Title: Something Annoying Me With Android
Post by: Malphas on Tue, 11 December 2012, 14:49:18

So I recently upgraded from Gingerbread to JellyBean (CM10) and the font for the status bar text (and also the dialer I think) is changed to a neon blue and I can't find any option to change it. Anyone know how to do this? Yes, I googled, but the results weren't useful and my search terms most likely weren't precise enough because there's probably some more specific terms for this that I'm not aware of.

I'm talking about the clock and icons in the top right corner:

Most roms are de-odexed so that you can theme them... Not sure how to theme them off hand since I like the JB colors. You may be able to use CM's Theme Manager to install a new theme... or find a differently themed ROM out of the box.

I thought there was a Theme Manager built into CM10, accessed through I think the Settings, and then the specific CM Settings section. Or possibly there's a separate Theme Manager app installed by default with CM10. I've been off of Android for awhile, so I'm not sure exactly where it is, but there were a few other built in colors for you to choose.

Using CM10 recent nightly and there is a theme chooser built into the interface section of the settings. Not sure where to get themes but the option is there

Search the market for cm10 themes. There's plenty.

I'm not using the CM10 launcher if that makes any difference to using themes. Also a theme seems kind of overkill anyway, all I want to do is change the colour from blue to white for those few icons/text in the statusbar and the dialler digits.

Launcher doesn't matter. There's no real easy way to just change those icons, but changing the theme is the easiest way. Just download it, apply it in theme manager, reboot, and your all set. You honestly can't get easier than that.

I recommend Holo Launcher HD just for the record.

I'm not a fan of Holo, it's a bit too basic and rough round the edges for me.

I'd rather puncture my scrotum with a pen.
