I'm fairly sure it's possible but i have no idea how to do it.
Seeing as i have a galaxy s, an inverted browser would be really useful for me to save battery on my amoled screen, and i use opera mini all the time.
But i dont know how to modify the CSS (which is what i think you're meant to do) to get inverted colours (so the background is black and the text is white), but the images stay the same.
A few google searches and xda searches have got me no closer in figuring out how, so please help

Hello all...
I've looked around and can't find anything to help me out, but I know this can be done. I have Luncher Pro Plus and have a dock background that i would love to see fully. To do this, I need transparent dock images, but don't want the stock ones that came with Launcher Pro. I would love to create my own, but don't know what file type to save as or how exactly to go about this. I know it can be done as the stock Launcher Pro ones are transparent! I have Corel PaintShop available to use as well as drawing software (CAD). So I can draw practically anything I want and save it to any format I want. I just don't know the process of making a white image with a black background to have a transparent background.
To put it this way; I want essentially my dock background (which is nearly solid black) to have a drawn outline of the phone, person, boxes, message, world (see attached image)... no gradient filler like on Launcher Pro ones.
If anyone can point me to a tutorial I am missing somewhere, or simply let me know how to do this, It would be greatly appreciated!! I'm trying to customize my phone and what better way to do it than with completely custom images!!!!
you have to save it as png or gif file (I recommend png, it's higher quality). I use photoshop so I don't know how to do it on corel, this is what a quick google search turned up: http://www.axialis.com/tutorials/tutorial-misc002.html
PS: an image with the grey and white squares as a background while in corel means there's no background (transparent)

I also found... It took me a while playing with corel but I figured it out!! I love having icons that no one else has.... I would recommend everyone playing around with custom icons!

GIMP works very well to edit these images. I have photoshop CS5 for everyday use at work, but when I edit anything in the framework, I use GIMP. Its free, just google it.
I've been looking for ways to boost my battery life. After getting some Tasker profiles set up to do this, one thing I've been focusing on is the screen since the AMOLEDs don't use any energy for black areas of the display. I use LP with a solid black background, and very minimal clock on my homescreen, widgets are on a screen to the left, apps I frequently use are on a screen the right, but my homescreen is almost entirely black. I also have Bionix 1.3 which has a nice, mostly black theme, and the new JAC kernel, so it's hard to say what the respective gain in battery for each change I've made is, but my battery has only dropped 30% after been unplugged for 13 hours, and which included a fair amount of use.
I was looking around for a way to invert the browser colors, so that text within the browser would be white on a black background (low energy cost) instead of black text on a white background (high energy cost). It turns out this is a feature in CM6 (browser invert color), so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of where I'd have to look to try to do the exact same thing, while I wait patiently for CM6.1 to be released for the Vibrant. I know there was black theme for the Droid which even modded the Gmail app to be white on black, but given how much more I use the browser, I'd just be happy if I just got that.
If there's another way to go about doing this, by all means, let me know. I looked around for a theme for Dolphin HD but I couldn't find a way to do it with that either. I'm fairly comfortable with the command line, and if it's just a manner of editing a XML file or something, I'm sure I could manage that, I just don't know where to look, and I kind of just don't want to start editing config files on my phone without really knowing what I'm doing. Thanks.
My understanding is colors displayed on websites are property of the website and not the browser. I am sure you have seen black themed websites in the existing browser. I can be wrong though.

I'm interested to know too. But just like what the guy above said, it's probably on the server side.

I want third ability so bad. White chews the battery and I hate having white on my screen which is all the time when I am web browsing. And frankly that sucks

If you're looking to increase your battery I highly recommend Juice Defender (ultimate), increased by batter life 1.8x.
juice defender its worthless as you lose functionality to gain battery that's not acceptable when having a browser with invert colors loses no functionality for the same our close battery life gain

You might be right, I'm not really sure. I do know that there is a common function for inverting the browser colors in the existing CM 6.0 releases. And if it can be done across the board in CM6, maybe there's a way to get working on the Vibrant. That's all I'm trying to figure out...well, that or another way to accomplish the same thing. I could understand if the way it is implemented in CM6 is a FroYo only thing, but if it isn't, we should be able to do that on the vibrant.

You can accomplish pretty much anything juice defender does with tasker instead.
No Steel had this option for like one version, night mode i believe it was called. It inverted text and bc color.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

Funny, I have the same setup
There must be a way to get the websites inverted, I had the Samsung Wave for a week and it HAD that option. I am also desperately looking for some solution for the Galaxy S (same as Vibrant?).
It drives me nuts that for example applications like the GMAIL one, do use black text on white background! WTF? We want to use the amoled properties!
Looking for a solution...
Cheers
I got in touch with the DolphinHD team, and feedback looks promising. Probably I will write the add-on myself so stay tuned!
browsing the net kills the battery really fast thanks to the amoled, i know cyanogen has an inverted browser (ie white text on black) but is there a way to invert the stock browser without cyanogen ?
i found this http://ariya.blogspot.com/2010/10/color-inversion-for-web-pages.html
looks interesting, but i don't know how to use it to make the browser invert :\, however considering this is the same / similar patch from cyanogen it should be possible
I have been experimenting with a way to get the web browser to use a black background using a web filtering proxy. You can check out my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17960461. It works very well on my Galaxy S II, but at the moment, the process is somewhat cumbersome. If you're adventurous, you can give it a try. If not, hopefully some folks will take my solution and package it into something neat and tidy.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

HI, folks!
For last week I've been googling around how to get rid of ugly icon background and frames on my new Droid device.
The trouble is that all app icons at the app screen and at desktop screen has that really ugly background color, that seems to be randomly choosed and a transparent frame (see the attached picture). You can see that on Opera, Skype and Navitel icons. In that case background is blue, but for DrWeb icon it's light gray. That makes my crazy! Moreover, it seems to resize icons to fit in this square frames and that makes it looks even more ugly.
After some search I came up for that it moor looks like an Launcher issue/settings. My devise is an OEM Chinese protected phone (more commonly known as Batl S09) and it seem to have Samsung TouchWiz, at least I have SamsungLauncher4.apk at /system/app/ folder and it's marked as Launcher 4.2.2-eng.wsl in Applicatin section in Settings.
Soo, as I'm very noob in Android hacking, I need help there.
same problem...
Hi Guys,
Very odd but seems like this problem doesn't occur many times. It is happening to me too and this thread is the only thing I found on the web on this topic.
Can anybody help as this is really a pain in the a**.
Thanks a lot!
i got the same problem, any solution so far?
