Android is one customizable platform that allows core visual elements of the operating system to be replaced with third-party applications. This particular feature is most evident in various launcher applications that one can find on Google Play. Right from the home page to widgets, from the icons to the fonts, from application drawer to screen contrast everything can be customized as and how a user finds fit for them. If we can pool some Android users, one can definitely locate a big difference in the manner in which each of their phone looks and function and also acts and feels. One of the most reliable and high-performance launchers gets a strong mention here, and it is “Nova Launcher.”

However, one thing that Nova Launcher does not have is a “Themes” section. But, Nova Launcher comes with a built-in capability to design and develop customizable themes. A wide variety of themes can be made using the features available, and we look at some of the best themes that can be designed:
