Creating your own Xperia Theme?!

TomKay — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 14:39:15 GMT

Can the Theme Creator tool from 2010 still be used to create a theme for the Z1 compact?

I'd like a dark scheme, but none of the canned ones are perfect.

I wonder why there isn't an app that allows you to choose a background colour, a default/font colour, an accent colour, and perhaps another highlight colour or whatever may be needed.

This would allow a huge degree of customisation with very little effort.

It is great that one can exchange icons, etc. by developting a full theme but I reckon just being able to tweak a small number of fundamental colours would be totally sufficient for many users.

You are on about the white background I take it which is a Google change from Ginger Bread days when it was dark, So the only way I know of is to use a custom launcher or a custom rom as I don't think that theme maker will work on the new KK firmware

Yes, I'd prefer a dark background for the clock alarm settings, for instance.

It puzzles me as to why such a preference sends one down a road of rooting and custom ROMs.
