Features & Capabilities

Handcent 6 Skin Darkness offers a stylish dark theme for the popular Handcent SMS versions 6.0 and 5.0. Due to a temporary suspension from the Play Store, the app is available via Amazon Appstore and directly from the Handcent homepage, requiring the user to enable installation from unknown sources.

This skin enhances your messaging experience with a sleek darkness design. Applying the skin is simple: open the navigation drawer, select Handcent Services, then Skin, and choose your preferred design. It supports App2SD, allowing you to move the plugin to your SD card for efficient storage management.
