The Soft Green Home Screen

The Soft Green Home Screen

Android: We feature a lot of bold, if harsh home screens here. This design, courtesy of My Color Screen user Jobe1785 goes for a calmer look, with easy-on-the-eyes translucent panels and lightweight icons.

The design features four buttons along the bottom that change function based on which home screen you’re on. On the weather screen, they become a forecast. On the music screen, they’re player controls. On the main screen, they’re shortcuts for commonly used apps.

This home screen is yet another custom design for the Themer app on Android. While the main My Color Screen download link seems to have a bug, you can download the .zip for this theme here. To install it:

  1. Move the .zip to sdcard0 > MyColorScreen > Themer > Exported > zip (Your initial location may vary.)
  2. Open Themer and browse for themes.
  3. Under “My Themes” select “Exported.”
  4. Choose “soft green.zip”

Do you have an awesome, tweaked-into-oblivion home or lock screen of your own that you’d like to share? Post it in the comments below, or on your own Kinja blog with the tag “home screen showcase” (no quotes). Be sure to include a description of how you made it so we can feature it as the next featured home screen.
