White glow/banding around text? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I notice that most of the time there is a kind of white glow around text on the SIII's screen, that's quite annoyin when you have certain color backgrounds (anything not white or black actually). It's most noticable on the Dynamic and Standard setting.
Is there some kind of fix or soltion for this? I never noticed this on my Galaxy Nexus so it can't be the AMOLED screen...

I've noticed this subtle white banding on text under certain circumstances also. I don't think it's anything wrong with your display. It could be artifacts created from the contrast. Personally I don't find it too of putting and it sometimes helps with legibility. It could be something to do with the display trying to sharpen things.

Nice! It's this exactly!
Now it's like this:

And it should be like this:
Great to hear that Supercurio is working on this! Does he have an XDA thread as well or should we follow his website?

No thread yet for the S3 but you can follow his twitter.

im suffering this as well. I really hate it!
Hope he fixes it soon!

Yeah I'm getting more and more annoyed by the phenomenon. Especially since this didn't occur on the Galaxy Nexus, so it's a software thing for sure..

Colored Diamond Themes

I like dark themes, and I really like the Diamond v2 theme, but thought it needed something, so I removed the red and green to make it blue!
So, I thought I would share it to see if any one else likes it.

That was what I was trying for, just barely enough to see something there. it seems to look better on the handheld than on the desktop, almost holographic.
Like I said I like dark themes
I like the blue, but it's too dark for me.
I can brighten it up and make other color versions if someone would post the original .jpeg of the background. I can't remember where it is on my phone.
Ok, you guys inspired me to make a few of these. Here you go, I hope they are better. I brightened up the colors, and made several colors.

Also tuton, the other issue is no one has been able to figure out how to change the color of the clock numbers without causing all sorts of trouble, so a yellow status bar wouldn't look that great at the moment.

I definitely haven't tried! I know you'd been working on it and I thought you had some help too. I've been watching that thread because I really like the vanilla look. Oh well, heh.

Request: Background Image (Might be hard to get).

I've searched everywhere on this forum and others but I haven't found anything close to what I'm looking for so I'm hoping some one will be able to help me out with this one.
The image I'm looking for is the background for the Night Time weather lock screen on the 3.0 Sense. Just in case I worded that wrong when I first hit the power button at night the lock screen loads with the moon, time, date, (Current) ect. There is a dark image in the background after the animation clouds clear with a grid pattern from the bottom of the page to the middle and a distant starry night sky from the middle up through the time.
Even if it's that image with the moon I don't care the moon is a clean image either way I am going crazy looking for it, I figured it would be an easy find considering but apparently not.
I still haven't found it yet, if anyone can help me out it would mean a lot.

What 'trail light effect'?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
My guess would be as you drag your finger around the screen a light trail follows your finger around... It would have to fade out though as you move around the screen like a comet so the effect would look really nice...
But not heard or seen one in any themes or rom as yet (if thats what you mean)...
First :UpUpUp:

Yellow tint...is this normal?

I have a TF201 and it has a warmer yellow tone to it.
Watching Simpsons on it looks great but other than that, watching regular stuff the skin tones are overly yellowing.
Here's a picture of what I mean:

}
The paper is supposed to be white...the lack of lighting in the room makes it look bluish...but you can compare the difference.
Thoughts?
Am I being overly picky here?
Others have reported a yellow tint.
My screen also is too yellow, but I didn't want to return my Prime because of the chance of getting one that was defective in a more serious way! There is a relatively simple solution if the yellow tone is bothering you -- use an app like Screen Adjuster than can change the tint of the display. There are plenty of other apps that may be better, but I haven't tried them.
Note that Screen Adjuster does not have a "decrease yellow" option -- using colour theory, I instead added blue.
Also, if you want something to show up as white in photos, learn to use your camera's White Balance feature!

Power saving mode supposedly just reduces contrast, it isn't supposed to alter colour balance. I find I have the yellow tint regardless of which mode I choose.
