I'm using HTC Home Customizer/HTC home plugin. I want just a pure black background on my today screen. I tried selecting a pure black jpg using the today screen setting "Use this picture as the background." The background ended up just being light gray. Anyone know how to do this? I think I'm just being dumb.

Here is a completely black theme for u.
EDIT: Instruction - copy the unzipped theme into your windows directory, then go to settings/personal/today and the black theme should be there as a option. Select it and click ok.
thanks!

you are welcome
on a related note, I've been trying to make a black theme with the attached pic for a b/g, but using a theme creator and making the top and bottom bars black, also causing it to be a light grey.
I would use your theme, Mikulec, but i believe you would have white writing?
I've attached my theme as well.
Any chance of helping a newbie? Thanks!
edit: Checked yours, Mikulec, and you do have white writing that won't show up on mine, plus the bottom bar is still light grey? Or did I do something wrong?

I am using program called ThemeGenCE. There u can do almost everything. The problem was that this program is making the bottom and uper bars in another caller(when u set the bars black, the color is in reality black-grey). I used another program to make the bars completely black.
I dont know how can I help you, cause I dont know how u want the theme to look like. The problem is that your pic is white and black so u cant use black or white text.
I will gladly help if u need me. U can try the ThemeGenCE.

Black.zip didn't work
I just followed your instructions to create an all black background, but it didn't work. It only made the task and soft-key bars black.
I just want a simple black background.
Please advise.
Thanks.

No offense, but yes, you're being dumb.
Goto the "pictures and videos" application. select the photo you want, Menu > Set as Today Background, and set Transparency to 0%.

What ???????
If you read the post , it was not how do I set the background, it was please give me a black background that does not wash out to grey when set.
Which Mikulec did, 6 months ago.

Re-Read the original post. He says he's trying to set the today screen's picture and it's being greyed out when he sets it in the today (under settings) screen. In order to get a non-greyed out photo on your today screen, do what I wrote above. Also, learn to read sarcasm.
Black.zip solution response please
Could someone with a solution respond to my question about the use of the black.zip download to create an solid-black background in all windows (I recently installed hergs flip clock and landscape mode)?
I followed Mikulec's instructions and installed the black file, saw it listed in the Today screen, selected it, had auto reset, but the Today background didn't go to black.
Thanks.
Yesterday after receiving the watch, the menu background was dark brown. Today after a factory reset, the background has become fully white? Is there a setting to control it? I liked the dark brown much better.

Happened only once after reset, did it twice after that, always get back brown theme now. White consumes more battery on AMOLED, and also looks odd with the dark gunmetal color of watch. Maybe there's some special setting that could be toggled via ADB?

Maybe but I still rather have the white version.
I used to have the gunmetal version of this watch and it had the brown background. Now I have the silver and even after several resets, it has the white menu background. I sort of miss the brown, but I'm wondering if it has to do with the watch color.
Guys Almost Everyone of You Know That Our Lovely OnePlus 5 Uses AMOLED Display. But Do You Know How AMOLED Display Works? Let Me Explain :
LCDs like the ones you find on the*LG G3*or*HTC One (M8)*produces light with an LED backlight. The light shines through the pixels and into your eyeballs. In this case, a black pixel is simply one in which the pixel has turned opaque—it blocks all the light streaming in from the backlight. The backlight is still on just the same.
An AMOLED doesn't have a backlight at all. Instead, each little sub-pixel is like a tiny red, blue, or green colored light. If the screen is instructed to display black, it doesn't need to block any light, it simply doesn't light up any of the little colored sub-pixels.
So, If U See A Part of Screen That Is Showing Pure Black Colour, It Means It Isn't Showing Any Colour Resulting In The Best Black You Can Experience.
So, Now How To Save Power Using This?
First of All You Can Use The Stock Theme Option Inside Display Settings To Set The Theme To Dark. It'll Save Power During Stock Apps Screen.
In Third Party Apps, Use Substratum Theme Engine With Swift Black Theme (Most Preferred For Pure Black)
Here is Full Guide: (For Rooted Users Only)
1. Download Substratum Theme Engine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum)
2. Download Swift Black Theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers)
3. Run Substratum, Go To Swift Black Tab & Choose OOS 4 From The Top List.
4. Select Third Party Apps Only (Chrome, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, Drive, etc)
WARNING : I Don't Recommend Theming System Apps Like Settings, SystemUI Because They're Already Dark Themed, But You Can Always Try On Your Own Risk, If Stuck On Bootloop, Just Flash Rescue.zip Inside Substratum Folder In Main Directory
5. Click On Install Overlays Button And Wait For It To Complete.
6. Reboot
Now Enjoy The Extra Juice Saved By AMOLED Display.

Did you know the difference between Swift black and Swift dark? Because i already own it. Is there much difference in darkness?
Grey vs Black?

I'm pretty sure Swift Dark is grey as opposed to Swift Black being true black.
Swift Black does not work properly on OnePlus 5. For example Youtube when trying to play playlist it crashes. Also some apps crash when swift black is turned on. So I just removed it.
That Sounds right. I also looked again in PlayStore.... So i think i buy also the dark one.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose because swift dark isn't actually black?
Sorry i meant the black one. The dark i already own.

Dark Is Grey/Gray & Black is True Black (The One Which Works On AMOLED).

Check your phone's setting page it will be dark
If you already have a dark theme applied, doing this will bring back some color back into the theme. Like the settings page now has colorful icons and the Enable/Unintall buttons are now blue, so it is a mishmash of dark and bright themes.
P.S.: Check screenshot for reference.

It does work. On the .72 firmware. It didn't on .58.

Did your quick settings bar change to dark mode? Mine is still white

no the quick settings tab in the notification panel is still white . I guess thats the reason the dark mode in hidden down in the developer settings
Download Theme called "Geometrical Dimension" .
Theme has Pure Dark Mode on majority of tabs like you get on Amoled Screens, Instead of Greyish tone.
Try substratum theme pitchblack. Works on stock but better on aosp custom roms. It has lots of apps and updates. Doesn't work on zen apps, use zenui theme app for those.
Works perfect for me 5Z 5th Oct update!!! Thank you very much.
Dear Everybody!
Don't you know why mars super wallpaper is just dark?
I turned off adjust wallpaper to dark mode, then i turned off dark mode. I deleted updates off wallpaper app, but it is still only dark.
When i updated to miui 12, then it was bright at day and dark at night. How can i set it again?
Thanks!!

If you just disable system dark mode, it should be back to red
Thanks!
It was not worked until i cleared data.
What about now the wallpaper dimming? I worked earlier, but now it is not working.
Does anybody know something about it?
Thanks!
