[Q] Dark messaging app - HTC Aria Themes and Apps

Hello,
I'm looking for a messaging app that is very dark, white test on black background, with the important part being a dark colored keyboard. While handcent can be used to make the dark background, it can't do anything about the keyboard, still using the very bright white/grey default.
The reason for this is wanting to send texts in low light settings without extreme eyestrain or distracting others (i.e. a quick message while in a movie)
Anyone know of anything?

Like you said handcent can be made to have a dark look, as far as keyboard you will have to look in the market for a keyboard of your liking. Better yet search for the HTC_IME thread and you'll find that there is an online kitchen to create custom keyboard skins.

This might be more than what you want to do, but if you were flash the cyanogenmod6 the default keyboard is a combination of black and dark gray with white text. Its very nice looking

MessagEase keyboard is black and grey.

Switch to the gingerbread keyboard

Download GoSMS, use the dark theme with the notification bubbles, and download the Gingerbread keyboard for Smart Keyboard Pro.

Changing default calendar widget skin?

With all the great dark themes out there the default calendar widget sticks out like a sore thumb. Is it even possible to change this or is it off limits for some reason? It would be great to make it blend in with the dark hero theme by switching it to a black background with white text.

Making Themed ver of Eclair/hero/BLur/Pulse *taking req*

So im working on a themed eclair and the others but want to know what colors people would like to see.
I always preferred grey + light blue with unified icons matching the overall design.

White and Black versions would work. Common issue with black themes is that search, music and power widgets stay white or from Community Hero theme. I prefer XRom black widgets. Also in Black theme the drawer tab should be black too or transparent. One color for highlights is also needed. Whether it is going to be blue or green or stock orange don't matter as long as it is consistent through out the theme.
Black w/ either blue, green, yellow, or stock orange highlights. Also add in Eclair transitions w/ blur menu bounces
Hero-like theme with Advanced Launcher, Ted's launcher bar, black notification bar with Hero icons and for the regular icons, Eclair. Blur animations. Black themed widgets. Compatible with Cyanogen. Basically like pdudek's Orange Hero theme but with green highlights instead of orange. Ted did one a while back like this but stopped that theme and hasn't updated to even the latest Cyan releases for over a month.
Multiple versions with different color highlights in each version would be a plus, such as red. Pcmaniacs has something similar with his theme, but he changed the notification bar icons to 3D ones and has started changing some of the text to the highlight colors as well, yuck.
I'd go to a Hero ROM but I've got to have Bluetooth, or else my Bluetooth headset won't do me much good...
Black with blue highlights dark and slick custom drawtables, widgets the only way to go lol
How about a yellow eclair theme?
I'm working on one, but it's so time consuming.
What ever you do DONT match the icons with the theme! I hate that. I get these nice theme like icons that look nothing like all the other icons out there for apps.
theme the bar
i been searching the forums for weeks looking for a themed hero rom where the bar is transparent or completely invisible. can you do something like that?

[Q] Themed messaging icons?

Would anyone happen to have a collection of themed messaging icons (stock, handcent, any others)? I cant seem to find any for handcent, especially. I am looking for basic colors such as red, black, blue, orange, etc.
Thanks!

[q] question about a theme

was just wondering if anyone knew how to make a black theme usable on my HD7? i know how to add custom themes but when i make it black i cant read certain things like the time stamp on my text messages and other things. is there an app or registry tweak i can do to change the color of whatever text is black to white so i can make my black theme usable? thanks for your time.

Pandora Black Themed

I was just curious, as I can't find a fix, how hard it is to change the notification text color of an app by editing it's theme. It's black text, on a black background, and I can't find any other fairly current release of it that's different. Thanks in advance.
