Hello all
I am using now custom stock 4.4.4 ROM with white UI, and I want to change UI to black UI with Xperia theme.
I don't want to replace my ROM to Black ROM.
So, Is it possible with Xperia theme ?
I saw new theme on xperiablog and Google play called Blue Note and that theme can change font color:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, can someone change the font color to white and make black background ?
and If someone did it, does the theme will cause some problems on other apps? like hidden text:silly:
Sorry for my bad English.

That theme doesn't work well with white UI.
It can't change the font color to white and the background to black!

No idea then
If you have root and Xposed installer seach for "Holo themer". It allowes you to change the color of several system apps. With GEM you can force the navbar and statusbar to be black in settings instead of gray

I am asking if it is possible with xperia theme, because Blue note theme can change font color to blue.
So, why nobody try to edit any stock theme and change font color to white with black wallpaper.

I am very noob for making theme. I tried before then I stopped because I have to study , but If I got free time I will try to learn.
Here I am giving idea for themers/developers. So, they maybe can make dark theme for white UI.
Instead of making black ROM edition, they maybe can make full black xperia theme.

You, my friend, just solved my issue: I wasn't able to change the text color with my Lollipop theme. Thanks to the theme you used as an example (Blue Note), I've done it. I'll share the results here later
As to your question: everything can be done with a Xperia Theme, including dark background and white fonts. Of course, everything may not fit perfectly and lots of testing is required.
Thank you!

Awesome
Blue Note theme is fitting perfectly with apps. So, I think your theme will do the same:fingers-crossed:

Well I was half wrong... The Action Bar (title bar) text color and the items text color (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. when in Settings) change altogether, so I can't just change the title bar color to white and keep the rest of the text black...
It works OK on the Blue note theme because everything changes to blue, but not when you want some parts white and some parts black... :crying:
For your dark theme request: you would change the background to black, make the text white, but then you'd go to the dialer and find white text on top of white buttons, "ghost text" as you said.
Sorry... (I'm not an expert themer, so many things slip through my fingers)

So,what I understand that we can choose only one font for all system parts
and if we want white font, we will need to change that dialer background
Thank you. You just made a beginning :good: others maybe they can do it. "hopefully"

@niaboc79
Can one of you make it?
I think it is not very important to use white font color for dark theme,
because I think it is not possible to change dialer background.
@antonio1475 try to make dark theme with purple font color and purple accent color.
I think it will look nice and it will be first dark theme for white UI

you do can change text color in action bar and change dialer background aswell, i dont have my pc right now but if you need help let me know, you just have to override the styles take a look to styling the action bar in android development.

I know (guess) I can, but it's not my intention as I'm making a Lollipop theme. I'd love to change just the action bar text color and keep the rest of the text black, would you know anything about that?
I bumped into this thread and discovered how to change the text colors, sorry for mixing my project into this request...
@AltairFriend I can't make themes now, I can't even finish mine, but I encourage you to learn (the best themes are made by yourself, as you can make it yours and as you like), and I'll be glad to assist you

do you want to change the color only in the themed apps ? if so you have to go to styles.xml and add a new attribute
<item name="android:textColor"=#HEXVALUE</item> in the main app theme... but if you want to change the default text color in every sony app, in framework-res.apk go to res>color>semc_widget_text_color_dark and semc_widget_text_color_light and change the hex values to whatever color you want to use.
