When Theme is changed from Default on Galaxy S8/8+, the ability to set various attributes, like folder background color, is disabled. Unsure if deficence in the configuration of Theme or a system quirk. So to keep configurability, I've keep default and change wallpaper & icons. But I also want to change Dialer, Contacts, and other views to be more lively than drab default view. Is it possible without going through learning how to develop an entire Theme?
Say like using ADB to prod/poke certain variable settings?

Use a program to alter the theme. I forget the name of it, just Google it. Open the theme with the app and make the adjustment.
you can use ui tweaker: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
fantastic freeware app that works well. i'm using wm6.1 and it's flawless. there are 4 tabs to choose from for changing the colors. for your needs, i would think that the tab "system colors" or something like that will change the color of the bar you want. just remember that except for the today colors, you would have to peform a soft reset to enable the changes. also, you would need to practice a little to find out that the bar you're tweaking / changing colors is indeed the one you want. i often made mistakes in changing the notification bars and ended up changing the color of other areas.
cheers
A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.
Hello guys!
atm i'm learning how to create CM themes for theme chooser. so i downloaded an cm10.2 theme template to start with, decompiled it and looked at the xml's and so on...
now my Problem: is there any guide, tutorial or documentation which Parameter stands forr which and how to Change and find which files contains spezific Parameter for example, Status bar Background Color etc..
and how to Change all Backgrounds in White, so i can have an almost complete White design? (in Settings, dialer, contact, sms, and so on, want to have a White Background)..
i've tried to Change a lot of "Background" Parameters into "#ffffffff", but no Change at all :/
1) I has a large party of phones and need to change some launcher setting for them. (number of desktops, icons in bottom bar etc.) All this actions I can performe by hands, but it will take too much time. Do you know any other way to move settings from one phone to the same another? Maybe exist some file, which include all launcher settings
2) How can I make this new changes as default settings?
Hi
I have an S8 and have installed the black graffiti theme from the samsung store, in order to set the system menus to a look I am happy with. This is a black/white/grey colour scheme.
It works well enough, but the colours on the sliders in the system settings are bright (white) when set to "off" and grey when set to "on". I would like to have them coloured the other way.
What is the best way to modify this? I don't really want to trawl through all the themes on line.
