What's in a DailyThemes theme pack?
Three parts made together: a wallpaper for your Lock Screen and Home Screen, an icon pack, and a set of widgets in the same colors.
| Part | What you get | How it's applied |
|---|---|---|
| Wallpaper | Lock + Home Screen, framed for your device | Saved to Photos, set in seconds |
| Icon pack | Matching app icons | Apple's Shortcuts app, one by one |
| Widgets | Day, Health, Big Days and more in the theme's colors | Added from the widget gallery |
How do I apply an iPhone theme?
- Open a theme pack in DailyThemes and tap Apply. The checklist opens.
- Wallpaper: save it and set it as a wallpaper pair for Lock Screen and Home Screen.
- Widgets: add the theme's widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen.
- Icons: pick the apps to restyle and install them with Shortcuts. The checklist tracks each one.
You can stop at any point and come back later; the checklist remembers where you were.
Aesthetic Home Screen ideas for iOS 17 and iOS 18
A few layouts that work well with DailyThemes themes:
- The clean first page. One medium Day widget (weather and agenda), four to eight restyled icons, the rest of your apps in App Library.
- Dark and quiet. A dark theme like Nordic Noir, line icons, and a single small countdown widget.
- Cozy season. A golden hour or snowy cabin wallpaper, warm widget colors and a Christmas countdown in December.
- Health dashboard. A large Health widget with steps and sleep, matched to a calm gradient wallpaper.
Newer iOS versions also let you tint Home Screen icons. Tinting changes every icon to one color, while a theme pack gives you actual designed icons that match the wallpaper; you can use either approach.
How is DailyThemes different from other theme apps?
It keeps the whole look in one place, refreshes it daily, and doesn't ask for an account or your data.
If you've tried other widget or theme apps, you know the usual pattern: an account, a feed of random packs and three separate apps to make them match. DailyThemes brings wallpapers, widgets and icons together, adds a new wallpaper every day, and keeps Health, calendar and photos on your device.
Which themes are available?
The collection includes winter and holiday themes such as Nordic Noel, First Frost, Evergreen and Quiet Snow, and warm looks like Golden Hour and Ember Night, with new packs added regularly. Every theme works on iPad as well.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply a theme to my iPhone automatically?
No app can change your wallpaper, icons and widgets automatically on iOS. DailyThemes makes it quick with a checklist that takes you through each part in order.
Will a theme delete or change my apps?
No. Custom icons are shortcuts that open your apps. Originals stay in App Library; you only remove them from the Home Screen.
Can I mix parts of different themes?
Yes. Use any wallpaper with any widget style or icon pack. The checklist is just a guide.
Are theme packs free?
Some theme packs are free. DailyThemes Pro unlocks every premium theme, icon pack and widget.
Do themes work on iPad?
Yes, with wallpapers framed for iPad and extra large widgets available on the iPad Home Screen.
