Wallpapers:Live&Control Center

Wallpapers, live backgrounds and control centre themes

Wallpapers:Live&Control Center is a personalization app from ThemeKit. It combines static HD wallpapers, animated backgrounds and replacement control centre designs in one place. It suits Android users who want to change the look of their home and lock screens, or give quick settings a different visual style.

What you can do with it

• Browse wallpaper collections covering subjects such as nature, animals, cars, cities, abstract art, space, music and minimal designs.
• Set still images as wallpapers, with options intended for Full HD and 4K screens.
• Use animated wallpaper templates, including designs that can be customised with personal photos, colours or patterns.
• Apply themed control centre layouts to alter the appearance of the panel used for quick controls.

Who it is for

This is aimed at people who treat their phone screen as part of their personal style rather than a fixed background. It offers more range than a basic wallpaper picker because the control centre and live wallpaper functions are included too. The choice may also appeal to users who prefer browsing by visual theme instead of searching for one specific image.

Publisher and user response

The listed publisher is ThemeKit. The app has a 4.63 rating from 27,289 reviews and records 1,000,000+ installs, giving it a substantial existing user base. Its category is Personalization.

Permissions worth understanding

The control centre overlay may require Accessibility access so it can appear over other screens and provide functions such as volume or music control. Features involving screen recording, screenshots or live display effects may also use foreground-service access. These requests are connected to the app’s on-screen tools, but they are broader than permissions needed for simply choosing a wallpaper.
