Editing the Style
|
***This guide is directly for those who want to black out apps. If you want to keep your style, go to the next page***
Firstly, search for parent="@*android (parent="@*android:style to be specific but you'll find more with the broader search). This will bring you to styles.xml (under res/values). Here is where we get to edit all the base styles. If you have text you can't change or a white background beneath the black one, this will probably fix it. Looking through the results, the first one we see with the word "light" in it is
<style name="Sherlock.__Theme.Light" parent="@*android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"> (line 328)
Remove the Light in parent="@*android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"> to give you parent="@*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
Do not edit the name! It's also a good idea to make sure that such a parent exists. Normally, you can see it a few lines above (line 325). Do these changes for all parents with @*android:style. Leave the @style as is. Note that "inverse", "solid", or "dark action bar" generally need to be removed as well, as there is no dark inverse theme etc. If you feel like you might make an error, you might want to back things up first.
