Description
Problem Statement
Calculator is great example of Fluent design, but it doesn't feel like my Calculator.
Evidence or User Insights
- Adding more color options is a top requested feature on Feedback Hub
- Other products, like SwiftKey and the new Windows Terminal, support themes, which are quite popular with users.
Proposal
Add support for custom color and photo themes in Calculator.
Goals
- Users can select a custom color theme.
- Users can select an image as their theme.
Non-Goals
- Fine-grained personalization of individual UI elements
Low-Fidelity Concept
Requested Assignment
I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by reviewing the proposal and Calculator's existing theme UI, then determine how custom colors and image themes should be selected and rendered; done means both goals work without fine-grained personalization of individual UI elements.
