When running the Chrome app on some pages the address bar changes colors. I'm pretty sure this is due to the page creators adding some kind of theme to the page.
My question is, can this be disabled? Is there like some kind of setting that will force Chrome to ignore the coloring and just leave it the regular gray of the app? I find the colors on that part of the UI annoying and distracting.
Also, sorry if this is not the correct place to start a thread like this but I didn't know where else to do it.

Is possible transform statusbar_background in trasparency?? Sorri for my English!!!
Not by just making the png transparent... I tried that but it turned the statusbar all black
Not without framework modifications because the way it is currently implemented means that the client (app) currently running doesn't draw below the status bar.
So, even if you make it transparent somehow there is nothing below it.
so is there any oportunity to modify framework in this way?
i realy would like to have transparent status bar
ive always thought that the notification bar should be taken away
This subject is discussed at length in the Themes section of the forum.

reading is fundamental, also guess what this forum has handy little search feature located at the top right corner!!!
had to get rid of the evil post count lol
Nope. at least it hasnt been done yet... mebbe someday
You know, I've always wanted to know if there are any changes anyone has made to that aspect of the framework... I would love a thinner bar at the top.
mine was transparent on the HERO rom that i had, i forgot which rom it was, i think it was jac 7.6.something.. it was kind transparent but it was tinted black with darker checker boards. i'm talkign about the notification bar when you scroll it down that whole page
They are talking about making the status bar transparent, and it hasnt been done because it causes errors, or at the very least, it just returns as a solid color. There is a thread discussing the problems with this and the launcher background being transparent. And as much as you dont want to sift through all those posts, what makes you think I want to find it for you? Dont be so lazy.
i thought it was easily done, the only problem being that the wallpaper stops at the status bar, hence it being all black. or am i mistaken?

I believe I tried it once, and it was all black. There is nothing underneath it but black screen. You are not mistaken.
This post is for Anders, as it's the simplest place I can post the images for viewing.
When I select "dot paginator top," regardless of whether "show desktop indicator" is on or not, after using an application like camera, the icons are shifted over ever so slightly. The bottom icon tray strangely enough is not.
This is with versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
Here are the screenshots. 1-3 show the graphical glitch.
Definitely with the beautiful widgets screen, it cuts off the right side. On the shot with the google search bar, the search bar itself is pushed over (it's usually centered perfectly). Same thing with the last image which has a switchpro widget.
The 4th one shows the normal screen with the google search bar. Comparing it with the first image, the icons get pushed slightly closer together and down to the right. I can't tell if they are shrunk any.
Again, this occurs not when ADW first loads, but after using certain programs. Camera is the one I can use to reproduce the bug each time.
I'm currently trying to theme the rounded lists found in apps like HTC Mail and People. From what I found, there's a transparent "mask" that makes up the top and bottom graphics -- it's basically what makes it round. The graphic is mostly transparent and only blocks out the corners to make them round. What I want to know is if the part that sits under that (meaning in actual use when the app is running) a simple white graphic file or a color setting found somewhere in some XML file.
It's weird because items towards the middle of a rounded list do have a graphic file (it's just a 1x1 white square) that makes up it's background. So I can make items in the middle of the list look good but that leaves the top and bottom (or if there's only 1-2 items on the list, the entire list) as simple white.
I really hope that theres a graphic I'm missing or else the lists are just gonna' have to stay simple and uninteresting.
I think I might know what you're talking about but I'm not sure. Can you post a screenshot to reference?
Check out THIS THREAD. The corners are square in the screenshot because he had the wrong png's in there, the 2.2 message boxes do have rounded corners. If that's what you're talking about then check rujelo's post.
Is there some way to reverse the default color scheme for ALL apps (and settings) to White Text on Black Background?
I think it would be great and much easier on the eyes if we could do that with our web browsers, and just about everything else (when we felt like it). Or is there an android web browser that can do that (like with some reader apps)?
An easy theme switcher would be nice also, so that we could switch from one theme to the other as quickly as possible. Does one exist or do we have to always do that via recovery?
Black or White background
It is of course a matter of personal liking whether you wanna have black or white background on your settings. Medically speaking white font on black background will leave you with after image and hence is fatiguing in the long run. I am an expert in this matter. So be careful before you change your theme. G. Tab is actually a breath of relaxation as it comes with light background. Please don't change it.
I also want that feature so much....to save battery, cause black colors consume less power
does anybody do have this answers? looking for the same especially for the sms default scheme or pallete.
Google Chrome icon mysteriously changed to blue. The icon has three shades of blue and in the Playstore when I look at the icon to uninstall it update it looks like the original icon.
I started Mbam scan and in the first couple of icons it was chrome and regular icon.
What gives? I posted it on Reddit and one user has a poco phone with this icon. No searches get any result for either of us.
Please advice
Cheers

Mbam shows no threats
i don't know what mbam is but i also don't care
what launcher are you using?
what themes do you have applied?
any icon sets?
when you go into settings>apps>chrome is the icon there the same or is it the original?
which icon appears above the app when you use the app switcher
is that icon in the app drawer or is it on your home screen

I know you don't care, but for anyone else reading this who does (and doesn't know), mbam is short for MalwareBytes Anti-Malware -- OP probably just showing that it most likely wasn't a "virus" changing things....
I'm fairly curious what the icon actually is (image searched it, too generic to narrow down) and why it got changed; I've had issues with shortcuts (in other situations) but usually many other shortcuts are also changed to either the same random icon or to other icons (as if from a "pack")....

It's ok to not care but simplepinoi has cared to provide reference in case you need it when you might get issues with malwares

Reddit user found the culprit: Microsoft Launcher!!
They seem to have updated the Icon pack "Microsoft Launcher" where chrome gets a more edge like look? I can't remember even changing it from "System" to "Microsoft Launcher" Icon pack...
Fixed it by going to:
Launcher settings > Home Screen > Icon appearances > Icon Pack > set that to System
I had to remove the chrome icon from the dock an add it again to get rid of the blue icon. Same for any added websites icons.
In my case it was just install launcher and forget so it probably was on MS pack. I must admit the default Google icons in the pack look better that generic Google ones but the did dirty on the chrome icon
