Cell Phone Themes

From LoveToKnow Cellphones

What exactly are cell phone themes? Well, they're just another way to customize that mobile handset that you carry around with you on a daily basis, except they aim not to change the physical appearance of the cell phone itself, but rather the user interface and other software-based changes. In other words, it's not a flashy antenna, a new leather pouch, or a crystal-encrusted case or skin. Cell phone themes are complete packages that offer a whole slew of customized content, sometimes even including some fun cell phone games too!

What Do You Get in a Cell Phone Theme

So what exactly is included when you download (or purchase) a cell phone theme? Well, it depends largely on the source of this bundle and on the cell phone that it will be uploaded onto. In general, though, these themes are composed of a few key ingredients to give you that perfect personalized touch, separating your RAZR from every other skinny flip phone on the market, for example. All of these components "fit together", so to speak, so that the image of Superman on your screen matches with the Superman theme music coming out of your phone's speakers.

Ringtones

Each mobile phone comes pre-loaded with a few different ringtones, but these can get pretty boring pretty fast. That's why you may be interested in the customized ringers that often come as part of cell phone themes. Whether your phone is compatible with just polyphonic ringtones or MP3 "real" tones, you will likely find that special alert sound that'll fit your personality.

Wallpaper

Regardless of whether you enjoy superheroes, cartoon characters, funky graphics, or trendy celebrities, you want your cell phone to reflect your personal tastes and preferences. A key part of this customization is the wallpaper, or the picture that serves as the background on your mobile phone's main screen. When you get a cell phone theme, they will almost always come with a special wallpaper (or two, or three) that you can use.

Icons

Just as there are various themes and skins available for Microsoft Windows and other computer programs, the same can be said for certain cell phones. This is particularly true for certain smartphones. In this way, the icon or logo associated with your call history, calendar, calculator, settings, and so forth in the cell phone's main menu can mesh with the overall theme you will have running on your handset.

Color Scheme

Some themes are dark and foreboding, while others may be light and cheery. It wouldn't make sense to have brightly colored icons and upbeat music accompanying that Goth-inspired wallpaper and Marilyn Manson ringtone, now would it? As such, certain cell phone themes also come with preset color schemes. What this means is that when you access any part of the phone's menu system, for example, it will be painted in a certain color fitting of the overall mood and atmosphere created by the theme.


Where to Find Free Cell Phone Themes

While you can purchase quite a variety of cell phone themes through your favorite service provider (Verizon, T-Mobile, Rogers Wireless, etc.), there are also many websites on the internet that offer free cell phone themes. Zedge.net is particularly popular. For more on where to find free cell phone themes, check out the following articles:
