ok, i have a weird problem here. after rooting and installing some of my market apps, i have noticed that the text in the popup menus in all of my menus are white (making it hard to read them). i'm also trying to replace the keyboard, so i have installed a few file explorers. the background is black, and so is the text on that background. what has happened here and is there any way to fix that?

There have been several threads about this already. Some have tried to fix it but it has not been smooth.

thanks guys for the kind responses, even though i did do a forum search with no hits. your replies have been most helpful.
my post count may be low. my forum sense in finding answers by searching first isn't.
That's why I threw that in there instead of a snide noob remark. XDA has made Android a terrific experience for me through several devices but it's width and breadth are staggering. The method I showed is a way to bang out quick searches with a variety of key words.
dang69, I have to keep that link in my bookmarks, I could use that on some of the other forums I'm on where people continually ask the same questions w/o searching first!
For the original question, this seems to be the main post where people are trying to find a solution to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356514 (coincidentally the first url that came up with dang69's link).

I believe that this is the right place to post this request.
Whenever I select a text box or a flash item in the browser is flashes a yellow color.
I hate it and i want it to leave! It seems like the item is freezing and it is ugly.
Can it be removed somehow? I believe it can on be done the hard way!
wrong section & this is normal.

wrong section. but to answer your question, flash a theme that changes the colors in the web browsing...
Is it a theme thing? I'm sorry I thought that it was something deeper.
It's not only the browser but also the text boxes.
i have to disagree to you guys. afaik this has nothing to do with themes, it's just the yellow border which marks links and everything else in the browser. it's right in the development board. i can understand that you don't like it, i personally don't really care about it...
i'm pretty sure this can be done by any developer. but not by me, my android skills are very weak
maybe some dev picks this up...
This is definitely a theme issue. You need to edit a. 9.png, either in framework-res or the Browser.apk. Those are a huge pain to edit, but you can change the color, or make it transparent if you want to get rid of it altogether. I'm no themer, but I think if it's totally transparent you can cheat and skip the complicated part of preparing the. 9.png before you push it. Or you might be able to just delete it altogether. I'm sure if you post this over in that section you'll find an answer from somebody who knows better than me.
Hi friends,

Hi, as we all know androids notification is quite great. Apple however took this concept and in my opinion improved it. Many developer also seemd to like it and there are many apps on cydia that offers some customization.
What I'm looking for is an app or any way really that lets you customize the drop down window.
I'd like to b able to change wallpaper, change color of text, add widgets and info for fast updates.
I have spent many hours googling but I cant find anything like this. Is there any way to do this or does someone have thw ability to make souch an app?
I hope
I'm pretty sure access to the android notification can not be done through an app. Its like a core system process that probably can't be edited in real time. You would have to embed some sort of "notification drop down settings" into the OS.
But he is right Apple should not be ahead of us in any way..
Has no one left with common computer skills?
There's many topics on this here one just for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363528
Google and search button's seems to be extra these days
Good stuff I'll have to try. I don't know about everyone else about the search function, but I like to use my phone as a PC so the search does not work all that great through the android browser. Then filtering through the results.on this smaller than PC screen will give anyone a headache. Maybe the xda app is better idk..

I used my standard international SGS2 found results NP..
Cool, we're gettimg there.
However im looking for more than just a theme. Widgets and the ability to add my own background. I wamt the functionality, not just the look
I'm new with the tablet,actually just got it yesterday. I'm looking for a note taking app that I can turn on when I'm browsing Web sites or forums so that when I come across something I want to remember I can jot it down without having a pen and paper. Almost like a floating notepad. Thanks. Also I'm not rooted. Appreciate any help given.
The Samsung memo application, while limited, does exactly that. You can run anywhere by clicking on the arrow in the middle of the status bar, then choosing the memo, and it isn't full screen, it just floats there in the middle of the screen.
Thank you
Hey thank you nightmarebadger. That helps. The funny thing is that I've actually hit that button a few times and have seen the icons down there while browsing around and doing other things just never paid attention to it. Once again thanks for your help.

No problem - good to know that at least some TouchWiz features are actually useful to people .
PS: If you'll ever change to a ROM without TouchWiz (like CM9), the Memo app won't be there any more and you'll have to find a different way - just a "warning"
Aparently I cannot post this question elsewhere so I ask you all here.
I saw once a custom ROM that i liked very (very!) much. The idea behind it and the general looks of it. But i don't remember how it was called.
Maybe you could help me a little. I'll try to describe it:
-it has a clean interface like a list on the homescreen (not like classic android homescreen more like windows phone 7/8 homescreen)
-every message or email it is shown in this windowish homescreen
-every item on the homescreen has on the left side color stripes depending of what kind of item it is (email/message/notification etc)
-the central item on the homescreen menu is somehow a little highlighted
That is all i remember from the screenshot i saw. For my device (S5660), the ROM developement i remember it was interrupted or stopped but i really want to find it...maybe someone ported it...
I also remember the developers built a website especially for the ROM and it was mainly for high-end devices. I found the ROM very original and practical and i truly want to find it.
So... anyone knows the name of the ROM?
Thank you so much in advance.
I don't know but your device developement has no where ner stopped, it has android 4.0. Here is a link to all the roms for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1407
thanks but...
Thanks for the quick response but i didn't say that the entire android developement for my device has been stopped no no...you get me wrong. I said that i remember clearly that the developement on the ROM i'm searching for had been stopped for gio.. Thanks for the link anyway... I've tried to find it but nothing so far. I still hope that someone with a high end device knows what i'm looking for.

is this what you are talking bout? http://spiritdsgn.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Phone-Style-for-Android-355556107
unfortunetly it is not
It is a nice finding so thanks man...but apparently it isn't what i'm seeking. The main screen It is more like a list of notifications in real time wich have on their left side tiny colored stripes depending of their nature. But again thanks for the answer.
