Hi, So I've been using my One M8 for almost a week now. It's truly awesome. One thing I've noticed however is the difference in the color of my home screen clock widget. It appears to change automatically as seen in the screenshots taken a few hours apart. Is there a way to keep it on the black background with white text? Or is that a feature on the Sense 6? Changing themes doesn't seem to make any difference either. Any thoughts?

At night is black, and during daytime is white, i think you can't change that without rooting

Clock changes color depending on the time : white = day, black = night.
If you want to keep only one color you will have to flash some mod

thanks guys for the response. I figured as much. i'm guessing that the phone considers night as when it's still dark outside and day as when there's still light from the sun?

Not sure, but I believe it's set on the time of sunset/sunrise from your identified location

Copy that. I guess the best way to find out is to observe it. Thanks again.
If there's a way to put a widget on the lock screen than you don't have to root your phone, you just have to configure widget so it's always black/white, depends on what do you want.

Ok, so the home screen clock widget just changed from the white background to the black background this happened 6pm my local time. So it looks like the colors change at 6pm/6am.

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 =)

anybody willing to take this clock widget

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

Ya man no problem. I'll do a semi transparent background with a slight blue gradient and ICS hands.
Done I liked it a lot, so i also made one that matches my theme.

I added that version to the post with the other clocks. I put it at the bottom of the screen to demonstrate transparency.
Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color
Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.
Thanx

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.
Thanks so much man for the reply! Here's the link. I hate white on the black and blue ics theme. If this XML code is easy to find, I wouldn't kill you of you made the red and white on the popcorn blue and black

Also your sig is beautiful. Do you have different color themes?

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.
Yes that massive big blue thing

I'll remove it and sexify the bg instead. Should be done in 2 min.

Which wallpaper brings the best battery life due to low display usage. Does black wallpaper help our phone? Also, is there a way to disable wallpapers and just have a black one by default in jellybean? Thanks.
yes the black one will help and yes there is a default option for 'no wallpaper' in JB(CM10)....
The lighter the color more battery. I usually use darker blues or Black's. Currently using this one. You can get all black ones but it looks weird haha. Stay away from white wallpapers or yellow if you want maximum battery

Can you tell me how to set "no wallpaper?" i've looked in settings but couldn't find it.
Only in cm10. I believe.. or just look up blank black wallpaper or something

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"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouchphone
It works wonders. ..
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.

Want to share you creation after? I love that blue color and have been trying to think of ideas for theming some more stuff but I'm still learning
I have always liked this blue playstore!

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.
