You know what was really cool? How anyone could freely create and distribute themes for the PS3 without being limited to what makes it onto PSN. Yeah, that was cool.
Cynicism aside, I really do hope that we see an influx of good themes in the coming months. I'm using the white rectangles one currently.

I like that one too, but it's WAY too bright. I can't really read white-on-almost-white text very well.
It also has better ambient music and sounds than the default. I wish it was darker (or adjustable).
That said, it sort of bugs me when you see it 'drop' in and out from the central theme, on boot and in menus, so I am just using the red waves theme for now, it provides a lovely contrast with the blue tiles.
That Destiny theme is super lazy IMO. They should have done a long shot of the Tower with ships coming and going, and the Traveller in the distance. In 3d.
I really liked that one too, especially with how little blocks fly over your menu items. Very cool that themes can do this, it gives them great depth.
But I found the music non-relaxing... so I recently switched to the Boat theme which is more pleasant to the ears.

I love the keytone sounds in the rectangle theme but I don't like the background all that much. Both CoD and Destiny were nice, can't wait for the Bloodborne theme with this as the BGM

It's not in the EU store, you have to get it from the US store but it's free.

I wish you could mix and match the wallpaper and menu music. I'd just like to have the dark grey flow background with the paper boat music. Or as someone else said, reduce the brightness of the rectangle theme. it's far too bright.
I tried doing that but the theme was region blocked.

I wish the destiny theme was a different background and different music.
I'd prefer the music just be the ambient noises of the tower, personally.

Are custom themes back in or do you have to buy officially released ones?

Weird, I'm in EU and I got it and the CoD theme from the Canadian store and both works.
There are no way to do custom themes, at least not at the moment.

I was using the Cube theme, but once I saw that the friends list, messages, and notifications screens change to the default background, I had to change it. The colored Flow themes are present everywhere, so I changed mine to black for now....
To me it's a minor, but major flaw in themes that breaks the "flow" of them.

Me too. But I prefer the sfx of the COD one. Except for the background music which is too intrusive.
This 100%
I find Sony aren't as nostalgic with past franchises or characters as they should be..

How to you get stuff from the USA store when in the UK/EU?
I love that theme, but a mostly white screen makes my plasma buzz really badly. I wish I could use that theme with the dark blue.

I miss how the background colors used to cycle month to month
Hopefully, Sony brings that feature back
Ditto. I'll probably stick with the default theme, just like I did with the PS3 all those years.
I don't understand why SCEE have been so hopeless with this. I downloaded themes from JP PSN in the end.

I just want more themes. I didn't expect the sounds to change. It was a really nice surprise.

Best theme ever. I just love going there in the morning and seeing it brown and then go back there in the evening and you still see some reminiscence of the brown and almost fading to black.I miss how the background colors used to cycle month to month
Hopefully, Sony brings that feature back
The colors changing with the season and time of day is just beautiful. Bring it back Sony, please
EDIT: And the sparkles? OMG those sparkles....

I wish we could change the background and the music separately. I like the music from the cube theme but the background is too bright for my liking. It's hard to see anything in the top left corner, white text on an almost white background never works.

Yeah just make another user on the ps4 and then create a U.S. account. I have a eu, us and jp account since PS3 launch have never had any issues with the console.

Yes yes yes. The rectangular theme is super clean and the sound is fresh. Highly recommended!

Agree with you. Reminds me of the PS2 main menu, the sound effects are nice and the music is just absolutely peaceful. I could fall asleep to that..

Is there anyway to view the themes before downloading them? I looked when I grabbed the paper boat one, but couldn't find anything (I could be blind).

I'd love to have the Vita theme (the music) on PS4. It's seriously addictive!

I honestly hadn't thought to turn the menu music off until I was installing themes and it became apparent there was menu music. Turned it off and haven't looked back, regardless of theme.
