Theme Customizer

Long long time ago… or just some time before my leave I’ve reviewed Black Plastic Theme Pack for N900, which was first major step to theme customization. This time I’d like to present Theme Customizer – another way to change default (or theme specific) fonts, sizes and colours. Let’s begin the next chapter in personalization and customization…

If you remember the Plastic Theme, it gave opportunity to change few aspects of theme, like global font size (relative from base), desktop shortcuts background visibility or colour theme. This time range of settings is a bit wider. Just have a look at the screenshots, you can adjust every colour of user interface yo your needs, change global font size, pick icon theme from available sets, turn icon backgrounds on or off or size of grid for homescreen elements snapping. But the thing I really like in this customizer is changing size for homescreen icons and web bookmarks, perfect for using with thick fingers. After all of this changes, just like in case of Plastic, there is need to reboot the phone.

The nicest option I’ve found is changing backgrounds for few system applications on the fly, without need to reboot. You can change it for clock, application manager, media player and lock screen, easy way to make your theme more system-wide or put your favourite picture everywhere you can on your N900.

Right now I have already pretty well customized Nokia N900, but as I say ‘customization never ends’. I’ve already seen few nice things to have, but this is something for next time and one of upcoming evenings.
