Nested Preference Screens Issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to make an app that allows for accent color theming throughout the app so the user can pick whatever color they would like. Because this is after the app starts up, it cannot be changed via XML android styling and must instead be done programatically with java.
I managed to set the colors based on the theme selected (more or less, still working out kinks) but I noticed that in nested Preference Screens the actionbar defaults to the XML style of gray. How would I change the actionbar of all nested Preference Screens?
here is a video demonstrating the theming functionality and you can see on the second preference screen the actionbar loses the color and turns gray.

[Q] How to change Flipout color scheme

Hi
I'm very happy with my brand new FlipOut, but I'm not with the default color scheme: some of colors conflicts with applications, resulting in some grey-on-black texts, or blue-on-red notifications.
Is there a way to change the color scheme?
yeah there are many apps which change the theme!
i use "91 panda home 2" its free. it changes your menue etc.
there is a theme market linked in it..so you can choose what you want!
i like the default theme comes with panda 2. sometimes there is a bug in it. after the first use of a new theme you have to flip the display and back...then you have the right orientation!
by the way panda is also a nice app because it changes to smaler icons..
I've already changed my home app (I use Zeam), but unfortunatley it doesn't change color scheme for non-home elements. Does Panda can do it?
what i have seen it changes everything try out plz...its in the market
I've tried it: it changes desktop, dockbar, but notification bar and global color for apps (background/foregrounde selected colors especially) they remain the same.
Any news about system colours changer app? I hate that grey-like look!

[Q] Theme Q - Editing Widgetlocker Icons (Photoshop)

Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance

Change lock screen text color

I have a HD7 and the lockscreen text is ALWAYS white even if you change the theme to dark. I wouldn't really care normally, but the text is hard/impossible to read depending on the background for a bright lockscreen background. I would just write an app to change it but there's nothing in the API to do anything with the lockscreen. So just curious if there is some other way to change this before taking other drastic measures.
as i know,there is no way to change it.maybe u can search the theme regs to find out if thereis a color code to control the text color.

[Q] Looking for advanced color inversion without root

I know that Xposed has a module that allows you to invert system colors, as well as in other areas. What I am looking for is something that basically inverts all text to show white characters against a black background... but here's the catch:
I don't want to invert the colors of images, be them PNG, TIFF, JPEG, GIF or whatever.
It seems to me that color inversion is a wise way to save battery life, especially on an AMOLED screen, so why there aren't numerous options or apps to provide such a feature is kind of beyond me at the moment.
I have a Note 3, and there is color inversion, but I don't know anyone who wants to look at inverted pictures. Computer power users are all too familiar with reverse text being much easier on the eye and more legible. If I have to root, I'm not opposed to it, but only if there's something that truly allows you to invert colors system wide without inverting photos...
Are there any options out there that I'm missing?

A question about icon text and icon background.

I know I can control the icon's background color and transparency but is there a way to control the icon text in the same way? Many of the wallpapers that I like to use make the text hard to see and read. At times, a wallpaper will have a lighter color or colors at the bottom and darker colors at the top so changing the text color does not help. It would be great if the icon background was extended farther down to the text line. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
