How can i change the text color of my lock screen's clock if i am using a white/light background
this is on an s8+
and to clarify, i am not talking about the AlwaysOn display. i am talking about the screen you get after unlocking that screen and before the screen where you enter your pin.
iam newby that but in my rom there is an option to show/hide shadows
the shadows make the clock view able if iam using a white bakground

If you're rooted there are plenty of options to change font, font color, font size etc.

that is what i figured. My phone isn't rootable yet, but i have actually gone back to my old phone. My S8+ has just been frustrating the hell out of me and im having SD Card issues and i just cannot even. So maybe when i find answers to THAT problem, a method of rooting it will have surfaced and i will try and go back.
i am so angry.

The Text color is set by the Them, Start Menu>Settings>Home , so you can change the theme, but you could also find a theme making app and make your own ...
Thank you for your replies! but i think i asked the question wrong ,,, What I want to do is change the color of the clock in the top bar itself from white to maybe black or dark blue. i have transparent/skinned bars using co0kie 1.8.5 and if I use a wallpaper that is white i can't see the clock as it is white also. So is it possible to change the color of the clock?
I think i no what you mean mate, as far as im aware right now the clock cant be touched, because i wanted to remove the clock and the only way i could do it was use a white wallpaper,
Hi all...
I using CM10 on my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000), but i while like to add custom icons to the slider lock, what i mean i it gives you the option to add and remove icons to the circle, but only the default icons for an app, what i would like to do is add white icons same as the camera, unlock and google icons on the circle already, if possible, even use the same tone of white. Is that possible? i bet it is, but i dont know how to make it happen.
Please help pout
I am looking for a very generous person to make me a custom wallpaper since I have no idea how to make them.
I am looking for something very simple. (I think it's simple anyway)
I want a very simple, dark, holo (blue), maybe even with the Nexus logo involved with it, background.
On the left most screen, I want, in 4.2.2 font and holo blue colour "OTHER"
Second left most screen I want, once again in the same font and colour "GOOGLE"
Middle/Home screen, same font, colour and style "SOCIAL"
Second right most screen, same font, colour and size "GAMES"
And finally, the right most screen, same font, colour and size "UTILITIES"
If anybody could do this for me it would be grat!

Why don't you download an abstract wallpaper with the colours you want and make the rest with minimalistic text?

How stupid/forgetful (please select one) of me!
Do you know any good wallpaper sites? I've tried Zedge and I can't find what I'm looking for, or at least nothing that is high enough resolution, and if possible I want something that doesn't scroll when you change screens. Or is that a setting?

Yes, this is a setting. Have you tried google images and changing resolution to 2560x1600? There are some nic abstract wallpapers. You can also try with 1920x1080.
I just go to Google images and type in 2560x1600...get tons of images
I practically need a magnifying glass to read the notifications in the Notification panel. Changing the display settings font size does nothing. Any ideas?

try to change the design maybe it helps
Its has nothing to do with Design, I installed Nova Launcher and still the Notification fonts are really Tiny and Subject line of Gmail Notification in black fonts is unredable

I saw a video where someone had white notifications. I think it's on one of the downloable themes (you got to agree to allow access to imei), you can apply that, then customize the theme too add whichever icon pack you want etc
Edit - here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRa4CC62aw0&t=0m8s
The theme is called 'beauty for emui'
None of the Home Screen Launchers will change the Notification Bar and the font size - however the EMUI themes will change the text colours, so try going to Themes, and change to Beauty for EMUI, you will be able to see the Gmail subject line because the background on the notification panel is now white - but then a new problem arises, lol, the banner notifications that come on the top of the screen are all black!!

Unfortunately even Beauty theme has its shortcomings. Gmail notification buttons DELETE and REPLY are now invisible because of the white on white contrast. Anyone hasa better theme solution for this problem?
Hello. I have serious vision challenges and hope someone can help.
Is there a way to adjust the status bar font size on the Samsung S22 plus? The settings for font size and screen zoom do nothing to the status bar or toggles icons text. (I know of and use the magnification feature. However, I simply want to be able to glance at the phone vs. magnifying every time.)
I am ditching my Pixel 6 Pro due to it's awful antenna/modem = sh*t connectivity. The one good thing about the P6P (other than the camera) is that the display size adjustment also scales the font and icon size on the status bar.
Any guidance or suggestions are welcomed. Preferably without rooting the device, I hope status bar size adjustment is possible.
Q: Do fonts downloaded and applied from the Theme Store also change the status bar fonts? Maybe I could find a larger font to install and use it instead? (BTW, Themes store filtering and search are total crap so if you know of one point me to it).
Thank you in advance.
You could try to change the dpi setting, but this will change the size of all. Afterwards you might re-adjust font size and screen zoom like you already did for the rest of the screen.
Go to "Developer options" (if already activated) in "Settings". Search for "Smallest width" note down the dp value and change it to your needs. If you change it to a higher value (e.g. from 411 to 490), everything on the screen will get smaller.
Not sure if you've worked it out yet, if not hopefully this should work for you ..
In Developer Options scroll down to 'Simulate display with cutout' and choose waterfall cutout. Reboot and go back to Simulate display with cutout and choose default Good luck..!
I can confirm that under Android 12 the waterfall cutout/dpi trick just about doubled the font size on my S22.
Since the Android 13 update this week, that hardly makes any difference in the size of the status bar font.
The text and icons in the status bar are literally the most omnipresent information bits on the phone, and they are not resizable? That is a key failure in recognizing customer needs - particularly accessibility needs.
Indeed. After the Android 13 update, the status bar is tiny with no tricks to change its size. The waterfall cutout trick no longer works. There has GOT to be a way to actually make the icons and text in the status bar actually fill that area and not be microscopically small.

Having the waterfall cutout setting just made the screen really narrow for me after the update. There no longer seems to be any good way to increase the font size in the status bar. I have tried some third party applications like Super Status Bar which do increase the font size, but they have limitations such as you can't have a transparent background, and you can't hide the status bar from the always-on display.
Do all S22 phones have the samll font in the status bar?
There are lots of complaints about this all over the internet. Surely it would be a simple matter for Samsung to provide adjustment of the Status Bar font size utilizing a Goodlock module. I live in hope because although it's not a deal breaker for me the small size in annoying.
