpreting your first post wrong but you plan to allow for color picks or just different theme choices in the future?
And how about lockscreen options?
30% transparent on the statusbar might be the sweet spot for me. Any chance of adding increments of 10, rather than 20?

Sorry, I guess this is a necropost, but I'm looking for the same thing, and have been for quite some time.
I'm rooted, running CM 10.1, and running the XPosed framework. I've seen a couple of themes, but they always do things like change the dialer layout, or something... I really just want to turn that shade of blue white, and I guess just doing that in the notification bar would be fine.

Anything is possible if PAC ROM already flashed in your device. It has so many option to customize your phone's look and feel. Have a try and good luck.
Is there any xposed module that can change the notification panel's background color to match that of the running current app via the color of the statusbar?
I prefer the holo blue accents in the settings menu over having everything white/grey and some ROMs already come with everything whited out. I'd like to add back the holo blue.

Gravity Box, which is an Xposed module, allows you to add color to the icons in the status bar. The default is the holo blue but it can be set to anything.

Hi there, I'm looking for a dark theme/app/patch/module for the stock 4.1.2. I can activate inverted colours (monochrome) in the browser under accessibility, however with the browser I'm looking for this feature but to still show pictures with colour.
Maybe this is possible with an app, xposed module or theme for the device, which can provide a dark theme to the entire phone?
I'm running a black background already.
