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 ?

Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance
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.
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?
So I have always used a livewallpaper.
But with this phone I get a green tint on the lockscreen and when I pull down the status bar.
Have I done something stupid or do you have the same experience?
Euro Phone with 5 october.
The system detects the major color of the wallpaper and sets the translucent overlay with similar tint. I am running Alien shapes live wallpaper (black with colored lines) and my notification shade/lockscreen are grey. With static green(ish) wallpaper I get green tinted notification shade and lockscreen, with red wallpaper the tint is red. This feature is present since Android 8.1. https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/...ication-power-menu-shadows-just-like-pixel-2/
But I have had starfield with several phones since 8.1.
Last mi mix 3. There was no green tint on that one?
And starfield has 0 green. Black with whitish stars.
take a screenshot and check that green tint is in there or not

Feature has been present on clean Android versions. MIUI and maybe others probably did not implement it (fully/correctly).
Detection of color for live wallpapers is hit and miss. I vaguely remember that LWPs report their color to the system, not the other way around as with static wallpapers. Even almost black ones can trigger light theme. You can verify this feature with static wallpapers easily.

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!
