When i'm on the normal screen i have the color right.
When i launch a game, the colors change and are way more saturate.
Nobody have this?
There is already a similar thread with people having the same issue. Seems to be a bug. I don't know for sure.
There is a workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3331330

Hi guys ! I'using LG Optimus 7 with Mango update.
Since NoDo i have visualization problems with many apps when i apply the white background (the Light one). I explain.
When using the light background theme, many apps interfaces are almost all whites and i don't see any text or options, because they are invisible.
Look the three attached pics, the first is from Whatsapp; the second is BoxFiles for Dropbox and the third one is from MegaTile.
I used apps like Advanced Config Tool and AccentChanger (with Nodo) and i think the problem is probably caused by these apps...but i'm not sure. I know an hard reset could solve the problem but i'd prefer solve without it. From Nodo to Mango no update has solved the issue.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
The issue you describe is caused by using a custom color in addition to the light background.
This won't happen with the stock colors.
Dtboos you're the man !!!!
With stock colors all the apps work perfectly !
THX a lot, you saved me from a useless hard reset ;-)
So, no way to bypass the problem with other colours ?
Not as far as I've found. Something about the way the 10 stock colors are tied into the code. Not sure what the exact reason for the glitch is, but its only custom colors, and only with the light background.
Thanks for your reply, now i post my issue in Shapman's website forum. If i get news i keep you up to date.
Does anybody else have weird color correction features? Its like a real time color changer that switches back and forth between all bright and all dark colors. I only notice it when I'm watching videos. I have my brightness set to a specific spot and I have tried both color correction options in the display section.
I saw someone else complaining about something similar on the nvidia website. Google geoforce forums and that will get you to the shield forum there. I would post this there so maybe a moderator will see it.
I've tried nearly every art app I think there is and there are many great ones with fancy brushes and abilities to do things really close to the Photoshop Pc but only one app I've used is friendly to people like me who are colour blind and that is sketchbook pro which tells you which colours they are.
This may seem not a very big thing to people that see colours fine but to me it's a big thing.
Being able to save my own colour samples and be able to make pallets and edit the colour names for me to use would be great but not one app has this.
To me this wouldn't really be a hard thing to do but I'm not a programmer, this is one thing I was worried about when buying a tablet for art was having not the same option as Photoshop has.
Anyway just wanted to point this out.
Being new to android, I am slowly finding out how to customise the look and feel to suit me.
One thing I can't figure out is how to change the font colour in the attached photo, I'm not sure what this bit is called. But light blue is a terrible colour and I would like to change it to white or black if possible.
Can anyone tell me where this might be done? The OS is 4.2.2.
Hard
I am guessing by the huge amounts of replies, that changing the colour of this item is incredibly difficult and beyond the capabilities of most of the people on this forum.
anyone?
I must be in the wrong forum.
Well you could have saved some time and looked at it yourself. It is set in the system ui apk and defined in framework res. Depending on your device. See that's the thing it really depends on the rom and device. It is different for each. Not to mention there are plenty of tuts that would have told you the same thing.
thanks
Thanks, you couldn't point out one of these tuts could you? If I knew what the thing I want to change is called too, that would be helpful.
found it
It's called statusbar, and now I know it's name I can search for info on it.
Google returns a lot of results for 'thingy' or 'wotsit' but rarely the results you are looking for.
Conclusion
The thingy in the original post is called the status bar.
It is defined in /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Editing it requires a piece of software called apktool.
I now have white text instead of pale blue.
Thanks to zelendel for the clue.
All is now good.
As a slight aside, I found both a status_bar.xml and a gemini_status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk and my phone appears to be using the gemini one. What practical use this is I don't know. The phone is a U51GT-C4B if anyone cares, it's as big as will fit in your jacket pocket without requiring the services of a tailor and makes using rdesktop so much easier.
It doesn't make your fingers any less fat, but it makes typing easier because the letters are further apart.
I'm just kind of updated my mate 9 to pie, and I want to change the fonts. I don't like the way it's handling bold, and I'm actually not seeing colors on one of my widgets. For example first attachment of a widget shows examples of colors being used to show things are past due due tomorrow at cetera.
The next one shows the widget on this phone with no colors, even though it is set to apply colors.
I don't know if different fonts would fix the color problem, but I do not like the way it uses the font for bold as I find it a little bit hard to read.
Any suggestions?
I finally found some information, I must root the phone. I really hate that.

Did you check the answer on rooting 9.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/current-root-method-c432e7r1p8patch03-t4049661
Do you try the application Font Manager for Huawei (Pubs inside and no guaranty from me)
Sorry guys for not replying. I had my email messed up on the profile and didn't get notices.
@zgfg...certainly, at this point, I'm sure you do know we have been communicating on that thread. Thanks so much for your help.
@Mh_EJC ... interesting. Yes, but it wants to side load something in order to apply, so I've uninstalled. But I have tonight found some that will install, even w/o root. Tried that, and tried one that required root too. Given zgfg's help, I am rooted now.
But it's interesting. Maybe my issues aren't related to fonts. I have a ToDo app installed, and on my Samsung Note 9, and earlier phones, I've been able to set colors in it for current, past due, etc tasks.
But on the Mate 9, it doesn't show colors, and in fact all letters on the phone that I think are bold are hard to read. I had expected a change of fonts to cure that. But the new fonts apply, but still no color and still the 'hollow' bold. BTW...same issues throughout the phone, so it's not a problem specific to the app.
Given that applying different fonts don't fix my problem, I may be stuck with this on the Mate 9, Unless someone has some ideas.
Example of the widget with colors and more readable bolds:
Example of one from Mate 9. This one is with a new font applied. The large picture here is easy to read, but on the phone, and if you add a lot of ambient light, it is difficult for that hollow text:
