Thanks for the reply:)I understand that at this point there is no support
for theme switch application which enables an end-user to choice theme from
multiple themes like Windows OS I am looking forward to this feature to be
delivered from Google.
On the other hand, even if we cannot switch themes, I would like to try to
modify default theme. Is it possible to do this by modifying themes.xml in
the Android open source /frameworks/base/core/res/res/values directory and
then making a build to create emulator?
In addition to this, I found themes.xml and other resources
in tools/lib/res/default/values in the Android SDK toolkit directory. I
changed this xml file and other png files in drawable folder, but nothing
changes in Android emulator... Why? Is there something else to do this?

There is some architecture work done for this, but a fair amount
remaining. At this point finishing the work is not scheduled on the
roadmap.

I'd like to know about full-OS themes too. It looks like (from the
developer's kit) that such a thing is already supported in the backend
(why wouldn't it be, right?), but there doesn't appear to be a system-
level app that will manage or switch between theme configs.
If this truly isn't available yet, when will it be?

Hello,
I would like to ask you about how to change application theme. In case
of
application-specific theme, it is possible to change theme by asking
your
Activity to call setTheme(int theme). On the other hand, how can we
change
theme applicable to all applications which does not have their own
theme? As
you know, Windows OS has a theme setting which can be changed by an
end-user
in the display property of control panel. Does android platform support
this
feature?
If Android platform does not support theme setting, I have the following
solutions from developer point of view.
(1) Modify themes.xml provided by Android framework as default, and
then
make a build.
(/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/themes.xml)
(2) Change Android open source code to add new APIs for changing theme
for
all applications.
Is there any other better solution to change theme for all applications?
Regards,
/Paul
