Our new App Theme Editor

This month we’re really excited to announce the launch of our custom App Theme Editor. The Editor, free for all ScreenCloud customers, allows you to create your own custom “themes” across many of our apps in the App Store.

This means you can rebrand certain apps to match your brand colors and fonts.

Current apps that can be customized include:

• Gallery for Instagram
• Noticeboard
• RSS Feed
• Social Feed for Facebook
• Twitter Search
• Weather
• World Clock
• Aljazeera News
• BBC News
• CNN News
• Clock
• Currency
• ESPN
• Event Calendar
• Page Likes for Facebook
• Slack
• Stocks
• TechCrunch
• Twitter Timeline

Plus, we’re adding new ones all the time.
