Does anyone know how to change the accent colors? Seems odd that there are a myriad of themes with all possible color combinations but no option to change the accent color manually. Thoughts?
The only way I've heard of is picking a theme with a accent color you like and then disabling/changing the rest of the theme. However I have not tried this myself only read about it. So I'm not completely sure if even that is possible.
Why they don't have accent color as an option by default is beyond me.

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
Hello all,
I was wondering if there was any way to change the accent color to a different color than the tiles? For example, if I set my accent color to black, the black tiles work well. However, searching with Bing highlights the keywords with the accent color..making them unreadable with black. So is there any way to change the text color in this case and keep the text a different color? I have a fully unlocked rom so any changes can be made. Thanks.
Read through the "custom theme" threads on the dev & hacking sub-forum, and possibly download some of the files in question and take a look at the settings they use. The accent color is actually only one of many parts of a theme, so (depending on what options are actually controllable - I haven't checked) you could possibly create a theme that used dark accent colors but a not-so-dark "text accent color" or similar?
It really isn't necessary to have a full theme support in these AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs because most of the skins made for them suck major ass anyway.
All you need is one single option that will change the holo blue color across the system into another color. This includes all the status icons, the separator line as well as the dark background tint.
but instead, we have these skins that change some of these colors but not others, or they also apply a stupid tint to icons and stuff. So necessary!
See the attached image? That is ALL I need, I just opened it in Photoshop and adjusted its HUE. But instead, there are all these custom options to change the color of this, change the color of that... You can't just change the color of one element and not the others because then they won't match!
What's with the pastel colors, and only 8 choices? They have nice bright pixel 4a wallpapers, seems the accent color choices should match. Hopefully they'll add some on a11.
I used Accent Colour Creator with Magisk to use my own accent color. I also noticed there weren't very many accent colors to choose from.
Time to root!
This module works well on A10. Thanks for sharing. So much better than the default choices.
Hi
I change wallpapers, but accent colors don't change, why?
I also leaf through them, and they are all almost the same
Should they vary depending on the wallpaper?
