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.

All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!
PocketCM
Where can I download the standalone version of PocketCM?
I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.
Thanks!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

Thanks.. I will prob finish up the graphics since you all like it.. You may want to try a soft reset... I have tested this on my Mogul only.. I can change the highlighted colors if you really want me to.. but it makes it easy to see.. What about two shades of blue??
hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

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!

Im having a problem theming pop up background colors. For example if you hot the menu button in the browser, you get new windows bookmark etc... the background I have for that is black with white text. However if I hit the more option? It brings up a new pop up menu with the same blavk background but now the text is black and I can't see it.
So my question is what file is it to change that background and where or where is the. Xml file to change that font color to white? Thanks!

Thanks, but I didn't find what I was looking for in that topic.
I'm pretty sure that's either in resources.arsc or services.jar in system/framework/framework-res.apk...I can't remember what sub folder it was maybe values/styles...you will have to decompile them using apktool or some other tool that uses smali /baksmali ... hope this points you in the right direction.

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
Hello.
Unfortunately i dont have the rights to post in the development section...
Is there any chance to change the colour from the drop-down notification bar from the ugly white to the standard black ?
Some apps have white letters or signs and are almost impossible to read on the white background.
My phone is rooted etc.

you can switch the symbols in poweramp to black
I can't believe I've never seen this option, thanks bud!
P.S. For noobies, it's under Settings -> Look and Feel -> Status Bar/Notification -> Inverse Notification Colors

It's right in the settings, first option.. Change the app to English language otherwise..
Come on... there isn't "Look and feel" in ROM settings. What ROM you use ?
Or you described only poweramp settings ?

Seriously you didn't get it without me specifically saying that it was related to Poweramp? :crying:

Stop crying but just type clear information for others next time. [emoji12] Look what you where wrote. There isn't any word about poweramp settings.
