Themes For Smartphones - Have You Got One?

If you've been a smartphone user for even a short space of time

, you've likely heard about themes already, but even if you have already heard of them, you might not be fully aware of what they are, how they work, and how you can utilize them. Along with accessories, themes are probably the best way to customize your smartphone

When you install a theme, which is simple and easy to do, it can change the appearance of almost everything on your smartphone - the backgrounds, the screens, the home screen, the icons and even the menus. As with the theme system that Microsoft Windows uses, with a smartphone theme you are just one click away from a whole new look and feel - which is needed every now and again after looking at the same display day after day.

There's a range of unique themes available to suit your tastes and interests - some being free and needing to be paid for. You can find them by visiting online accessories and applications stores, where you will find hundreds to choose. Whatever you're looking for, you'll be able to find. From fun and quirky, to elegant and classy, everyone is catered for. On the other hand, if you consider yourself creative, why not create your own theme?

To create your own theme, you need to use a theme studio, which can be downloaded for free, and is easy enough to use. It lets you set which images get used for each part of the theme - like icons, background graphics and cursors. As well as choosing the images, it's where you can adjust the fonts, change the position of objects on the screen, and set what, if any, sounds and animations are used, and they when they play. All you need is some creativity and some skill with graphics software.

If you find making themes is something you like and are good at, then you can even make some extra money for yourself by selling your creations in online accessories and applications stores. If you're stuck for ideas on what to create, then just visit an online store that sells them, make some notes on the themes which are the bestsellers, combine the best elements of each, and then put your own spin on them.

So, to summarize, having a theme, especially one that you have created yourself, and some cool accessories, really helps make your smartphone truly your own.
