Change icon color

One of the reasons i love android so much is the ability to customize your phone. What id like to know is whether or not there is any way to change the color of the application icons?

Hello fellow Ontarian... I don't think you can just change the colour of the icons without extracting and actually making an icon pack with your edited icons. Once you do that, then you can use what I use to change the icons. I use Folder Organizer. There's also Bettercut. Here's an example of the icon pack I use.

BTW, no need to be rooted to change these icons.

Thanks man im going to give it a shot. Im trying to learn a bit more about apk files and fidling with them. But, just the same im glad there is an easy solution.
Cheers,
Brunswick

Change font color on lockscreen??

Does anyone know if there's a setting on the GS7 that allows font color changes? I want to change the font color on the lockscreen. Right now i'm using a wallpaper that's quite white/bright and it's hard to see the time, date, etc. without root is required. thanks!

Check out the theme store. That's the only option, afaik, without root.

Settings > Search "Clock" > Clock Style > Color (Bottom right)

its possible to change the lockscreen color to black on rooted device?

looking for a pixel theme for emui 5.0 that has white nav bar buttons

I have got my honor 8 today!
I have found a few different pixel themes and have tried them most of them dont change the nav bar to the one on the pixel, one of the themes I have does but the nav bar buttons are not white. they are white when the device boots and no apps are opened but as soon as I open an app the buttons go to a grey colour. this is quite disopointing.
any ideas?

Can u ask the author changing the nav bar for example?

Have a look on the themes thread on here.
I'm sure one of them has Pixel nav bar.

I have attached screenshots of the issue.
the developers name is Aniket from what I can gather maybe he has a XDA page as my comment will not show.

Any that are available on XDA you will find there.
Other place you will find themes is via Google+

Have a look a the App "Theme Creator" in play store, ot should be possible to change the nav bar icons there and I guess it works even to change it from one to another, but i am not quite sure!

Swap systemui file from the one theme with the second from another. HWT file you can open with any archive program, like 7zip.

Ok, i will do this when i come home
EDIT: both navbar icons are the same - it's depends from the navbar background if it is white or grey. In the second theme (BTW - SimpleUI is my theme ) navbar colors are darker, so icons are white.
