Hi everyone,
I have a low vision eyes. That I can't see black text on white background. I've implemented dark theme in my Nexus 5, but there's something I need but I can't do anything to get it.
I've installed dark theme too in Chrome for Android, but it's just applied in the app appearence itself. When I open a webpage, it still displayed black text over white background. So that I have to use "invert colors". It's useful but it doesn't comfortable for my eyes.
Can anyone tell me how to make every website becomes dark background and light texts in Chrome?
Thanks...

I am very interested in this as well, as I need to work on a black background with grey/amber text. Have you found any solution?

I haven't found any solution for chrome, but alternatively I can use Firefox and install add-on named "black background and light text"
It works well but actually I prefer chrome if it has this feature.

Dolphin browser has an option called night that does it.

Does anyone know a way to get a system-wide pure black "theme"? So surfing google, text would be white and background would be pure black instead of white. Inverting is halfway but really annoying at the homescreen.

I just stumbled across this thread, and I'm confused because I searched for the black marble theme, and it shows up in the app store, but says it's only for sony xperia phones and this is a samsung S6 thread.
Can you clarify please?
Hi there, I'm looking for a dark theme/app/patch/module for the stock 4.1.2. I can activate inverted colours (monochrome) in the browser under accessibility, however with the browser I'm looking for this feature but to still show pictures with colour.
Maybe this is possible with an app, xposed module or theme for the device, which can provide a dark theme to the entire phone?
I'm running a black background already.

I can't seem to find out how to change the colors. Before I could select from a few colors (without having a theme). Now I just get grey and a dull yellow. Anyone know how to change these?
Nobody? So you're all stuck with dull grey and dull yellow chat bubbles too?
I'm talking without a theme here. Stock 7.0 update. No way to change those colors?

I just use google messenger. Can change contact colors on that one. Never knew you could on the stock messenger app.
I didn't think you ever could change the color of the bubbles. Prior to my S7, I had an S6 that I was looking to change the colors on. All that I could turn up was changing the background and that was about it.
You could definitely change the chat bubble colors on MM. I'm used to using black and blue bubbles but now I'm stuck with yellow and grey after upgrading to Nougat. I don't understand why Samsung would remove that option with an UPDATE lol.

Did some one figure it out? I can't stand the damn color of the bubbles. Grr!
this is bugging me too!! have we found a fix?
I've been trying to figure this out too. Along with the fact that keyboard is no longer simultaneously spell checking my words in two languages like it was doing before. It's frustrating. I have to toggle between language. No fun.
Just go to the theme store and grab a theme. I'm using a material design theme. Nowmmy bubbles are blue and white.

I'm right there with ya. Unfortunately Messaging is the app I'm in most. Had to make the skin change.

I just updated my OS [Verizon is always the last kid on the block to update anything] and I'm having the same issue. Before the update from Marshmallow we could choose which bubble style we wanted - now all we have is this sickly yellow and grey. Are we stuck with this?
Sent SMS
I have posted this somewhere else but it is not getting answered. Since you were talking about changing messaging apps, this seems like a good place to try again. No matter what I do, I cannot get previously sent SMS to show up in third party texting apps. I have tried 5 with the same result. Only the stock app shows the sent messages. Samsung S6 with 7.0 as of 5/9, but the problem existed on 6.0 as well. Thanks
I hate the grey and yellow mites colors too. Wtf?
the badges? yeah after the update they changed it to a hideous orange color and i haven't been able to change it back. i actually contacted samsung and they said it was deliberate. why? i have no idea. so gosh darn stupid.
Google messenger. I left using theirs on the S7.
I am a latecomer to Android 6, as KitKat has been the best for my outdated hardware, until now with the S7 (woohoo!) I've always needed to run custom ROMs because stock Android looks very boring to me. I am a big fan of everything "inverted" so that instead of black text on all white backgrounds. white text on all black backgrounds looks EXCELLET, especially on Samsung's AMOLEDs. Now with Android 6, I am quite pleased with how much I can customize the look, with function baked right in. VERY nice. (Also running Nova Launcher).
That said. I have looked through many of the themes available for Marshmallow, but one part of this OS that is driving me nuts is the ugly phone app--it's a very plain black on white. I've also tried different dialers, but those all launch the stock "phone" app when an actual call is in session, switching from a nice white on black dial-keypad (stock or third-party dialer) (btw, the "phone" app is on the play store, by Google Inc.)
So, does anybody know, first of all, what the deal is with the stock black on white phone app not following a theme's colors? is this a fault of the theme dev or Google's "phone" app?
Secondly, does anybody know if there is a fairly recent phone.apk version that has been modified to invert the colors?
Man! almost every other app I have is white on black, except this phone app!
If you are not sure what I'm talking about, try applying a dark theme and then start a call, and watch your phone app revert to the ugly black on white in-call screen.

That is a nice dialer, indeed, but the in-call phone app is NOT the same thing as a dialer. There are many dialers, but I am asking about the app that a dialer launches when a telephone call is running.

Hello
When I purchased my Pixel 2 I used to have a true black theme when using dark wallpapers.
Since upgrading to 8.1 the dark theme is smoked black (a bit translucent). (E.g. I'm now in Tapatalk writing this I pull down the quick settings and I can see this text behind it).
Is this something that really changed in 8.1 or I have a bug or something?
I can't remember if the settings app was black before...but at the moment is light. Same thing with the Google Feed cards, dark wallpaper but white cards.

Not a bug, this is something Google changed in 8.1 - solid black changed to a rather meh slightly transparent black.
You can use Substratum to change it back to a solid black if you want (though a lot of black themes seem to have irritating glitches with at least some notifications, so some trial and error may be needed).
The settings app was always white. You do need to use a 3rd party tool to change that.
I don't use Google Feed, so can't answer that last one.
Thanks. This week I've tried modifying this using the Andromeda and substratum etc. But I didn't liked it because the notifications were also changing the colour etc. But mainly because of the customisation, I'll prefer to keep things as stock as possible.
Anyway thanks for confirming this was an actual change in 8.1!
