System Colors?

hi @all
i'm using the latest energy rom from here. I was trying to change the colors of outlook and the rest of the original windows mobile stuff from white background to black background and white text with sktools.
So far, so godd but i have the problem, that now the contact list is white background/white text just the highlighted one is ok. in SMS view via outlook it works great and even some menus are good some others not working that way but i think these are sense menus which would be ok for me. For example the file manager is also as i like it. what to do to solve this problem is there a solution? or maybe an easier way to change just this white background into black and the main text into white?

you probably will not able to do, wm background color value is used for others screens, I mean: when you set a black BG ,the same value is used for something else (can't remember which element.. text or highlight).
then every black background has this side effect.
the best you can reach is this dark grey combination (from Artemis rom thread and a WP7 variation) that let you read the text in all situations

you can also play with the attached UITweaker , not every option work on wm6.5 but the most of them do, and make all your tests.
for more infos check out the windows mobile forum and look for skinning WM6.5 threads

thanks alot! i got an compromise now which is working well so far. with sktools i swapped the color values and somehow now it works great even the highlighted stuff is ok so i found nothing which is incorrect so far even the settings menu or so it's fine don't know why it wasn't working the first time i did that. i would go over to android but i need the garmin app which is not working under it.

[Q] Awful colors/theme after upgrade to 4.4.2

Hi,
I have a pretty silly question... My girlfriend uses the HTC One Mini (M4) and yesterday she has updated it to official android 4.4.2. She is yet to have a full opinion on it but the first thing we've both noticed is an awful theme. Unfortunatelly I didn't write down what the previous android version was (it was the previous official ROM available in Poland, maybe 4.3?) but it looked sleek, with dark theme and a mix of mostly black and white. Now there's awful green everywhere (I believe the color is called "pistacia").
Switching the theme to a darkest one available helped a bit but a lot of stuff is still green (like the switches available in the dropdown). Is there any way to get the old theme back or at least to change the green color into something more visually appealing?
I know this might seem like a stupid problem but it's really annoying my girlfriend. I have no idea how or why HTC has decided to switch colors into something like that :silly:
Best regards,
Maciej
EDIT: The theme used to look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now it looks something like that (sorry, I couldn't find a better image):

Are you on Sense 5.5 or 6.0, because that's how 5.5 looks.

Welcome to Sense 6
The green is not everywhere .... if you look a bit closer you will see..
telephone functions are blue (dialer, contacts, etc)
media functions are orange (fotos, player, etc)
settings are green (switches etc)
Honestly I have to say I´ve no clue how to get rid of it.... maybe there is a mod anywhere.
Only thing what works for sure is flash back to Sense 5.5.
greets

So if I understand correctly, the old look is Sense 5.5, the new and awful look is Sense 6 and there's no way to change the nasty colors other than flashing the old ROM? If so, then it just wrong...

My name is in the dock, the blue dot is battery charge, touching a dot opens app of choice, swiping a dot opens folder containing apps of choice. Live wall paper background. I keep the lettering on the dark side to avoid screen burn in or ghosting and provide a bit of privacy, making it difficult for a stranger close to me from reading my appointments etc.

Android 11 wallpaper bug/'feature'

I was holding off on updating, after getting the Android 11 notification a few days ago in the UK, as I couldn't see much user feedback on One Hyper upgraded to Android 11. But I updated it today and while it seems to be working OK (with seemingly no loss in general performance), I did immediately notice a bug/feature on wallpapers.
It doesn't matter which app you use to apply a wallpaper, the system seems to take over and crop the image. When you pull down the notifications bar it zooms back out to the original 1:1 wallpaper.

Forgive the quality of the above gif, I didn't want to overload the thread with a massive image. But you get the idea.
I did a Google search and it seems to be a common issue, at least on some Android 11 devices, I saw some archived reddit threads from 2020. It's a shame but thankfully there is a workaround (if a little clunky). Apparently live wallpapers escape this weird bug/feature, so with an app like KLWP you can turn a wallpaper (like some of the 1080x2340 formatted wallpapers I made) into a live wallpaper. Again it works but for such a simple thing, it's a shame you have to jump through hoops that weren't there in Android 10.

Eh, why do they need to do these things. I'm already really annoyed that the lockscreen overlays a color tone over the image, dampening all cool vibrant colors and contrast. When i now choose a lockscreen wallpaper i have to overdrive the colors and contrast before applying it to counter the tone.

is this a bug? I thought it was some new effect of the system, if you repair it well, when you are using the Motorola launcher and make the gesture to open the app drawer, the same thing happens.

Whether it's simply an annoying new feature or a bug, either way it would be nice if it was an option.
Again I'm able to use the KLWP app to get around it, but its a lot of extra hoops for such a simple feature (and not a particularly intuitive app to use).

Android 12 - Big white notification panel

Since October updates, severals stranges and not nice stuffs appears.
1. Notifications : big white panel

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Shortcuts are blacks and notification panel is white. With dark theme, panel become black and shortcuts still same color.
It's not beautiful and not logical so is it a bug ?
What about your phone ?

Lol i am not using pixel 4a but using pixel 5 GSI on my Nokia 6.1. that GSI ported from Pixel 5 .i had a lot pixel GSI.i had no issue like this .try resetting your device maybe it will fix it or contact Google from Pixel 4a .if not search YouTube or Google for that issue

Same here on Pixel 4a for a week.
The first Android 12 update worked great, i got the full notification bar.
But now, i'm stuck with 4 first buttons as shown by fatomic. I can't slide/pull one time more to open the full notification menu. So i can't access anymore to others buttons, notification menu edition, settings shortcut or light control.

The pixel 3 got a12, and it has the same thing.
From research I've seen, google did this because it uses less resources than an opaque type background.
I don't really like it but find it's not that hard to live with, don't really use that pulldown shade that much. And the rest of the system does seem quite a bit more responsive. Scrolling is very fast.
