title says it all.... there is a lot of themes i love.. but they aren't available on the app? just curious why
The designers have to optimize the themes for Themer as everything has to be done using the Themer widgets so it takes some time. And some themes can't be made with Themer.
most themes probably could be ported if the original files are made available and played around with,I have done it with a couple of themes.I find however that having to use pure themer widgets a tad limiting,but as above they only include themes made of pure themer for download via the program.

What @vhngu930 said is correct. Also note that some of the MyColorScreen themes are created in other launchers that have features not yet implemented in Themer. Once Zooper widget becomes integrated with Themer you should start seeing your favorites appear

Having just moved from an iPhone im still learning here so bear with me. It seems as installing custom themes and/or customizing app icons is not as easy as installing winterboard and throwing a theme up. I'm a big buuf/mattahan fan and I've had that theme on my iphone since my 2G. After doing some research it seems that there are a couple of ways to change an app icon. First I could open up the .apk and insert the new icon, then resign the package and put it back on the phone. Second there seems to be an app called metamorph which is similar to winterbord but only works on certain phones.
Am I missing some easier way? I'm willing to spend some time on a package that I could share with others if I knew how.
Thanks

Metamorph does work on the vibrant if you were wondering
Some theme makers also make update.zip's that you can flash from recovery, but most prefer metamorph because its more universal.
also if you use a replacement launcher like ADW launcher which is on the market, then you can download themes from the market and simply choose them from the launchers menu.
In fact I beleive ADW launcher has a buuf theme.
theres also a keyboard app on the market called better keyboard that has a buuf theme (better keyboard is a paid app though)
I would love to get a couple of the different LCARS themes from mycolorscreen.com. However, they aren't packaged up with zip files for use with Themer (at least as far as I can tell). Is there some way to do this, or is it something that I need to do manually? Here is an example of one of the LCARS themes that I'd like to recreate for use with Themer
http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/02/24/lcars-ui/ (not necessarily this one, but at least one of them...I know there is one in Themer already, but I would like to have an additional homescreen since it only comes with 2)

Hi, the MyColorScreen themes you see on the site aren't directly related to Themer, as only recently have designers start porting themes across to Themer. If you aren't able to find the resources from other themes on the site, you'd have to create one from scratch.
If you can't find different wallpapers, you can find the 2 that come with the Themer LCARS theme in this location: /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/prefs.
From here you can open the Everything Widget on the first page, and then see what fonts and colors are used, and simply replicate them on the new pages. That's the best we can do for now.
Hey XDA-Developers Community,
I've browsed this forum multiples of times and finally decided to make an account. I've seen these ads on Themer and everyone's awesome home screen and all. But here are a few question on Themer that I have.
Note: I don't own an Android device at all(or any device), I am asking these questions so when purchasing an Android phone it'll work well.
Will Themer work on any Android Phone/Device?
Will Themer work on the HTC One M8?
Will Themer work on the Google Nexus 5?
Does Themer make my phone waste extra battery?
Does Themer require me to root my phone?
Users that use Themer, describe it in a few sentences
Thank You to anyone who can help clarify my questions and all :good:. Thanks!

Hi there, glad you joined!
1. Themer won't work on any phone, as our team has to configure each team to match the current supported resolutions. For the current list of supported devices, see this link: http://support.themerapp.com/knowledgebase/articles/263019-what-devices-are-supported-
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Themer uses the same amount of battery as any third party launcher. So if you change themes too often, you won't notice any more battery usage than with other launchers.
5. You don't have to root your phone to use Themer.
6. Themer is a homescreen replacement (launcher). It changes your icons, wallpaper, widgets as well as your app drawer. Changing themes is easy, as you simply tap Apply on the theme you want, and within seconds you can have a brand new theme. No external apps are required as everything you need is built into Themer. Also, once a theme is applied, you can still make lots of changes to your homescreen in order to make it suit your individual needs. Please see these videos too, as they will help further your theming knowledge: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos
Hope this helps!
I click on anything and nothing happens at all. Themer works great otherwise as long as the theme doesn't have any zooper widgets. I'm sure that I'm looking over some miniscule settings but for the life of me I can't find out how to get any module to open when clicked. It does this for every theme that uses zooper and all my favorite themes pretty much use themers zooper implementation. I have all my default apps setup and I've tried deleting folders and reinstalling everything but nothing has helped. I've never really used zooper before so Im not that familiar with it tbh. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome. Just to clarify the theme displays correctly but none of the clickable objects on the homescreen work.
I'm having the exacts same issues! I have a Note 3 (4.3 original rom, rooted) and tried everything from deleting Themer, Mycolorscreen folder, etc! Nothing works! Just like @jack_slapped said theme shows up fine but any time a theme has a zooper widget - nothing happens when tapped, tried even changing the ontap action in zooper. Tried many themes and they all have the same issues!
Anyone has any idea?

Hey there,
This is an odd bug. If you're running rooted apps/settings, make sure that everything is as stock as possible. If we see more users reporting this bug we will escalate the matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@ThemerSupport is it because I have xposed modules? The issue is still there after recent Themer updates.

This could be the case, as almost every Xposed module that changes the display will affect Themer. Turn them off one by one to see which module might be affecting Themer, then let us know, as we might know of a workaround.
@ThemerSupport Looks like it's the App setting module (which lets you change your dpi and screen resolution for certain apps) -- I had it changed for Themer sometime ago as my Note 3 shows all themes too small (all widgets are too small) with EVERYTHING unaligned if not.
Any workaround for that?

We're not too sure a workaround, as every device is different. The only advice we recommend is to either leave the settings for Themer as stock as possible, or browse this forum to see if someone else has found a fix. Technically Themer isn't meant to work with rooted settings, but if it does, then that's a bonus
So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0
Original article:http://lifehacker.com/the-mosaic-home-screen-1670066851

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)
Cheers

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
