Hi there,
i coded a small watchface for the SWR50, all is working as expected but the background image: i tried to use a 24-bit PNG image resource with
a gradient from dark gray to black, which shows a lot of color bandings. Same effect when using the Paint object to draw manually a gradient with these colors.
Have tried to setup the Painter with paint.setAntialias(true) with no luck and extracted the image resource via ((BitmapDrawable)getResources().getDrawable(int)).getBitmap()
also with no luck when tried to load the image resource with the static Bitmap.decodeResource(...) with ImageFormat set to ARGB_8888?!
Is there any solution to fix this annying bandings?
its a 16bit screen?

Hello - I am using the Kavana 6.1 ROM with the default sliding screen. I would like to use a photo collage for my background image, however the screen fonts are too white and bright for it. I have adjusted the image as much as I can to still be viewable and it helps a little.
I would like to know if there is anyway to change the color of the display fonts on the home screen - e.g. change the clock and other text to a darker color or have them outlined in shadow so they stand out against my background.
Thank you.

you can change font color in the scheme.xml files using hex color codes. As for as i know, you can't add a shadow though. the scheme file will change the font color for the whole homescreen, not indivivual text, so you have to choose a color for all text on there.
If you search, you can also find some apps( for phone and for pc) that will change the font color for you plus all the other colors you want to change.
thank you very much.

HI,
I like the default home screen that comes with the Cavalier (sorry). However, I changed the background image and the fonts do not show very well. I would like to change the font color and the highlight font color. I need the font color in white and the highlighted font in blue (not dark blue).
I'm not familiar with the .xml programming; however, if anyone can help me to change these two parameters on the HTC.Home.xml, I would be really happy.
Is it possible to do these changes? Will I need a special Editor for changing the code? or could it be done with a common application?
Regards,
REY

change the background image in picture and video and adjust the transparency so that u can see the font
I have searched and found a lot of threads about this but haven't found anyone posting a easy way to change the TF3D font color and especially the today screen which seems to be different than the other tab screens.
I now have AnX1 Nature's Grace v1.0 theme which gives a white font but I would like to use a light colored background from Rotastrain's panoramic background thread, so I would have to change to black font in order for everything to be readable. Anyone has any ideas?
Can someone explain to me how Fade and Gradient fill styles are meant to work please? As far as I can see, neither produces results I would expect.
For example, open up the advanced parameters on a progress bar and specify the "fill mode other color" as, say, white. Then try changing the colour under the fill mode or the foreground colour - no change to the widget colour.
With Gradient fill, all I want to do is go from opaque white to transparent white but Zooper decides to get there it needs to go through yellow!
I'm either not understanding how the UI is meant to work here or these options are really busted. Anyone able to offer any help?
Example of the gradient problem is attached.

Yeah damn things been like this for a while. Shows some yellowish color for me usually. Mess with the foreground/background colors and it'll work right. Just have to F with it.
HSV gradient instead of a RGB gradient ?
I have the same issue and then googled a little. After reading these two pages "perbang.dk/rgbgradient" and "bensouthgate.com/p/12_3_13.php" (I can not post link now), I think the gradient is based on HSV and not RGB; the later seems however be more intuitive and correspond to what I imagine for a gradient from white to another color.
I don't think we can code a RGB gradient from the Advanced Parameter because some functions are currently missing.
If anyone has an idea...
Hi everyone !
I wondering if it is possible with some tricks or Painting mode to change the color of a bitmap ?
Imagine a transparent whitecolor png that I want to display red ... (or changing is color depending a variable ... )
I want to make a theme and change easily is main color (included his icons ... )
Thanks for you response,
Regards,
Ok so for now I created inverted icons ...
I create a big colorfull rectangle with my inverted icon on top and XOR painting mode ...
But maybe the paint mode introduced can do a better job ? I noticed a monochrome filter ... why not use this mode and add a advanced paramter in order to specifiy the color ?
