[Q] ui element changes- - General Questions and Answers

I have the option to change ui element colors and transparency such as the stauts bar on PA primou. But when I make any changes it does nothing...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

... well actually "nothing" is not accurate- it shows the change such as from white to red in the little box on the menu, but the change does not actually take effect.
do these type of changes only stick after a reboot? or is does it have to do with some sort of locked theme preference?

How to change the colour of a disappearing ok/close in a dialog?

Since I changed some colours with UI Tweaker, the ok/close in dialog boxes disappeared. Probably because the ok/close is black on a black background. Maybe it was changed when I selected Black Bars for taskbar and softkeys. After a soft reset, it is visible a few times and then it always disappears again. This never happens with the ok/close in the top task bar, only in windows like in the attached image.
Please see the attached screen capture where there should be an ok/close button on the top right of the dialog to close QuickClear (red arrow).
After a long search on the forum and Google, I didn't find any solution yet.
I am using a Mio A201 with WM 5.
Could you please help with:
- the location and name I have to search for in UI Tweaker to change this colour?
- the registry key to change it?
- the change to make in the theme or elsewhere?
Thanks for your help.
THe quick way to do this is to change the theme on settings/today.
This should then make the ok visible. The UI tweek settings only apply to the theme that you were using it on when you changed the settings.... thats how i got round it anyway when i got carried away and turned all text black on black backgrounds

Changing the theme was not enough, I also had to delete the registry entries under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\"name of theme".tsk
and then reload the theme, then it was ok.
Thanks very much for your help.

Just want a black status bar for CM6

Hello, hopefully this easy an easy question but I just rooted and installed CM6 last night, loving Chrome to Phone and some of the other froyo goodness. Just not feeling the off white status bar/ notifications area. Is there a simple way to change this, not really interested in a full theme with icons and all that if it isnt necessary.
Thanks
If you just want a solid black background, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Notifications colors and scroll down to "Custom notification bar". From there you can choose any color you want. It may require a reboot to take effect.
Exactly what I was needing, thank you
Haven't used cyanogen since I had my g1, second android phone since then lol

I've tried this, set it for black and rebooted, but the status bar is still white. The Bar Color setting shows a solid black circle in the middle with a hex value of #ff00000, but the status bar is still black characters on a white bar. Am I doing this wrong?
Black is
#000000
White is
#ffffff
what you posted above is nothing.... but you might have typed a few too many 0 on it... if so then ff0000 is red.
Black bar and Sense Icons
If you are interested and are running CM6 test 8. and have s-off. Here is a metamorph I made today for the sense status bar and icons, and the sense app icons.

Sorry for the necropost, but would this work on a Hero running CM6?

After you get hte color you want you have to press the cirle in the center, if you hit back it wont apply. but it will remember hte selection you made. I had that same problem

Status Bar Icon Color

Is there a way to change the color of the status bar icons yet?
The stock white is killing me, My eyes are not what they use to be. In past phones I had changed them to a bright green which was easy to read.
I would also be happy If I could make those icons larger somehow.
I also have a hard time seeing the notifications on my lock screen, Larger text would be great.
One would think Android would give us an option for visually impaired just like they did for the hearing impaired
Thanks
You could go to settings -> display -> zoom screen and font
There you can change the size of things on your screen, and make fonts bigger.
Thanks, I just tried that, it doesnt change the size of the status bar nor the lock screen notifications

Notify Oxygen OS that theme is changed

Hi, I'm trying to use Tasker to change the theme with light, dark theme, but every time I changed it, it won't reflect the actual display theme. When I set it to black, the display settings show that theme is black bit the actual theme is still light. I tried restarting systemUI but only the status bar gets changed.

Statusbar black font / gesture indicator white background

I actually love the 12.2.4 update (I knew what I was getting into and was fine using the poco launcher). But I have this issue where the status bar is black sometimes and the gesture indicator has this annoying white bar behind it that really looks ugly... (see screenshot) Do I have to uninstall other launchers? Or should I reset poco launcher?
[E] After uninstalling nova launcher it was gone, but now it's back
The status bar is black since miui 12, if you have a bright background. I don't know who is the brilliant developer, that thought this is a good idea.
Try changing the background, or try the settings under "more dark mode options" - "adjust wallpaper to dark mode" with ON and OFF.
I have a blue background, which also turns the status bar black, if I turn the mentioned setting off.

Thx for the suggestion! But I don't use dark mode at all. It also turns dark when I'm on light mode and I get that ugly bar behind the gesture indicator at the bottom.
I think it has something to do with display size setting in accessibility (or DPI). When I use display size S or XS, I don't have the issue only with L or when I set DPI lower than 392 (which is stock).. But why!?
[e] upon further testing I found out that it's a combination of setting DPI below 392 and the wallpaper... Maybe it's because of the colors in the wallpaper or the size or I don't know but certain (scrolling) wallpapers in combination with low DPI produce this bug with gesture indicator and status bar color pretty sure it has to do with bright/dark color but not sure. Weird stuff, but it seems like I fixed it.
