Creating theme for personal use

None of the free themes on the store are what I’m looking for in terms of color pallet, icon, and lock screen watch face combinations. I am very particular about how I want my phone to look, and just changing my wallpaper and using the built in feature to create a color pallet from wallpapers does not yield satisfactory results, as I want to customize things like app folder icons and widget text color as well.

How do I get a personal use version of the theme studio? I’m not beyond going through the application process to do official theme design, but it’s closed right now.

Welcome to the forum. There’s no way to get access to the tool unless you are an approved designer.
