Windows Phone Launcher/Theme

Question

I want to ask that is there way for creating Themes or Launcher for windows phone.Because when i search over the internet it leads me to the launcher and pickers (Browser launcher, Contact Picker) etc. i have created several themes for windows 7+ which are working fine and now i want to create same for the windows phone. All i need is to change the default icons,sounds,background images . If windows phone does not have such facilities then you can also tell me if this can be done pragmatically.

Any help is Appreciated.Thanks

Answer 1

Actually Microsoft do not provide core accessibility (OS level access) to 3rd party developers. That's the reason why Themes can not be developed for windows phone.

So, answer to your question is NO, you can't develop Themes for Windows Phone

alternative through Launchers

I saw 2-3 apps in wp store which was nicely programmed to run like a Theme.

• make an app in which you use all available In-built OS reserved launchers and Settings launchers. check This Link & This Link for detailed info on Launchers available.
• After making this kind of Launcher app, provide user with a tutorial screen in which ask user to set this app (only this app) in Apps Corner and then Launch the apps Corner.

To experience this live, i suggest look This Application

Hope this will help..!
