Thanks for the info. Yeah I know you can switch fonts, and I thought about switching it to Roboto Regular already, but Samsung doesn't allow user-created font APKs anymore without root and there's no official Roboto FlipFont apk. All of the Roboto apks I've tried so far all fail (they install and even preview correctly, but are rejected when you hit apply. Probably DRM). Official fonts work but I'll just deal with the default Roboto family for now...

I also found out today that phone calls no longer seem to be themed. The dialer app is themed, but when you are actually in a call that doesn't look themed anymore, both during the call and at the brief post-call screen. Is that something you can fix or yet another thing Samsung has taken away?

One more thing - I think your clock icon is outdated. It looks completely flat without any shadows, I believe there's a newer Google Clock icon that conforms to Material Design.
- I didn't know that about the fonts on Nougat (I haven't played with it too much yet). Good to know.

- Unfortunately they removed the option to change the in-call UI background, we just get the picture they picked for whatever reason. I'm hoping they change this in the future.

- My Clock icon is a live icon and therefore can't have shadows that follow the material design guidelines.

I really like your material dark theme, it has immediately become my default theme when my S7 got the nougat update.

I think Samsung really messed up some design decisions:
first of all the colors, the thing that annoys me most is the light blue in the statusbar (wtf?) :D
And then there's the messaging app and settings with very non-material-like colors
Also the font is a condensed one, where i definitely would prefer the the "normal" roboto.

I have a few suggestions for your theme:
  • Lockscreen icons: since the samsung stock icons are used everywhere else in the system it's a bit strange that the lockscreen icons for camera and phone app are MM ones.
  • Color palette in messaging app: I would love to see more colors there - as imho the conversation list looks a bit boring with all green icons
  • Notification background: not sure if you can change that, but i would prefer a dark gray background over the white one for this theme

Anyways, thanks for providing those themes for us, i think they look great! :)

Alright guys, my dark Pixel-inspired theme is live! It is called PixelizeD and is available here:

http://www.samsung.com/global/themestore/index.html?appId=com.cambunch.PixelizeD&SITE_CODE=in

The standard version needs to be re-uploaded (I made one small mistake in it, whoops! :D) and will probably be another week or so.
I cant find the theme.. I searched for it in the store and nothing. I also followed the link and it says that the item is not available yet. Any ideas? Im in the US btw.

It is only available for Nougat at the moment. I have to back port it to other OSes. Give me a few weeks to get it out to you guys.
