Hello, it's stock Jelly Bean. All OEM with JB 4.1.2 has white background for messaging and contact. You have to roll back to ICS if you want black theme.

Surely the colour could be changed though? Stock JB must be customisable?

Bearings you want to say because Sony made a crazy mistake for pick a unusal design we should downgrade our phone OS?

who said such thing ( All OEM with JB 4.1.2 has white background for messaging and contact )?!!! do you see messaging or contacs backgrounds on samsung phones with android 4.1.2 ?

Android design is completely customizable and its easy for Sony to make it white or pink or anything else...

Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879558. Sony stayed closest to Google Vanilla for JB. Of course you can customise it to black but Google changed it to white for easier viewing under bright Sunlight. Androidcentral got people from other OEMs asking how to get the white background.

You can always go back to ICS; sell your phone and get Samsung or use Windows phone or Apple. This is from Google Android Jelly Bean unaltered. Write to Google instead.

Thanks for your crazy advice because sony made mess on design we should change our phone. or downgrade our OS, How much did they pay for you to post these craps?

Really hope they pay for craps like you do. Face the facts, this white background will stay until Sony give you the option but that will take another few updates. Suggestions are for consideration only. They are free of course. :smileymischief:

Different people love different things. That's why they invented the "Settings" so everyone can be happy having the option to choose the things they love. As far as I know the customization is one of the main Android advantages over iOS.

I hope everyone will get my point

That's what customised ROM is all about. But for OFFICIAL one, you get what they give. Whether Sony will give you that choice is their call. You can always choose one that suits you.

Have to say I am not overly bothered about the white background, unless it's true what people say about it using more battery, in which case, it is pretty annoying. Plus all of the previous softwares on my Sony Android smartphones have had dark themes which is kinda the Sony trademark and the design looked nicer. But I can live with it.

If the official firmware can't be adjusted to the user (the one who expect it when he/she give his/her money) then it $uck$ IMHO

Same for those having the black theme who want it white in Samsung, I think. Can put it on wish list and see whether Sony oblige. Rather they fix the other bugs first.
