[Q] Text barely readable in "Choose app" list. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Just bought a new GSIII (GT19300), and it updated itself to Android 4.3.
All seems well except that when I do a long press on one of the screens and select to add either Apps or Shortcuts, the lists that are shown display the icons OK, but the titles next to the icons are in black against a dark blue background, and so are difficult to read.
Anyone know how to change this?
All other lists are quite legible.
Many thanks

[Q] ADW text and icon overlap

I have text under the icons, but the text is too high. The text overlaps a small part of the icon. Can't you set the height of the text, not the size?
I have already tried fewer colums/rows and and smaller icons don't help either. This is only when I have 'New Icons" checked in UI settings
Hi,
I dont use it anymore but if I remember correctly, uncheck the second option right under New Icons should fix it.

Thanks, going to try that.
Edit: nope, that is "highlights press color"

[Q] System Notification Pop-ups

Hi,
After I upgraded to Gingerbread, the system pop-up notifications (when you type a wrong password while trying to login to an application - "invalid password, and other popups), the color is right now teal and very hard to read with my live wall papers. Is there a way to change this default system pop-up notification color? This is not the notification bar, but pop-up notification.
Like also for example, you try to add a widget on a screen and it can't fit, it displays a pop-up window that says something that "system can't add it" and that color is quite unreadable.
Any help or advised would be much appreicated.
Sounds like you need to visit the UOT Kitchen! Google it, you can custom your status bar, pop up windows, icon colors & loads more! Just watch the tutorial video & your soon be cooking up in no time! Just a warning.... This can be additive, But fun.
Have fun & enjoy a new looking phone when ever you feel like it, hope this helps

[Q] Why is widget grid size limited when customize on your own phone?

I get that the developers/designers are only doing themes for specific screen resolutions right now, but why is the core tools for creating custom Themer widgets restricted by large grid settings?
Confused as to what I mean? Please let me explain.
I can create a custom widget, which starts with the background box. But, in order to line the background box up with my home page background, I have to set the color of the background widget to a solid color and then resize it since it doesn't visualize the snap-to grid element (which it does).
So, as I said above, why is this limitation there in the first place? On my Note 2 I can't create a widget that goes to the top of my screen because it is out of bounds of my screen and when I go to add elements to the widget, they don't line up correctly unless I resize the widget background box to snap to below the top of my screen (by a good amount).
So, is it at least possible to have the default grid snap distance greatly reduced or give us an option to set it ourselves in regards to setting the widget itself?
I've encountered zero issue with moving elements within a widget box other than the inability to lock items individually once placed (that would truly help in them designing).
Sorry for any confusion, I'm not aware of the standard labels for the various design elements of a widget or the like.

Hows it going? Im Bill from MCS.
Im a still a bit confused as to what you are asking and what tools it is that you are using in Themer that are giving you the issue.
Im sure you have already made sure that padding is turned OFF in the settings, but I have to say just to be safe.
IF you are getting spaced on the sides or top or your widget, you might want to check to see if you are using odd numbers for the Grid (rows and columns). Because of the way custom build widgets from WYSIWYG editors like Zooper and Everything widget render on the screen you might be a 1px gap if you are using odd numbered Rows or Columns in your grid.
This is the first thing I would check. I have seen an issue where for some reason I get a 2 or 4px padding on the top and bottom of the widgets. It only happens to me now and again. I can usually delete the widget and re-add it to get rid of the issue.

EMUI 10 theme notification BG color doesn't change....

Hi everyone.. I'm at a loss and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Let's start saying I'm a super noob with this so all I do is just by trial and error.
Anyway, I have a theme I made with some custom image from my phone. I really like it, but no matter what I try, the color behind the notifications (not the quick menu, that one is fine with the shade of blue I picked) always remains white and so does the main settings background. (the settings background in the dialer app instead, for instance, changes fine, with the same file...??)
I don't understand what or where this white is located cause I've pretty much tried to replace everything white that isn't font or button colors... Yet no luck. Maybe it's hidden somewhere I can't see it?
Basically in the latest theme manager, I go to Home screen, settings, and under background I put a .9.png file. But this image is never reflected in the theme when I apply it. I don't know if this is what affects the notification color either, but I have no other clue what could be since it's the only 2 things that remain white in the theme!
I know it's possible to definitely change notification BG color in emui 10 themes because I have downloaded some who have green or red/blue notifications and those changed fine.... So I copied them from phone to pc and selected import in the theme studio cause I wanted to check where the difference was... But when I import them they revert to default. Maybe they're protected (rightfully so!) or something?
If anyone who makes themes could kindly help or tell me where the exact setting for the notification colors is, it would be a great help, or if anyone knows why that image doesn't get applied to the theme!
Thanks!
