Do you want to make your own color themes? Are you intimidated by the long list of slots and their scary names? Well it’s about to get a whole lot easier!
I have put together a color theme (linked at the end) which highlights each UI element in a distinct color. As a supplement to the official docs, importing this theme will let you visually ID which slot almost any UI element is taking its color from.
Upon successful import, you’ll be greeted by this monstrosity:
Make sure to DISABLE the “Now playing color source” option, since it overrides the theme’s colors.
I did my best to keep text as legible as possible, but there are a few spots that may be hard to see. Both Light & Dark theme are set to the same colors, but some elements (like Status Bar text color) are still changed by your device. Here’s how it looks on the “Classic navigation” preset:
Navigate to any screen, note what color an item is, then go back to the Theme settings and tap on “Selected theme colors”. You should be able to easily find which slot’s color is being used. If you need more confirmation, note the following:
This theme does NOT use white (#FFFFFF) or black (#000000). Anything you see in those colors is likely being set by your device’s settings and cannot be changed by this app.
So to confirm that you’ve got the right slot: edit this theme, change the likely culprit to WHITE or BLACK and then navigate back to the UI element to see if it changed.
Now that you know what slot you want to change, you can swap back to your real theme and set the color you want! Happy themeing!
