[Q] change browser color/apk

Hello,
I am on cyanogen 6 stable and rooted. I have been playing with looks to get my phone the way I want. I love that I can change the notification bar color with this rom. However,.i want to be able to change the color of the browser as well. Is there anyway to change the browser color?
Would I be able to just get the browser apk from a rom that I like the look of and push it to my phone? Would I be able to use a browser apk from a htc desire?
Thanks for the help

still looking for a solution to this issue, ideally I would just like a black framed browser.

[Q] Change Browser Colors (CM6)

Hello,
I have been really messing with the home screen layout of my nexus one recently and after 7-8 months now of using the stock off-white notification bar, I have decided to give a black notification bar a try. Everything fits nicely with my new look except for the browser. I use the stock browser which come with CM6.1.
Ideally, I would like to have the browser pane appear as black(same color as notification bar) but I have no clue how to change this. I know that the HTC Desire Browser that comes with senseui is black, is it as simple as pushing that APK onto my phone? Are there any ways to change only the browser pane color? once again, I have seen black or other color browsers in theme packs but I do not want to install the whole theme, only looking to change the browser.

you could find a theme that has the black browser pane, download it and extract the browser.apk and push that to your phone.

You need to pull the APK, extract it, change the relevant PNGs in the res/hdpi directory, pack and sign the APK and push it back.
It's the same for any app that has PNG graphic resources.
Read any theming guide.

The file that you need to change is:
search_plate_browser.9.png
The only catch - it still doesn't theme the search bar that pops when you want to enter a new address, it only themes the address bar.

An Android phone cannot access this file,so download Opera for Windows and follow the instructions to get the contrastwb .css file(go to opera folder /styles,find contrastwb.css) ,paste it to your phones storage
follow the instructions to use this as your white over black colors (.css file)
(open android opera mobile,type in address bar opera:config,type in Local css,click change,locate the contrastwb file in the file explorer,save changes
id guess it could be edited,to get efficient text colors day/night time
id guess a lot it makes a big difference,you also need barely any light to read in the dark,because of the bright coloured text,screen filter is a great app,especially winter months

AOKP themes

Are there any AOKP themes specifically for the captivate?

Search the market or xda for "cm9 themes" All compatible with aokp's theme chooser.

ButterCream and Dark - two themes I know.
Feel free to theme on your own and save your art - we haven't many artists here.

I like the color picker in AOKP, but I was surprised that you pick and choose each color separately for time, signal, etc. There is the hard-coded button to recall the ICS holo blue. I would love to see another button that stores a user selected color instead of copying and pasting the hex codes, although that works. And then the wireless signal is a graphic image that you cant change without flashing a .zip to modify system png and the like. I wondered if it could be coded to use a triangle with a fill color based on something from the color picker, and then lay over top of that grey or black bars for the part that should be 'off'. maybe layers arent possible? tho it appears that they are being used, and i have seen overlap of the data signal on top of the wireless bars. right? I know there is a LOT of stuff these amazing developers are working on which keeps them very busy already. These are just some ideas
I noticed looking through some of the code in AOKP gerrit for the theme chooser updates, that they started using variables instead of a hard coded ICS holo blue color. but it seems as if there is no user interaction for that color, its still a hard coded value set in a single location instead of being hard coded in multiple locations. So it is a huge improvement Im sure for themers who have to try to search out and modify every instance of those values. I would just like to see it progress to something where the end user can modify that variable from Rom Control.
It would be even more awesome if Android used a system wide style sheet setup. background, checkbox style, text color, font, font size, perhaps it could even include specs for headers, paragraphs, tables, titles, etc. but that would be WAY more than I am thinking. It certainly works nicely for web design tho.
This would then be something that other apps could also read and implement into their design as well. Then we wouldn't have to create hacked SMS and google play, and tapatalk, etc, etc, etc. to make them inverted or red, green, orange, blue, yellow, etc.
Of course having an option to over-ride those settings is cool too, maybe you want an all orange theme, but you want white on your keyboard keys. a keyboard app could have a selector built into its settings which allows you to follow the system setting or pick your own base color, or go with the developers default choice. There are a lot of great developers out there who make gorgeous apps that deserve to keep their defaults, ie. 1weather. So I am sure apps would ship with their own defaults turned on, so the user is guaranteed the experience they intended.
I do think these ideas seem inline with what google is trying to accomplish with their unified design standards.
I am imagining a day where I can change my wallpaper and then open settings, use a color picker (maybe even one that can pick a color from the wallpaper ... Then maybe choose black or white, or gradient or transparent background. Two steps, and just that simply and quickly my whole system is color themed to compliment. Then using Tasker this could even be automated for work, home, weekends, etc. LOL.
Ok iphone, take that!

Desktop Chrome's "hacker vision" extension equivalent

One of my favorite desktop chrome extensions is Hacker Vision. It basically inverts colors. This is helpful since most websites are white background with bkack text, the inverted result is much easier on the eyes and in the case of this amoled display might have some tiny battery improvements.
I know lollipop has an inversion experimental option but its system wide and not as smart as hackervision because it inverts everything even images and videos.
Any ideas?

I haven't found anything like this in chrome for android but if you like Dolphin Browser is the night mode, and it probably works in the same way as Hacker Vision.
