Hey i was wondering im new can i change the theme without rooting the phone. Such as battery color and toolbar and menu colors and icon images? i heard of PANDAHOME? Does this program do what i listed for changes? if not what app or way will it work
I am not aware of any apps available that support more theme-ing than the launcher. All of the things that you would like to change are only possible through rooting your phone.

Guys and gals, this is my first post, having only recently rooting and theming my Orange UK Hero, I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create me a small .zip of a translucent Notification Blind that I can install on top of my other Theme?
Im new to all of this and hope to be able to edit and package my own Updates soon, but for now..............
Looking for the exact same thing. Hower not fully transparet, only like 50% opacity. Would look sweet..
cheers
I was wondering and asking for the same thing thanks for asking slimjimwoods

That looks pretty close, is there a theme that has semi transparent notifications too? I'll have a browse about and see if I can find one. If not then that'll be the next best thing
I would like a stand-alone skin for just the notificationbar. Today I use the clear as a bell theme and i would like to take it a step further with transparent natificationbar. It would look sweet... =)
Anyone sitting on a zip of what i need?
bump im afraid folks
i would do it for you guys but im not sure about something..
since all the themes iv done involve replacing "whole" apps, you would loose part of your current theme..
so unless you can remove files from an apk that arnt going to be changed, i cant help
anyone know?
to re -word... when you apply a theme, is the folder of the app replaced (in which case any files that were removed in theme, would not be on your phone anymore causing problems) or is it file to file meaning only files in side a folder that are "present" in the theme will be replaced on the phone?
i dont know enough about it to be sure, but the way i saw it, would be to replace/change the .png that currently draws down behind the notification area, just have its opacity reduced by 50%. Im probably way off on this........
what app would the notification area be? is it an individual app that can be messed with?
not really, thats why i asked what i asked... if i change just the notifications, it will change peoples themes
So, I'm sure some of you are familiar with the app dock called powerstrip. does anyone have ANY idea how to theme it? The backgrounds for the app don't seem to be in the drawables folder at all.. I've been wanting to make it semi-transparent black for a LONG time now, but I haven't been able to.
Please help!
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out if I can create a EmotionUI theme which also changes the icons of individual apps.
Is this possible?
I know some system icons are named as for example: com.android.browser.png
Would I simply have to find the name for the app icon and change it to for example: com.whatsapp.png?
I don't know how to find these values if this is the way to go.
But I would very much like my theme to be able to change ALL icons I could possibly make for the apps I have, not just the system icons.
Also is there some sort of emotionui forum this question should be posted? I couldn't find it...
EDIT: I also found out I am unable to change theme. I can change the appearance of the current theme I'm using by taking stuff from other theme's, but when I apply a other theme the theme will stay on the current one and doesn't switch. This includes the lockscreen theme and some other things I wish to still change like fonts and such.
(This might have something to do with me soft bricking my phone found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/ive-soft-bricked-phone-p7-l10-t3258350)
EDIT2: Okay it seems like this method is working. I just use an apk extractor to check which value an app has. For whatsapp this was indeed com.whatsapp.png which worked. However for com.android.vending.png which is google playstore, that one doesn't seem to work. I would like to find out why...
This way I can have all my icons in a custom theme
EDIT3: after my factory reset in my other post I couldn't change the themes anymore.
So I know that some progress has been made with Sungstratum (samsung subtratum) in regards to the centering of the clock and a few other things like that, but I haven't read much on changing the NavBar icons without being rooted.. Just curious if this can be done w/o root...? I just came from an LG V20 and there was a whole slough of NavBar icons in substratum, but when I searched this morning I didn't see any..
Thanks in advance!

I guess that would depend on what you are looking for.
If you haven't already, download substratum and give https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792 a try. It doesn't require root and it does in fact change the button icons, choices between the Pixel, Alt Pixel, AOSP and Parapaper icons. If you want to go back to stock, just uninstall the overlayers. I recommend the https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/apk-reverting-to-black-navbar-t3679747 if you prefer a dark style of the Nav bar.
If you are looking for something more custom, perhaps someone else has other ideas!

Check the note 8 overlayers thread, there is an AOSP navbar there in post 1
You can use Apkeditor to replace the aosp icons with your own from then on to create your own

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated!
I suppose I'll drop that $2 on the samsung substratum integration addon, just wasn't sure if that was needed for everything and I read many individuals who had purchased it were unable to utilize the features.. I did see Venom offered some free ones, so I'll give those a go first and proceed from there until I find what I'm after.. I just like things that are different than stock..

This is the app I used with my V20 and it had a plethora of diff NavBar options to change the three little icons down bottom..
