But creating the most striking and novel Android interface is a baffling chore. Take a look at the many 'how to tutorials' on Youtube, where Android theme designers — or themers , as they are known — offer step-by-step instructions so you can replicate their handiwork.
A new app, Themer, hopes to bring Android customization to the masses. Users download Themer, which is free, and immediately have a library of smartphone themes, any of which can be installed with a single click of a button.
Hit "apply", and your phone could, for instance, have the 'In A Row' theme, which is a column of white lettering against a black background, with fonts in the style of a hip restaurant menu.
There is a 'Grand Theft Auto' theme, a 'Game of Thrones' theme, and even one that uncannily recreates the look of iOS 7, in case for some reason, you want the iPhone look on your Android device.
To anyone who's ever tried the long-way route to installing such labour-intensive designs, Themer feels like a magic trick.
