How Themer can refresh your Android home screen (pictures)

The Themer app for Android can give Android phones' home screens anything from an uncluttered austerity to over-the-top techno detail. Here's a sampling of the app's themes.

He has a soft spot in his heart for standards groups and I/O interfaces. His first big scoop was about radioactive cat poop.

Themer default screen

When you hit the home button on your Android phone, Themer asks you if you want to use its launcher. You can set it to be default, and if you don't like it, you can go back to the regular Android home screen.
