View 2 RepliesI just unlocked/rooted/installed Cyanogen on my Motorola Atrix. I'm looking for a theme that will make menus black-on-white instead of the default white-on-black. The closest that I've found is the JAMT White theme, but the settings screen is still all white-on-black, even in the paid version.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a basic AlertDialog using an activity with a theme of Theme.Dialog.What I want is for there to be a horizontal bar between the title and the message. However, the bar is not being resized correctly. Rather than being the width of the activity, the bar is the width of the message text. This means that if the activity is being expanded by the message, then the bar will fill the whole activity, so it looks correct. However, if the message width is less than the activity width, the bar only displays above the part of the activity with the text. I've tried every single combination of "fill_parent" and "wrap_content" that I can think of, and none of those work.I've also tried using RelativeLayout and placing the bar above the message text, but that also doesn't work. If I use the RelativeLayout approach and set the bar to fill_parent, it causes the activity to expand to fill the whole screen width, which is also undesirable. Ideally, I want the text placed, the activity width computed, and the bar resized to that width (without affecting it). Is there some way to flag a view to fill the parent view but not to affect its size?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use themes in my apps, which generally just extend android:Theme and then set a bunch of styles. I use dialogs made from layouts, but since I set the theme for the application, they have inherited all of the regular styles and no longer carry a border, etc. My question is: How do I say, "I want everything to use this theme which extends Theme, except dialogs, which should use this other theme that extends Theme.Dialog"? It seems like that's how things work by default but when you set the theme to your own, you lose the dialog theme!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've extended Theme.Dialog to use a different color as per the sample in the ApiDemos project but for some reason it does not use the theme properly in my project. I created a new project and it works perfectly fine there. The main problem here is that it does not show as floating in my project. Instead, it sets the rest of the screen black except for what would be the dialog window, where it uses the correct colors, etc. Any ideas? I am beating my head against the wall here.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a CM9 theme, which changes original ICS blue elements to white, without changins icons and other things(much like this, this, this or this one)?
I'm using Samsung Galaxy S II with latest CM9 official nightling.
I want to have a "change theme" feature in ma app. If I call setTheme() in onCreate(), there is one problem.
The moment after I launch my app, a plain white background appears for a second (because I have set light theme in the manifest). After that, the complete layout of my Activity is displayed - it is either with white or black background, according to user's theme preference.
Is there any way I can change whether white or black background appears after launch?
CM10.1 or AOKP theme where the only thing that changes from stock is that the status bar icons, specifically signal, battery and wifi are white instead of Holo blue? Either that or a theme that replaces the status bar with MIUI bar icons but maintains the rest of the UI would be great as well. I tried one called HoloWhite, as well as a couple other minimalistic ones, but with those some of the icon styles changed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following code:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke android:width="1dp"/>
<size android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFF"/>
</shape>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background ="@drawable/line"/>
Why the line is black instead white? I have tried putting it inside a ImageView but the result is the same.
How can i set the opacity of the shape?
I have the beautiful weather widget on my home screen with the clock... Now I want the clock color to go from white to black, but for some reason it stays white even when I change font color to black in the appearance panel. I don't want to change skins as I like this particular clock.. Anyway to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a custom list view and I want the background of the list to be white, so I do something like this which works great.
CODE:............
The problem is when you scroll the list the background of all the list items changes to black, which looks horrible.
I tried in my list view setting the background color to white. When I inflate the view I also tried setting the background color to white:
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
Both of these fix the problem of the scrolling background color, but now the item doesn't appear to be clickable even though it is. What I mean by that is the onClick still works fine, but the background doesn't flash to orange to let the user know he clicked it.
How can I have a white background in a list view, that stays white while scrolling, and does the normal list acitvity orange click background?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm changing the theme of an activity in onCreate using setTheme (I'm doing that even before calling super.onCreate(), as this is supposed to be more reliable).It does work in the sense that it changes the background and foreground colors. However, my layout has a few elements that use styles like textAppearanceLarge. Now Android's textAppearanceLarge internally uses the textPrimaryColor - which is still unchanged by my theme.I tried to override the primary text color in my theme, but that doesn't seem to work.
