Someone on google's team hates the fugly material design as a lot of other people do...

LEGALIZE IT.

Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
[Android Themes] NLBeev:
There are different opinions. But the main issue for me is readability. Especially when smaller fonts are used.

Maybe . . . G-team read some threads here !
[Android Themes] wrongway213:
Most things are opinions, some things are mistakes. Google's light material design in the age of AMOLED screens was simply a mistake, period point blank. People can attempt to justify it as preferential or what have you, but from a practical standpoint, the move makes no sense. Aesthetics aside, making stark white backgrounds for phones with more and more common AMOLED displays when one of the biggest complaints about your OS vs. the competition is 'weak battery life due to poor management of resources and wakelocks running amok' makes about as much sense as logging on to XDA to try to find a date, quite frankly. I simply cannot logically acknowledge Lollipop's material design as a matter of preference or opinion - I view it as a mistake as cut and dry as any other.
[Android Themes] NLBeev:
What is in a name? I don't like Light M.

Because of battery drain and readability.

I can live with the other aspects of the 'design'
[Android Themes] wrongway213:
If you mean why am I differentiating between an "opinion " and a "mistake", it's because saying this is an opinion gives the Google devs who made this genuinely awful decision an excuse and an out. They don't deserve one, as what they have done to the design of Android has legitimately caused practical issues for a multitude of users, not just annoyed some people as it would have if this was a matter of preference and opinion as opposed to a matter of genuine function and mistake. To say it's an opinion would be to say the reason you are upset at Google's decision is simply that it is not visually appealing to you. To say that it is a mistake, I am saying that I genuinely believe the Google developers who made this mistake have negatively impacted the experience of a number of consumers in an actual functional way - not just annoyed some people who don't like white. The number one complaint of Android/Windows users over iPhone/Apple users is incompatibility between software and hardware. All these beautiful (and large) AMOLED screens with a stark white theme running on them would give one the impression that Google is doing exactly what the Apple users have always accused them of in the worst possible way - developing software with completely and totally zero regard for the hardware that it will be running on.
[Android Themes] Train88:
That's most likely why Android M has a theme switch... At least in the developer preview. I'm one of the biggest anti-material design people (obviously), but I like how it let's us make the status & navigation bars clear (if the devs built it in correctly)

Thread cleaned a bit. Please don't harass other members for updates. Updates will come when they are ready, or not. All we can do is wait patiently.

Or learn to theme, and you won't have to wait with the rest of us. :good:

Thank you Darth. Quite glad that I missed the melodramatic post(s) this time.

Not so far off topic... https://plus.google.com/+AndrewTraynham/posts/XUP37UmhcLj

Hi, thank's for the great work. Could i ask why the paypal APP is no more themed? In playstore is

since month an update, but in the tbo APP not. Would it be possible to theme PayPal again. Sorry for Bad englisch and thank you verry much.
[Android Themes] Train88:
Because there are only 4 of us on the team, and we do whatever we want bc we do it for free.

Hows that for an answer if people want to keep asking? Ever read the xda rules?!?!

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Read 2 posts up. There are are only a few guys doing these apps in their free time. Things get updated when and if an update is deemed necessary. Paypal still works, you are not missing anything in the updated version. [MENTION=5476501]Train88[/MENTION] well put g+ post, googled really crapped out with lollipop in my opinion. They just keep rushing things and are so worried about stupid animations and fruity color schemes. Material design just seems like an illusion to trick dummies into thinking that this is the coolest thing ever. There is nothing special about material design and most if not all the gimmicky "effects", animations, and drop shadows could always be achieved. Not too hard to make statusbar and navigationbar transparent either system wide. Funny to see all the dopes already clamoring for Android m when Android l is such a hot mess...

[Android Themes] NLBeev:
Thx for your explanation. Let us hope Google will make changes on the short term.
[Android Themes] wrongway213:
No problem. XDA is an international forum so I don't mind explaining some things as I know not everything appears the same way to everyone reading it. I agree with you about hope, I hope they make some long-term changes (no more forced white only ever again please) but do it in a short time frame, actually - appears from M preview they just might.

Yes it's lollipop only. A little under that code, it has a check - "LOrLater" lol

Not sure how your status bar is transparent of you're not on LP though.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, i'm on jellybean on my phone and kit kat on my tablet. I refuse to update to lollipop. Lol. But most of my apps are trans status bar except tapatalk and play store.

Here's a cool batdroid wallpaper i saw on g+ earlier-

Statusbar is trans too, i think it turned black when i took the screenshot. It turns black when a notification appears then goes bsck to trans.

Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yep translucent statusbar attribute works on kitkat, I used it on klearkat. Lollipop has a set color attribute to make it easier unless hard coded like Train found, which has been rare on lollipop with the exception of hangouts. It has many in smali.
[Android Themes] Train88:
Google Play Music has a bunch in smali too, but they are easier... Only have to redirect them to a different public id

Can someone direct me to were I can find Spotify and slacker clear app (and widget) thanks in advance
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Got ya. Yeah on jellybean there is no conformity there, one of the few things i like about lollipop, i just can't stand the fruity colors that go from actionbar and bleed into the statusbar. But those colors are relatively easy to change from what little i've seen so far.

LEGALIZE IT.

Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
[Android Themes] Train88:
Slacker was retired, and Spotify looks horrible when trying to make it clear. That's why it's only blacked out.

Edit: you can still get my old black slacker from the "retired" section though... It has a custom clear widget that I made back in the day

So blacked out fb version 7 has stopped working with lollipop Touchwiz... What's the latest and where is the latest blacked out fb?
[Android Themes] Woody:
I want to say that this conversation was had not too long ago. Maybe search "Facebook" "Version" or something along those lines. IIRC, someone was using version 9 or 12? I don't have FB, so I can't go any further than the above, but I do know that there were a few posts with people talking about their version. Best I can do. Maybe someone else knows the last blacked out version and can chime in.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Exactly where it should be..in the updater. V15 is the last and final one we will do.

It's in the updater too so he didn't look that hard lol

I just do'nt know why sharing images on version 7 has gone awry on LP
[Android Themes] Trina9:
There isn't any as far as I know. Facebook wants you to use the official apps only,and most Third-party apps aren't working anymore.

Looking to upload tonight if not very early tomorrow morning. I wanna try and get Chrome updated since they updated again while I was working on it...ugh...so that's what's up right now.

Oh wait Google App updated again too but I'll knock that out fast.

+1 don't get me wrong I LOVE the inverted version (I'm a TBOT) but the colored "icons" really DO make a huge difference. There is a place and a market for monochromatic themes, but those colored details make it pop & look complete (at least to me). I feel the same way about the Team Black Out's playstore as well. Nevertheless, I am extremely happy with all of your hard work. I am very pleasantly surprised that the new Gmail has already gotten your attention & magic. Thanks for continually doin' what you do....... and sharing your hard work with the community.

Loving the addition of IMDb. I use it alot. Just one question. In the notifications section, it's impossible to see which ones you haven't read yet. Used to be highlighted for new ones. Will that be possible for the black version or is it something I'll just have to chalk up?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
That app was themed by a new member, most of the testers passed up testing it because no one really used it. If you could show me a screenshot I can try and fix it for you.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Haris19:
Not sure if this will help you since it's all black. So basically those first 2 articles are ones I haven't read. And because of that they should be highlighted to alert me they are unread just like Gmail or email would be highlighted to show unread emails. Not sure if this is something that can be fixed. If you can :thumbup::D:D
