[Q] theme for email app - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The email app looks good in the list view. It uses an oled friendly dark background. The email doesn't look as good when it is opened. I did notice an option for view settings that changes the color a bit. Does anyone know what it would take to get white text on a black background?

Sorry, dude. It took a lot longer to theme than I thought.
But I think I got it down SMASH.
Give this a shot. It should work, but I'm not the best themer on the planet. We may need to escalate this to someone better.
I am so stoked to hear how much you like it.

WP Clock Live wallpaper

Hopefully this is in the right place to post, but I had to share this for those that never heard of this live wallpaper.
Its easy on the battery since there's not alot moving, and overall just a nice informative wallpaper to have.
There's a free and paid version 65cents? Paid version doesn't really offer to much more than the free one, besides choosing a background and different color fonts and making the font move. But at 65cents not a bad deal I suppose.
Its called WP Clock on the market.
i just love WP Clock..
May I ask if anyone knows what is the widget that looks like the wallpaper with the clock and the tine n stuff but its a widget instead of a wallpaper.

Is this what you're looking for?
Been using this for a full month by now. It's by far the most useful/pretties widget replacing wallpaper I've yet to use.
And for its price, it's a steal.
this thing rocks... LOVE IT!!!
just bought wp clock and i must say it looks fantastic. one thing abt it though, i don't like how its a wallpaper so every homescreen's filled with the thing. really need the space on other homescreens for other stuff. if only they could make this into a widget. typoclock looks similar but i love the data connection and battery info. i tried using multi live wallpaper to have multiple wallpapers simultaneously but it doesnt support using a live wallpaper and a normal one from the gallery. so i guess im stuck, or has anyone found a solution for this yet?

the developer is really good at taking and implementing suggestions... I asked for drop shadow, but he wasn't able to figure that out, so he did the outline so I set my text to white (40% opaque) and outline to black (4pt 80% opaque) and it's almost as good as drop shadow... definitely gives enough contrast to where you can read it no matter what your background is... tell you what, I would actually like the same thing, so I will request it as well, and maybe we'll get it twice as fast =)

I'm running it also and love it but want the empty place holders for the contact pics darker.
I would like to know where that image is and if I can photoshop it and replace it.
The place holder for the picture of an in call pic too.
Can anyone tell me where it is located and if I can edit and save it in photoshop.
The dark stuff is great but the place holders still light up my face and the inside of the car. Heh!
thanks

It should work on ANY ROM since its not a system reliant APK.
Thank you, thank you and thank you! Now as soon as Mail gets themed ... OMG! Happy.

reworked the icon darkened
Niiiiiiice!
Love the darker icon too!
Would it be possible to have the white lines separating messages in a thread removed or made a darker color. This includes the greenish looking vertical lines on the left of all of my rows.
Thanks! I love this theme.

I second this. The themed apk is great but the white lines that are greenish on the sides disrupt the flow of an otherwise perfect theme.
I'd love to see the lines match the blue found throughout the OS for fluidity.
again, thanks for this!
The only thing I don't like us the white outline around the messages in the conversation view. It should be grey like it is in the thread list.

Great, hated the yellow hue to the white background. Works great on Eagle's 4.0.3
I really like it but I agree with the others.. the lines kind of break the flow a bit.
Thanks!
Loving this. Running fantastic on mine.
I read someplace someone was working in the email app. I wish I would have bookmarked the post. Anyone know?

Google must be toying with us with the Messaging app icon!!

Hey,
I don't know if Google is trying to be funny or something but i find it VERY irritating and stupid that THE WHOLE OS is Cyan (or Blue) and Black ... EVERYTHING... the main icons of phone, people app, notification bar and even the glowing effect of over scroll... except ONE thing, the Messaging app.. GREEN AND WHITE..!!! And not only that, their Flagship device has Super AMOLED screen and there is no DARK theme inside the app settings!! Seriously, Google?
Anyway, i'm done raging now is there a way to change the messaging app icon? (i don't like using third party apps) i want it to be ANYTHING that is similar in color to the Phone app ...
and to take this maybe a step further, is there a way to re-theme the app itself to something DARK with a lot of blacks rather than whites? (i'm not a Dev so i'm just asking, don't flame at me if it's impossible, i dunno)
Aaaaaan that's it, thanks for reading

and if you scroll further down its much easier changing the icons using an app called ninjamorph!
As a graphic designer I was wondering about the exact same issue.
ICS is a big advance in terms of design, but there are a few big "mistakes" designwise imho. It's not only the Messaging icon, it's the whole messaging app, I agree with you. Colorwise it's absolutely the opposite of what it should be... same thing with the People app, way too bright to fit the whole theme of the OS. Should be themed in the same way like the call log and the contacts tap in the dialer.
I don't understand who had the idea to design the calendar, sms and contact app in a completely different design.:thumbdown: Fortunately I'm not the only who is unhappy with this.
Hopefully the next update brings us a consistent ui.

Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?

lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)

The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother

That little indent comes from contacts or google plus having sync on (i think). I did update the OP with something a little more tame lol (gray main screen background and white conversation background)

Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work. Last request I promise, but do you by chance have the stock mms apk with stock icon? Figure this would be the easiest request. I'm running nitroz's black exodus and just hate the all black mms

You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.
ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?
No idea how to do that. And I don't have a working computer right now

All issues should be resolved. I still have a few ideas, but they're still in development for now
Dreaded FC is now fixed!
I really love your mod!
Is it possible to make one without the text shadow and where the bubbles touch each other (like in stock MMS.apk)?

[Request] Live Wallpaper

Hey so I was hoping someone knew how or would like to create a live wallpaper that would look nice. Back on sense on the original evo, there was that sense moving colorful circles, always wanted someone to attempt to make a cooler version of that. If anyone is up to it, or knows where I could find a section on xda willing, I would appreciate it.
But anyways, my general idea is like this wallpaper (not 100%) I found but moving, passing over one another, all that. Maybe color changing like fading to different colors or movement speed in its settings or any of that kind of stuff. This is only an idea I think some people would love for a nice neutral live wallpaper considering a lot now a days aren't so good imo...
Edit: I know this isn't a request forum or shouldn't be named request, more of possible ideas to be developed. And the reason I don't use the sense one is because it got a bit boring.. I'm personally a fan of black with bright colors or abstract, what ever it would be called.
