Ps4 can you download custom themes

We will be using the theme creator first, this will set up thing for you and its very simple to use. You start a new theme by going to file and it will prompt you to name the new theme you are working on. Then you just drag and drop the pictures you would like to use into each icon. To get to the rest of the icons, use the mouse, click and hold it on one of the icons and move the mouse back and forward. You can even make your own sounds for your theme but for now, we are just going to cover the basics of making a PS4 theme.

The other icons you can change will be on the function preview tab at the bottom left-hand corner of the theme creator. Then add a theme icon to it and hit the create theme button. Sony, surely realizing this, made it pretty easy to get new themes onto your PS4, and subsequently swap them in to replace the dull, blue old one.

To access the part where you actually change your theme, go to Settings on the top menu, then scroll down to Themes.

All are soft and inoffensive, but admittedly have their relaxing qualities. This will open up the gallery of images you have saved on your hard drive, allowing you to make one of your in-game masterful snaps into a permanent, static wallpaper for your home screen. There are a whopping 5, to choose from, after all. Of course, we should also mention that there are various unofficial sources from which you can also get PS4 themes.

If you have yet to venture into this particularly hellish portion of the PlayStation Store, it's where you can purchase alternate appearances for your PS4's home screen.

Some just alter the background images; others are dynamically animated, modify the appearance of icons and add custom music. I've searched through the themes on the PlayStation Store a couple of times in the hopes of giving my home screen a makeover, but found it largely a wasteland of strange, low-quality stock images.

I nabbed a gorgeous Firewatch theme when the game first came out and haven't looked back since. That is until I saw this tweet of a PS4 theme featuring skeletons dancing in some sort of tropical paradise to jaunty Latin music.

In that moment, I knew I needed to know more. Who develops these themes? You can use screenshots from in-game and turn them into backgrounds. Your screenshot will be saved in the Capture Gallery, so simply choose the screenshot your want to set as your theme.
