This project is a sample theme for Nova Launcher that can covers:

  1. AndroidManifest
  2. Automatic App Icon Theming
  3. Manual App Icon Theming
  4. Dock Background Theming
  5. Wallpapers

AndroidManifest


Nova Launcher identifies themes by searching for activities that can respond to thecom.novalauncher.THEME intent.

This is done by adding the following below an tag in your AndroidManifest.xml

     android:name="com.novalauncher.THEME" />

Automatic App Icon Theming

Applying an icon theme (Nova Settings > Look and Feel > Icon Theme) will replace app icons with the icons specified in the theme. Optionally, new app icons can be automatically generated using a background, foreground, scale and mask.

Configuration for this is done in the theme's res/xml/appfilter.xml .
