hi friends i just purchased HOX 10 days back and noticed that when i set a live wallpaper it only shows up on the home screen and not in the menu's background. The menu is the standard black layout. whereas my friend has got an xperia s and the live wallpaper shows up in the menu's background. Is there anyway this can be changed since the menu looks very dull with the default black theme!!! p.s. phone is unrooted
You´re talking about the AppDrawer (which appears when u click on the centered icon in navigation bar on bottom of the homescreen)?
Then afaik it´s only possible with root and customROM, e.g. ViperX.
Maybe it would be possible without unlock/root with another Launcher from PlayStore, but i dont know which Launcher supports this.
LG, Helmut
thank you, yes thats what i was looking for, you have answered my question. you are right, if i use go launcher from app store with some customized themes the background changes. BTW do you have a you tube tutorial for your ROM. i am new to android since this is my 1st device and a complete noob
It´s not my ROM, i´m only one of the themers
Here´s a preview of the older ViperX v1.0.x, in v2.x there are much more possibilities:

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.
This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!
Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

Ill try to be nice since you posted in wrong forum....most themes will not change everything you asked for...if you want to change lock screen, search for some vrthemes on here or zipthemes, there are TONS of them....for boot logo, you have to change that on your own...there is an app in here that will do that for you and has quiet a few selections....for icons, if you are talking about on launcher, just get a 3rd party launcher like nova and add your favorite icon pack....a few good ones are in these forum....and for home screen, that is usually changed with the theme you apply.
remember, you must be rooted and on a rom that has theme engine...WILL NOT WORK with stock, rooted or not.
Go for MIUI.

Hey Everyone!
I've been using the Huawei P8 Lite for quite sometime now, with one particular pet peeve...
THE FREAKING STATUS BAR DOESN'T CHANGE COLORS ON MATERIAL APPS LIKE IT SHOULD!!
Hopefully when marshmallow and the next EMUI version are released for our Huawei phones, they will correct this.
But for Now, here's a working solution that will take less than 5 minutes
THE SOLUTION
Take an Image that you want as your wallpaper and put it in an image editor like Photoshop or GIMP (heres the link to the site, it's a good free editor https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ ). There are plenty of online editors to do the job too
Next, using your preferred editor, change the opacity of the image (I found that generally about 40%-50% is a good amount)
Now export/save this image as a .png Image file
Put the image on your phone, set it, and Reboot (Must reboot to clear the after image effect)
(It can be a pretty quick process!! )
Now rock your phone in Style!!!
Trouble Shooting
If you find the status bar is still not transparent enough in Apps, repeat the process but decrease the opacity while editing. It will make the image more transparent.
ALTERNATIVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LIL TIME TO SPARE
Follow hjthjthjt's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-how-to-lollipop-translucent-bars-t3232898
Though it doesn't work after rebooting, that's why I came up with this solution.
I wanna say thank you to hjthjthjt , their thread really helped. It actually inspired this alternative sollution. Thanks.
example images in the Attachments Bellow
Edited image, an unedited image, the wallpaper on my home screen
and Google Play Store to Show the Transparent/Translucent Bar.
If I helped you, Click the Thanks Button, I really appreciate it
Doesn't work for me. What theme are you using?
Edit: It works after a while and few repeats. Not sure why. Thanks though! It looks awesome!
Awesome!! I'm using the magazine ui theme, the launcher is nova launcher with the sunshine icon pack. I found it's important to restart the phone after applying the wallpaper. Gets it to work properly. I really hope they fix/change this in the future marshmallow updates. At least for now it works
It's transparent on my p8 lite.
Awesome!! @ItalianWolf are you using this method or another wallpaper/live wallpaper?

No method, i'm using the default emui theme (magazine if i remember), lockscreen and home background (i set different) are full hd images, loop screen on, home style standard.
There's another way to do this. You take your wallpaper, open it up on Photoshop or Gimp, apply a gradient on the top of the picture and make it transparent so it does not look ugly as hell. Then you apply it and reboot. That's what has been done for the EMIUI theme.
You can also use various live wallpapers.

P 8 Light works perfekt transparent. PHONE HAS BEEN ROOTED, i have FLASH THIS ZIP with "Flashify". TWRP_2.8.7.x_P8Lite_kirin_v2 Recovery.
Thanks
there is also a package for rooted phones which i have installed it but it makes most of other application ugly. (huawei application that use blurry title bar now are black and white and very ugly).
so don't try installing that. hope upgrading to android 6.0 fixes my phone.
(package name was: EMUI3.1TransucentBars)
TranslucentBar
I did flash this file (EMUI3.1TranslucentBars.zip) and P8L work perfekt. with Next Launcher 3D.
Alternative Way [tested]
Use this app called (material status bar lollipop) it's developed by {treydev}
sorry XDA won't let me post the link :crying::crying::crying:
Here U will not only have a transparent status bar also you will get a android 5.0 panel.
ps: i don't own this app and it's the first result on google play store.
If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?
Also i look a way to turn to old icons
you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....
but not change all sistem icon...
The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.
"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.
HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel
install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah
So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70
@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...
Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZIqXgAAzQlQFhtx42
Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs
@6th_Hokage ??
I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.
I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx
Wrong topic...go post in general Q&A
