XPERIA™ Theme: Black for Android
@DeV_Team at least you should give some explanation. If you need to comply with ggl's lollipop material design, please tell users that concept of app has changed or continue in your ignorance and withdraw the app if it cannot deliver prior requirements to meet users' expectations.tx
The irony! I downloaded this months ago to have a black theme throughout & to get away from the default white/blue theme. All good. Just installed your update & now back to square one! Too much blue again! Shame on you! Give us a new update to change it Back to Black!!
Have you ever tried a black (true black though, not dark grey) and red kinda theme? Your panels can display a really nice, deep red. Why not make use of that? Oh, and please, add more screenshots of the theme itself.
I never comment, but this had to be said. This theme was so nice and clean before, which such an elegant finish. Now it's just ruined. I had change my theme because I'm getting blue instead of black. Developers should rename this theme or get it corrected.
Bring back the old BLACK is tried to not install this new update after other reviews, but no luck. The blue is sooooo annoying and the black is gone! Please issue the old version again. Used to be my favourite basic black theme!
Please change it back or give the option to download the original please. Everybody download Black theme for Z3. Theme eXp Black Z
Why it shows the blue while using the phone or messages it looks so awkward. I hve downloaded to keep all the tabs and background would b black... Pls chnge it to black.
I wanted black. Now download gives me white/grey background and blue menu colour. Had to download another proper black home screen. At least the window lag seems to have been fixed.
For those of you frustrated that this black theme is covered with light blue, go download Andrew Borodiy's Theme M Stock Turquoise. It actually has a very dark grey status bar.
After I finally managed to reinstall this app so it would work properly I'm getting more and more annoyed with this "smart" case. Apart from it's rather cheap look it doesn't even cover corners of the phone which are exposed to damages to higher extent. Big disappointment Sony
Why call it a black theme when this particular is not even present in the display? Instead it features blue and orange. Very disappointed
I really liked the black in this theme. But after updating there is too much blue in it (SMS, blue bar on top, contacts, etc...). This should be changed. Only positiv thing is the new background...
It's SONY... now no one will remember you as brand bcoz u have lost the trust i am paying so much money for such cheap flip cover bloody hell with u sony... Zero point from me...Sony see the covers for SAMSUNG and see ur u will feel shame...
The latest update, of course, breaks a working theme. Now all menu windows, messaging and settings are in a colour and everything else is black. Well done on terrible UAT.
Disliked the new (after update) theme so much. It's not black anymore. I rather say it's gray theme. Not clear quality and ugly!
I expect black interface, not BLUE!!! Kinda junk storing this on my phone. I hope you do it right.. Better uninstall this
The software worked for minutes then stopped working. Called Support line. They failed after several tries by them lasting nearly 30 minutes
Why change what was a great theme? Black and gold were awesome and it removed the annoying lollipop colours. This theme now is no different from the others
Hugely disappointed with this update. It's no longer black, it's grey. Please fix this ASAP. Also, I have a Z2 and the Style Cover Window isn't available for it, so why was this update made available for my phone in the first place? Plus I didn't actually confirm I wanted the update, it was done automatically - very irritating.
Really? Better before update check how it looks than update from 5 stars you are going down to 1 star. Bring back the original black black and you will get 5 stars again until that I'll use something else!
Used to work just fine (after the Lollipop
Yes, I'm giving it one out of five for the same reason as everyone else. Not because I dislike it that much - but because it should have been a different theme altogether. I know this change has to do with the Xperia Z5, but change just for the sake of change isn't always the right thing.
Instead of it I got a lot of blue stuff and other colors. And even the front page is not Black but rather dark grey. Please fix or make it possible to roll back to the previous version which was much more black than this one. For now I'm switching to the other theme
WHY IT'S NOT COMPLETELY BLACK? REMOVE THE BLUE LINE AT THE SETTING AND MAKE A PROPER BLACK THEME!!!
Also, why not make all system background black,instead of blinding, battery draining site?
Used to work perfectly now it crashes first time I close the cover after reconnecting, every time. Cover is pointless if app just crashes.
It's like ordering a rack of ribs and patiently waiting for it to be prepared, and then just after you start your meal the chef comes round and replaces it with some scaffolding. "Hang on a moment, this isn't exactly what I wanted anymore"
I was using it to get rid of the lollipop colors and get a visual similar to kitkat. NOW YOU DESTROYED IT, THANK YOU.
I think Sony hasn't put its software dev staff through the color-blindness test before hiring them for a job which requires color vision. Petty mistakes like these are ensuring Sony's inexorable slide into irrelevance.
Turns the notification bar, and other elements, bright Cyan. Not black. Which it previously was. This is about to be uninstalled, unless the next update restores the black theme. In the meantime, I recommend others to use the preinstalled "white" theme, as the dark grey it uses is better than most of the other themes for neutrality.
I'm not understanding the idea behind the turquoise accent in the theme. I would have gone with a light smoke grey instead, as this theme is supposed to be 'Black'.
Actually I don't like this new update, last update was the best why you change it so much and why in this new update we have a lot of green and blue, this theme is black theme not blue or green theme, I think you shouldn't change this theme so much
Used to be the perfect app for removing ugly Lollipop colours, but then this update splashed sky blue all over the place. Why???? A total customer killer. I can't roll back the update, so I've kept the app for the wallpaper but switched to another app for the main theme, one that's actually the black it claims to be.
Sony why have changed this theme? There was nothing wrong previous version. The colour is now grey. Please restore it back to black!!
Think its complrtely disabled after the 9/9/15 update. Can u please get rid of all the bright ugly electric blue.
Ever since it got the update it has lost all the black labels... There's blue status bar instead of black and many more... I fail to understand why it's named black... Please fix or downgrade, the previous version was better
Horrible update on all fronts. I can't find any positive thing about it. It was perfect with black and yellow, why change if it's not broken? Sometimes you wonder how people can get paid for such tasteless fixes like the last one.
Useless, not black, typically Sony nowadays. No options for white text on black background anymore so remember to carry a charger everywhere.. Sony's help forum run by trolls who keep the mods on short leashes so don't expect your dissent and complaints to be tolerated there either... Ggwp Sony you broke something that worked well again...
Hop nxt time U guyz not tryin "Black vid Pink" Whr evry smartphone makers r updating their "Softwares" to let work their products better n better..... Sony you are updatin "Nightmares" to make your product worst n worst. I knw I did a big mistake in buyin a Xperia C3, n M sorry fr dat kindly accept My Apology. Pls cn you start updating your Softwares, not Nightmares, I hv faith in U dat 1 day U'll b satisfying Ur custmrs not good bt atlst below average level or by average level.

Oh my god! People should learn something! We rate not according to our personal taste but if the app does what it says. So, I give 2 stars cause it states black and the accent color is actually blue!? Is that a joke? Please I love the new Xperia Z5 wallpapers and I really want to use this theme but it has to be black like in the precious version not blue!
