Is there some way to change the look of notifications when they come in. For example, notifications that I have a new text message are very drab and would like to dress up a bit or choose a different display. Couldn't find anything in settings.
The only way I could think of is picking a different messaging app. Try downloading Ninja SMS or pop up window. There are a few other texting apps available.
The stock messaging app doesn't offer much in the way of jazzing it up.
