While it defaults to a frosted glass theme, you can also color your tiles from the palette provided. Once you've selected your desired tiles, you can re-theme them with the painter's palette icon. You hit the plus at the bottom of the grid to add new tiles, including widgets, and you can change the theme of more than one tile by long-pressing one and selecting the double green arrows, which is not Done, but rather multi-tile editing. It looks a little unintuitive at first glance, it's actually pretty easy to get the hang of.
While there are several versions, many bearing W8 or W10 tag somewhere in their title, the tile-based launcher I'd recommend is SmartHome 2. Now, as Microsoft chose not to give us a Windows 10-style launcher for Android, we must turn to third-party launchers. What it does have is a simple setup that is easy to familiarize yourself with and easy to lightly customize, but Arrow lacks more granular controls. Arrow also doesn't support individual custom icons, which is a double bummer, but the icons included in the pack will look nice. I would recommend square icon packs like Stark or Minimal UI to bring maybe a touch of the tile motif back to Microsoft's launcher. The brightness bar doesn't play well with Adaptive Brightness, telling you to turn it off before manually adjusting the brightness, but otherwise works well.Īs a themer, I feel obligated to tell you that Arrow doesn't do icon masks properly, which is a bummer for any unthemed icons you may have, especially on your home screen. Arrow is a launcher that uses a lot of gestures, most notably the swipe up on the dock for an Apple-style control bar containing two rows of apps (nine apps plus the drawer shortcut), some basic setting toggles, and a brightness bar.
