Is there any way to have folder settings transfer from one theme to the next?
I tend to stay away from themes that use folders because it is such a chore to delete apps I don't have or use in the folders and replace them with the apps I need every time I change themes.
Lots of themes have custom icons for Bank, Fitness, etc. that are not listed in the app preferences. I love the icons but the fact that I don't uses the apps associated with them, makes them useless.
Can I change the app associated with the icon and have the setting transfer from one theme to the next?

Its upto the themer who makes the theme to choose what he adds and what he doesn't.

Yes you can change the associated app by changing the hotspot for the icon.

It seems every themer believes everyone plays candy crush and scrabble.
not transferring apps in folders has been frustrating, but I think what bugs me the most is the forced alphabetical order.

So true, but that's why the developers still mention that its a beta version of the app and is still under testing. And we can help them by making it better by sharing our feedback and sending the complaints and bug reports to te developers so that they can improve it and add more options to the app.
You can visit this link: support.themerapp. com to report the bugs and share your feedback.
Is there a way to remove the Candy Crush icon and the Papa Bear icon under games?

Hi, many of the new themes use Smart Folders, that link up with your Smart Categories, which means that these folders will remain the same no matter which theme you're using. Also in the next few weeks you should be able to change the alphabetical options

Please answer this question. I know that the content is prescribed by the theme developer but to be honest I do not play any games on my phone. I do not mind the Category being empty as I may download games in teh future but I would like to remove the icons in the folder.
Is this something that can be carried out by editing the theme settings directly?

They answered this in another thread but their answer was to reinstall the app which did no good and they have not responded since.

Hi, if you are referring to the sponsored apps (such as Candy Crush), you can remove them by going into: Themer Settings - Manage App Drawer - Hide Sponsored Apps. These apps are simply used to help bring in resources and keep Themer free. The option to remove them from the Smart Category folders found on your homescreen will also added in soon.

Many thanks for the response.
Unfortunately following those steps does not clear them or hide them when the Category they are in is tapped.
I will await the update to allow them to be removed.
I've been working on this theme for a while now, I keep running into issues, but for the most part I've been able to do what I need to do. I'm still tweaking things here and there but will make sure to update with the zip folder containing the theme. The notification bar is hidden and can be pulled down by swiping down or clicking the icon on the top. The app drawer can be brought up from the icon along the center of the bottom.
Any comments are always helpful, let me know what you guys like and don't like. Loving this app so far!
*Updated Zip (01-14-14)*
fine looking theme m8
Looks awesome! The only thing I didn't see in the screenshots was the app drawer icon. If you could squeeze that somewhere and publish already - that'd be great. I'd love to install it and see how it handles.
Thanks guys, the theme's complete and I've sent it to MCS. Hopefully we'll see it on their homepage soon.
The app drawer is accessed by the icon that is at the center of the bottom.
I'll publish this for you guys when I get home!
Yay

Download the zip folder and place it into your SD card under the MyColorScreen>Themer>Exported directory. You'll then be able to select it from clicking Browse Themes>Exported Themes.

Thanks for that. So, all the different "themes" shown on the mycolorscreen website...do those all need to be replicated manually? Or is there a zip file for each one of those?

That depends on if that person set it up using themer or not. I've seen a lot that use nova launcher and a few other widget programs so I believe those have to be replicated manually. That's the nice thing about themer, put the zip folder on your phone and it works right away.

Works for me! Good job! One thing though...on the main screen, the three icons for camera, calendar and Chrome don't work. It brings up the playstore with "retry" on it. I have all those installed. How do I change what app they are pointing to?

