For now, the developer has already included in the theme Settings, the system interface, Contacts, Calendar, lock screen, wallpaper, Dialer, Gallery, Calculator, MMS and almost all the Clock.
Some important details: the developer HSTM was chosen by Samsung to make official themes in the manufacturer’s store, however this theme is not official and is still in beta; the black used is not true, that is, the AMOLED screen will not turn off the black pixels to save energy; the project is still under development, so it is not complete, and the theme is exclusive for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
