[Q] What has caused my icons to change colour? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please explain why a lot of my icons have turned from radioactive green to a more mustard sort of colour? Icons in question include the ones in the notification "power bar", all check-boxes throughout the system and all the status icons in gtalk to name a few.
SGS2 is completely stock, haven't modded anything at all yet.
See the attached pic. All the icons used to be bright green like the GPS one but after turning them off and then back on again they are now the colour of the sound and auto-rotate icons. If I were to press GPS to turn it off and then turn it back on again it would be the same colour as the other two.
Probably a simple answer but I haven't encountered this in all my years of using Android.

Well the murky green colour spread to my battery status icon as well so I decided to reboot and now all my greens are back to the correct shade. Very weird.

[Q] Icons changed?

I downloaded the Honey Sweet 2.4 and my Market app went from the black app to green and it now seems that my text message notification also went back to yellow from black. Any idea why these things happen?
Actually its only the MMS icon. I am assuming that the MMS notification was not changed to black. None the less I don't know why the black market icon turned green.
I have noticed this as well especially when flashing a theme. What I think is going on is the default market setting (from the market when connecting) overrides the custom color. That's what I assumed, not such a big deal to me anyway
Hmm. Damn I really liked the black icon.

PLS help Theme Ongoing Notification bar

Ahh pls help. Im pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. I got it at one point but I'm lost among the hyperdrive tweaks, gravitybox, and wanam settings.
Anyway. How do I change the Ongoing Notification Text bar. Or remove that bar altogether. If not remove it, change the text to black so i dont see "notifications". Im on hyperdrive rls 20. Right now it's stuck at that turquoise green color and says "notifications" I'd like to remove that bar to get screen space back if possible.
Also on the nova screen i have status bar as black, but when i pull down the notification bar it changes to a gray briefly.
Any help is much appreciated.

Annoying tint on statusbar

This is bugging me for a while now. Everytime I put on a lighter wallpaper, I can see an annoying tint on the statusbar. Is there a way to just make it completely transparent?

Gesture bar colour

Hey, is there a way to make the gesture bar (the one on the bottom) colour different to match notification bar? Or since I'm using dark theme to make the bar dark?
Most of the time gesture bar appears white, like the screenshot I upload right here for example
When open keyboard it's back to normal, merges colours with the rest of the screen

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just remove it ?
+1 to this. Having the gesture bar background match the notification bar colour would be great
Try "Navbar Apps", "Navbar Tools" or similar apps on Play Store.
It's coming I think. A black bar was included in OP7 Beta 5, so maybe next stable?
I actually just remove it from the screen, in settings. Got used to it, how it works, it's something!

Changing color, activation of Notifications?

On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
