The 3D Underwater Dynamic Turtle Theme is amazing!

PS4's custom themes are hilariously atrocious

The "Little Big Planet 3" theme on PS4 is pretty decent!
I miss the Sony themes on PS3 though :-(
I used to like the seasonal ones like the Halloween & Christmas ones!

I couldn't stand these crappy themes/avatars littering the New This Week page, so I found a way to hide stuff from garbage publishers.
So this is how the PS4 themes page looks like now...

I would pay for having the default theme with the automatic colour change (based on daily hour and month) like the PS3 one, and be able to change the app background colour, because is always blue and don't fit with every theme...
Being able to change the music would be fantastic too.
Sony needs to work a lot in UI customization. Is good at this moment, but it could be really really good

I'm currently using Space Walk. I kind of like the look of space behind the icons.
When you buy Metal slime PS4, they give you a voucher code for the Dragon Quest Heroes game + that custom theme. So unless you get the code from someone who bought Metal Slime PS4, the only way to get the code is by buying metal slime PS4.

The corn wallpaper is avaible on Eu or is a fake? I really think is delicious.
I love spiral, I actually use the Far Cry tiger, is static but is not bad

I loved the PS Christmas knitware one.
All the themes are ugly, they ruined the 20th anniversary one with all the floating icons. I tried a few then just went back to the stock theme and change the colour every once in a while (needs more colours too).
The main problem with themes is soon as you enter any application or menu it just goes back to the stock blue anyway so whats the point? It's not really a theme its just a wallpaper.

Hope they are doing something with the tomorrow children.

the corn-thing looks great, but i have to be strong and not get it. i would never start a game again and just watch it.

Seems like that has to be set by the theme maker. The spiral one changes those menus to red and another one to grey (I think the CoD one?).
Though yeah, they should just give us the same options we had on PS3.
I love my Toro theme though. It looks and sounds as if you are playing Mainichi issho on your PS4!

I love the 20th Anniversary theme, but only for the nostalgic start up sound
now if we could use that sound on any theme.....well i'd change it in a heart beat

How the hell was Virtual Burger given access to develop themes over you???
In any case, I hope we get some news on that front soon. Really enjoyed your PS3 work

Thanks to everyone who posted the FF14 theme here, I had no idea about it, and while I would love custom themes like on the PS3, this is the next best thing!
This is available for PS4? Where? I can't find it on the PS store.
EDIT JP store only. Downloaded and enjoying. Thanks to those who posted. I had a similar theme for my PS3, so not entirely new, but much better than the ones we got for PS4 so far. Picked up the Far Cry 4 one while I was at it.
They're not great overall, especially the drawings created by independent developers. Not really a fan of branded third party themes. The Sony ones are decent but Rectangular is jaggy and the music for Spiral is a bit much for an OS. Still waiting for a combination of background/icons/music/effects that hits for me, would spend money if one did.
On the other hand, 3DS themes are better than I thought they'd be. Nice variety on the store right now, classy designs and some really catchy original themes and remixes.

I'm counting on the strategy-guide-exclusive (lame) Bloodborne theme to save my PS4 from this tripe.
Hopefully they release a theme that's available to everyone in the EU/US.

I mentioned this when these terrible themes came up before...
This means that Sony have released their 'Theme Builder' to some extent to 3rd party companies. So if it's in the hands of these people that have the design taste of a caveman, surely there are more capable designers who have hold of it as well?

This reminds me that I haven't even looked at the Life is Strange theme yet, I'll install and get a screenshot.
I remember having a sunset dynamic theme on the PS3 and one with a River. Those not only felt quite relaxing to see on TV before or after a gaming session but they also gave me a nice clean look to my space.
I hope I can find a similar dynamic theme like those soon, in the EU Store (or at least my own) is still a bit empty.

What?
Sony should get this company to do the PS4 theme for that upcoming David Jaffe game then.
Oh come on. The X1 actually allows you to use your own images, and control which games you see in the pinned area. The PS4 UI is an absolute garbage nightmare compared to the ability to name and sort things on the PS3.
We've gone so far back with the PS4's UI. I thought we'd get better stuff after a year or so, but I'm starting to get worried it'll always be a stupid line of recently used things.

Looks even better in motion -- like your UI is drifting in space. Best of all it's non-intrusive and won't bleed into the foreground like some themes. Really enjoying it.
Yes please. Hopefully we'll get customizable system music with background streaming. The thought of hearing the OG Cosmos theme every time I turn on my PS4 fills me with so much joy.
