P1i dark themes - Web Browser irritation!


Click to view updated thread with images




Posted by arvinlad
When I run a dark theme and use the web browser I get a white background for the web browser, but the links are highlighted in black with the text white - when the link is 'highlighted' it becomes white with black text and so looks like all the main text

Anyone else get this problem? - any easy solutions?

Thanks

This is a known issue in R6G04.

As a work around why don't you try a lighter theme which comes default with p1 or download W960 themes?

I have never found problems with default themes from SE!

Posted by arvinlad
I tested with a standard light theme & the web browsing is fine....

BUT I like the Dark W960 theme

Yup it's a very well known problem of the last FW...the only solution is to use light themes or to change the settings of the dark one with Theme creator that's how I use dark themes...

Aha! - Borizz, that's what I wanted - I did check it in Themes Creator - but couldn't work out which parameter affected it - which bits do you have to change?

Thanks

I never bother with these things, I just change the theme:)) There are so many! But I'd be interested in finding out how to modify one:)

Well I'll take a look later because I don't remember exactly at the moment But I'll let you know...Or just try to change some background colours, maybe you'll find out faster

just installed Opera mini 4.1 - seems to run fine and no problem with wrong way round highlighting

So... - problem circumvented

Any luck with this Borizz - other people are asking too...

I deleted all the themes to save disk space, then use gdesk. Superb.

Posted by arvinlad
Perhaps I'll give GDesk a try then

Check out this thread here... http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=161231&start=0

HTH Enjoy your P1i

Same problem I'm having with my P1. If I use a dark theme, white background sites get messed up.
If I use a light theme, the dark sites (like prodigits's black theme) look crippled!! Any solution yet????

I guess there is some problem in Opera mobile while rendering CSS elements. I saw some sites like Opera forum rendering perfectly on both types of themes.

Can anyone alter opera.ini or something to fix it?

Get the latest version of SE Themes Creator and do it

https://developer.sonyericsso[....]ls/multimedia/p_multimedia.jsp

Posted by myth®
1. Copy the theme file (xxx.utz) to your pc, right-click and select Open with Winzip.

2. Find the theme.xml file, right-click and select 'Edit'.
The file should be opened with Notepad.

3. Find the following string under 'condensedcolorscheme' (usually in the 10th row):

lightColor background=

4. Change the values here to:

lightColor background="#ffffff" text="#000000

5. Close the Notepad > Save > Update archive with this file (in Winzip) > 'Yes'

6. Copy the modified theme file back to your phone

7. Delete the previous version of the theme:

Control panel > Device > Themes > (scroll to the theme) > More > Delete

8. Open the file manager, install the modified theme and apply it.

9. Open the web browser and check...


This modification also changes the text color of the 'Search' button next to the Google search box on your home page from white to black.


Edit: Forget it guys.. It solves the issue with the web browser, but also affects text entry fields, where the text becomes invisible due to black text on a dark background (e.g. writing a new sms). I guess we have to live with it...

I just use the P1i default theme, most sites work fine. Only dark sites have problem.

Posted by arvinlad
@ myth® - thanks for trying mate

Posted by myth®

np mate

oh and btw, only the start page and some SE wap pages are affected by this 'irritation'.

So, no big deal, at least for me...

What your problem,is happened to me with my P1i.
I love the dark themes,installed it,and have some difficulties when browsing internet with its standard browser (Opera 8.6).
Why don't you try new Java browser named Opera Mini v4.1,it's free to download.
It faster,the background never change,whatever themes you installed,and small RAM used,it will saves ur battery life.

Posted by myth®

Thanks for the tip, we will give it a try

The new Opera 9.5 Beta is Waaaaayyyyy better - apart from in some fields the characters you are typing are in white with a white background - just a little tricky...

Posted by amanhotep
Agree Bro Arvinlad,it has beautiful interface,and much better than our standard browser.
But it use very large phone source when it running (about 24Mb)...very heavy,thus this drain the battery very fast.
Let us watch what poeople says bout it in another thread.
I decide to back to my OperaMini 4.1...ha haaa.

There just doesn't seem to be a solution. I love the dark themes and downloaded the modified Horizon and UIQBlackBuild themes.

The Browser thing is solved but now the calender is unreadable because it's white text on white background.

No luck, will have use the default theme...

Posted by arvinlad
I have a variation of the W960 theme which is fine with the calendar. P1i_Walkman.zip here...

- You will have to copy and paste the whole link I cannot get it to work as a 'clicky'

Another thing I have just noticed is in Handy Weather - when you input coordinates for a custom 'city' if you get a error entry it is white text on white background so you can't see what you've typed
