Are you talking about the "highlight" when you hold on an app?
As far as I know, that can be changed by the Themes.
Try a different theme and see if you like the change.
You might have to make up your own theme if there is no theme with a "no highlight" option.
Not 100% sure though.

You need to change focused_application_background.9.png (in Launcher.apk/res/drawable) to a clear graphic. From here it is an easy metamorph. You will want to search and read about .9.pngs before doing this though.

I believe you are talking about the text under the Icons, that has the dark oval background behind the white letters, right?
If so I am not sure if there is a way to change it yet, and have yet seen anyone do it.

I am fairly certain that can be changed using the colorchange.jar java app for cyanogen roms. I use it to give my theme white letters on a black background throughout. It seems to change the oval to black also, and thus can be changed. Here is the problem, it is tied into many other colors in the OS, and so it will not be possible to just change that color.

Change home font color to black

Hi there,
can anyone help me? I'd like to use a bright background image for my home tab and then can't see anymore the next calendar tasks and the call history or the date cause their color is bright, too. Can anyone explain me how to change that, or even better, send me the canged file?!

Thank you very much!!

You can use RC mod to change the color of the today screen text and various other bars on your phone. I think it should give you what your looking for. I'm not sure if it works on the manila roms. I haven't tried it on those yet.
no doesn't work :-/
Interesting question... I´d also like to know. Anyone knows how to turn those letter into black (of the Home tab)???
Don't use Rc Mod on HD not work.
I'm working on a new version for Diamond and HD.

I've installed it and I've managed to change about every color, exept the one I wanted to change. Finally, I really messed up colors trying to change the color of Today font. So, which option it is for today's color font?
I have my doubts, anyway, because I've search around with no answer to this question. I doubt that is such simple.

Do someone have an idea to change the font color?
Hey can anybody help me with this too?
The white and grey fonts don't show very well on backgrounds of the tabs of TF3D.
I've tried to use MaxTTM but couldn't get it to change it :\
Surely someone could shed a sentence of light on this...
Hate to bring up an old post, but any luck with this?
Looking to change just the fonts on the HOME tab only to black.

[Q] need a rom/mod/theme to fix my epic

Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.

how to make a "light" theme

i really like how the people app looks in ics
can i edit framework to change the settings menu background to the white color in the people apk? as well as change the text to black so i can actually see it? maybe even make the dialer have a white background as well. thanks for any help i would love to make ics more of a "light" theme.
EDIT: is it possible to change the image in frame work labeled (not sure on the name) holo_background_dark.png, if i did replace this how to i change the font to be dark as well
a lot of text issues arise when making a white theme. more so than just changing the text color in framework and sysui
It's possible, of course, but the fact that you are asking those questions warrants the answer 'but not advisable for YOU to mess with it'.
It's not simple as 'changing one background/text color'.
Edit: if you are really determined to do it, take a look at this: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

thank you for the guide.
my title isn't really clear on what im doing, its not necessarily a whole theme, i still want to keep all apks the same as well as the status bar and stuff, but more or less changing the background image of the settings menu to white by extracting the frame work and replacing the gradient grey png with a white one and then changing the font in the settings menu to a dark grey. which works in root explorer alone. i just need to find out how to change the font color. which could probably be done by putting in a hex code to a system file right?
if not o well atleast i tried lol, hopefully there will be a light theme soon.

[Q] How to get 3 color gradient

When defining the Fill Mode of a Gradient progress bar, the FG color and Additional Color options seem to define beginning and end gradient colors. How would you get a 3rd color if you wanted to create an effect similar to UCCW "Hollow with gradient" style for a battery gauge?
Anybody?
Anyidea?
Crickets Crickets...... does anybody have any idea on this OP?
Why not create two seperate progressbars (1st from 0-50, 2nd from 51-100, second progressbar beginning with the colour the first one ends with)?

Here's a screen of it in a circle.
Very nice @Sandman.
I would settle for gradients to work properly for two colors. So much more we could do if they worked.

The easiest way is to make multiples of the same thing with different gradients, or make images in photoshop touch for phone, then pull into ZW.

Gradient IS broken, at least the way it renders on my phone. The color never actually converges to the second color. If you have a pure black object and set the gradient color to pure white it never actually gets to pure white. Same when setting to transparent...it never actually becomes transparent at the edge of the gradient field.
The problem with using Gimp (not going to spend $100 to make widgets, and have no other use for Photoshop) is its kind of a pain to go back and forth. If gradients worked it would cover a ton of my use cases.
I agree. But I was talking about the 4.99 app from the app store.
Check out "Photoshop Touch for phone"

It works wonders. ..

What is the hex code for the blue in Android 7.1.1?

Specifically I mean the little arrow when selecting text, the bar on the brightness bar, your profile picture in the drop down menu, the phone app, contacts app, etc.
I'm trying to build a themed home screen and I need the exact code to make matching colors if possible please. Thank you.

I've always been partial to the old ICS blue for trim on a dark theme.

Thanks! I may share it if I have some new idea but for now my theme is just for the calendar widget. My old idea is no longer good (one I used on ICS) since I had day, time, and weather on my home screen which is now in a built in widget.
If you're looking for the Pixel specific blue then the hex is #4885ED. If it's just the blue in Nougat then I'm not sure. Pixels got a different shade of blue than everyone else.
