Hi guys, I'm looking for a Material-inspired theme that instead of the blue-greenish color in settings, switches and other details, it has a grey or white color, more like KitKat. I like the overall design of Android L, but I think the green color should be replaced with a more neutral and cleaner color instead, like light grey and white.
I couldn't find any theme like that, most of the android l themes are a little too much with the color in settings and other stuff, so I wonder if you guys know some? Please link!
Cheers!

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.
Hello guys,
Since KitKat is not holo anymore and is more white instead I will like to theme few things on my ROM.
I will like to theme the settings black gradient to light grey with bit grey darker gradient.
Also I will like to theme anything on systemui dark BG to lighter grey as well as for sample all the pop ups and power options pop up.
Reason is because ROM I'm developing is named Chlorinious X.
Can someone please tell me where to look for and edit at framework-res.apk, settings.apk and others.
Thanks in advanve
I think you'll have more luck in the Themes section. PM a themer and hope for the best.
BTW, it's true that KK isn't pure Holo anymore, but it's more like a cross between Holo and Kennedy (think ChromeOS)
Thanks I will work on that suggestion as I'm willing to make a donation of $50-60 for this if anyone willing to help me out or $100 if help me theme the ROM itself
Hey guys,
I know that there is already an option for that, but i think that it would be better if the bar would darken more, so we can keep the white color for icons because it is a little bit strange when the color always switch from white to grey
A good thing would be to adjust how much 'darkening' the bar needs based on the color of the app, that is to say darken it more when DSB would have normally switch to black whereas this is not really important when the color is already dark (and the icons are still white)
Just my thoughts on this, but overall DSB is a really good news !

I agree with this guy.
I don't care about the grey icons, but a darker status bar would be nice. Like the 'Sense 5' one from 'Translucent Style' Xposed module.
Thanks for making this a reality, though.
Hi,
Just wondering if someone could help me find a CM12 theme that just changes the default teal color throughout the system? The colour is hideous. I do like the blue color of the chrome text selection indicator...
Cheers
Anyone? I've seriously looked everywhere, which I guess could be why no one has replied

Too easy, I looked for same thing. Don't change the font, animation or walls and you will have teal to charcoal grey, nicely done
Super clean free theme
