I was just curious, as I can't find a fix, how hard it is to change the notification text color of an app by editing it's theme. It's black text, on a black background, and I can't find any other fairly current release of it that's different. Thanks in advance.

I would like to have a Mms.apk with black color background.
I have tried to replace it with the one from RogerV3, but it is not compitable with CM rom.
Can anyone customize a new one for me?

tried it, but I just can't find the xml that controls this (I just planned to change the white bg to black, the light blue bg to dark gray, and the text to white), but, again, I can't find the xml, closest i found was layout/compose_message_activity, but I didn't see anything resembling hex for white bg, black text, or light blue bg
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'm running CyanogenMod and applied a couple of metamorphs.
Including black Desire notification bar and green power widget.
They all worked well but when applying the "all green" morph, highlights still stay orange.
I've found this is only with the homescreens because everywhere else the highlights, text boxes, etc. are all green.
Is there another way to apply green highlights to the homescreen?
Thanks for any help.
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.

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

is it still work in android 9 xiaomi?
Hey guys,
I just installed the deep darkness theme on my OPO and the theme over all is great how ever the notifications are almost unreadable. They text is in grey with the background being white. The 'title' of the notification is white on a white background which makes the entire theme somewhat useless. I've tried enabling the notification style from a different theme but it doesn't seem to work.
Even if I reboot my phone, the original deep darkness notifications remain.
Does anyone know how I could edit the text colour of the notifications?
Thanks guy!

In notification style use white color for text and set notification baground color to black and soft reboot or restart system ui.
If this would not worked then u have to change the theme!
