How can I basic theme? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am running PA Beta2 and I want to replace the blue stock text and other blue things like loading bars etc to another color (preferably orange)
Is there a way without theming the whole thing like the white battery bar etc because I like that.
Thanks in advance

Please and thank you!

Any green ICS themes for the NS4G? (CM9)

Curious since Google isnt getting me anywhere. I'm wondering if there are any green ICS themes for the Nexus S 4G running Cyanogenmod 9.
I mean like, all of the statusbar icons are green instead of blue, including text, and some of the UI elements, like when pulling down the status bar.
Blue isn't my taste. D:

[THEME] Simple Black and Blue Synergy Nightlies ICS[updated 9/7/12]

Here is a simple theme I have been making for myself and decided to share with you guys. It is very minimal as I don't like major themes. It Is black and Ics blue. It themes the systemui, framework, contacts, dialer, gallery, mms. I made the toggles in the pulldown a little smaller on the height to not waste space like they are stock and they are very slightly transparent, and the brightness slider is removed because I don't use it and think it wastes space also. The messaging app I used some of my sense 4 bubbles I had made from my rezound, The bubble colors can be changed in the app settings, and there are a few different backgrounds in there also. As always make a backup in recovery first in case you don't like or have problems. Just flash the zip in recovery.
Updated to r2 fixed the status bar clock so it is blue now, and themed the phone apk to match the dialer and contacts. Also adding in a flashable zip to add the brightness slider back in. Flash the theme first then the slider zip if you want the brightness slider. The brightness slider is the zip attached to the bottom of this post Pulldown_Bright just flash that after the theme.
Updated to R3 now. Has new dialer, dimed down the blue contact pictures a little for unknown contacts, fixed a few little things in the framework that weren't themed, and added a different bubble style to the 4th style in the app.
Updated to R4. No huge changes just new contact picture backgrounds, a few buttons here and there,and blue spinner in the framework, changed the bottom row icons on the dialer to white. And has the newer updated systemui thats in my other thread. Havent changed the screenshots yet so they dont reflect the changes.
Updated to R5. Some new icons here and there and I finally found the gray behind the ok and cancel buttons and the reboot menu. Added in the fading to blue instead of a hard line in some places. Added in seperate flashable to remove call recording so the phone apk stays themed, and as always the brightness slider for those who want it. Make sure you flash the full theme first. Updated all the screenshots also.
Update R6. Just a few small things in the framework, fixed the little line by the settings in the pulldown to be ics blue, and fixed when you touch your notifications in the pulldown its ics blue now instead of darker blue. Made all the divider lines in the settings blue also.
FULL THEME HERE

Any chance you can make a flash for an ICS blue clock qnd possibly make a flash for to enable the brightness slider? Trying to find an all-blue app that doesn't change to much about synergy and this caught my eye. Thanks either way!

I fixed the clock so it is blue now. I also added in a zip to put the brightness slider back for those that prefer it. I also themed the phone apk in the new version so that it matches the dialer, before if you were in a call the buttons didnt match.
Looks great. Thanks

Maybe the deep blue bubble color in the SMS? Like in beans ROM. I always thought that looked really clean.

You wouldnt happen to have a screenshot of those would you? I hate to download the whole rom just to see what they look like. I can make just about anything for the sms bubbles colors are easy and I can make about any shape or style they just take a little bit to make since they are draw 9 png's.

Yeah those bubbles are in the stock message apk I think just ugly colored. I may play around with them a little. Im kinda bored with the sense 4 bubbles since ive used them for a while before this phone. I may make the blue the same as the rest of the theme. Either way I will leave the way it is now and whatever I do as an addon probably, so people have options.
You guys should use the synergy secMMS.apk for your re theming. They tweaked it and fixed a lot of annoyances; namely the option to turn off the 'screen on every time a message is received feature'.
I hate using the stock MMS app for multiple reasons but its mainly the color and screen on when receiving a message. Just figured I'd throw it out there! Thanks!

