KXNT is no stranger to the apex theme market, and the developer has a wide range of paid and free U.I. Skins available. One of their best looking and original skins is the Minimal UI Go Nova Apex Theme for Go Launcher, Apex or Nova. But, is it more flawed than it is worth the trouble of installing?
The Good
Many of the icons contained in the theme pack look great, and there are a lot of apps that receive new icons. One of my favorite being the flashlight icon. The icons look great on the white/silver minimalistic background which is included. KXNT has updates every couple of days to add new icons.
The Bad
There were numerous apps/games on my phone that did not get new icons with this Minimal theme pack, including Google Analytics, the IGN app, Quickoffice, Untappd, and NFL Mobile. There are only five wallpapers included with the Minimal UI, and only one of the wallpapers really fit well with the icons.
The Ugly Truth
The idealism behind the minimalistic theme ui is good, but the fact that not all of my heavily used apps don’t have new icons render the theme useless to me. While the new icons that are included look fantastic, it is unfortunate that KXNT has not created minimalistic icons for some widely used apps. I shouldn’t have to keep updating the app to get my new icons; the majority of the icons should be included in the original install.
Quick Take
Value:Low.
Would I Buy Again:No.
Learning Curve:Low.
Who Is It For:Customizers who enjoy minimalism.
What I Like:Great-looking included icons.
What I Don't Like:Many apps not supported with new icons.
Final Statement:The Minimal UI for GO, Nova or Apex is great in theory, but lacks execution by not supporting the majority of my most used apps.
icons Now accepting requests! The theme currently contains 600+ icons & I'm constantly updating adding in more. Also contains 5 wallpapers. Here's the form to request new icons: https://bit.ly/UIrequests
Please go to https://kxnt.tumblr.com to see why I had to reupload the theme & change the name. I've also remade the icons, which are now 96x96 instead of the old 80x80, so the icons are bigger & sharper than before.
Recommended icon sizes:
- Go Launcher: Default Size (small)
- Apex Launcher: 100% or 105%
- Nova Launcher (Prime): 100% or 105%
This is NOT a standalone app, you need a launcher such as Go, Apex, Nova, etc that allow custom themes.
Installation:
1. Install Go Launcher, Apex, or Nova (all free in the Play Store)
2. Install this theme
3. Find Minimal UI in any of the launcher's theme settings, then apply.
