These Beauty and the Beast themes will bring some magic to your Android phone

Theme as old as time… true as it can be…

Beauty and the Beast is coming back to theaters with a big, bold, live-action telling of our favorite bookworm princess. As a diehard Disney fan, this means breaking out the Nova Launcher and the KWGT to get my theme on. There's a lot of iconic characters to cover in Beauty and the Beast, and without further ado, here they are!

We invite you to relax, pull up a chair, as Android Central proudly presents… your themes.

Belle

Belle is a bold, brainy bookworm who wants the world to see past her beautiful exterior to the intellect and ingenuity inside. While Belle has and always will be defined to the world and her fans by the yellow dress, I wanted to portray Belle's theme the way I think she'd use a home screen: elegant but functional, with her passion for books in full view.

This theme wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional skills of Virginia Poltrack of Fat Russell watch faces, who made this perfectly-fitting wallpaper!

Belle's Music Widget

Putting a custom-tinted music widgets perfectly inside the top bookshelf takes a little tinkering on any device it's on. Because of the complexity it can entail, I'm keeping the instructions for it to its own section. I'll try to be as clear as I can and explain things as I go, but this is definitely on the advanced side of our spectrum.

These instructions were drafted with KWGT Pro and Nova Launcher on a Google Pixel with a 6x6 desktop grid with height padding set to small for both the dock and desktop. I mention the padding because that will figure into how the widget fits into the shelf.

Before we begin, download the Belle Music Widget Preset into the Kustom/widgets folder on your device using a file manager. If you can't find that folder, open the app up once so that the app can create the folders.

  1. Long-press the wallpaper on your home screen until a series of options appear.
  2. Tap Widgets.

  3. Press-and-drag a 4x2 KWGT widget to the top two rows of your home screen.

  4. Long-press the widget until a Nova menu pops up.
  5. Tap Resizeand stretch the empty widget until it covers the entire top shelf. If it's just barely not covering the top/bottom of the shelf, long-press the widget until the menu pops up and tap Padding.

  6. Tap the widget to configure it.

  7. Tap Exported in the top carousel of tabs.

  8. Tap Belle Music Widget.

  9. Save the widget using the floppy disk icon in the top left bar of the Kustom editor.

  10. Return to the home screen.

Now that we have the widget preset loaded, we need to see what adjustments need to be made to have the white backer of the widget cover the whole shelf, and to have the top left corner of the Material Music Komponent line up with the white backer. Take a look at how close you are to where we need to be, and from there, we have a few adjustments to make:

Adjusting the backer to the shelf

  1. Tap the widget text to open the KWGT editor. (Tapping the album art should take you into the music app instead.)
  2. Tap Shape in the Items tab of the editor.

  3. To adjust the rectangle width-wise, change the Width in the Shape tab.

  4. To adjust the rectangle height-wise, change the Height in the Shape tab.
  5. To move the rectangle up or down in the widget box, adjust the YOffset in the Position tab.
  6. To move the rectangle left or right in the widget box, adjust the XOffset in the Position tab.

  7. Whenever you wish to return to the home screen and check your edits, Save the widget using the floppy disk icon in the top left bar of the Kustom editor.

Adjusting the music component to the white backer

  1. Tap the widget text to open the KWGT editor.
  2. Tap Material Music Komponent in the Items tab of the editor.

  3. To adjust the size of the music komponent, change the Scale in the Layer tab.

  4. To move the komponent up or down to align the album art with the top line of the the white box, adjust the YOffset in the Position tab.
  5. To move the komponent left or right to align the album art with the left line of the the white box, adjust the XOffset in the Position tab.

  6. When you have the top left corners of the komponent and rectangle aligns as you wish, Save the widget using the floppy disk icon in the top left bar of the Kustom editor.

Adjusting the touch shortcuts

Once you have the widget set as you'd like, you can edit the widget to so that you don't re-open the editor every time you hit the text instead of the playback buttons.

  1. Tap the widget text to open the KWGT editor.
  2. Pull the tabs list halfway down the page to the left so that you can see the Touch tab.

  3. Tap the Touch tab.

  4. Tap Kustom Action => Advanced Editor.
  5. Tap Kustom Action to bring up the types of commands you can trigger.
  6. Tap None.

  7. Save the widget using the floppy disk icon in the top left bar of the Kustom editor.

With this touch action saved, you won't re-open the editor by tapping the widget. If you need to edit the widget in the future, you can reach the editor by opening the KWGT app.

Beast

The Beast is a brash, angry, and uncaring individual that Disney has somehow made us all care about more than should be reasonable. We do love a good underdog story, or underbeast story, as it were, but the Beast's whole existence before he meets Belle is consumed by two things: the curse that transformed him, and the enchanted rose that acts as the countdown clock to his eternal punishment as a beast. It is only fitting that his theme is also dominated by these two things as well, with the unnatural fuschia accenting the unnatural magic the Enchantress struck him with.

Prince Adam

Wait, Beast has a name?! Yes, yes, he does! And because I feel like Prince Adam would keep a reminder like this on his home screen not only to remind himself of his humanity but of his recovery. In honor of his transformation, this theme follows our previous Beast theme very closely, but things are a little brighter and rosier.

Gaston

He may use antlers in all of his decorating, but there's no way Gaston's wallpaper wouldn't just be a selfie. There's just no way. And lacking Gaston's selfies, his profile portrait from Gaston's tavern is just about as good as it gets. Also keeping to Gaston's simplistic and narcissistic nature, this theme is devoid of widgets, because Gaston wouldn't know how to use them, and he wouldn't stand for any of his lovely form to be covered up.

Lumiere

Our golden candelabra gave me a good amount of trouble, as womanizers are wont to do, but I believe I've managed to maintain the maitre d's suave style while imbuing a rosy motif and some modern magic to his setup here. Lumiere is a showman whose very being is quite musical, so we have a nice big widget front and center for him.

Cogsworth

Our favorite mantle clock has a short fuse, a meek disposition, and some of the best comedic lines in the film. He's a clock on a schedule and someone who demands to be in the know at all times. While he may not be as musical as Lumiere, I've not doubt he'd keep a music widget on his home screen so that he could strike up some Bach or Mozart to keep him mellow as he puts up with the insanity of the household.
