Survey suggests SpongeBob isn’t the problem; Google’s branded Pixel themes are

Wait 5 sec.

A large part of Pixel UI’s approachability is its lack of genuine customization options. It sounds counterintuitive, but offering consumers a largely unchangeable, common set of icons, fonts, colors, and unalterable details breeds familiarity for general users. For power users, however, it can be pretty frustrating.Google tried to address this late last year, rolling out what it believed would be a welcome splash of magic (and advertising, no doubt) with its limited-time Wicked theme pack — the first of many, it would seem. More recently, it also rolled out a Spongebob Squarepants themed-option. Complete with wallpapers, ringtones, alarm tones, and GIFs, this pack transformed supported Pixels into Android phones under the sea. Some of us loved it, and no more than my colleague Zac Kew-Denniss.
