I’d very much like if the Clear team focuses again on colorful gradient themes, rather than these graphical themes which I found to despise in the end (sorry, no hard feelings, just don’t like them) and I’d very much like if they make a deal with r1y3 to implement at least some of their great suggestions (mostly Magic Hour, Cloud Forest, Forelsket, Crisp)

This thread is back from the dead I see, lol. And thanks. Many of these themes I have since tweaked to be even better. Some of the above are looking rough to me all these months later.
I too am a lover of the heatmap themes, and not at all the graphic themes, so yeah, although I open the shop every morning, I feel like there hasn’t been anything to buy in quite a while.

Wow these are all beautiful! I especially love Etheral, your version of Ultraviolet and Cherry Blossom! I did like the graphical themes when they first came out, but I think I’m realizing I miss seeing more really colorful heatmap themes. I’d love to see more of the color combinations you have here.

And I’m bringing it back from the dead again to say I completely agree with your post. Huge fan of heat map themes and every one you made all that time ago are great. I don’t like the graphical themes at all. They feel like a skin rather than a theme and I prefer the gradients far above anything else. It doesn’t seem like any effort has been put into some fun wild gradient themes in a long time and the closest thing I’ve seen have essentially been solid in color. I know the devs are busy but fingers crossed these type of themes start becoming predominant again. Welcome to Miami, Kokomo, boiling point, dawn, etc etc. those are what Clear is all about to me.

Kind of with you here, I think graphic themes could still be a thing in the future but they may become collectors items for now as we focus on heatmap more again.
We’re doing a significant pass right now on kind of re-minimalizing the app… hopefully in the right ways.

I’m not against the graphic themes and I’m sure there are people who really like the bit of change up in that regard. I admit I did buy a few but they were the knit versions of Miami, dawn, hillside, Kokomo, and Shangri-la haha! That was pretty cool as they are classics with a twist.
To me though I agree. Heat maps and even some solids are very CLEAR to me and all the varying colors and possibilities are one thing that makes the app so much more than all todo apps in the market. I have so many themes I end up swapping them out throughout the day almost every day. Keeps things fresh and fun lol!

The graphic themes to me felt more like a wallpaper than a theme… Heatmaps are awesome and the variety of gradients to text and cells feel like a modern yet simple and minimalist design which I gravitate towards…
I personally feel the graphic themes as a novelty for once in a while like Christmas or something to spruce up the app…
would have loved to just be able to set any photo in my camera roll as a graphics theme… but for paid content, the Heatmap style and the Clear X style are my go to.

To me there are 4 types of themes:
- Graphic
- Seamless
- Subtle heatmap
- Dramatic heatmap
4 is what I’m always looking for, and what also seem to be top sellers. Miami, Fire & Ice, Kokomo, etc. Bright colors running into each other. If it were me I would consider that to be the flagship look of the app.
Doesn’t seem likely that any more of my themes make it in, but stuff like this? Guh.

Agreed 100%! I’ll always be drawn to the more dramatic heatmap themes as well as subtler heatmap versions as well.
Like you mentioned, Miami, kokomo, fire and ice, boiling point, the list goes on.
I also really like the heatmap themes based on “things” such as animals, food, locations, etc. The Mesa, avacado, etc. themes come to mind.

Oh hey, it’s been a minute since I posted here, hasn’t it?
I think I have at least one of all four theme types, and I swap them out often. My novelty-seeking brain loves to make the app feel fresh and new all the time. Beyond that, though, I sometimes choose themes for functional reasons. For example, if I need to get up early the following day, I like to give Clear a dark, low-contrast look the day before. Then, I can make a packing list for the morning while I’m in bed without being blinded, and I can wait until I’m properly awake to switch it to something brighter.

Are there any plans to release some sort of saved Theme template/layout? So if I have a setup I like, with an icon, theme, and font - I could save it, name it, and easily select to make switching through certain themes I like. This would especially be handy during seasonal type themes

This sounds like it’s in the works eventually. Search “loadouts” on this forum.

I thought “loadouts” was more directed to bundled shop items for purchase versus what I was thinking of having, which is my already purchased shop items setup as certain template themes that I could pick from. Maybe I miss understood loadouts.
Very nice!
