This is why Samsung is making it easier to keep a unique and aesthetically pleasing, UI using themes for the Galaxy Note 8.

What are themes? These are pre-designed designs that can change your wallpaper, icons, sounds, AOD (Always On Display) images and more. They are made to run and transition smoothly, making for a seamless customized experience, as opposed to a chopped up mess. Want to learn how to install a theme on your Galaxy Note 8?
