Is it possible to change the font color in the settings tab, calendar etc....?
i have a transparent theme and with a lot of wallpapers you cant really see the white fonts clearly. need more contrast.
thanks.
any ideas? i need it...
Theme for Overcome 1.6.X (CWM)
This is just the start of my theming with help and suggestions i will improve it!
The Transparent notification bar will only work with a live wallpaper! (Static wallpaper doesn't scale under the bar so remains black)
If you want a static wallpaper try "multi picture" livewall from the market
(Im using launcher pro and 180dpi)
Thanks to "galaxyer, kay kiat88, Rainbow ng and others" for all the help!!!

I love your minimalistic theme and i flashed it right away.
But there are some difference between your screenshots and your flashed theme on my Tab.
See my screenshot and yes i wiped the dalvik after applying your theme.

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?

Try the new update! but not sure if it will work! i placed the strings.xml and arrays.xml in all the values folders (locales) so hopefully it will!
if not let me know! i will look into it when i get the chance!!

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.
Download link?

Hi folks.
I have looked everywhere for help with my omnia 7's background accent colour and one other minor issue with no results.
I have the dft custom rom on it and when i choose dark accent it goes green!
Also i cannot email a picture right away after taking it because when i go to options after taking pic there are no options listed.
Thanks in advance
you can look here or here
maybe you had installed advanced config, then you can change directly the accent colors!
Thanks for reply.
I have tried that with no success.
See attached for pics....one pic shows the background accent and it is already set to dark but showing a kind of green..and the other is me trying to send a picture directly to an email contact where there are no options showing up.
Thanks again
Got it by installing metro theme
Cheers anyway
the only problem with changing the background color, the system dont support it now. if you look in to the email. or me hub or sometimes on other places like apps that only have black and white as "standard" in theyre xml files, the colors are messed up and are disturbing you from reading. it look good on the start screen but far from usable state right now. i whish we could manage to define all colors in the whole UI, not only a few things.
try to flash another custom rom or change your radio rom version
Hi. I'm theming my GB framework and decided to make all popups dark(gray like ICS). I know the easy way is just to change the popup png colors to change the popup color but I'm having trouble with the font/text color. How do I make the black font color in the popup to white so that it is more readable on the gray popup? Please tell me which part of the styles.xml and what to change.. Thanks

Does anyone know how to change the notification bar colour from black to white?
Do you mean the regular emui notification bar? It adapts to the background image you set, so just set a brighter image or edit your current background to include a white bar at the top, though that would look a bit ugly.
If you mean the background when you pull the notification bar down, then you should have a look at custom emui themes, or even make your own somehow.
No i meant the actual expanded notification bar as the black doesn't work well with most apps and huawei uses black font as well when displaying notifs. I only think huawei themes work with stock launcher? And i use nova... Thanks anyway
I think the themes work everywhere, no matter what launcher (at least the notification bar part should). Not all themes include a modified notification bar though, so I think you could try one that definitely does change the notification bar and see it works for you in Nova launcher as well.
I'm attaching a theme I know for sure features a different notification bar for you to try. I also know it's terribly ugly but it's just for testing purposes, once you confirm that it does change the notification bar color for you, we could start disassembling the theme to only take out the interesting parts and adapt them to a different theme after changing the image from greenish to something more white-ish
PS. I had to change the extension to .zip for the board to accept the attachment, please change it to .hwt after you download it and move it into "/sdcard/HWThemes" so the theme manager can find it.
