On an unrooted phone running Nougat, does anyone know of a way to change the background color of the notification tile that appears on the lock screen? While running Marshmallow, the below weather notification had a dark gray color that contrasted well from the font. Now after updating, the color is a lighter gray, which makes it difficult for me to read the writing. Changing themes did not affect the color. In the slide-down notifications menu, the tile still has the same dark gray background but not on the lock screen. Thanks in advance.

I'm gonna scream! This is the third time I've tried typing this how to out.... Don't ask...
Anyways, I will tell you what to do to change the colors on the first one. Then after that, I will give the section, each entry and it's color, then wrap it up. I'm not going to write a book like I did before.
Let's go!
At home screen, menu/cyanogenmod settings/user interface. Render effect = no render effect. Status bar section. I didn't want battery percentage, so I unchecked it. Clock color. Move outside of color wheel to white. Tap the dot in the center of the color wheel to confirm that's the color you want. I wanted show dbm. Set that color to white.
Back key once. Date and provider. In plmn carrier string, the two check boxes should be checked. Carrier plmn label color = black. Make sure to tap the dot in the center of the color wheel when you change a color or your new choice won't stick. Settings for spn carrier string. Both check boxes checked. Carrier spn label color is black.
Back key once. Notifications colors. Notifications ticker color = white. Notifications count color is white. No notification title color is white. Clear notifications label color is black. Ongoing notifications title color is white. Latest notifications title color is white.
Scroll down some. Items title color is black. Items text color is black. Items time color is black. Check custom notifications bar check box. Bar color is black.
Now keep hitting back key until you are back to the home screen. Reboot the phone. When phone comes back up, everything "should" be correct color now. Let me know if it worked. It took me some trial and error, and a lot of reboots, before I think all the colors look as they should for the notification bar.
I don't know how to change the slide down notifications drawer to white on black. If I did, that would be like the icing on the cake... Sorry.

I the background the hard way...replaced the "statusbar_background.9.png" in framework-res with my own. and as far as the background of the notifications LIST, I believe youll have to change the "status_bar_background.png" within the framework-res as well... At least thats what I did.
Which facet of the theme compiler controls the system's font color, particularly in the notifications panel? Every time I apply a different status bar, the font stays the same color. The text stays a dark gray so I can't use black status bar/notification panels. And that blows.

Does anyone have any advice or ideas on changing notification icons? I need to make all these white notification icons a darker color so they can be viewed on a lighter background.
There is a setting in recent versions to change notification color to light or dark. If I choose dark, the text and controls should be white. This is not happening. Text and controls are black on dark background making it hard to see.
Still hard to see controls and text on dark notification...
I actually love the 12.2.4 update (I knew what I was getting into and was fine using the poco launcher). But I have this issue where the status bar is black sometimes and the gesture indicator has this annoying white bar behind it that really looks ugly... (see screenshot) Do I have to uninstall other launchers? Or should I reset poco launcher?
[E] After uninstalling nova launcher it was gone, but now it's back
The status bar is black since miui 12, if you have a bright background. I don't know who is the brilliant developer, that thought this is a good idea.
Try changing the background, or try the settings under "more dark mode options" - "adjust wallpaper to dark mode" with ON and OFF.
I have a blue background, which also turns the status bar black, if I turn the mentioned setting off.

Thx for the suggestion! But I don't use dark mode at all. It also turns dark when I'm on light mode and I get that ugly bar behind the gesture indicator at the bottom.
I think it has something to do with display size setting in accessibility (or DPI). When I use display size S or XS, I don't have the issue only with L or when I set DPI lower than 392 (which is stock).. But why!?
[e] upon further testing I found out that it's a combination of setting DPI below 392 and the wallpaper... Maybe it's because of the colors in the wallpaper or the size or I don't know but certain (scrolling) wallpapers in combination with low DPI produce this bug with gesture indicator and status bar color pretty sure it has to do with bright/dark color but not sure. Weird stuff, but it seems like I fixed it.
