So, what are Android themes and how can you get started with one?

What is Theme?

Every Android phone got many types of themes within it, but the one we suggest throughout this article is home screen themes or launcher themes. A theme is the visual styling of your home screen, through the choice and use of launchers, wallpapers, widgets, icon packs, sounds, and other elements.

Users mostly imagine themes as complex elements and high-maintenance setups. They imagine custom Zooper widgets and elaborte icon packs. And while there are many people who do completely overhaul their launchers regularly, for most of us, a theme does not mean changing the way your phone is set up, only how that setup looks.

Even if you don’t wish to use Launchers in making your home screen look good, launcher have some other uses that you may be interested in:

• Hiding apps: Hiding an app from the app drawer is the function that most launchers offer. Easy accessibility of an app is also offered by launchers without compromising privacy, especially, by family member finding the app. Moreover, you may also rename the app and give them the icon that is less likely to catch the eyes of other users.
