P peggjones Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 8, 2013 #1 I'm trying to work out if using themes would help me. I want to present more professional looking layouts. For example I would like to improve the appearance of my edittexts (so they look like those in the SQLEXAMPLE). When I apply the holo.light the only difference I see is a change in the background colour. Does a theme not set defaults for views? Many thanks to anyone who can help.

P peggjones Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 8, 2013 #3 I've set android:targetSdkVersion="14". and set the theme to holo.light. What effect should this have on the background of edittexts? I would like to see a contrast between the edittext and the overall background. Similar to the edittexts in the SQLExample.
