Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to change the color scheme for my messaging? The default blue/green is getting very old and boring.
Thanks

you can change the colours by installing a new theme... if you dont wanna do that you can download handcent from the market its free and very customisable

Thanks, I checked out Handcent and thought it was really cool. Unfortunately I didn't like the notification system that was in place of the "puzzle piece", haven't found an option to go back to the puzzle piece method but I will keep looking through it

Ok...I know I can go to the settings and change the icon select and icon pressed colors (whatever the real name is)...however on doing that all that changes is when I tap an icon...go figure. It doesn't change the contacts highlight color, the settings list highlight color...basically nothing is changed but the icon color. Everything else is still orange. Does that make sense?
What I want is to change all colors from orange to grey. I can't imagine this isn't possible, but for the life of me I can't find it...just to reiterate...it is NOT the setting in ADW settings as everyone suggests. That only changes the icon select color, not a list highlight color
Thanks in advance

No...those are the ones I changed...they worked, but only for the icons not for anything else (lists, etc.)

The highlights you're trying to change have nothing to do with ADW - they're built in as part of the ROM/app that you're using.
In order to change those you'd need a theme.

Or you could switch to a theme, it won't be orange then... I'm actually about to start one with another xda member.

hello everyone,sorry for my poor English
I have themed my own phone looks like a Nexus s
mostly every background is black and text is white,except
in root explorer ,when i press menu,the popup is white background and text is white too......then press more .again white background with white text
what can I do....
I hate to bring this old thread up again. But, does anyone have an answer?
It seems that the menu background for some common applications like "Root Explorer" or "Droid Analytics" does not change properly with the theme. Instead, it shows a white menu with white text.
My entire device is completely Gingerbread themed based off of the stock framework-res. But, these menus are totally messed up. White text on white menus. Should be white text on black transparent menus.
I might be way off: But have you guys tried changing the color in the .XML file/s?

I changed the colors for menus within framework-res.apk res/values/styles.xml. All other menus system-wide work fine. Every other application menu works fine.
Which XML are you thinking about?

I was thinking maybe changing color codes in Root Explorer's XML might help. But I don't know.

Oh yeah I thought about that. But, since I'm creating this theme for a ROM used by hundreds of people, I'd rather not have to theme these external applications.
Someone's got to know the answer to this problem!

Thank you for the help!
First of all Want to introduce my self to everyone and greet the XDA community.
I think all of you guys are doing a wonderful job with all of the things you are creating for android, and window's mobile users. Hello all!
My question is.. Is there any way to change the style or colors of the yellow and blue bubbles for the threaded messaging?
Is it possible to change it entirely so it could look different? For example, the HTC EVO 3D threaded Messaging or any HTC threaded Messaging?
Why don't you try out Handcent SMS?
I've tried that before and i don't really like it.
Is there anyway to change the theme of the conversations that come default with the phone?

Yup but it is long and a P.I.T.A. you have to recompile the apk, find Tue color codes for the bubbles, change the color codes, recompile the apk and push to the phone.

Start with APK manager or APK tool both will decompile the apk. As for where the color codes are in the apk I have never looked but if you PM nunhugger, xtreme, defuse, spinz, chiki or another member from the Team Phoenix themes thread I am sure one of them can tell you where the color codes are.
Thanks alot!
The bubbles are actually images. They are .9 images...so they, must be decompiled before the colors are changed. As fire changing the style all together. I am sure it can be done...would just take a lot of work.

I like the phone, but I dont like the blue color in all the menus. Is there an easy way to change this? I use launcher pro. If I pick another theme, will this change those colors? My phone is not rooted (and I would not like to root it )
Thanks in advance!

If you mean the subtitles you can for example find in Settings, Wifi, in all the explanations of each setting, the awful light blue, it's on all themes. I tried to change it but phone won't boot. Noejn is also looking at it, will be fixed.

The stock messaging app does not have an option to change the background, you can use a 3rd party app like handscent which has many customization options but thats upto you. in regards to the menu again as stock you cant, it would mean modifying the framework and things like that, you may want to check the themes section to see if anyone has created a mod. Try at your own risk

Yes the Sony dialer and messaging software are terribly designed. It almost looks like they just don't care.
I ended up using Handcent for SMS with the Samsung style skin. I also am using exDialer with a dark theme which looks great and has a better usability. There are lots of great skins for either one of these apps.
