I am new to the tilt and dont understand most of what I have found doing searches. Im looking to change the background color and the font color as I find it nearly impossible to see the white font on green (blue) background. I have found all sorts of themes what I really need is something simple. Thanks.

Look for themegenCE and use that to modify your today screen font color. Use the search link in my sign to search for it!

Hi,
In regards to the default blue Windows theme that comes with the Kaiser...is there anyway I can have this in red, orange, and green?
(With wallpaper in background also changed)
I like the fading wallpaper rather than the one with circles...I know I've seen all this somewhere, but just can't seem to find it when I need it.
Thanks!
Hello, I am the newbie to use PPC, if I change the diamond wallpaper, the fonts of call history and calender will be difficult to read if the wallpaper is light color. Anybody know how to change the fonts color on that? Thanks!

At the moment the font colour for the TF3D cant be changed. If you really want to use your light color wallpaper you can consider installing Diamond TF3D config and use a different (theme) TF3D version which has a dark font colour easily. With this you can also roll-back to your original TF3D version as well.
You can find TF3D Config's thread as a sticky on the first page. The link to different themes page is also available inside.
Alternatively you can wait for the full version of the Manila editor to be released and hope it allows us to change font settings as well.

Thanks your help!
But the theme need 10MB-20MB rom to install, it's too much to affect the os speed. I may need to wait...
I'm not sure which forum to post this in but here goes. Does anyone know how to change the font color in TF3D? AT&T uses a white font on the home screen and a black font on the other screens and I can't read the black font very well, I need to change it to white. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
There are several cabs floating around that allow you to do change the font color...just click on the search button, type in what you are looking for, and more often than not, youll be able to get what you are looking for.
EDIT: just type in TF3D font color in the search window, and first hit leads you to a tutorial
Thanks for the reply.
I posted this in the Inc2 theming section but nobody seems to be willing to give a hand so I decided to post in the general android section in hopes of more experienced themers seeing my request for help.
I usually do all my own theming for my widgets and icons but this one is giving me trouble. Could someone possibly help me out and change the RSS text from blue to white on this widget for me and resign it? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the text and everytime I have tried signing this it still won't install, I've tried 3 different signing tools.
Thanks in advance to anyone that's willing to help, I have done all the modding I need on this widget to get it to match the theme I'm working on, just need the text color fixed real bad.
wow, 60 views and not a single person willing to give me a hand or at least point me in the right direction?

im looking at it right now... i dont have your device but an willing to change what is needed and upload for you, im not seeing any "BLUE" to change, all im seeing is white and black for test color references.
so you want the rss feed text in this apk, to be changed from blue to white?
can u supply a screenshot?
is your themes primary text color blue? it does use whatever color that is but can be changed.
Edit:
changed the only color reference that wasnt black or white, i changed it to white.
see if this changed anything...

Unfortunately it did not change the RSS feed text. The text for that won't change when theming the whole phone because the app itself has that color specified. That's why I need it changed to white.
I included 2 pictures, How it looks on the normal gray background the widget comes with and how it looks on my revised background .png
You'll see why I need white text for the glass design I made for the app. (ignore the cutoff text on the bottom, it's an issue with the widget that has been present since they released it.)
*on a side note, i am not theming any system apps or framework until the ICS build I am using hits a more stable build. This theme for right now mainly consists of my custom glass widgets and custom glass icons. Sadly this is the last one I need to make my homescreen theme complete.
Thank you very much btw for looking into this, I really appreciate it.

i took another look and all the text colors are either black or white?
it does run off an widget.xml that is your rss feeder, but have no idea how to mess with that.
sorry i couldnt be of more help
Hello, im trying to make my own theme for xperia devices (android 4.4) and i want to make it dark/black, now im kinda stuck with my theme because i dont know how to change font color of texts in message app, settings, contacts, alarm, and basically all system apps that can be affected by theme. I have changed most of backgrounds and now this bothers me so much, i have wanted to make theme as i would like to use but its not really that much usable if i dont change font color, i appreciate any help.
Im sorry if this is not right place to post question, if its against the rules report to admins so they can move it to other forum.
Please tell me which device you have and I will move it for you to the correct forum

Check all xmls in res folders and you'll see font color.
Set those lines to white HEX codes colors.
When we are talking about system fonts, or font color in settings you will have to edit few files more.
It's to big thing to say in one post but try to search a bit and you'll find tutorials.
Try to search for editing smali, font color in settings and android theming

Yes, that gives one a headache.
You need to edit the overlay XMLs for a lot of themed APKs, the color.xml.
It's a bit of a detective work and trial and error.
One thing that will make your head explode is the fact that "semc_text_color_primary" in com.sonyericsson.uxp also sets the color for search and edit text boxes. I have managed to controle the color of search boxes by making overlay XMLs for some layout-XMLs and styles for framework-res, but the edit-text boxes still folows "semc_text_color_primary".
I will go into detalis when i get the time in a new thread. I will post a theme you can use as base when time is in my favour.

Thank you for a reply.
I was busy last few days, sorry for a late reply.
I agree with you, it is really messed up to use one color for every system text, if i set white (since most background graphics are black) then i cant see anything on dialer because of white background. I have made another test theme with blue/white/gray details and its simple to use blue text in any app, but since there is a lot of people who would like to enjoy black theme (unfortunately Xperia E1 have non aosp roms) its too bad that making a useful black theme could be that hard.
Im waiting for your new thread, in meantime i will try to find a solution.
