SAO is built to be extendable. There are many free and paid themes and extensions available in the Store. Themes update the images, sounds, and fonts used in the app creating a completely different experience. Extensions, on the other hand, are additional orbs that appear when downloading other apps.

Both themes and extensions have an API for those who want to truly customize the experience. The documentation is still in it's infancy, so don't feel afraid to email us at [email protected] for additional help or to submit an app to the Store. http://xlythe.com/saolauncher/theme.html http://xlythe.com/saolauncher/extension.html
