Android themes are in a transitional period. In the old days, you basically had to root your phone if you wanted to change things like your settings menu colors or make the Google Play Store dark. Today, many OEMs support system-wide theming with dedicated theme stores. You can also use Material You on newer versions of Android to theme your setup without any additional apps required.

KWGT and KLWP are two of the most popular theming apps out there right now. KWGT is a custom widget maker. It features a ton of various features to make the widgets that you want. The app has support for Google Fit, most sensor data, weather, and even stuff like custom-made countdown timers. It also has Tasker support for even more functionality. KLWP is a live wallpaper maker. It features a WYSIWYG editor that lets you create as you see fit. It also shares many features with KWGT. These are excellent for Android themes. There is also KLCK Kustom Lock Screen if you want to go even further and add a lock screen into the mix.
Rooted devices have a lot more theming options than non-rooted devices. Those who dare break the warranty and go rogue have a ton of options, including Xposed Framework for various UI tweaks, Substratum and Synergy for overlay themes, and some custom ROMs allow for various theming elements as well. This is one of the few good reasons left to root your device because it lets you dig into the system instead of being locked out like a normal, non-rooted device. We have Substratum linked up, but you may have to do some digging to find all of the various options for a rooted device.
Because the styles in the values/styles.xml file are available for all versions, your themes in values-v21/styles.xml can inherit them. As such, you can avoid duplicating styles by beginning with a "base" theme and then extending it in your version-specific styles.
If you use a different wallpaper for your homescreen and lock screen, you'll notice your lock screen wallpaper doesn't influence your Material You palette options. However, elements that appear on your lock screen (like your clock) still use the themes from your homescreen. This can create interesting combinations, so don't be afraid to experiment.
In android, the style is defined in a separate XML resource file and we can use that defined style for the Views in XML that specifies the layout. The Styles in android are similar to CSS styles in web design.
In android, theme is a style that is applied to an entire activity or app, instead of an individual View like as mentioned above. When we applied a style as a theme, the views in activity or app apply to the all style attributes that supports. For example. If we apply TextviewStyle as a theme for an activity, then the text of all the views in activity appears in the same style.
In android, by using parent attribute in element we can inherit the properties from an existing style and define only the attributes that we want to change or add. We can inherit the styles that we created ourselves or from the styles that are built into the platform.
The TextviewStyle.Blue.Background style will inherit the properties from TextviewStyle and TextviewStyle.Blue styles and it will add a new android:background attribute.

When Samsung released its Android Pie-based software called One UI, we were big fans of its focus on one-handed ease of use and system-wide dark theme. Furthermore, unlike Android Pie builds for other devices, Samsung didn't disable installing custom overlays in One UI. Sadly, around the time of the Galaxy S10 launch, Samsung merged the changes blocking custom overlays used by the Substratum theme engine. Fortunately, the Projekt team found a workaround. They have created a new app called Synergy to install themes on Samsung Galaxy phones running One UI, and it doesn't need root.
Themes on One UI have been possible for a bit of time now with Custom Themes Install for OneUI. This app would let you install themes that were compiled for the Samsung theme store and made specifically for this app. It's very useful but doesn't give the same type of flexibility as Synergy. Synergy lets you import themes directly from Substratum Lite and the aforementioned custom themes.
Not every theme will support this at launch, luckily the Projekt team worked with some theme developers on getting their themes working ahead of time. There are just a few listed below, but there are many more.
It's super easy to install Substratum themes on One UI devices using Synergy. It allows for so much more customization compared to the Samsung Theme Store or even those pre-packaged themes. This should work on any Samsung Galaxy device running One UI, so it's not limited to just the latest versions. That includes the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10, and multiple A series smartphones that have received the update.
Compose libraries are used across our components, their default themes, and renderers that define how the components are drawn on the screen. Chat Provider applies the default themes to all components that make references to them. This happens at the start of every app built with PubNub Chat Components for Android.
Light and dark themes, same as in Jetpack Compose, are defined in components by providing different pairs of colors (primary, secondary, etc.) that are used respectively in light and dark themes of your app (the so-called LightColorPalette and DarkColorPalette).
With Material Theme supporting the implementation of PubNub Chat Components for Android implementation, we defined how each of our components should look and behave. For this purpose, we created separate themes for each component and default renderers that specify how these components behave in a final app.
You can see all default component themes in specific component folders in the chat-components-android repository. Each component folder contains a theme file (like TypingIndicatorTheme.kt) and a renderer file under the renderer folder (like TypingIndicatorRenderer.kt with its default implementation specified in DefaultTypingIndicatorRenderer.kt).
icon references IconTheme and overrides the IconThemeDefaults theme for an icon. Apart from default themes for components, we also provide the default themes for common objects used across multiple components, such as buttons, icons, shapes, or texts. See all of them defined in the common folder. In this example, the typingIndicator function uses the IconThemeDefaults theme for the icon but overrides the importance hierarchy of the Material Theme primary color for the tint to medium using the ContentAlpha object from Jetpack Compose.
You can do the same to override the default values for the default element themes and customize values for such elements as buttons, icons, or shapes. See the common folder for the list of all available themes.
To share colors and font styles throughout an app, use themes.You can either define app-wide themes, or use Theme widgetsthat define the colors and font styles for a particular partof the application. In fact,app-wide themes are just Theme widgets created atthe root of an app by the MaterialApp.

Here you can see my Android Studio window and a demo application is running. In Android Studio, there are three default themes available i.e. Intellij Light, Dracula, and High Contrast. To change default themes go to File and click on Settings.
Under the Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance, you will find Theme. Choose the right theme from the drop-down and click on Apply and then Ok. Here you can see the background and color scheme for all three themes.
Here you can see a lot of different themes and select one and download it, after downloading you can apply these themes to your IDE and these downloaded themes will be available in your default themes collection.
From sports to sparkles, your phone or tablet has a theme for every style. You can customize the themes, wallpapers, and icons on your device to fit your tastes. A theme can also change the color design for Contacts, Messages, Settings, and the Quick settings panel, so your device can truly be your own. And if you have Samsung account, you can even download themes or icons you've already purchased on another device.
