OK I understand your preferences just please consider other version for those who are bothered by this smearing issue...because my little edited screenshot really reduced it and thats really minor updates...so just consider ;) I will do it by myself if I can unzip edit and zip it back, but as we talked before I had troubles with editing your zip...

Refered to different colours of arrows, I ment arrows which appeared on the left (not on the right near wifi/mobile network signal strenght) in the notification bar right after you download/send something...but I just realised they are for sme purpose, because when one apk crashed red triangle with text appeared so its nice I can live with it. As for notifications I ment some system notifications in the frame in front of current screen in lower part of the screen, e.g. when you do screenshot it notify you "Copied to clipboard"...so personaly I prefer whitelight grey text instead current blue...but its not an issue
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I can do for sure a 'private' mod for you. :)

But then first I've got to understand what you're asking for. From your screenshot there seems to be the only difference to my theme the missing background for subtitles (Network connections / Connect and share). Whereas in your text you're saying "removed grey lines and grey parts in switches" which are still there in the screenshot. So what would be the right solution to overcome 'smearing'?

The text in the lower part of the screen which you mentioned is called 'Toast'. That would be easy to adopt (blue to light grey as stock) once I'll compile a 'private' mod.

Cheers

I'm running Omega 5 on my AT&T variant. I want to pull only the themed messaging.apk. I don't want it to change the stock icon or anything, I just like the themed bubbles. Is this possible, and will it screw anything up?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
Shouldn't be a problem. Just take the zip from v1.2 and delete anything from it apart from SecMms.apk. And within the zip in SecMms.apk delete 'resources.arsc'. This would leave only the changed bubbles in the zip. Then you can flash it in recovery.

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kultus:
Thats great to read about...the best explanation is to do screenshot in the same screen than I did and put them together, so you will see the difference in a second ;) i will post it in the evening. I hope I will have time to realise why I just cannot easily edit your zip archives and change what I want to do not bother you with personal preferences ;) maybe its only my winRAR I use all the time but still i can suggest something after that...it seems like now its almost perfect theme ;)

edit: here I uploaded default theme screenshots... find two differences :D if you want to see well smearing efect, in dark room or at night turn down S4 display brightness to minimum and watch in your favourite picture viewer difference between the two screenshots I posted, while scrolling up and down you can clearly see on your default that grey bars and darker grey part of switch (on the right half of the switch) turn into purple efect...on the other hand, on my edited theme this smearing efect is due to lack of darker grey parts in the image almost gone...screenshots are because of XDA smaller so you have to zoom a littlebit on your S4 and move quickly up and down to see the difference...dont look at quality of pictures just focus on moving grey parts of image...

Calendar Problem

Hi! Awesome theme but am having one small problem.

When I'm in S-Planner month view. When I have the air view enabled and am hovering over a certain date. The background is white, and the font is white as well. I think the background is supposed to be black so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Thanks and hope that there will be a fix for it!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
At least I can reproduce the issue. Unfortunately I can't promise a fast solution as I would need a screenshot from this state first to find out the elements used. And currently I simply fail in taking one. May be you've got more luck ... ;)

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I guess I've figured out now. Although I still don't see a reason to go into a dark room turning down brightness of the display just to experience an effect which I would never see in normal conditions ... ;)

Attached I've provided y small patch which hopefully will solve the issue. But it's not tested as I never walk into dark rooms without light. :) :)

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kultus:
LOL its observable under normal conditions but especialy at night or rooms with low light i can see it the most because display is at minimum brightness. I work with my phone in such a conditions for about 50% time of day so...its absolutely clear smearing efect and without any disscusionin I can see purple tint on grey parts of display during scrolling in conditions I recommended you to apply to see what I mean. Its the same situation e.g. I want you to look at some awesome photos, so I will not send you to direct sunlight right? I will rather recomend you to go inside to see photos and enjoy them. But ofcourse you will see them in direct sunlight too, but thats the difference ;) for your imagination thx for patch i will try it when i will have some more spare time...just returned from business trip..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
Seems I could solve it. Although it's not perfect it corrects the main issue. May be you can test it (see attached) and provide feedback. I don't use Airview myself so I would never have stumbled upon this. Thanks for pointing me on it!

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kultus:
looks amazing now I like the theme even more without grey things... settings are more clear now. check it ;) many thanks. maybe you can do some second version for others too, ask them if are they interested... :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
That's for sure a good suggestion! I'll have the 'De-Smeared' mod moved into my 'Mini Mods' section once I'll update them the next time.

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kultus:
OK then I can experiment with text colour, as you could see text is disappearing during scrolling as well as thin lines...so maybe some colours will be more suitable for system text than others...

EDIT: I found two little "bugs"... first is some line offset from switch with some white or very light grey dot, the second is more less sugestion to remove two dark grey lines in switch, only cosmetic editing ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] cocaino:
Hay after i instal i lost my status bar... some one help me...?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
Which ROM you're on?

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I guess due to the resolution of S 4 and the resulting 'thin' characters there will always be briefly disappearing text while scrolling. The only way to overcome this would be to choose a 'fatter' font.

