I AM asking for a friend who just purchased an 8" Fire HD Tablet.
They bought the table to use Overdrive to access book from their local library. At one time , they changed the default white background / black txt to the other way round. I managed to restore the Overdrive app to the preferred white background , however , and I'm not sure if this happened at the same time or not , the background on the email app is now black , with white txt and the icons displayed on the Home Screen are now ' dark ". It APPEARS there's a ' dark ' theme applied , or setting to choose between some sort of Night and Day mode activated , that I can't seem to find ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We'd like to set the email / Silk background back to the default white with black txt.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Just got my today screen all setup with a black setup (top and bottom bars as well), but for some reason the messaging window (outlook or texting) is full of a bunch of horizontal black and white bars unless the item is highlighted.
Anyone know whats up?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
sounds like a setting on the theme generator you use. lines are probably the same on the notes menu also.
there seems to be two colours used on the messaging/notes menu, full of horizontal lines. you should be able to change them on your theme generator, i could when i had the same problem after creting a theme.
change both settings (usually notes/ msg colour 1/ to the same colour, this will sort it.
Have a good look through the wiki, almost all colours are detailed there, or use a better theme editor.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the wiki?
What theme editor do you guys recommend?
Changing 36 to 37 fixed the CONTACTS background but not the Notes/Messaging
Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done
I'm using the HTC_black theme. IN SBP mobile shell, in TF3D it's looks black as it should, but the today screen has green background.
I am with the original ROM (1.19), and it's annoying, I just want it BLACK.
An ideas how to black that today screen background?
Amir.
In SPB Mobile shell go to settings -> Themes and select "Use a based color theme". Then select the black color
The thing is that I wish to use the black theme on the today screen, SPB mobile shell was just an example.
Still can't get simple black color on my today screen.
HTC Black
Go to Start then setting then click on today. Hope you will see there HTC Black & Windows default. If so select HTC Black press ok and you r done. If HTC Black not avialable you have to search for it.
The point is that the htc black is not black but blue_green. To see it you need to deactivate touchflo 3d.
I would like too a black background.
Exactly!
The theme I currently use is HTC-Black.
On the HTC Diamond when TF3D was disabled, I got simple black today screen. Using the same method even the same file, bringing to different results on the Touch HD.
I even created a simple jpg file using MS Paint, which contains pure & simple black rectangle. Even that doesn't looks black but light Grey.
TF3D does looks completely black, so it's not the screen but some dumb setting somewhere.
Any ideas?
it seems (but i'm guessing) that this issue has something to do with background transparency ? i mean it's like the background picture was "blended" with a totally white layer...
Its the highlighted items that are in green even if you select HTC black.
Try it, open a menu and the send sms or mms will be in green.
Terrible!
Well it's something with the Orange UK (the origin of my device) configuration.
I just installed new ROM, and the problem was gone (others just drop in.... but that's another story )
Amir.
A little off-topic, but can someone post that HTC_Black.tsk file? I recently flashed a new ROM and no longer have it.
I am using a ROM which I mostly like (Elegancia) but on the email tab, the preview layout style is set so that the header section background is dark black while the body section is white. This makes reading the sender name and subject very difficult since the text is dark grey or blue against black.
Is there any way or utility to change the style of this email preview tab, so that the header section background is also white like the body, as I've seen in other ROMs (like Energy) ? Or alternatively, any way to set the style back to the HTC default of just regular text against the wallpaper background, with no little rectangle?
Can either of these things be done either with a configuration utility or through the resigtry, without having to change ROMs?
Please help, thanks...!
Hi,
A few weeks ago I've started to get white text over white background in the chome's search bar. I've left it that way since search sentences are short. But today it started to happen in whatsapp (after a whatsapp update)
I use dark/black themes. I've tried to apply different themes, even downloaded a new ones, but it happens the same. It seems new themes doesn't apply to the chat window. After a first change (and reboot) the dark backgroud of the chat window was gone (the dark background of the conversation list is dark), and no matter what theme is chosen, no dark background is applied. With some themes I see "normal" colored background (with white letters over white background) and with others I see also the "normal" background but with dark letters.
I don't know if it's importat, but a while ago I noticed my phone wasn't rooted anymore. I left it that way since I'm not needing rooting much.
