Stock Email Client - Change colours?

Hi guys,
I'd like to change the colour of the email read/unread and the black background on the Stock Email Client as its not really easily distinguishable between read and unread emails
Is this possible?
I am also interested in it. Also would liek to change the black background in the calendar.

[Q] How can I change the default background color (not the wallpaper)?

There are some apps that when they do not completely fill the screen, there is a default image on the Droid that fills the space.
In the two examples below (Chomp SMS and K9-Mail), the light grey area at the bottom is actually a fine pattern and not a continuous tone, leading me to believe that it in a stock image file.
Does anyone know how to change this image, or replace it with a solid color? Are there any themes that address this? I'd like to get it to be all black to blend with the color schemes I've chosen in the programs.
Thanks,
Chris
I'm with you, I'd like contact list etc to be white on black instead of black on white/gray

Inverted (Black Background) Stock HTC MMS, Contacts, and Dialer

I am looking for an Inverted (Black Background) Stock HTC MMS, Contacts, and Dialer. I would like the apps to stay stock except for the backgrounds to be black and the text being white. I am currently on the WildShooter Rom. The MMS has the extra features of the of the secure box. Please one of the amazing devs / themers make this for me. I searched the forum for a mod like this but didnt find one for sense 3.0. The closest thing I found was the Go Contacts ex. There was a couple things I didn't like about the GO Contacts Ex, I purfer the stock apps. Thank you in advance.

Hope it helps,

Thank you for your quick response. I did see that one and it is close. I tried it out and thats what I am using now but It's not stock. I also seen the thread black background MMS. What I am looking for is the stock app look and feel with black backgrounds and white text.
For the MMS I like the black background with white text and white divider lines. i would keep the message bubbles stock I would also want the extra features and secure box option. I would like the Contacts and the dialer to look the same. The keypad on the dialer I would like black buttons with white numbers and letters. I dont like the transparent backgrounds or very much color.

It works fine, just don't use a skin. It changes the background to white with white text if you do that.

[Q] Black Gmail widget

Hi,
Can anyone help me find a black Gmail widget ?
I have looked everywhere and cant seem find it but I know it exists.
The ones I did find are from 2010 to 2012 and outdated.
If there really is no app out there compatible with 4.3 roms then there must be a way to make the stock Gmail app widget black.
I am really so sick of the white Gmail widget. The theme on my phone is transparent black so one page that is white kills the beauty of my phone.
Please someone help me out. I am really desperate to get or make my Gmail widget black.
I'd give my right arm to be able to make Gmail and Hangouts widget inverted.
One option I've found, if you don't mind switching launchers, is Go Launcher Ex. They have their own message and email widget. Once you download the launcher, the widget, and the dark/transparent widget theme then your good to go. I'll download it and post screen shots after I get home.
There should be done way to dive into the code and change that stuff ourself. Unfortunately this is beyond my current comprehension of coding.
Oh. Another thing that helps is am app called 'screen filter'. It turns the white pixels gray to a percentage of your choosing. This doesn't fit into your theme, but it does help protect your eyes from the stark contrast of white widget on black background at night time.
Be easy not too easy,
Ky
