Hello!
This is my lockscreen right now: http://i.imgur.com/MkvfR.png
As you may see, the clock and the date under the clock is pretty hard to see. Therefore I want to make the text bold, so I can see it better. Does anyone know how I can do this? If I can't make it bold, I would like to change color of it if possible.
Thanks in advance!

rather than that a simple Dark background picture will do the trick, since the present one is too white for the text's to be highlited

Yeah a dark background would solve the problem, but that girl is nicer than a black background

at least u can use a photo editor software to reduce the background whiteness so that u can retain the girl's photo as well as ur issue also resolves

If I would do that, would I be able to reduce the background whiteness so much that I can see the clock and the picture is still OK?
If so, could you recommend me a photo editor that has the ability to reduce the background whiteness?

Apparently, there is no fix to this issue. GS2 displays white-colored text on lockscreen. You've set a white wallpaper which matches with color of text. Result- no text. white + white + white. Use a background with dark or at least non-white colors.

I want some mew backgrounds for the S memo app but have had no luck searching for any. A transparent background would be ideal. Any idea of how to implement this or a note app that supports transparent PNG files?
Over pulled the S memo app and will decompile it shortly to find the backgrounds. It doesn't seem to save them elsewhere on the SD card. However I'm unsure how to go about making a transparent image.
A white image with an opacity too it, then saved as a .png.. Give me some dimensions when you pull the backgrounds and I'll throw a few different variations your way.

Ok, it looks like they have the background as 3 or 4 parts. I'm not certain but I think that is how it'll have to be changed.

edit. I could post the entire drawables folder if you'd like instead.
Got em, curious as to why there's multiple of the same image though. Will you be on for awhile? Would love to have this myself.

Yeah, I'll be up for a bit. I'll upload the drawable folders now
Edit. They're up. http://db.tt/PcqSPqgq
Here's the 4 you dropboxed, Solid white for the toolbar and opacity through the body (75%, might need to be adjusted).
If the drawables doesn't need work and that works correctly, screenshot please
What about this one..

that one is cool. I'm planning on using a completely transparent background so I can mod a FancyWidgets clock skin with the numbers will be in my handwriting. I'll recompile and install once I get done with this nandroid
Wow, that's personalization to the max. Are you compiling a truetype of 1-9 or what? However you do it, please share. That'd be an awesome guide.
I intend on just replacing the 0-9.png files in the skin I'm using. If it works out I'll post it here with some screenies. Can you go ahead and make one with 100% transparency?
It's not working. I'll try using the other one you made with Andy and see if I can see the difference then.
edit. Nothing. I'm thinking that the images are used in a different way to make the backgrounds. I'll look into it more and see if I can come up with the answer.
The android one won't work. I believe uploading a png as an attachment on XDA will automatically render it as a jpg. If you figure out which files to revise let me know.
S Memo Background
Regarding color schemes, i believe dark colored notes like the one used in S Planner in handwriting mode will be energy efficient for amoled screen devices and will also look great and elegant on any screen (like when you put it as a widget in the homescreen). I think the handwriting screen in s memo uses a dark gray background with light gray gridlines and an aqua blue font/handwriting lines. This makes it look great and unobstrusive.
Just a suggestion.
Not sure if you guys are already doing this, but you have edit the .9.png files in the drawable landscape and portrait xhdpi folders You cannot just overwrite a .9 png with a standard png or it will not work. I suggest googling how to edit .9 png files as I'm sure someone out there can explain it better than I can.

how you make it transparent ?
i using GT-S6810 , and i following some guides but its not give me a trasnparent effect . can you help me about it ?
Hello
deleded
Ok i have found a way to make any wallpaper appear with transparent notification and onscreen keys just like stock wallpapers, on stock launcher. It is so easy and i just haven't seen it reported anywhere so I thought I should mention it. All u need to do basically is to zoom in just a little bit on the wallpaper when selecting it. I mean crop it just a little bit. You will see it works like a charm
Updated instructions: long tap on homescreen. Go to wallpapers. Select ANY picture u want. Comp!ete action using "Crop picture". Tap on the upper blue arrow and drag it down just a little bit( really just a timy bit is enough). Select crop. U are done. Enjoy

Screenshots incoming, sorr for zip format but size was too big for jpeg and i had no time to upload them to another site and then post urls. It works like charm the photo i set is one i took with my camera but works on any pic or wallpaper
You can crop it even less than i did but i cropped so much so that it shows on screenshot
that "semi transparent" notification bar is usual. The really transparent notificaton bar is when you dont see any edge of it. So, sorry but its nothing new.

