Okay I see it now..I was never looking in the right spot...those are definitely white on mine..I'll fix it when I get home
thanks a lot, will look into it tomorrow morning, i'm off to bed now,

since you are into mms theming, i still have another issue, i am blind on locating the right line in terms of editing, i accidentally changed the font color of hyperlinked text in mms, and now it is the same as the sent bubble whenever hyperlinked words was typed,

Hey guys I wanted to share this flashable mms.apk zip I made that's inverted and fully transparent that's theme chooser ready so you can pick certain colors for subject, name, date..etc. It also has bubble images you can theme or change to your liking as well as the background is an image to theme or you can use a color code to change to keep it solid. It's working rather well with all my themes so if you wanna try it just decompile it and add the styles.xml, color.xml and images to your theme and link it on your thread. It also has the typo fixed on the received layout xml that has received misspelled...

Screenshots:



If you see anything needed that will make it better just pm me and I'll fix it up..this is from CM10 but works on mostly all aosp roms so far. I'll be submitting the fixes and additional lines for the font colors once I get some more sleep so hopefully we will only need to have it for the bubbles as an option.

Hope you like it!

Yes because it's needing to be fixed up better. I think that typo and lack of some layout edits is the reason it hasn't been merged yet...hopefully with these fixes it will get merged. I'm not submitting the transparency though..Just the layout issues.

Oh I thought it was because of quick reply..I haven't noticed anything missing but I'll check yours later.

My trans MMS that I include in Mixer seems to work fine with aokp MMS which has it merged.

Well I'm not sure about the quick message but I got it to theme now as well. I noticed the typo and the lack of specific fonts are using the same color code. Like hyper links, send and received time date stamp. The message list also uses the same for name, subject and time. I think if it's polished up they will finally merge it. Most of the other roms have already but you know how picky cyanogen is so I think this will help.

No issues here, as long as they use this mms it works with the stock and inverted one I made. Oh but the typo must stay in your theme..Just keep them both..received and recieved color codes.

hello guys, did you ever noticed a bug like this:

with my theme activated, it´s not possible to change the order of the toggles in the notification.

any ideas about that?
Seems to be that toggle layout isnt proper. can be if u change it in its xml or maybe toggle image sizes are not proper or uneven.

Check you image sizes for the toggles. But I'm not seeing that on CM10 or AOKP.

What's the min/target android version in your manifest? maybe try increasing those if they're low. That's the only thing I can think of. I mentioned the issue to joshuas79 when he was doing his chocolate theme, that did the same.
