When blue turns into violet

XperiaNow — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 20:28:00 GMT

I have a problem with representation of colors in themes on my Z1 compact.

Whenever I try to apply some theme which is mainly blue, it turns into violet.

For instance, when I tried to apply the blue Dot theme here it turned the whole screen into violet.

My other phone Xperia SP doesn't have this problem. Blue is always blue, but Z1 compact won't show blue color theme.

Have you changed the white balance? settings > screen > white balance.

I managed to fix it.

Unlike my Xperia SP which has a simple way of changing the theme, Z1 compact has a different approach.

To change the theme on Z1 compact, one have to: change the theme, change the backgroung and change the lock screen background as well. If you don't change some of these elements they might interfere with the new theme. For instance, I applied the new theme but didn't change the background image and it interfered with the new theme showing me the unexptected color.

You decided to answer to a month old message and to delete my potentially very valuable news about lollipop (cause I don't see it and I posted it yesterday). Why?
