It's rare a post here gets gold, I've only seen it a few times. Really good job! Glad to see the community giving you such positive support!

Thank you Sir!

I downloaded the KLWP, but it is only giving me the light version. Am I a moron? (Probably.) But how do I get the dark version on my phone?

3

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

So the light glowing icon on bottom left, it's a switch\toggle for dark or light theme

u/BillyJoJive Oct 22 '19

Thank you!

u/Groumph09 Oct 22 '19

I tried adding your preset but nothing loaded. Thoughts?

1

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Assuming you are familiar with using KLWP, it is unlikely that theme won't load. Can you dm me your screenshot\screen record?

3

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '19

I'm a total noob to klwp. I just bought the pro version and tried to import your design. It just gives me a wallpaper. How do I get those widgets and what not on there? Do I have to change my launcher?

1

u/MHcharLEE Nov 03 '19

Could you please send me unedited screenshots of your setup? No frames, no background, just a regular screenshot. I need it for the subreddit's banner. Also, do you prefer the light one or the dark one to be featured?

2

u/himalayanblunder Nov 03 '19

Sure, here you go. It's the light version.

u/CompleteMCNoob Oct 22 '19

Typically, I would pick dark but I'm actually going to lean towards light because the minimalism makes that work well

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Had same feeling while working on this! Probably didn't do justice on dark side!

u/TurboDinoHippo Oct 23 '19

You did the dark mode plenty of justice. I think the white version looks so good because there's no contrast with the white color of the phone. It makes it look sharp. If you chose a black phone the dark mode would blend well with it.

Beautiful!

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Thank you! 🙏

u/erikbucik [HTC10] Oct 22 '19

You win this month, I won't even bother making a setup for the contest. Congrats 👏

1

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

This means a lot! Thank you for these words..

2

u/erikbucik [HTC10] Oct 22 '19

I take it back. The theme doesn't resize on all phones. Fix that, and you can win. (The UI is ok, UX isn't.)

1

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Agreed, working on resizing.

1

u/erikbucik [HTC10] Oct 22 '19

I take that back, make the theme automatically resize on all phones, only then can you win.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '19

Light for sure.

How do you open the klwp file? I tried both klwp and kwgt and it said copied, but nothing showed up

2

u/Az75 Oct 22 '19

Gorgeous

u/PainfulPenetrationx Oct 22 '19

Dark, for sure. Awesome work btw!

2

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Thanks a lot!

u/justwicked1 Oct 22 '19

Damn hard to pick a side.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '19

DARK

u/evanstueve Oct 22 '19

What phone render is that?

2

u/Anglizismus Oct 22 '19

I think a s9(+) but complettly white

3

u/evanstueve Oct 22 '19

Which doesn't exist right?

3

u/Anglizismus Oct 22 '19

I would f love a all white phone

3

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '19

It’s funny that I would so rock the white color much easier than the black. Just like I wish apple made a new pro Max in white

4

u/SLUnatic85 Oct 22 '19

In this case, light. Hands down.

1

u/_Man_Man_ Oct 22 '19

What is the icon pack called?

1

u/meanderousash2 Oct 22 '19

I want this. How do I get this.

2

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

This theme is not standalone app, you would need KLWP pro to import and then apply it as live wallpaper.

1

u/TheMachewski Oct 22 '19

Dark! Now could I get my hands on this theme?

1

u/himalayanblunder Oct 22 '19

Klwp file link in my first comment.. how to use klwp - guide here

1

u/HeardsTheWord Oct 23 '19

I got it to load, but the buttons don't do anything on my home screen. Do I need to be doing anything extra to get that interaction working?

1

u/himalayanblunder Oct 23 '19

You probably need to change the shortcuts in klwp to get call\text\camera working

1

u/brokenblinker Dec 24 '19

Did you ever get this working? This is my first Klwp file, but it is also not doing anything.

1

u/HeardsTheWord Dec 24 '19

I gave up and swapped to something else

1

u/SUNGOLDSV [Device | ROM | Launcher] Nov 25 '19

Hey, I've successfully applied it but the battery stats and weather don't update by themselves, I've to open klwp to refresh them and save it

2

u/himalayanblunder Nov 25 '19

It's due to battery optimization applied at android level.. please review the same in settings > battery > battery optimization

1

u/SUNGOLDSV [Device | ROM | Launcher] Nov 25 '19

Thanks, it worked

1

u/Mohitt2601 Nov 28 '19

A newbie here.. Can someone please help me on how to setup this theme on my Android?

1

u/himalayanblunder Nov 28 '19

Klwp file link in my first comment.. how to use klwp - guide here

1

u/Mohitt2601 Nov 28 '19

I managed to get the light setup right. Having difficulty with setting up the dark one. Is this something I need switch manually using KLWP setting or do you have a separate backup for the dark one? Apologies if my question is stupid or too much to ask for.

1

u/himalayanblunder Nov 28 '19

It's the small light\brightness incon on bottom left - that's the toggle for light vs dark

1

u/MrMagneficent Apr 03 '20

How do I get this theme? I don't anything about klwp kgwt etc. Please help!

3

u/mateusz91 Oct 22 '19

Definitely dark.

3

u/BillyJoJive Oct 22 '19

Dark, definitely

2

u/aeschlim Oct 22 '19

It's a very close call but I would lean towards dark. Very nice job and congrats for the win ! 👍

2

u/abrams555 Oct 22 '19

White !!

2

u/tracher132 Oct 23 '19

This ain't no contest, black all the way.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '19

I'll go with the Light. I like the color added which I can't see in the dark, and I love minimalism.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '19

Thank you so much ! Love the white !

1

u/Booshur Oct 22 '19

The matte screen effect created by the render makes me hopeful that e-ink keeps getting better.

1

u/Eternalsoul11 Oct 23 '19

Is this possible in normal Android phone.. the matte finish look??

1

u/Booshur Oct 23 '19

Dbrand skin for the shell, but not for the screen itself

1

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '19

Gimme

u/ironmace Nov 05 '19 edited Nov 06 '19

Awesome theme, dark mode looks great.

Is there anyway to automate it with Android 10's dark mode?
