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.

Hey guys,
I know that there is already an option for that, but i think that it would be better if the bar would darken more, so we can keep the white color for icons because it is a little bit strange when the color always switch from white to grey
A good thing would be to adjust how much 'darkening' the bar needs based on the color of the app, that is to say darken it more when DSB would have normally switch to black whereas this is not really important when the color is already dark (and the icons are still white)
Just my thoughts on this, but overall DSB is a really good news !

I agree with this guy.
I don't care about the grey icons, but a darker status bar would be nice. Like the 'Sense 5' one from 'Translucent Style' Xposed module.
Thanks for making this a reality, though.
I have enabled the dark theme on my phone however is there any way to change the white background of notifications? I would like those darker as well.
I'm pretty sure you need an app called Power Shade - I'm just installing it myself to have a play with...

Thanks for the find! How is it working so far?
Use the Deep Black Theme from the themes topic. Really nice.
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.
On androids, the only thing that is still bland is the notification bar and its icons. It has never really been beautified and is still either in white or black or solid colour.
I suggest someone make a theme so that the icons can be made more real, more 3d and interesting.
Ideas include ceramic icons, metallic icons, etc which could really be a gamechanger in user interface.
A minimal, lightweight and focused launcher.

Hi LyfL3ss. Are you the developer of Aero Launcher? I have been trying to reach the developers of this software for a while now.
I am trying to ask them to add a theme. I would like a yellow text on black theme because it would fit with my phone/tablet and color theme i use overall.
I am adding a Sample i made using two different yellow (dark sand from the yellow theme, and a brighter gold theme)
Otherwise maybe add a way to make your own theme? My understanding is that it's just two colors (background and text color) maybe a color selector would give good flexibility to the users?
I hope i am asking the right person!
Take care.
