Google is rightfully proud of its native theme in
Ice Cream Sandwich. Dubbed Holo, it's intuitive, functional and -- dare we say it -- downright sexy. Now, in an effort to provide all
users with a consistent interface, the company is making the theme essential for all
Android 4.0 devices that come bundled with the
Android Market. That's right, the
stock, undiluted e
xperience. Don't be alarmed, though, because manufacturer
customizations aren't going anywhere, and the changes aren't terribly drastic. In fact, for
users of Sense, TouchWiz and the like,
Google is issuing architectural mandates that will make it dead simple for independent developers to
create apps that fit nicely into these
customized environments, complete with the proper widgets and colors. In other words, app designers may effortlessly choose between Holo or the manufacturer's default theme when considering the software's interface -- although, we'd really love to see this decision extended to end-
users. Meanwhile, it seems terribly unlikely that Google's
new mandate will bring choice to the home screen, keyboard and dialer as well. We can only hope, right?