I literally just made a shortcut to the Camera, Calender and Browser and changed the icon. I'm sure the icons are in the zip folder so you could always delete the shortcuts, add them again with your shortcuts and change the icon. It works correctly on my phone surprisingly
Wow amazing work!!!!
What I would recommend is that you can use holo looks ...Everyone likes holo looks !! black doesn't suit this type of setup.try using transparent glass background(I mean kinda like a tinted glass or a semitransparent glass)

I'm a complete novice when it comes to programming for this kind of thing. Actually, novice doesn't begin to describe So I have a request, but I'm not sure how possible it is, or if it's done and I just haven't figured it out. I *love* Themer, and I like have the freedom to change things up without all the extra crap that other launchers have. My issue is that I tend to change themes every week or so, but then I have to turn around and modify each one to get it just right. Is there a way to transfer mods from theme to theme?

What sort of mods you talking. As depending on what you want add.
You could use themer zooper as that will save a template to your sd card that you can add to as many themes as you like

You can't save Everything Widgets from theme to theme, but as Moley said you can save the Zooper Widget configurations.
If you hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets, then hold down on the widget - Configure.
If it's a Zooper Widget, you can do as many customization tweaks as you want, and once you're happy (via Layout) - select the save icon at the top.
Now when you want to add this saved template, add a Zooper Widget - Resize it - tap to open it's options - SD Card - your saved template

How does a person create a theme and then use it? I'd like to have very specific things on my theme but other than adding to an existing theme, i can't seem to take away from an existing theme, how do I create a new one from scratch?
I know they say watch the vid but if you are like me you need to see it in writing,it makes more sense to me that way.Anyway the easiest way is to grab a theme and change it around/edit,get a feel for the program then create your own by changing wallpapers,icons,weather etc.A lot of themes now won't let you edit them I have found,however download any of mine and edit away they are all editable,as are a few more posted here but names don't spring to mind,none in my opinion are any better or worse than each other they just have their own little attributes that makes them unique in their own way.So go on and play around m8,it will be fun.

Thanks, I cannot stand those youtube videos that "show" you how to do things. I find them tedious and unusable. I'd rather just get some instructions, an application and let me do it. Yet, so many seem to post "youtube instructions" i write this stuff for a living and have never found a video more useful than written instructions. However, that's my bias.
I'll go check out some of yours.
I agree with your assessment that NONE of the themes I've downloaded have been editable. I don't want to ADD more widgets and icons to a theme. I just want to start with a blank canvas and let me do it.
Yet, if all these themes exist, HOW were they created? I'm really not going to watch a youtube video. There has to be a building application somewhere. Not re-engineer something already there.
One question, when you say "download mine" where do I find yours. None of the ones I've seen through the application say who created them.
mine and others are in the screenshots and themes forum beneath the general discussion.I agree fully with the video and much prefer to read it as I find it more followable,but again I suppose that is my bias too.You can start almost fresh,grab a theme as posted earlier,then delete everything,if the theme uses everything widget this is simple to do,just press screen and choose remove,then change the wallpaper by selecting your own then simply add you own widgets etc via the inbuilt everything widget (although this isn't as stable as it could be) or download widgets from playstore etc then add them,hope this helps apologies if I seem to waffle on.

Hi sanjsrik,
I'm the one who made the YouTube tutorial videos, so I apologize if they weren't that informative. Those were created in the beginning just to give people a basic understanding of what Themer was about.
Alldroid is correct in saying that starting with a fresh blank theme is the best, then just seeing what works and what doesn't. My advice would be learn more about Zooper Widget, as a lot of the newer themes use it, and it's brilliant. That's all Themer is essentially, a wallpaper, some widgets, and maybe some icons if you're feeling brave. We do recommend making the grid size quite large, in order to make the widget resizing easier. you might also notice that the new themes include incredibly detailed icons, these are in fact Zooper fonts, so as mentioned play around with the Zooper widgets found in the new themes.
If you need help/ideas feel free to ask, I'm always here to help!

