I love the default black HTC theme but it gives me one big problem. The toolbars for some applications display very badly in this theme. If the application uses dark icons on its toolbar then you almost get a black-on-black toolbar (the www.memory-map.co.uk mapping software is an example as is the Pocket A-Z (http://www.a-zmaps.co.uk/?nid=95) that can be downloaded from handango). Some applications however (like the Mobile Microsoft Office apps) seem to override the theme and use a grey background for their toolbars so they are readable.
I have confirmed that this is a problem with the theme because I tried switching to the default WM theme (the one below the HTC theme in the list) and then the mapping software shows a perfectly readable toolbar with dark icons against grey background.
Are there any tweaks or third party applications that can make an application pick up a different background for it's toolbars? Is there some toolbar-background property in a theme that can be individually treaked to be grey while still leaving the taskkar and soft key bar unchanged (i.e. black-ish)? Failing this, does anyone have any other ideas (apart from the obvious one of forsaking my preferred theme and switching permanently to the blue one)?
