I am using a white wallpaper, so it would be nice to be able to change the color.
Thanks

You can combine different stock themes. To change the color jusp pick a widget from another theme

Hi, I use ASUS Zenfone Max,
I hope we have same tailored apps, if yes,
The "Zenui Theme" app - system installed - that helps you change the lockscreen, homescreen, notif screen, while doing that bottom right there's "widget colour" - you can select the widget colour you want.

not sure what you mean exactly.
But have you tried different homes? Like Nova Launcher, Apex etc?

He means the grid layout on the home screen 5 rows by 7. I'm using Viper Rom and it allows you to adjust how many rows you want. :good:

Hmm I am not convinced. You are talking about Venom rom right? Can you please enlighten me about where exactly is the option for adjusting grid size on the home screen? Its possible to change the app drawer grid size but i havent found the option for homescreen.

Very true my mistake there it is a tweak for increasing app draw grid. Thank you madik for spotting my mistake, I believe it is possible using apex or nova launcher.

Ok that's what I meant BUT I would like to do it on the sense launcher, does the app you mentioned can do that on a sense Rom?

This has not much to do with the ROM. It is a feature for a launcher. In your case the Sense. If you want to change this, you should search for Sense changes.
(I don't know how to change grid lines/size in Sense... I try to avoid Sense)

i get where changing the grid size has more to do with the launcher than the rom, but i was trying to do the same thing. the problem is that when i use a different launcher, i lose the icon pack and some of the other features of the Viper ROM like the extended app drawer, etc. Is there a launcher that will allow you to keep the icon settings and still change the grid size on the home screen panels?

[MOD][THEME][22 May]PA Colors Preset for Hybrid Properties[PA3.56]

Hello community,
essentially PA COLORS is a .xml file that contains definitions for apps and its colors for navigation bar, -buttons, -glow, status bar and -icon. It can be applied within HYBRID PROPERTIES and colors every app defined.
The original one includes just a few apps. My interpretation of PA COLORS includes every system app of PA Rom, PA Gapps and some of the most common user apps.
The colors are picked precisely from apps or their icons by taking screenshots and catching hexcodes with a colorpicker on PC. My goal was to make a preset that works for all the different UIs + PIE! And it does :good:
So, if you are new to PA, you need some inspiration either what’s possible or not or you're just to lazy coloring apps on your own feel free to try my interpretation of PA COLORS. Let's start...
HowTo:
1) backup your PA preferences in hybrid properties
2) backup your existing 0_colors.xml in system/etc/paranoid/preferences by renaming it to 0_colors.xml.bak (use your favorite root explorer)
3) extract and copy my 0_colors.xml in the folder mentioned above
4) set permissions to rw-,r--,r--
5) apply (new) PA COLORS in Hybrid Props
6) reboot
Themed Apps:
see screenshots down below
Notes:
- settings for „size/layout“ and „extra“ don't get changed by PA Colors
- only colors of defined apps are getting changed the rest of your apps will stay as you set them
- some apps pick up colors from their host apk. e.g. phone/contacts or maps/local/navigation will always look the same
- play music gets the colors from android system (just to mention)
- you don’t like my colors: restore your pa prefs or delete/edit the corresponding lines in 0_colors.xml (use notepad++)
IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IT,YOU CAN HIT THANKS :good:
regards
O
[size=+1]Due to the lastet style changes on PIE that comes with the build of May 26th my color preset doesn't work as intended if you use PIE! There is no individual color for the navbuttons of PIE! Now it is linked to the one of status icon color which is a mess IMHO![/size]
Great work thanks!!!

Glad you like it.
Will see where this thing will go. Depends on the community if I may ask which apps should be added?!If I do a poll for that?! Or if I just keep it up to date when apps getting updated and add the ones I like.
I'm open for suggestions.
Really loving it. This speed up the customize of the color... Only one question what do you use for setting well the color I used to screen shot the app and with an app catch the color in the screen, there's something to speed up the process? It's really annoying that pa doesn't have a hex color catcher in the pop-up... Maybe can be implemented later...

I took screenshots and used colorpicker on my lappy. IMO it is way more accurate than using an color picker app (and my big thumb). And yes, it took me a while 
 @parker09: yeah, u're right. Chrome should be added. In the meantime I can provide the hexcodes the way I would set the colors for chrome when I'm at home.

Had a look into it. It can't work due to the fact he messed up the file:
<setting type="Hybrid" target="com.google.android.keep.colors" value="FF585A5B|FFBBE535|FF75DDBB|FF585A5B|FFFFBB22"/>
<setting type="Hybrid" target="com.android.launcher.colors=4A000000|B2FFFFFF|FFFFFFFF|4A000000|FF33B5E5"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
He simply forgot to set up the values correctly. First line for 'Keep' is how it should look like the second misses the correct phrase " value=".
So, if you have time, add the correct phrases or use mine and add his colors for the additional apps.
regards
I guess,I found a nice one for android system fitting play music
Used colors are the 3 at the top 3
Maybe switch status bar and status icon colors when not using pie..
Does anyone know which apps are effected by android system?

android system should coloring every app thats not set with own values + lockscreen and app drawer. That's why I decided to leave it on default. Reboot is needed for the last two ones to get applied.
Ahh, that's why I didn't see another change..
I'll wait and decide
Have colored chrome too, if anyone wants the colors just ask.
It fits the colors of the icon -I just like that better than the boring greys
I won't clutter your thread anymore, sorry

Oh yes i didn't read the name of the uploaded and I thought you were the same person, yes, is your color fixed, I like so much your style really near to my old custom color... For me chrome color should be like the color of the app white and grey... I don't like the color posted by the user, too much color... I like color in app but not too much and must be similar to the ui of the app only sharing my thoughts...
Edit: what do you think about this color, guys?

Maybe we could organize a bit to not have multiple work.
Like making an extendable list of apps and people who use them choose nice colors (it would only be important that it has a consistent look)
If one likes an app more colorful or not, he can change it manually (like in the chrome case)

[Q] Zooper help

Hello you helpful lot here at XDA
I have just started using Zooper widget pro but i have no idea how to use apart from adding existing templates from the play store. My question is how can I create sections to split up the wallpaper i am using.
For example the attached picture has an ocean wallpaper with what looks like a black overlaying box created in Zooper at the bottom half of the screen.
I would really like it if someone could tell me how to create those said "boxes" to break up my custom homescreen
Thank you in advance and i apologise for being a Zooper Noob

Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of Zooper :victory:
You have two possibilities to achieve this: you can either set the widget background to a color of your choosing and then resize the widget to cover the whole screen or if you want to have only parts of your widgets with a background you should add a Rect module and resize/position/configure it to your needs.
I hope this answers you question and if not, please don't hesitate to keep asking

For that you would have to use a custom launcher that supports widget overlaying. Popular ones like Nova or Apex have that option in their settings. After you activated that option, you should be able to resize or place another widget over the Zooper widget.
Though since Zooper has at least the same functionality as UCCW, why not try to recreate the widget directly in Zooper?

[Q]Edit lockscreen ?

do what I can remove the clock, date and other things on the default lockscreen Huawei ?
Hey not its not possible. You can just edit your login mode like pin or pattern and so on..
But you could use GoLocker or any other Lockers from the Play Store. Then you can edit your lockscreen. For more Info just PM me
