Not really, I usually change it to whatever main game I playing. I normally have the the sounds muted so don't hear the music. The Resi Evil 7 one was quite spooky though.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I just wish there was more customizability or basis themes. I like switching things up now and then, but often I think the game themes are pretty weak in design. They have important part of their images covered up by the cross media bar items or the legibility of the icons is just really bad. Often feel like below average wallpapers to me.
The default themes I really like, but I just wish they had more colors and combinations!
So a good theme is really important to me, but I prefer functional design over a pretty picture.
I'll change the theme to a PS4 game I'm playing if it's good. In general, though, I prefer a vivid sense of ambiance from my themes, which can only be properly evoked by a combination of music and imagery. Such as this theme, which has been my go-to since I first obtained it:
What bugs me about the themes is how many are locked as pre-order bonuses and whatnot, though. I'd LOVE to have the pre-order themes that came with Gravity Rush Remastered or the digital version of NieR: Automata, for example, but those will likely never be re-released. It especially burns as the other themes available for NieR suck.
As for custom themes, I don't really bother with them, as you can't customize them with music. They're just wallpapers.
Being the cheapskate that I am I just take advantage of the free game related ones available from the PS Store & usually swap them over when I get bored with them or fancy a change - currently got a Mai Shiranui (KOF XIV) one rocking my PS4 - and very lovely it is too I might add !
I usual keep it on the basic purple flow theme, as I like the colour and simplicity of it. Occasionally I'll switch to something else for a while if I happen to get a free theme.
I had the Geralt and Ciri Witcher theme for a while complete with the awesome Skellige Isle music. Now I've just got a custom Cyberpunk 2077 background.
