The emperor does have clothes: here are 23 of the best themes for the Galaxy S8 that you can download today!

Customization has been a major thing about Android since forever now. And while in the earlier days, users had to go to custom ROMs or specific launchers in order to change the way the app icons or specific UI elements look throughout, in recent years, a lot of manufacturers have launched their own theme stores and support for third-party themes.

Samsung has been on this bandwagon since the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge and, as can be expected, its theme store has slowly amassed quite a lot of items. You can download wallpapers, icon packs, background pictures for the Always-On Display feature, and complete theme packages.

Jumping in and trying to find a couple of choices to go for could be quite daunting or even off-putting. So, we thought we'd give you a head start with a small selection of some rather nice ones that we found.

Dark and basic

There's this love for dark wallpapers among users with the AMOLED display. While the energy savings may not be that extreme as legend once said, it still looks rather nice to gaze on a blacked-out AMOLED screen. Couple that with some minimalistic icons and we've got this category.

Colorful and fun

Your phone looking a bit too business-ey or dry for your taste? Well, there are plenty of themes that can amp its craziness level up a bit. Here are a few of the ones we liked:

Nature

There's nothing like a nice flower, a landscape, or piece of fruit to help you celebrate a long-awaited Spring. Here are some juicy themes we found:

Classic looks

And finally, maybe you are in the theme store simply because you want your UI to have a bit of a more classic look — not everyone is a fan of the Galaxy S8's wireframe icons. Let's take a look at a few themes that will help you feel a bit more at home.
