Strange Font Outline - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone seen this font outline before. I've been through all my settings and cannot figure out how to make the letters a solid color. Any help is appreciated.

Turn off high contrast text in settings. It is under accessibility

Yeah. You've got the high contrast text selected. Go to settings>accessibility>high contrast text and toggle it off.

Thank you

Adjusting selection color in selection square and text in Start...

I found this information about changing the background for the Start menu-program-thing; which works fine, however, i can't figure out how to change the color of the selection square and the text.
I'd like to get a gray gradient going, but won't be able to read black text.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
[edit]
to change the background for the lock screen, which is actually the Info Screen, adjust the settings in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:InformationBox
The selection square color is the color set in COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT (which is defined in current homescreen or active scheme).
COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT is fot highlighted/selected item text.
(Im not 100% sure now, I havent edited colors in homescreen for some time.)

[Q] Why is the color picker on android so useless?

I tried to change the bar color on cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1 I wanted to have a nice dark orange bar but.... it's impossible. It's impossible to choose orange to begin with because the color wheel goes from red to black to white then to yellow. This doesn't make any sense! And you can't choose the brightness of the color just the alpha.
Why the color picker has to be so useless? Can it be replaced with something more useful like RGB sliders or even better HSL sliders?
Unfortunately I'm not a programmer so I can't tell if it's doable or not.

Its crap!
One of the older trackball alert style apps had a grid that was much better, but I can't remember which it was now...

[Q] Text color changes on specific app on HTC HD7

Hi,
I have the HTC HD7 T9292.
I have an app on it that i was testing - The app has a gradient effect (black-grey) background for all its pages.
If the theme settings of the HTC HD7 are set to dark, the title color in the app is seen as light grey and so is the text - both are visible.
However, when i change the theme settings to light, the title color changes to black, but the rest text remains light grey. Now since the background of the app is a very dark color, it is difficult to make out the title text.
Is this a problem in the application or in my phone ?
How can it be fixed if the error is in the app or phone ?
Please reply soon.
Thanks in advance.

5.1 LP - change notifications panel text color?

Hey,
Im looking for an option to change one or several of the following options:
- change quick settings font color in notification panel
- change font color of app notifications
- set background color for app notifications only, not quick settings background
take a look at this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/KnWq2s1.png
I want to keep the blurred style with 100% transparency for the quick settings background. But the black text from app notifications is hard to read sometimes, so I would like to change that to white. If that's not possible, make quick settings font black as well. If that's not possible, add a white background to app notifications only.
I can't find anything how to do that. Hope somebody can help me out.
edit: SOLVED
wow, after searching for hours with no result, I found something shortly after I made this thread. I used this to achieve this
so you used this to change the background of the notifications from white to match your selected notification background? I have been trying to figure out how to make the notification background not white...

Well, yeah, I changed the notification background color with LPThemer, but that's not what this post was about and I did it because of another reason. I was just looking for something that allows me to change text color of notifications, because the default black looks ****ty with transparency. It's default black because the default background is white. I used Blurred System UI to make the background transparent as well as add the blurred effect. Then I used LPThemer to change notification text color to white. Then I noticed notifications background was still white (not transparent) in Lock Screen, but the text color remained white. It's hard to read white on white so I used LPThemer to change the background to a half-transparent black. This background is only displayed in lock screen though.

Sweet I think I'm going to do almost the exact thing you did because I can't stand the white background on notifications blinding me at night... Plus it just looks bad. Good to know I can change the font to color to something legible. Good job
Help me

Question Strange Background Color on Gmail widget?

Hi maybe someone can help me.
I'm using the phone on OxygenOS13. Theme is standard due to the fact that the theme store isn't working probably.
My problem is, after adding the gmail widget on my home screen it gets a light red background. My Gmail settings are dark mode and if I open Gmail it is darkgrey. But at my homescreen the widgets background color is an ugly light red and I have to clue how this can be changed or what causes this?
Does someone also have the same problem?
Greetings!

The widget seems to follow system colors maybe wallpaper based or the default ones that depends on what was your selection
Thank you for your reply. I tried changing the accent color. But this doesn't help. The background is the standard one. But I'll try changing it. Ist there a setting to toogle if it depends on the background or not?
I am having the same issue. When I change my background to solid black, it always adds a green tint to some apps and the keyboard. I have tried about every setting to stop it in the wallpaper and home screen options, but it won't. Not sure what to do.
**EDIT... I found the answer by some stroke of luck. It would seem it's a google thing. My accent color looks exactly like the full screen pic included in the post below. There is no way to turn it off. **