For the graphics you're right, the vertical line is a separator, can easily be deleted. For the frame around the switches is might be a bit more complicated. But I'll look into it.

Cheers and many thanks for the valuable feedback!

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] whf1:
Awesome! The original problem with the air view hover has been fixed. I found another issue with the same problem with the white on white in the s planner. This time is when I go to make a new entry and choose the calendar I want to attach it in. Wondering if a quick fix can be done. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I was always afraid that sooner or later someone would stumble across this ...

The unsatisfying answer is, no, there's no easy solution in sight. For the pop-up S-Planner calls a routine defined somewhere outside S-Planner in framework-res. If I would change it there it would lead to a hell of problems all around the stock apps. As the problem doesn't occur once you create a new entry via + button on top of the app currently that's the only workaround.

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
Surprisingly I found a rather easy way; although it's not perfect it does its job. It's included in new version 1.3 of 'Discreet Blue'.

Cheers

love the theme, gt9500 version plz_ :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I'm sorry, i9500 is not available in my country, no chance to test it. But in several postings, e.g. #204, it's reported that 'Discreet Blue' runs fine on i9500.

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ApriliaM3:
Yes the theme works fine on GT-i9500 version... However the link for v1.31 is broken mate.

Also, in the Planner using the Month view, is it possible to change the font color of appointments to be black?

Currently the font is white on light blue background and it's very hard to read.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
You're totally right, it's definitely hard to read. Unfortunately although I've tried a lot I haven't yet found a suitable workaround. Neither have I found where the light blue is defined, changing it into dark blue would improve already, nor can I easily change the text color. This is because S-Planner uses the same definition for allday events as well as for 'standard' appointments. As the latter are displayed on black background I'm trapped little bit ...

For the link to v1.31 I'll look after it at night, I can't access Dropbox from the office.

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
Strange. That's how it looks here (XXUBMGA with Discreet Blue 1.41). And there's no theming of stock mail app (SecEmail_J) in Discreet Blue v1.4 at all.

Cheers

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] darylchin:
Mmm.....was it becoz I flashed on top of Vertumus 1.4 dark holo theme? I'm having Vertumus dark 1.4 theme b4 flashing yours.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
That's for sure possible. Given Vertumus has themed stock mail, what I don't know, then his theme for the app would remain. And that may interfere with my theme. In this case the easiest way would be to reflash stock mail app.

Hello,

Very nice theme. I want to flash it, but have 1 question:

Does it interfere with xposed-modules, which handle status bar transparency, blocking mode icon removal and similar?

Thanks in advance

P.S.: nice regards to Munich. I lived there for 10yrs.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
I simply don't know. I don't use any of these mods so I don't have any experience with them. You either need to wait for other answers or try it yourself, after Nandroid backup before. ;)

Thanks for your prompt response Toscha.

But I still get a 404 error from Dropbox for the file. It's the V1.4 contacts mini mod.

On installing the theme. Are you able to install all the files (V1.4, V1.44 then 3 mini mods) in one hit or should I restart the device each time? Used to just installing one zip at a time.

Thanks for your efforts on this, it's greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] body150165:
Hi Toscha,

I have been a bit slow to install your theme, mainly because of the lack of an "rollback option". As far as I can see, the only rollback option is to make a full Nandroid backup.

So, I checked the starting post and found that you customized the following parts:

framework-res

SystemUI

Settings

Contacts

Dialer

File Manager

Alarm Clock

SMS / MMS

Calculator

Calendar

My target is, to backup only the customized parts/files, so that I can rollback using Titanium Backup and/or a file explorer.

Am I right to assume that it is possible? If so, could you please make a list of the exact files/folders affected?

I checked the thread history but didn't find it.

"Maybe" a rollback option is desired by others, too? So, could there be a possibility to make it an xposed module? From themer/dev view it is an additional effort, but from user view it would make it easier. I understand that you actually only do the theme for yourself and you are so kind to share it with us. Thanks for that. I don't want to ask for too much and I will understand if you reject my request.

Kind regards

Dirk
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Crimsonsky360:
your theme compatible with 3minit?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] toscha42:
You're right, backing up the original files would be far the easiest way to re-install stock theme. If you put into a flashable zip it would already a rollback solution.

These are the files: ClockPackage.apk, framework-res.apk, JobManager.apk, MMAppFramework.apk, MusicPlayerWT.apk, PageBuddyNotiSvc2.apk, SamsungCamera2.apk, SecCalculator_3d.apk, SecCalendar_SPen.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecGallery2013.apk, SecMms.apk, SecNoteMyFiles.apk, SecPhone.apk, SecSettings.apk, SMemo2.apk, SystemUI.apk

May be I'll consider a rollback solution once I've finished 'Discreet Blue' for Android 4.3.

Toscha
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] body150165:

Already test with 3minit...Stuck at logo samsung..restore backup now
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] freak.hh:
I had this also but the Dev found a solution for me. We wrote in a german forum.

Unzip the theme and search for system Ui.apk... Delete it and zip all again.

Now you can flash the theme and it works together with 3minit.
