I don't know which colors you want to change, but... there are already several posts about Sparkle. I would recommend you read them. There are a few color changes in these posts.

you said you have done edits on smarters? so you must have MT manager ?
Sparkle is easier to work with and edit than smarters but MT is a must have

Na used Android Studio, but just got MT Manager downloaded from here, do I need to register it as some were saying no, going to start it up in emu on windows, which would be the best EMU to use I have MUMU

With mt my advice would be to purchase the lifetime license as its cheap enough n u will be good to go pal

You don't have to register for the MT Mod version. I don't think you can register at all. As for emulators, there are also LDPlayer and Nox Player which are good.

Hi Thanks
I will buy it as at present using the modded version from here, but everytime I do something it asks he to login, which I keep doing.
I was just using this modded one to see if I could get the hang of it, as was using Android Studio all the time with Smarters.
Trying to get my head around this, as to finding stuff like text color and backgrounds.
BTW the lat time I looked at buying MT I got pounded with adverts from sites.

to edit the different pre styles is easy enough to do
resources.arsc (the orange/yellow icon in MT choose Arsc Editor plus from the list
scroll down to the style folder then select the style.xml file
open it and this is where the pre loaded styles are
scroll down to around line 988 and first one should be classicTheme
you will see all the colors for each theme i would advise to concentrate on one theme be it classic or any other
now the trick and fun part is working out what each color is used for :) ?
take a screenshot like below and save it out then when you find what color does what make a note of it this way you can do edits any time you want to all themes also you can just use the theme file in any of the other versions of sparkle

Thanks that's great I'll give a try, I use developer app on the box so I can click the areas I want and it gives the colour and code so now I should be able to match it up from what you gave me thanks again

How do you compile the edited app.
Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll start adding the colour and other stuff to help others

just back out of the program one step at a time and save and sign when promted once back out to the screen where you can see the installed apps click on the app and select instal as you have done edits ,saved but not installed until you do so

Hi, just spent a bit getting some colors sorted, hope this helps, will keep adding and hopefully find out more.
I trying to find when I can set the defaults from the menu eg. turning on the preview and adding to top of EPG.
