Samsung appears to have confirmed to
Reddit user that Themes tool enabling
users to create and share customised
themes will be rolling out to the new
flagship Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphon
in April.
While replying to Gedankenreich,
Samsung's developer support team
suggested that the theme "authoring too
for the Galaxy S6 is not open yet."
Adding further, the team claimed that th
Samsung My Theme page that currently
includes theme tools for Galaxy Note 4,
Galaxy A5 , and Galaxy A7 China models
will only be refreshed in April, adding the
Samsung Galaxy S6 to the list.
The Reddit post by Gedankenreich said, "
was quite unhappy with the situation th
many reviews mentioned the theme
support, but nobody had an idea if,
when and how 3rd parties will be able to
create and distribute their own. So I
mailed to their developer support and go
a few hours later a reply. So there will be
a new tool for the international S6 that
should get released in April."
As of now, there is not much clarity on
whether the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
will also receive the theme tools feature.
Though, considering that both (Galaxy
S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge) come with
similar innards as well as features, we
can expect that the theme tool might als
be released for the dual-edge display
smartphone.
It's worth noting that both the Samsung
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge feature a
pre-installed Themes tool that includes
limited number of theme options that
change visual elements of interface
including colours, icons, and wallpapers
depending on the selected theme. The
Theme tool however doesn't allow a user
to create a customised theme, or browse
and download third-party themes.
We will have to wait till April to see what
new customisation options does the
Themes tool offer to users.