It already uses there newest one with that option Its in the settings
So I'm not sure what I'd recommend for the dialer. I definitely like the white numbers better than blue, but the value outlines are rubbing me the wrong way. I'm not sure what I'd suggest though because no lines would look unfinished.
It is growing on me.
The pull down is awesome.

Yeah I feel the same on it lol. It looks weird without the outlines because its all black. I might try like a 50% transparent blue outline so it doesnt stand out as much. Or I could go ics blue solid keys, but that might be way to much lol. Or maybe just dark grey or something on the keys. Ill get something figured out, it took me like a week with the pulldown to get everything the way I like it.
I do agree with u as well!!!

Just wondering if the status bar is fully transparent and if it is could we get it a little less? I haven't installed yet but it looks like it could be hard to see certain things on it.
Will deff. use this when your set with everything!
Thanks for the theme. Looks good and works great!
I kinda of like where the dialer is headed. I prefer the ics blue, but it does look a little blocky. Not sure what to suggest. Maybe no outline, and color the buttons ics blue but with a gradient from transparent to blue? I dunno.
The only thing I could do without is the battery mod. I like one circle. 2 confuses me.
But I can live with it. Thanks again!

No the status bar is about the same as the stock synergy one on transparency. Then I changed it a little from the screenshots to where when you get notifications its darker transparent behind them. You can see the notifications pretty well. I dont like the solid black behind them to blocky for me or something. Its to where it looks good and you can see them well too.

What do you guys think of this for the dialer buttons.

Any advise on black.

I'm looking for an app or something that will give me a black theme, icons, most importantly when I open an app (like CNN, PlayStore, etc.) It will have a black background with white text.
I tried using the inversion setting but is then trows off my already black wallpaper to looking white and stuff. I have vision issue which is why I am looking for this.
I am running stock but am rooted. I was Running the carbon rom for this but got tired of installing nightlies for hammerhead. I'm just going to wait until they have a production version.
Thanks in advance,
Angel

Just curious, but is the reason for wanting black everything to try and conserve battery life? Because as far as I know that only works for AMOLED displays.

"I have vision issue"
That's what he said so no its not battery life
To your problem:
Install a Rom with inverted ui like mahdi or slimkat and flash the slim gapps. The alomst everything is a nice dark black

Search black icons in the store, heres one recommendation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.threekzerothree.softinsetroundicons.black
Use slimROM, a lot of people have this thing for black and holo blue and that is what slim uses, and you can enable darkslim or whatever. I think they have a milestone so you can load that and it will be stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-t2511512
Go for Mahdi ROM and flash Slim GAPS with it.

Check out team black out. They have flashable zips for tons of apps even for Google now. That way you can keep stock Rom and the okay Google functionality and have blacked out apps. That's what I have, and it's awesome.
Can you link me to the black team?

Nope, that was enough to get it to show up without being burried by 50 trillion shady things lol
BTW if you want a standard rom in black and white with no blue! Try "Elixr" good stock and fully black and white, when you add icons

You already have the Team Blacked Out link so here is a more obscure theming app. This app allows you to override the colors on most Web pages. It works with both browsers and apps that display html pages within the app itself (eg. Flipboard). I use it on both my Nexus 5&10. Read how it works and how to install here:
[HOW-TO] Blacked out theme effect for Web pages (needs root)
A theme able alternative to YouTube which has some additional features is called Viral. Find it on the play store. That app allows no end of UI Color theming.
You can also use the XPosed framework and two modules (Gravity Box and HKTheme Manager) to implement dark themes including Color finer tuning nav and status bars. Here is a dark theme on the playstore which works with HKTheme Manager.

Good luck
I like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Based on all the information everyone contributed to this thread I was able to customize my phone to work with the dark themes. Again this was requested because of some vision issues I have and despite one individual who decided to rant off without reading why I requested this, everyone else's suggestions help me set up my phone to work perfectly. Thank you all again.
