Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

[K Mor]

Well Textra was okay. But there were a couple things I didn't like, such as not being able to pick how many messages to keep, and when I was writing a text, it didn't show the whole thing, only a couple lines. So back to the hideous orange I went. I do know you can change the background color, but I want to change it all, including the top. Anybody figure anything out yet????

Try handcent. I've been using it since the update. Seems ok to me and can customize it.

In my opinion, the orange looks sweet. I'm a little biased because orange is my favorite color.

I agree that it's a nice change from the teal. Maybe we need to send a suggestion to Samsung to add the ability to change the theme color.

It's terrible. Textra until it gets changed. Simply seeing it in this thread reminds me how hideous it is. I am sure it is an evil joke.

I decided to just go with the color and make the best of it. I went to zedge and found a pretty background.

I am getting rid of my S5 now, I have had all the previous versions. This orange is unacceptable. Time to switch to the dreaded apple iphone.

Everyone switching to iPhones - make my life a living hell by sending me your Note 4s so I have to look a the orange on more than one screen at a time. I'll even post a funny picture of myself screaming at all the orange if I get three or more of them.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I hope so bad you're being serious. That would be so freaking funny if someone actually jumped to the iPhone because they didn't like the orange, and refused to download any one of 50 other amazing text messaging apps from the play store. PLEASE tell us you're serious.

getting rid of the phone because of the ugly orange color only?

Really?? Has the world gone effing nuts? First a guy dumps his note 4 because he won't try a reset. Now this.

What are you going to do if Apple changes colors to something you find offensive? You guys must have a **** load of disposable income.

Have any of you heard of the plethora of messaging apps you can try?

Yep. I think a complimentary background makes all the difference. I think it looks good!

Get Handcent, you can customize just about every nook and cranny of the application. Textra, is far too restrictive.

 

[K Mor]

Well, might try Handcent now. And the complimentary background does help that you guys posted. But I would NEVER get rid of my phone for a dreadful iPhone.....no. way.
