Samsung reveals more details about Themes feature for new and upcoming Galaxy devices

After calling UI designers to work with them on Themes for the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge, Samsung has revealed more details about its Theme Service on its official blog for developers. According to Samsung, the Theme Service is a combination of three things – device framework for theme customization, a theme editor, and a global store where these themes will be listed.

Samsung Galaxy Theme Service

According to Samsung, the new theme editor is an easy to use tool, and doesn’t require any prior experience in software development. It supports drag-and-drop functionality, and then developers can instantly preview key screens to check how the themes would look when applied on to a device. The tool also provides information about the size of images and suggests developers to use optimised files to make themes lighter and more efficient. Theme developers can then upload the APK directly to the Theme Store for free or with a certain fee for each theme.

With the help of the new theme editor, designers and developers can modify the following things in the supported devices.

  • 1. Lock screen
  • 2. Home screen background
  • 3. Application icons
  • 4. Notification pop-ups
  • 5. Backgrounds and elements for 14 pre-installed basic applications – Phone, Contacts, Messages, Email, Music, Video, Calculator, Alarm/Clock, S Planner, Smart Manager, Settings, Memo, My files, and Voice recorder
  • 6. Sounds – screen touch sound, dial keypad tone, keyboard sound, hardware key sound, and cancel button sound.
  • 7. Fonts – number font and clock font

Note: Sounds for ringtone, alarm, and notification will be supported in the future.

Samsung Galaxy Theme Store Participation ProcessSamsung has also explained the process to participate in making and distributing themes for compatible devices. With support for more devices coming in, it will be a good opportunity for designers and developers to make themes for support Galaxy devices.
