IMHO dark notifications and the whole possibility of darkening multiple GUI elements was definitely one of the main advantages of MIUI in the view of an average user. Few days ago, under Android 7/MIUI 9 - it was easily possible to have dark notifications (I mean: light-colored text on dark background) with the help of various (MIUI) themes. But after the newest update things have changed badly: now it seems there is no theme which could darken notifications . Or maybe I can't find the right one yet?
I wonder is it possible to have dark notification again - without root, without Substratum? I've tried Material Notification Shade app but I'd like to play with various dark themes as before - that simple way, no hassle for average users. Is it still possible?

Just simple as that. Is there a way to fix the palette color in CM 7.2 or Blur 2.3 roms?
To clarify my question: using Facebook app in Gingerbread based roms is visible the poor palete schema. Logout and stay on the login screen. You can see a blue ''ladder". Like a crappy gradient of blue colors.
Using the ICS based roms (yes, THAT roms) there is no visible gradient or ladder. Looks like they fixed the palette color of the Atrix LCD.
So, how to do this? I'm a advanced user and I know some tricks, but not this one.
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.
I have been running a 4.3.1 Paranoid Android build. I don't like the dark themes of the system apps. I prefer the stock LG User Interface and colors. I want to know how I can change from the default white text on black background to black text on white background. A color scheme similar to the stock LG UI is preferred. I also couldn't find a widget that matches the functionality of the stock ROM's notification settings. I really liked the brightness slider in the swipe notifications in the stock UI.

Not sure if you have tried this? Xblast Exposed Frameworks Works great on my phone Samsung S2. Worth a glance maybe...
Look in the play store for "cm 10" or "cm 10.2" themes. Then in settings, find the theme section and apply your new theme. What gets themed will vary between themes, and some will be free as well as some running any where from $.99-$2.00. There are a wide variety of choices, just find one that matches your liking.
Also try adding search terms like light holo or white to narrow down what you want. There is also a thread here on xda showcasing themes made by members here, it should be in "android development" -> "android themes"

I tried changing the dark holo background color to white, but I also had to change the default text color from white to black. This made the text unreadable in apps where the dark background did not change to white.
Hi,
On Android 10 (and probably 9 too) the icon names, notification icons ane a few other features change color according to the hue of the wallpaper. For example against primarily white wallpapers the font is black. The at a glance widget however stands out as an odd white against the white backdrop. I've seen it turn black in pixel launchers and was wondering if there's some adb settings tweak or any other method to achieve this. I'm not rooted so probably solutions compatible without root are better.
Thanks
I also want to get rid of the same issue. You got any solution so far ?
This morning I updated to Android 13. I've had no problem whatsoever besides that the dark notifications color palette turned from bluish to sepia.
This affects notifications, google apps and basically every dark mode app.
I have a custom theme, OXYGEN 11 from WSTEAMS in the google playstore. I changed the theme to the default and the color palette turned to blue again.
I know this is then a custom theme related issue, but there being so few themes available for LG. I wish to know if there's a simple way to tweak this setting in this custom theme. Instead of keeping to the default theme that I don't really like much.
Any ideas would be appreciated
EDIT: I've found the issue. Notifications take the color accent from the background, red stuff in the background gets sepia tones for dark mode.
