Hey guys. Before the HTC Flyer, I use to use Aldiko and what I really loved about Aldiko was that I can change the margin size and font sizes more liberally than the HTC eReader. What I find annoying is that the eReader's margins are way too big, however I like the widget and the some of the other features, such as background page color. I was wondering if it is at all possible to decrease the margins so you can fit more text on screen.
If not, is there another eBook reader that provides a widget like HTC's?
Thanks in advance.
Looks like you can change font size, background color(white, light orange, light yellow, and night which is black with white text). I don't see a setting for margins, but the text size might be what you're looking for.
I know of those color page options and everything. I'm just looking for something that will change the margins. The font size, even when set to smallest, leaves quite a bit of margin-space and I feel I can fit more text in if I was able to modify that.
One of the benefits of the wider margins is that you can tap on links in e-books without turning pages. I run into that problem with some textbooks in other e-book readers (especially on my phone, but also on the Flyer.)
I agree, though, they are quite wide in HTC's reader. I haven't found a suitable alternative, either.

Why don't you continue to use aldiko? I know I do...
I like the widget for htc eReader. And with Aldiko, you can't change the the background color (or can you?)
I might end up having to use Aldiko, though.

You can change bg color in aldiko. No widget, though it has a shelf view.

How can I get a solid background in the gallery app? It's impossible to see black text icons for example, when the background also changes to black because it stretches out the image and uses it as a backdrop. I want to disable that effect and just have a solid gray grainy backdrop.

My guess would be a fairly simple xml edit would do the trick, but the hard part would be finding the right place and hoping it doesn't break anything.
I don't want to break anything. Maybe there is another simple gallery app in the market? Anybody know of one?

There's an app called colors, or something to that effect.....

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
I am looking for a very generous person to make me a custom wallpaper since I have no idea how to make them.
I am looking for something very simple. (I think it's simple anyway)
I want a very simple, dark, holo (blue), maybe even with the Nexus logo involved with it, background.
On the left most screen, I want, in 4.2.2 font and holo blue colour "OTHER"
Second left most screen I want, once again in the same font and colour "GOOGLE"
Middle/Home screen, same font, colour and style "SOCIAL"
Second right most screen, same font, colour and size "GAMES"
And finally, the right most screen, same font, colour and size "UTILITIES"
If anybody could do this for me it would be grat!

Why don't you download an abstract wallpaper with the colours you want and make the rest with minimalistic text?

How stupid/forgetful (please select one) of me!
Do you know any good wallpaper sites? I've tried Zedge and I can't find what I'm looking for, or at least nothing that is high enough resolution, and if possible I want something that doesn't scroll when you change screens. Or is that a setting?

Yes, this is a setting. Have you tried google images and changing resolution to 2560x1600? There are some nic abstract wallpapers. You can also try with 1920x1080.
I just go to Google images and type in 2560x1600...get tons of images
I get that the developers/designers are only doing themes for specific screen resolutions right now, but why is the core tools for creating custom Themer widgets restricted by large grid settings?
Confused as to what I mean? Please let me explain.
I can create a custom widget, which starts with the background box. But, in order to line the background box up with my home page background, I have to set the color of the background widget to a solid color and then resize it since it doesn't visualize the snap-to grid element (which it does).
So, as I said above, why is this limitation there in the first place? On my Note 2 I can't create a widget that goes to the top of my screen because it is out of bounds of my screen and when I go to add elements to the widget, they don't line up correctly unless I resize the widget background box to snap to below the top of my screen (by a good amount).
So, is it at least possible to have the default grid snap distance greatly reduced or give us an option to set it ourselves in regards to setting the widget itself?
I've encountered zero issue with moving elements within a widget box other than the inability to lock items individually once placed (that would truly help in them designing).
Sorry for any confusion, I'm not aware of the standard labels for the various design elements of a widget or the like.

Hows it going? Im Bill from MCS.
Im a still a bit confused as to what you are asking and what tools it is that you are using in Themer that are giving you the issue.
Im sure you have already made sure that padding is turned OFF in the settings, but I have to say just to be safe.
IF you are getting spaced on the sides or top or your widget, you might want to check to see if you are using odd numbers for the Grid (rows and columns). Because of the way custom build widgets from WYSIWYG editors like Zooper and Everything widget render on the screen you might be a 1px gap if you are using odd numbered Rows or Columns in your grid.
This is the first thing I would check. I have seen an issue where for some reason I get a 2 or 4px padding on the top and bottom of the widgets. It only happens to me now and again. I can usually delete the widget and re-add it to get rid of the issue.
I know that Xposed has a module that allows you to invert system colors, as well as in other areas. What I am looking for is something that basically inverts all text to show white characters against a black background... but here's the catch:
I don't want to invert the colors of images, be them PNG, TIFF, JPEG, GIF or whatever.
It seems to me that color inversion is a wise way to save battery life, especially on an AMOLED screen, so why there aren't numerous options or apps to provide such a feature is kind of beyond me at the moment.
I have a Note 3, and there is color inversion, but I don't know anyone who wants to look at inverted pictures. Computer power users are all too familiar with reverse text being much easier on the eye and more legible. If I have to root, I'm not opposed to it, but only if there's something that truly allows you to invert colors system wide without inverting photos...
Are there any options out there that I'm missing?
