Elecite’s latest theme design, called Analog, is a mixture of sharp black backgrounds and shimmery chrome accents.

I got an email last night from Peter about Elecite’s latest theme release Opus. In actuality I was a little surprised as this look tends to differ from the stuff Elecite usually puts out. A rich, dark tapestry like background with an almost dual screen type concept…definitely an eye-catcher. I myself tend to like less [...]

However, it’s definitely a theme worth checking out. Bright green backgrounds, a huge time box in the middle. Customizable icons throughout the home screen. An [...]
