Here's the mms.apk from cyanogenmod 7.2.I'm not sure if it works on all rom's. I know for a fact it works on roms that run stock 2.3.4 so i'm not sure if it'll work for 2.3.6. I wanted this mainly because of the fact you can switch between black and white backgrounds sooooo yeah.

Cyanogen_Mms.apk

Also this isn't my work. Just something I found on another forum

Edit: forgot to add instructions for the noobs lol.

  • Download the file and put it on your sdcard and rename it to Mms.apk
  • Go into /system/app with root explorer and rename your original mms.apk mms.apk.bak
  • Move or copy the mms.apk you just downloaded to /system/app
  • Change it's permissions so that every box under read is checked and the owner box under write is checked and every other box should be unchecked
  • Reboot and you're good to go

Look at the attachments to see how it should look

P.S. Mms doesn't work with this still sooo yeah lol
