Themes & Wallpapers
A theme in Hologram is a collection of one or more wallpapers, and a set of customized widgets. This allows you to create different looks for your desktop, and to easily switch between them.
The themes page is where you can create and edit themes, and choose which one is active. Click on a theme to make it active, or click the "Make Active" button when hovering over it.
