Get cute this Halloween with an adorable jack-o-lantern theme

This is Halloween. This is Halloween! Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!!

The holiday of candy, costumes, and crazily scaring people is upon us, and while not all of us still get to go trick-or-treating, that’s no excuse for not dressing up your phone. There are lots of ways to dress up a phone without getting tacky cases, and that’s why we’re bringing you a sweet and simple theme that reminds us that not only is Halloween here, but it’s for more than just horror shows.

• This theme’s Trick or Treat wallpaper comes from the outrageously talented Adam Grason, who has done beautiful work for companies like Google and Disney. This festive piece features a black and white cat posing inside a jack-o-lantern carved with an adorable cartoon face. While the original may work for 16×9 phones, in the era of the tall phone, we’ve given you little bit more leeway by extending the orange background.
• Zwart’s icons cut into the orange wallpaper and transform our home screen (and app drawer) into a jack-o-lantern. If you prefer something a little lighter, try Whicons or the orange variant icons in Glim.
• Using KWGT Pro and Material Music Komponent, we’ll add a color-matched music widget to our theme in the form of a Trick Or Treat KWGT Preset.
• For those wanting a weather widget, 1Weather offers easy to theme and elegantly minimal weather widgets.
