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?
