My One Plus 9's screen's whites (e.g., on a white background web page) seem to be actually a bit off-white, like a very, very light gray. I took screenshots to make sure that #FFFFFF was being displayed.
I've tried playing with all the stock display settings but couldn't fix it. (I can make the very, very light gray look colder with the stock settings, but I can't make it be just white.)
I can fix it by pushing the white point to something around +0.10 with my ColorChanger app's custom mode option (root required), so I know the hardware can handle a whiter/brighter white, but I would like to be able to just set it with the system settings rather than having to make ColorChanger start on boot.
What display settings do you use in the advanced section under screen calibration?
Loose the color changer app. It can't begin to dial in the display. You can't do this by eye.
This smartphone should have excellent color rendering and white point. It's one of the best.
Make sure it's not a setting issue. Turn off Developer options for now and recheck all display and accessibility settings.
Either it's a software, firmware or hardware issue. If not running on it's stock rom start there. If already running stock, factory reset and be careful what apps you install.
-Or- find the app that caused it (preferred).
Book reading apps can alter white point settings permanently by altering hidden user settings. Uninstalling them sometimes doesn't undo the changes made by a poorly written app. Google Reader (I think it was that one) did this to me on my Note 10+. Had to reinstall it, change the setting in it, then uninstall the junk app once and for all... or factory reset
You get the idea.
Hmm. I thought I had tried all the advanced settings, but now I see that I can pretty much the same nice very bright white (and more neutral grays) by using the wide gamut settings as with my Color Changer. Don't know why I missed that. Should save a bit of battery life.

I've been working on a theme, but now I'm stuck with a problem that may or may not be related. Changing home screens certainly doesn't fix it. I was also experimenting with VJbasehue but changing back didn't help there either.
My problem is this: in the Start Menu the menu that you bring up with the soft keys now has white text on a white background. How do I set the text back to black?
Kermit
hard reset
Oh yeah, that's REAL funny.
Actually, just as mysteriously as it happened, it stopped happening. I have no idea why. (cue spooky music)

Maybe this methode works ? -->
Synchronize your tornado via Active sync and goto application data/home find the xml of your theme and change the value of colors police the restart your phone;
Sorry for my bad english
Use this program to change the system colors of your choice. You can install the file to your SD card if you want. To make the menu text black, tap sys. colors, scroll down to menu text, tap white customize box, slide all 3 color guides to far left to show "0"..Soft reset.
Here's a screenshot of what to do to make the menu text black or any color pattern of your choosing.

I found the cab file for instant installation of the program. You don't need the zip file now.
Yea....but how to tweak a Phone with an PPC app...
Yah, that's kind of hard to use a PPC app on a Smartphone. Although the concept is cool. I think PPC/Smartphones need a 'Display Properties' app like Windows itself has. Plus a way to automagically change icon sets. Plus lots of other neet goodies.

...and the colors are FUBARed again. BTW, this time around I'm not altering color settings in the home screen file, but I am working on new icons. I didn't change the background screen, so why these colors are changing is a mystery.
KW
Ooops, sorry. I thought I was at the Wizard forum
Quite all right - I finally just set all the colors in the SCHEME in the home screen and that stabilized things.
I'm still wishing I could figure out for once and for all how to change the color of the text on the start menu.

The only working as I expect is this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa - but it's rather annoying, asks form ma gps location, it's bloated with ads and also changes are lost after reboot (I need to enable it again). And most annoying - it blocks possibility to install applications from apk file.
So do you know any mod/app etc to adjust white balance (RGB)? It should start with system, it should be invisible.
Yes, you could try this...
This allows you to set the White Balance, Tint and Brightness of your screen...

I mean default theme...
So I am having a bit of a problem. I've been messing around with themes, including some I've made myself. I've noticed that if a theme doesn't change something, switching to that theme leaves you with what your previous theme set that setting to. This can lead to some ugly combinations. Unfortunately, this includes the built in themes in the phone, and I've messed up some things and am trying to start fresh. Is there any way to do so, other than reseting my phone completely? The biggest issue is that I end up with an ugly black bar in certain places (I tried unsuccessfully to make the background of the entire settings app black). Aside from this, it also appears in the contacts app, which covers the save/discard changes buttons. When I first open settings, the correct headers actually flashes briefly, but then I get this:http://i.imgur.com/4V4Gm1p.png
you should try to launch default launcher which is generally done by pressing Home button...
All of a sudden my phone decided to enable the dark theme yesterday and I can't get it to go back to the light theme. I did not change my wallpaper - still on the default actually.
I've tried forcing it to go light under Settings > Display > Theme > Light but to no avail.
Anyone else running into this? How do I resolve without being forced into resetting the entire phone?

