[Q] What actually IS a theme?

[Webern]

As far as I can tell, on my Z3 at least, it means "wallpaper". Nothing else. All the icons look the same on the stock themes, just the wallpaper and perhaps the colour of some text in the settings. What can you actually customise by using a theme? Is there somewhere where there is gathered a bunch of screenshots showing what can be achieved/downloaded?

for included in stock rom, it changes system themes color (base,accent,etc) & wallpaper.
for latest 3rd party (maybe paid themes) they already have covered many ui components for LP.

this for instance

ok, thanks. I looked mainly at stock, and a few third party ones which didn't change all that much.

Those themes were built for KK firmware, not LP, that's why they aren't working like they worked on KK.

I had a theme applied when I updated to Lollipop.
The phone has kept all the icons from the theme
