BACK 2 BLUE - a simple theme for CM12.x/CM13
BACKGROUND
As many CM users already know, CM changed how the stock Browser app looks in CM13, using a green palette. Just recently, they also quietly changed the palette for the Messaging app, this time in a more shocking purple. I don't understand why CM decide to put so much eye strain on us, nor do I want to stand the disharmony it caused on my homescreen.
Since there are so many devices of different nature and density, one modified browser/messaging app can't fit all, so I'm inspired to start my first Android "app" project according to CM's guidelines, the result of which is this simple theme that solves the above problem universally.
THEME DESCRIPTION
This theme, as of version 1, themes the following elements:
Browser - revert to a blue version of Lollipop's browser icon; blue palette
Calculator (stock, KitKat and below) - use Marshmallow calculator icon
Email - blue icon and palette
Messaging - blue icon and palette
Sound Recorder - gray palette
Snap Camera - use stock Camera2 icon
SCREENSHOTS
Before you ask, the statusbar and navbar color effects are achieved by the Xposed module PerfectColorBar, not by the theme.
Homescreen and icons:
Messaging:
Browser:
Sound Recorder:

FINAL WORDS
The theme's aim is to correct the stray colors while keeping things as close to stock CM as possible - I created the project solely to satisfy my needs, to get rid of icons I see as discordance, so I will only theme certain system apps when necessary and will not theme user apps. I don't intend to become a pro themer and compete with all the wonderful full-fledged themes out there, and you might want to consider those themes or even make one yourself if you want further customization. It's easy - I created this one in mere hours, and if you are familiar with Android Studio, you can do it maybe even faster!
Thanks for checking out my first Android "app" project! Toss any useful suggestions below, but as said above, don't expect any requests get integrated :D
