How Themer can refresh your Android home screen (pictures)
The Themer app for Android can give Android phones' home screens anything from an uncluttered austerity to over-the-top techno detail. Here's a sampling of the app's themes.
Stephen Shankland
Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D printing, USB, and new computing technology in general. He has a soft spot in his heart for standards groups and I/O interfaces. His first big scoop was about radioactive cat poop.
This Android theme, available with Themer, includes a photo, a series of app links, and a customizable news feed. App developer MyColorscreen also offers Android themes for particular subjects such as Grand Theft Auto V, Bruce Lee, and "Game of Thrones."

Themer default screen
When you hit the home button on your Android phone, Themer asks you if you want to use its launcher. You can set it to be default, and if you don't like it, you can go back to the regular Android home screen.
