For that sleek custom launcher
Themer is a new custom launcher that completely transforms the visual interface of your device
It is extremely simple to get started with Themer. All you have to do is pick a theme and tap on “Apply”. It just takes seconds to download the theme and your phone is transformed instantly into something that is a far cry from your typical Android interface. The themes on Themer are not like other launcher themes. The others just skin your icons and change your system font, but Themer’s themes wipe everything off your home screen and put up their own interface and layout.
You end up with a home screen that look sleek and is completely in sync. Most themes, however, offer no flexibility in customisation. You will not be able to add icons, widgets, or convenient toggles without disturbing the balance. So, you will have to decide – are you looking for a theme that’s beautiful, functional, and convenient? Or would you sacrifice functionality and convenience for drop-dead gorgeous? If you’re the latter type of user, Themer is for you.
But it is not as harsh as it sounds. It offers a lot of flexibility and customisation in design to designers. Most Themer designers try to make their themes a little functional with weather, clock, and music widgets, and shortcuts to app categories and frequently-used features such as messages, email, and the camera.
If you are not a designer, you can tweak Themer functionality by tapping and holding anywhere on the home screen background. You will then get Themer’s menu, from where you browse themes, adjust settings, and also play with widgets.
Even though it is quite customisable, it is extremely useful for the lazy who like the look of a stylised custom launcher. The themes are very well thought out and once you find the one you want, you can easily impress your friends with your Android knowledge!
