Hi friends,
I regularly check the new apps & threads to upgrade my HTC HD2. Im very fond of black background in sms text & other settings with white text. Can anybody help me in how to do it by tweaks or by an application. Attaching screen shot for everyones reference.
Regards.
Mahesh

Hello,
Have u found something for me??
I once installed HD2 Mini's black theme and it has black back ground for everything, sorry i dont have the link or file now, you can search it and try.
Thanks
why dont you try cht 2.0 and widget for sms (with color text and background)
Use CHT2.0
I've got this pretty decent theme : "Revolution Cyan". But unfortunately, its impossible to make out whats there in the notification area as the both the background and the font colour is WHITE. Could someone help me out here? I wanna change either of these!
its in services.jar in /system/framework..... search for colorChangev3.jar in xda there is thread on how to do it, I had given the link on how to change in some thread which I don't remember now just Google and u fill find it.....
good luck
Found it. Thanks a lot!
Well I did it again, More Dialers and more Honeycomb. This will probably be my last dialer theme for a while. I will eventually look into recoding the layout for hi-res landscape, I'll bet ya, Dell just copied the one from 160 density, and never tested it.
Anyways here it is, I actually started on 160, but had to build on 240. All dialpad keys are visible at 240dpi in portrait mode. In high res, landscape dialpads will be cut off as usual. Best I could do for now. You'll just have to rotate to portrait I guess.
You can change the backgrounds of course by following my Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215898
the screenshots in this first post will be at 160dpi, the 240dpi will be in the 2nd post.

for future use, thanks!
update:HCPhoneThemev2 (without glow): icons updates, jog tabs now HC Style, and in call buttons now stock instead of transparent( just mute, bluetooth , and speaker).
update: Aug. 16 - HC Theme with Glow uploaded. Its slightly involved to add glow, and since I resized buttons to fit all densities, you'll noticed the pressed square effect, that's about the best I can do. Glow Color is actually much brighter, but the dark background darkens it. All icons updated in Glow and Regular version. Also added stylish highlight for tab selections.
I have tried to change the layout at hdpi to fit in the landscape dialer, I dont think this can be done via .XML, although it sure looks like it. the .xml calls out the Button Grid Layout as well as height and widths, I have tried changing them all, even ones I knew were not correct. Best I did was change the total layout allowed for buttons, but buttons size would not change. I saw in the .smali code where it calls to get height and get width, so I would think .xml controls it. Even I change the .png sizes it would still center them in the same spot in the layout I think.
Oh well, portrait is more than fine with me. I usually use my phone in portrait and try not to rotate it because Im on 220 lcd density right now.
Looks great @ 180 density.
Thanks!

Yea, I actually found that pic on Dell's website when the Streak first came out. I used it as my Facebook profile pic until all my friends got mad at me. It seems everybody hates the Dell Guy...

working on it, noticed a lot of icons still needed top be updated as well, should have some screenshots later today.
OP updated, Glow Version ann also updated many icons for both version.
this was good to help me learn how to create glow effect, I may be able to do another one with a very thin effect, like an out line, but I like the larger effect my self. It doesnt matter a whole lot to me, I was satisified with original version.
Waiting to hear your feedback.
would like to see this on a lighter background if anyone has one.

Good job Chris but the bottom three buttons don't glow or is it the background?

Im aware of this. I'm not sure If I could do those the same way. I'll see what I can do.
wow, managed to cook em up pretty quick, but they wont work because they are .9.png's they stretch and distort, so I could just try a blur but likely wont look good. I'll check it out.

The blury .9 png's can still be fantastic! Reminiscent of a lightsaber. Maybe Star Wars themed over HC could be cool
ok, I'll check it out later
I can get back, call and voicemail to glow as well as voicecall in landscape. I could make the glow effect smaller so you dont see the edge of the button and looks cut off... would probably be better, this is a really bright blue, but doesnt look as bright with dark wallpaper. I dont think I could make the glow effect on the numbers so small that it doesnt get cut off, because the numbers and letters take up so much room it would have to be a 1 or 2 pixel glow and that would still probably get cut off, unless I did similar to the bottom buttons and just use a generic gradient bubble background, but that doesnt look as nice.
Ill keep playing around with it when I have time, based on everyones feedback.
Seeing as how, CRT animation and gingerbread Overscroll looks a bit too involved for me. Quite possible for someone like DJ or Fards.
edit: idea: how about changing the bottom 3, .9.pngs to not touch the button edge, and have a transparent horizontal oval in the center, so it doesnt overshadow the icon. And.. I could try to edit the dialpad keys to "round" out the glow so again it doesnt look so boxy. I'll give it a shot when I have some time.
progess made.. sort of
heres what I got, changed quite a few things,
lets hear what you think, I will look into making the glow.png oval instead of square, maybe that will help.
and the .9 button glows area gamble, some will look nice, others too large, etc.
change jog tabs to HC style. also change in call buttons such as speaker back to stock, just those 3.
next release will likely be last for this project. probably because I use phone so little and would like to focus on other things.
So i'm pretty sure someone has already made a thread on this however I have been unable to find it. What my question is if it is possible to change the color of chrome. For example when you visit dbrand.com on your phone chrome gets themed black. when you go to the xda website it gets themed orangeish. what i wanna know is if it is possible to change the color permanently. I want to make it black for good. So if anyone has an idea on how to do this or if there is an app for it let me know. Thanks again in advance!
Hello and good morning,
you can change the color of XDA at the end of the site
Look at my attachment.
Best regards
I don't wanna change just XDA I wanna change it for every website......
attached are some pics I'm talking about the url area and such.
