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.

There are some apps that when they do not completely fill the screen, there is a default image on the Droid that fills the space.
In the two examples below (Chomp SMS and K9-Mail), the light grey area at the bottom is actually a fine pattern and not a continuous tone, leading me to believe that it in a stock image file.
Does anyone know how to change this image, or replace it with a solid color? Are there any themes that address this? I'd like to get it to be all black to blend with the color schemes I've chosen in the programs.
Thanks,
Chris
I'm with you, I'd like contact list etc to be white on black instead of black on white/gray
If I want a light background, how can I make the icon text dark in Sense?
or should I use a different launcher, and in which case, which ones support this?
Thanks,
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"

There is a link to the thread, I hope you can find one to suit your liking.

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.
using a huawei y9 prime 2019
was looking for a dark theme that has dark notifications and notification bar without making it hard to read some of the stuff, some dark themes make the settings and other huawei apps basically unreadable since the text stays black and the background is black.
also has some got solution on when the dark theme is on, and you're typing sideways on the textbox, the text is white. making it black text or making the background to white?
thanks
