If I want a light background, how can I make the icon text dark in Sense?
or should I use a different launcher, and in which case, which ones support this?
Thanks,

I have a HD7 and the lockscreen text is ALWAYS white even if you change the theme to dark. I wouldn't really care normally, but the text is hard/impossible to read depending on the background for a bright lockscreen background. I would just write an app to change it but there's nothing in the API to do anything with the lockscreen. So just curious if there is some other way to change this before taking other drastic measures.
as i know,there is no way to change it.maybe u can search the theme regs to find out if thereis a color code to control the text color.
I love the Holo Light with Dark Actionbar theme. I have been working to make a vrtheme for it, but being amateur in themeing its taking me considerable more time and effort to make it work having to use the hit-and-trial method for everything and its becoming kind-of frustrating. So, even though I'll continue working on my own version of it, I'd like to put the idea out there so that maybe someone with experience can make it for us if he likes the idea as well.
What I'm thinking of is an even Holo Light theme throughout the ROM :
White background & black text for most apps(Phone, Messaging and the likes) and Settings. (I guess you could call it "inverted" but with holo colors thrown in.)
Dark grey & slightly beveled status bar. (Or White status bar with dark grey icons, but would mess up most app notifications since they are in white.)
White background in expanded notifications statusbar with Dark Gray toggles and Dark Grey and Holo blue for notifications.
Minimalistic Black/Grey Icons (like the ones provided for notifications by default in the Android resources) for Phone, Messaging, etc.
For cues and inspiration on the colors and feel, the Light theme on Falcon Pro and GMail's default Light/High Contrast Theme are good to try to take ideas from.
Meanwhile I'll continue working on my own version and I'll post it here as soon as I make a decent beta version.
I'm pretty sure its not been asked for or done here. But if I didn't search properly please point me in the right direction.
I'm not sure if this have to be here. Anyway. I think it would be great if we could have dynamic background notification colour. For example a green background for WhatsApp, blue for Phone and contacts, etc. Of course, it would be according to the icon app. I'm surprised that no one do something about that.
That's all. Dynamic background notification colour.
So, on my note 8, I used a them called (red) strokes. On the S10+ my text messages are white on teal, and the received are like white text with a light grey bubble, incredible difficult to see, and the background is white.
But that them includes the red keyboard...
So, is there anyway to customize just the messaging app background and text bubbles, and or the keyboard colors independently of downloading an entire theme?
Is there a way to modify my theme without somehow magically being accepted into the Samsung Theme developer thing that they have, to gain access to samsung theme editor?
Perhaps try a different messaging app? Android Messages is a solid choice with light and dark theme options. Of the third party apps, I'd recommend Textra or Pulse which have many options such as light or dark and accent color choices.
I know I can control the icon's background color and transparency but is there a way to control the icon text in the same way? Many of the wallpapers that I like to use make the text hard to see and read. At times, a wallpaper will have a lighter color or colors at the bottom and darker colors at the top so changing the text color does not help. It would be great if the icon background was extended farther down to the text line. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
