    Sounds like you are editting a lighter shaded button, that calls for black text, to black.....either lighten the png or you will need to isolate the xml that specifies that text color, and change it from ff000000 to ffffffff (or any other light color code)

    You just can't make light buttons black unless the font is a neutral color like my blues or bronzes... if the text is supposed to be black, then the button cannot be black...wouldn't matter what theme you used.... but if that theme has the buttons you want black already black, then you're set...

    It's not that it is a problem being fixed, it;s just that theme had that button black and the font set to a light color...

    to edit XMLs, you'd need to decompile them... APKManager is a good start for you, if you already don't have it...

    What if I used the smoked glass theme as the base? It has white on black so if I put black buttons shouldn't affect anything?
