Who else experiences a tint around the status bar wallpapers when using Nova or stock launcher. I like to use an all black wallpaper, but the colour tint ruins the all black look. I used to think my display was faulty, but I can look at the same wallpaper in my gallery, full screen, and no tint
Status bar is gray and you can't change color. You'll have to live with it. Got same problem.

On the lock screen the clock font is white, and everything else is black. Where it says AM/PM, the date, "Verizon Wireless", and "Emergency Call" are all in a black font. It doesn't match the clock and I can't read it when I'm using a dark wallpaper, which are the wallpapers I prefer. Is there a way I can change it to white? I'm using GalaxyMod RLS 16 Rom blue theme with Lean kernel. I don't want to use custom locker apps because I like my current launcher and lock screen besides the black font color.
Hey everyone. I'm using a materials wallpaper on my note 5 and I noticed the color of the wallpaper seems to be lighter on the lockscreen but when I unlocked the phone, the colors become more rich and vibrant. For example. the darker sections will be a dull grey-ish color but when I unlock the phone and I'm on the home screen, those same sections will be a rich black-ish color. Any one else have this happening to them?
Are you seeing the lockscreen color? The lockscreen itself has like a gray film over the wallpaper so it will appear as darker colors. Does it on all Samsung devices.

Not sure what you mean by "lockscreen color" I do see the color of the wallpaper on the lockscreen but it's not as rich as the wallpaper color on the home screen.

Imagine like a film covering a window, like tinted car windows, this is what the lockscreen does to newer Samsung devices. It did it on my s6 edge as well, if you have a lockscreen it's colors are just a little darker than your normal wallpaper. It's normal across new Samsung devices.

There anyway to change the lockscreen? I downloaded a theme, and although I like it everywhere else, I do not like the image on the lockscreen.
Touch and hold the home screen then select wallpaper. In the upper left corner tap home screen. A drop down should appear letting you choose home screen, lock screen or both.
When you use your own wallpapers on home and Lockscreen, the lock screen has a transparent white overlay that makes the wallpaper look really bad. Is there any way or mod to get rid of it so that the walls look rigth? Thanks for any imput.
Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.
im running mickys mm rom and dont like the (new?) folder icons.
im running a rather dark desktop theme, so the icons should be darker, smaller or transparent..
i am able to change most of the other app icon via icon packs but the icons of the app folders/collections remain ugly. it might even suffice if i could change the icons color or transparacy. so far the only way is to choose a color of a handful of pastel shades for the folder itself.
any ideas? do i loose anything like the edge screen if i choose another launcher like nova over touchwiz?