Marco,
I would definitely go for it... though I am more of a "hands on" student and for learning I need to hear the stuff (that's how I learned all the stuff during college - my wife reading the material and me laying down and just listening - damn, she was so furious when I got the same grades as she did... ;o]]]), the text might help you gain more audience among those "give-me-a-manual-and-shut-up" types.
You have created a superb product for the tinkerers so a step further in the direction of a superb customer/user support would be a definitive nod in the right direction.
I personally would like more short video tutorials on specific features, how they work, what is their purpose and the mechanics (Yeah, you guessed it, I am not that familiar with design and graphics;o]) and maybe a tut on the 'codes' for custom formats of zooper widget.
well and maybe few more videos with theme designers like the one you guys did with GeriArts would also be inspiring... ;o]]]
another definate yes here too thanks,would make it a more better product in my opinion.

I promise I am NOT complaining. I promise I am NOT criticizing. I am just asking the question, WHAT is Themer?
from everything I understand, it's not a true "application", it's a wallpaper that then people can add widgets that "do" things.
if this is the case, HOW are these widgets "locked" where they can't be changed in a lot of the wallpapers I've downloaded.
THAT is my only question.
Oh, and how come there's not a "builder" application for Themer?

No worries we weren't offended by your comments, we're just trying to make everyone's theming experience as easy possible.
Themer is a launcher. Just like TouchWiz, Nova, Apex, ssLauncher, etc. It's a link between the hardware and software, you could think of it as the body/shell of a car. The car can have a different shell, and with Themer, it's shell can be customized in seconds.
Calling it a wallpaper with widgets doesn't really do it justice, as a launcher incorporates your app drawer as well, and maybe some more features arriving soon.
One thing to remember is that Themer, once stripped to its core, it a launcher, just like the rest. By that we mean you're able to edit/add/remove widgets, change wallpapers, change the icons (icon pack support arriving soon), etc. To unlock widgets, hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Repeat the process to lock them, or alternatively you can go into the main Themer settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Lock Desktop Widgets.
Whenever the widgets/icons are unlocked, this can be called the "builder" mode, as you can add/remove/edit widgets and icons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the constructive email.
I think the biggest confusion anyone has with your "application" is that it doesn't seem like an application. It really does sound like a wallpaper with widgets. For example:
* Is there the ability to add groups for grouping together like kinds of applications?
* Can I add my own icons for applications?
Think GoLauncher or some other such "launcher" application that exists.

1. With Themer, you can add in Smart Category folders. For example the Games Category, when you install a new game, it will show up in this category and then whichever theme has a games folder, this new game will automatically appear. This saves a lot of time, but you can also manually add in your own categories or manually add in your own apps to a category.
2. Icon pack support is still limited. If you have icons on the homescreen, these can be edited manually. Some icon packs are supported, but you can also set them to other images in your gallery.

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

most icon packs by default don't work with themer,but there is a way round this although you will need to manually change the icons you want to use.
Download apk extractor from Playstore
download the icon packs you want to your device
using apk extractor extract the apk of the icon pack you downloaded,this file will be stored on your device main storage in the apk extrat folder.
Attach your device to your laptop etc,then drag the extracted apk icon pack to it
rename the icon.apk and change the apk extension to zip
open with your favourite zip program
then simply extract the icon file images
this thread helped a lot
Here is my first attempt at a Themer Theme.
I thought that it was easiest to start with something nerdy rather than cool
The basics are that I use the zooper widget to link to different homescreens, lika an old "frames" website. Ten Forwards is the name of the bar in Next Generation and there i keep all social stuff. Holodeck is for fun and recreation with a simple music widget. Computer is, well everything regarding the phone itself. And the Personal Log is my calendar.
I am so new at this that I'm not sure how to export it if anywone should wwant it som be nice now .
Export it and you got one download already
even though i think you are using second generation look...Live long and prosper
Same here! BTW, what icon pack do you use?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Icons and .zip
Here is the .zip for the theme. I hope that all the widgets and wallpapet etc. is included.
The icons are all custom made. I also include the .psd I use as a template for the icons.
The .psd was too big, I can give an dropbox-link if you want it, just send me the email in a private message.
Thanks