Then quick question. If i dont do the above, i get black bar and black (non transparent) buttons on my homescreen unless i select a stock wallpape?that means there is something wrong with my device? Please advise... Only thing i get that semitransparent effect with other pics is when i do the above. Is there something wrong?

Ok will try reflashing stock and see if it is solved. Also can a moderator close this thread?
I know this is a basic question, but is there a way to set no wallpaper as a background?
I can change between Live or Gallery etc, but I want a completely black background.
I suppose I could upload a black image, but overkill?

Started a new thread with more colour options, the op was getting too crowded
So I'm sharing a theme I made for anyone else that wants a lightweight theme.
Main changes from stock:
-iOS inspired dialer.
-Dark switches, system settings & quick settings icons.
-Changed brightness & volume sliders.
-Google sans font
-Darker text in some areas & and some system dialogue box backgrounds.
Only tested on my Mate 20 Pro, but will try to fix any errors if any are found.
Just remove ".zip" to use the theme
Thanks to @maurydes for allowing me to use some elements from his blue gradient theme, can be found here:
https://themesmanager.app/links/aGJU
*Launcher Icons made with Iconpackstudio:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.iconpackstudio
(if anyone wants to use them, can also update to include any missing icons)
Mega link for the icon pack: https://is.gd/s672uw
11 Feb 20
*Added green (grn), orange (org) & red accent colours, plus Gboard gradient backgrounds.
If anyone want to use a different dialer colour you can unzip the theme and swap com.android.contacts.
***Known bug, the subject text on Gmail notification is dark grey, this only happens when the qs & notification are black, still trying to fix this***

When you share post on Instagram, that's when the share sheet comes. N yes , make that name highlighted as you have shown in your screen shot. Also another bug I found is that when an SMS comes in Google messages the mark as read and reply option is invisible and not readable

Ok, I'll take a look later this evening but I don't use Instagram or Google messages so might need you to test. Also probably do a separate new theme since I prefer the darker text, any other requests for the new theme?

No thanks, darker text is fine, no need to change , if u can make or keep it as stock contact dark theme would be nice. Just hopefully if u can make the text readable for Google messages WhatsApp etc... Would be great. Love the pitch black shades

Had some time today, theme updated v1.4, fixed dark notification text, made text in contacts a few shades lighter & share sheet in Instagram darker.
Let me know if you see anything else, i dont use many stock apps so might have missed something.

Suggestion, possible to make the shade of grey more darker of the share sheet in Instagram.
I'll keep u up to date on any bugs if found... Love the changes u made into contact, texts looks much better
Possible to make the subject of email in notification readable in Gmail if not white... Some other color to read the subject text when u receive email.
Another bug found on the default weather app... Weird black bar at the top, even after restarting phone. Also a suggestion can u not make the font color bold in settings but more like as stock, less highlighted... Better for the eyes

Found another bug while expanding notification for Gmail and facebook
Just want to thank u so much for taking any suggestions into consideration. Very appreciated... Near perfect dark theme.
Hi, is it possible to make the Instagram share sheet this shade of dark, u can use marydues pitch black theme for reference. It will look really cool n cohesive with the rest of theme.
Btw, wanted to ask why is the contact not fully pitch black, it's a shade lighter than the bottom part and search box.
Also a suggestion as u can in the first screenshot of the file manager, is it possible to make the font color of the general theme like this in terms of boldness, like the main title n subtitle of this shade of white.
Very big bug report, icons n texts are not visible per screenshot in the in call app

Yeah, I was rushing and left out the incall UI it's fixed now, also fixed the expanding notification (v1.6).
I've just seen your post about the file manager and contacts, both are intentional but I'll take a look tomorrow.