Try changing wall papers and reboot a few times.
Just tried that, but no luck.
The strange thing is that it's only the quick settings panel and volume/power panel. Folders are showing up correctly.

I also have the same issue. I had mine set to auto and it randomly switched over to dark.
I've been on dark theme since I got my Pixel 3 but this morning I switched it to automatic and my app drawer, and Google discover feed turned white based on my wallpaper but the volume UI as well as quick tiles stayed black. I switched for forced white, rebooted several times and it's still not completely white as it's supposed to be. Hope someone comes up with a solution.

I really don't know if this will help, but, have you tried removing or adding some of the QS icons and then rebooting. What the heck, worth a try I reckon.

That was a good suggestion, I also thought of that and unfortunately it didn't work. When you pull down QS and click the edit button there is even a reset option in the top right which I tried as well. Changed wallpapers several times, rebooted the phone both regularly as well as into safe mode. Still stays in dark theme. It has to be something server side Google accidentally did similar to recently when they accidentally switched all Pixel phones to battery saver mode over night. Who knows, hoping it gets fixed soon.

Bummer man. Hopefully the googleites will get it resolved for you all. If your bootloader unlocked, have you tried fastbooting the factory image. Or, factory resetting?
I'm glad I'm not alone. I ended up resetting the phone. Hopefully a fix is in the works cause I ain't resetting again.

Just had this issue this morning.
I figured it out that, if you go into Android Messages app, and disable Dark theme in that app, then the System UI changes back to the Light theme, (if that is what is selected, or should be using based on wallpaper)
I have already reported this to Google, and they had an engineer work with me to get a Bug Report sent to them.
OMG you're right. I just tried it. Looks like the Messenger update pushed last night to my phone doesn't address the issue yet.
Have a solution to this issue (one that will allow me to keep Messages app in dark theme). The problem is Settings > System > Developer Settings > Night Mode is stepping on Settings > Display > Advanced > Device Theme. The Night Mode setting in developer settings I had it set to "Always" and it was keeping the notification shade from turning white with the rest of the launcher stuff. I turned that to "Always off" and now in the display settings if I set the device theme to light, the notification shade turns white, if I set it to dark, the notification shade turns dark as it should.
Another workaround:
Instead of turning off dark theme in Messages, just toggling the Battery saver on off will do the trick
Had the same issue - this fixed it!
Stuck on Light Theme , Dark don't work
in Advance Display Setting, Dark Mode don't work ! It's Selected But, Setting Menu Still Light.
I also see this, and can change the system theme from the messages theme. Strange.
Another weird quirk is the lock screen font color is black. This seemed to have happened after updating the January security patch. Anything else have this issue?

Hey all,
I have downloaded Snapchat on my Mi 10 Ultra. I am facing an issue with the friends list that I have. Everything in the app works great. But, when I try to send a photo or a video, the next page for selecting the names of people I want to send it to is in white and the names are in white too!! When I check any name it gets changed to blue and I could see who I selected. But, before that I couldn't see anything.
Side Note: I have enabled Dark Mode. Because, I do not like a bright phone. I am keeping this all the time. But, is it the thing that is causing the issue? How will I mitigate it?
Note: I have just tried changing to Light mode instead of Dark and all the names appeared without an issue. So, how do I get Snapchat to show names in other color other than Light grey and white in Dark mode so I can see them.
The problem is, that functionality of some apps gets broken when MIUI goes into Dark mode - it's more than a system theme, it forces dark mode onto apps as well.
For this reason, there's an option under Settings -> Display -> Dark mode -> (scroll down a bit to see the Advanced section) -> Individual apps.
There, tap the search bar if the app list doesn't come up at first and look for Snapchat, or whatever you need, and toggle dark mode off for this app.
