It's ok bud i just didn't quite understand it. Did you mean you want the background grey instead of white? I'll upload the current changes now, i have done all 3 roms MNML themes to look like the above screenshot.

ya exactly... I just thought that the white background is a bit too glaring... a grey bg wouldn't be a good fit in a MNML theme, but it would be easier on the eyes... and also a grey bg is good for both white/black text...

I suppose but i honestly think it looks ok on screen. Try it out we will see how it goes for people.

MNML now uploaded for all three roms. All text should be visible.

something got messed up with the MCR MNML theme! it looks like the stock theme now... this is what I have... and sorry but the white is too white... I really think grey would be better suited... can we? please?

Just noticed that my GPS icon in the notification bar is gone. Is this a known issue with these themes(I'm using the Gingerbread Circular for JJ)? Any way of getting it back? It's quite useful since I usually drain my batteries on the gps otherwise.

GPS icon disappears if nothing is using GPS. If something uses GPS it comes back.

Big Change.

I have changed ALL themes that have dark notification background to white or grey backgrounds. This is so NO text is hidden/blended in. This means i have removed the modified Music.apk and DownloadProvider.apk so the files are smaller. Some of you may think it doesn't look as nice as dark backgrounds but this is the only way for now to have fully visible texts. If you have flashed a theme with modified Music.apk and DownloadProvider.apk you can download the stock files for your rom from here! Please take the correct version.

I have fixed the "Clear" button text in Galaxy S theme.

Fixed an icon in reboot menu for some GenerationX variants.

Fixed a lockscreen icon on Elegant Steel theme.

Out of 48 files i have today personally tested around 25 across three roms. I didn't spot any mistakes but please...let me know if you spot anything odd.

I noticed that know, that there is a grey icon when I'm using an app that uses the GPS. But doesn't the gps still draw power when it's turned on in the phone?
Before, there was a gps icon whenever it was turned on in the phone. Now it just appears when certain programs uses the gps. And wouldn't the gps still be on if I'm using an app that uses gps, but runs in the background?

Is there a variation with a more obvious/colourful GPS indicator for Gingerbread themes? The grey circle GPS is the only thing I find disappointing about these Gingerbread themes. It's hard to see. I also agree with the poster above me that it would be good if it showed that GPS is active even if there is no application currently using it. Can Android do that?

Ask and ye shall receive...

Check two threads down: Change GPS icon? *Success!

You can see that GPS is on with the power widget, there's also lots of apps in the market that will provide an icon to show/toggle its status.

What recovery are you using?

@Comforter That theme is there it is just GenX with nothing else in the name.

I think 2.5.1.8; I hesitate to upgrade to 3.0.0.5 since I'm not sure whether or not I need the legacy update method, I'm sure I don't need the EXT4 support it brings, and the slower reported load times for recovery with 3.x versions pushes me towards compatibility over cutting edge.

NB though, I'm not certain; it says 2.2.1 Jesusfreak edition, but the mdasum matches that of the 2.5.1.8 file posted in the stickies, so I figured that probably referred to something else....

Sweet!

But that doesn't change that the gps icon isn't visible when it's on, only when an application uses it? Is that a Froyo-related issuse and has nothing to do with this theme? Cause I don't think the icon of this theme is that bad, just that it's not functioning when the gps is on.
Loving the theme and will probably keep it anyway. Not that keen on using an additional widget, my first homescreen is full =)
