UCCW widgets & themes
Archive
A look back at my early Android and graphic design work. Before the era of Material You and AI automation, I spent years deep in the Android modding scene — focused on making Android look and feel truly personal and helping users turn their phones into something unique.
Why It Exists
This page is a preserved snapshot of a very different Android design era. I keep this archive alive because these projects were my training ground — teaching me how to build for power users and how to design interfaces that actually mean something to the person using them.

2013-2014
Android's theming era
Highlights
Polygonal, dense, dashboardy.
Paired here with Lumino Square icons — the widgets were shaped like instrument readouts. Density was the whole point.
Rainbow tiles for people who like loud homescreens.
The opposite of subtle, on purpose. People who liked Candy really liked Candy — and the rest immediately knew it wasn't for them.
Minty fresh. Cool tones, soft edges.
A counterweight to Candy — same era, opposite mood. Mint was the one I'd put on my own phone for months at a time.
Keep calm and analog.
A clock first, a widget second. The kind of design that gets quieter the longer you look at it.
Andios
2013 · Theme pack
Android, but borrowing iOS's silhouettes.
A crossover I couldn't put down — I just wanted my homescreen to feel like it had a foot in both worlds.
An Ubuntu Touch tribute.
A bright, panel-driven experiment from the period where phone UI concepts were wildly different and very fun to remix.
Who doesn't like ribbons?
Paired with the MIcons set. Ribbons was the one where I started caring more about what to leave out than what to add in.
A dashboard for your homescreen.
I wanted to build a simple widget with all the most useful information in one place. Thus the dashboard was born.
Lumino Square
2013 · Icon pack
Dark, desaturated, monochrome by design.
Years before anyone was talking about dark mode, Lumino was already a tribute to muted palettes.
Homescreens, paginated.
Built around an obsession with stack metaphors. Each panel was its own page; flipping through felt like riffling a notebook.
Turn your homescreen into a magazine.
Full-bleed image tiles with overlay text, the way magazine grids looked online in 2010s.
Geometric shapes, playing with depth.
Built around diamond shapes and the fun of playing with negative spaces.
Tiles
2013 · Theme pack
Windows 8 Live Tiles, ported to Android.
I was fascinated by the way Metro flattened everything into colored rectangles. So I built Tiles, followed by a G-Apps companion pack.
Texty
2014 · Widgets
Typography-only widgets.
No graphics, no shapes — just text, weighted and spaced. Texty was the first one where I felt I'd actually said something with a homescreen.
Gadgets
2014 · Widgets
Dials, gauges, status rings.
Pie UI on steroids. Heavy on data visualization for the time.

A few more Play Store releases — same era, same hands. I left their screenshots off this page to keep things from running forever.
