IOS 7 - Change message bubble color?, IOS 7 - Change message bubble color?

I'm guessing we still can't change the message bubble colors?  It was just annoying before.  Now it is a necessity. 
The vivid green/white on a white background just makes it hard to see/read for SMS messages...I can go as far as saying that it hurts my eyes.  The blue and white are almost as bad for iMessages.   I tried inverting the colors in the accessibility settings which helpped for the messaging and made everything else unsuable.
If I can't change the colors I will have to revert the OS (same colors but with black text and less vivid gradients) or  change to a phone/OS that allows for better customization/ accessability options.  This really *****...I have had a iPhone for a long time.

Just downloaded the IOS 7 and I want to go back to the previous IOS now!
I am disappointed in the color changes of the new icons with the IOS 7. Within an hour after downloading the new IOS 7 I have been trying to change the text messaging bubble color. I cannot deal with the bright piercing chartreuse green color of the message bubble. This horrible chartreuse green color with the white letters on a white screen number one, hurts my eyes, number two, I cannot read it. I want the nice pale blue with black letters back that I had before I upgraded. Even the color of green on the previous IOS was more pleasing to the eyes than this horrible bright piercing chartreuse green color you have now. I cannot cope with it at all.
If I cannot have a different color bubble (how silly not to give your customer what they want) or allow for me to go back to the older operating system until you change your mind, I will have no alternative but to leave Apple iPhone, iPad behind because your current operating system is hurting my eyes literally and I cannot look at the screen without getting a headache or read my text messages any longer because of the color choice that you have made with no other option for me to choose from.
Now can we talk??? Can the customers get what they want or do you lose more customers due to this horrible color scheme and the refusal to listen to what your customers want, need and desire?

  • Can I change the text color in iOS messages

    I'e upgraded to iOS 7.  It's okay, but now the text inside the dialoge ballons in the messaging app is now white instead of black.  Black test is easier to read.  How can I change this aspect?

    Select the text you want to change.
    Tap the i in the top bar.
    Tap Style in the top bar.
    Tap the Font name/size
    Tap Color then choose the color you want the text.

    You will need to purchase the upgrade CD for 10.6 from the Apple Online store, OR you can likely get one at an Apple Retail Store.  It is the last version that was available on CD.  After 10.6, the upgrades are available in the Mac App Store.

  • Can the color of the message app be changed on the new iOS 7 release.

    Can the new message app colors be changed?  The new format is white and quite stark.

    Appartently not!  I might as well chime in and say that the choice of a white background and sharp font is not good and needs an update.  You can invert the colors and suffer the changes to everything else but it does make the iMessage better or follow the suggestions above and increase the boldl and sharpness.

  • Can app colors be changed in iOS 7?

    Most of the core apps such as Music, Mail, Reminders, Phone, etc, have a white background with grey text, which is difficult for me to read the button text.  Is it possible to change the background color of stock apps?  If you look at the FaceTime app, it does NOT have a white background.

    It's evident that Apple does what it wants to do, and does not listen to their customers.  I bought a Moto X for $299 without a contract from Republic Wireless, and pay $30 per month for unlimited talk/text/data.  Everything is so much easier to view and read, I'm not even thinking of going back unless Apple makes some drastic changes to iOS 7.
    And it has something that has irked me about iPhones since I bought my first iPhone -- Persistant missed call/voicemail notifications!  The iPhone would remind me that I have voice mail once, that's it.  If you missed it, you would probably miss the voice mail too.  The Moto X persistanly reminds me every few minutes with an AMOLED display of an icon for missed voice mail, text messages, etc.  Untill I dismiss it!  It's configurable actually.

  • IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  How can I change it in mail and messages?

    HI,
    iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization.  This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

    yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
    I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off  "invert color" mode just to switch between
    the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
    I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
    What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
    one LIGHT color scheme,
    and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
    See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
    the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
    then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
    you want to play a game.
    and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so  many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again.   I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option. 
    I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen..  VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
    so I agree completely...
    but ya know, they don't listen to us...  cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about....  What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues,  from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
    I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
    kind regards,
    Tom

  • Upgraded to IOS 8.  iMessage has changed for the worse, losing messages now.  How can I force iMessage to use SMS for some contacts?

    SMS works well and is generally free for most plans here.  I'd like to be able to send messages via SMS from my iPhone for many of these contacts because something changed in IOS 8 iMessage and now iMessages seem to get lost.   Plus as before they can end up in multiple threads.  This latter issue seems to be worse as well with iOS8 but not sure why. 
    For example one friend set up an iPad with her apple ID and subsequently gave it to her son.  She also has an iPhone. I've been exchanging iMessage/SMS's with her which worked fine until the upgrade.  Then she stopped getting my messages on her iPhone.  Turns out that they were landing on the iPad.  While it may be that she doesn't have things sorted correctly on her iPhone that doesn't change the fact that prior to iOS8 she could get my messages.  So I'd like to designate her and a number of other contacts as SMS only.
    Additionally I am seeing more multiple threads from the same contacts.  Not sure why but it seems to have something to do with iOS 8 sucking in additional email addresses, e.g. @icloud.com and subsequently using these in some messages even though the contact is the same person.  I've tried adding the new email address into the contact card I have on file for that person and this simply resulted in two threads with the same contact name.
    Really what is up with this and why does Messages need to keep track of all this info?  The only requirement to direct a message between to iDevices should be valid Apple ID's on both with a means to reference this (Phone Number, Apple ID Email Address) in the respective contact.  In the absence of this the message should be sent as SMS.

    I have the same problem on iOS 7.0.3. With one particular friend I receive iMessages from her just fine and I can send her iMessages from Mac OS X and Messages on iPad, but Messages on my iPhone keep sending her my messages as Text messages. I send iMessages just fine from the same iPhone. SFChuch, what ios version is your recipient using? Did they sign up on iCloud? I wonder if the problem happens with recipients who are not properly registered on iCloud or some special case like that.

  • Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK.  IPad 4 ios 7

    As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
    Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
    I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
    HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
    Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    Vancouver22  Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
    Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
    My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
    The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
    Thanks!

  • I tried to update my ipod to iOS 6.0.1 software but it froze of a while so i attempted to restart it, now it wont even turn on! The screen changes colors everytime. I held down the lock and the home botton to try to restart it but nothing works!

    I have absolutly no acess at all and the only thing that does anything is the lock and home button if i hold them down together but it seems to repeat the process with no progress but a color change. I just want to fix this problem without ruining anything on my ipod.
    !!!PLEASE HELP!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Changing Keyboard Colors on iOS 7?

    My boyfriend has low vision. He's having trouble seeing the new ios 7 keyboard. Anyone know how to change colors?

    I tried this for myself because some of the things from the last upgrade made things hard to see and inverting colors is NOT a good solution as it inverts colors on EVERYTHING in your phone, including photos and well, everything.
    Just thought I'd put that out there. Would be nice to see a customized settings area for color preferences. The new iOS is very flat and really hard to see for those who wear glasses or have other vision problems.

    OK community members.....am I crazy or wasn't there a way to change the color of the speech bubbles in Messages?  I just went from a 3gs to a new 4s and I can't seem to find where that can be done or even if it can be done.  I was thinking I was able to do it on my 3gs.  Thanks!!

    Speech bubble colour cannot be changed.  SMS is green and iMessage is blue and that's it I'm afraid.

    If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.
