Is there an option like Andromeda to personalize the interface with different colors, etc.?

What colors would you like to see in upcoming themes? It can be one or multiple colors. I can do most of the basics as far as themes go so trying to get some feedback as to what people would like to see in a theme color wise. I figured this thread would be good for all the people who will be doing themes for the N1 to use as a type of reference to gauge what people would like to see
If you like customizing your Android smartphone or tablet, then along with changing your wallpaper, using a custom icon pack is one of the easiest ways to give your device a fresh new look.
Here are the top new and updated icon packs right now available on google play.
Black Light
Okay, we don't know who in their rightful mind would use this one as a daily driver, but one thing is certain - this icon pack is a thoughtfully made one.
Minimal Colors
Just as you might imply from its name, Minimal Colors is a simplistic but quite attractive icon pack that employs neat color palette. All of the icons are circular, which is quite trendy these days.
Mation
With Mation, you get over 1,000 icons at your disposal. All of these are excellent ones, subjectively speaking. There's also a host of cloud-based wallpapers, dynamic calendar icons, and an icon request tool.
Mambo
Over 800 faded icons will be at your disposal if you cave in and shell out one dollar for Mambo. It supports 26 launchers as well as live wallpaper app extraordinaire Muzei. A great find!
Graby
There are some 1,850 icons in Graby. All of these are round-shaped and will fit any home screen that's emphasizing on this design philosophy.

I find the new quick tiles (light blue on white background) to be difficult to see. Is there a way to be able to change the color and/or contrast of these icons. I do not want to root the phone. Have looked at xposed, at a few apps from the store. Also a number of different launchers such as Nova, Apex, etc but could not find this functionality in them.
Thx

This is not a launcher feature. There are two ways I know of. The simplest is to get a theme in the Samsung Theme Store (found under system settings) with the colours you want, then just overwrite the background wallpaper and icon pack in your launcher if you don't like them.
I believe you can also use Substratum without root on samsung phones, at least for theming the user interface. Substratum Themes will give you more colour options and won't change your icon pack and background unlike Samung Themes.
Ideally find a Substratum theme labelled Samsung so you know it works, then only tick the android system parts. I have to appologise in advance because I can't post links yet. You'll have to find them in the Play Store yourself.
First, install "Substratum".
Then, you'll have to buy the "Substratum Integration for Samsung (Addon Key)" (if you find it doesn't work, you always have 2 hours to refund it from the play store page)
Lastly, find a compatible theme like "[Substratum] StatusBar Icons (+extras) for Samsung" and activate it in the Substratum app.
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?
Here is a copy paste...
The company wants to make it easy for Pixel users to find all of their possible customization options in one place. That place will be found in the Pixel Launcher where a "Styles & Wallpapers" shortcut will be located. Opening the shortcut will reveal a pair of tabs, one for wallpaper options and the other for theme options.
According to 9to5Google, the Pixel 4 will have four theming options compared to just one available for the Pixel 3. Users will be able to put together their own theme by tapping on the "Custom" button to create a font. The second step is to pick an icon design that will be used for quick settings and the status bar. There is only one design for the Pixel 3, but there will be up to three for the Pixel 4. Eight system accent colors options are expected to be available and after selecting one, the Pixel user chooses the shape of the icons for the app drawer. The last step is to name the theme. And the app will allow for customization of the lockscreen clock and other parts of the Android 10 operating system.

What I get out of this is that the themes may be tied into the launcher which is too primitive for my use. With any luck we'll still be able to hook it with a custom activity or the information is not fully correct and it will be available in settings or some other location.
Its basically the options that are already available in the system settings or developer options but all in one app. Nothing huge.

Roger, the interesting part to me is the system wide fonts; specifically which ones and how many. I'm rooted so I can and do change them myself but they often have a missing font size or some other issue. It would be nice to get at least a small variety which just plain worked without any problems.
As an aside I don't really like any of the accent color options, I was hoping we'd see some more with the release but it's not looking like it.
