When I use Earth or Silk themes, colors seem a bit washed out in some parts of the UI (shortcuts and time in the notification bar for instance.) Is it normal?

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?
I know nothing of how to do this. Just thought it would be really cool to have other colors for the background and tiles. Maybe make like the background red and the tiles black. Just something like that. I have no clue what you developers have in the works but that seems pretty cool to me. Keep up the good work guys and gals.
Thanks
Phone background as of the launch devices can only have 2 background colors White or black. the reason for this are just visibility. For lcd screens the white background works best, for amoled displays the black backgrounds work best as the titles seem to look like they float on top of the device not to mention better battery power consumption.
Now in regard to tiles, it all depends on the developer. Like for me i made a standard icon with a transparent background this allows the app to use the phone themes as its color background for my tiles. But as i said for tiles it all depends on what the developer wants, not to mention some companies have a color scheme and will want to use that for their tiles and icons.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info
So I made just a simple theme for ADW, when I load it though all the themed icons look great, but the unthemed icons have really weird colorings. I know I didn't touch any of the icon color settings while making it because I'm color blind (Green-red, blue-brown) and wouldn't of been able to judge the colors correctly, so is there anything I may of overlooked?
I noticed this gray gradient on the homescreen and recents with a black wallpaper and it's just really awkward to look at once you notice it. It becomes REALLY apparent if I increased to brightness. Is this just something tied with the System UI? Changing the launcher doesn't do anything and opening up a black wallpaper doesn't show these gradients. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.
Happened to me as well and figured it is because I have Cf. Lumen installed.
I have the same issue. This is my third S6 Edge with same problem. Tried multiple fixes with no luck. Can't use any dark wallpapers, anyone know how to fix?
Is there a way how to change AOD notification icons? These used are almost invisible, tiny and ugly. Older S9 had black/white flat outline icons that were much better. Thanks!
