-Five wallpapers using the flatui color palette
-Font included is Suisse BP

-Icon request feature by Big DX

Download them from Google Play

I have also just put together a demo version. It includes fifty five icons and five wallpapers so you can get a feel for the theme. Some features were removed, i.e the clock widget and the icon request feature.
