I personally like the one with white cubes. The rest are either stupid or game themed. Last time i checked of course.
 
Try the free 20th Playstation anniversary theme.
As well as on PS4 it's also out on PS3 and Vita.
It also has the old PS1 opening sound too.

Believe it or not, it's actually not available for the PS3. Which is very odd.
 
Sorry,I didnt check but info says it's supposed to be on PS3 as well.

Ive tried it but the background color is a little bright for me.

Yeah I tried looking for the PS3 version as I got it for the PS Vita and PS4, but nothing for the PS3.

Also agree it's a little too bright. Hard to see some text up top. I've just got the default blue. Wish they would bring out more. But hey, I'd rather see notifications when your friends appear online first.

No freaking way. I'm gonna have to check that one out.

As for OP's post. Yes. Yes it does look like Windows 8. Unfortunately, seems that's the way its going. But luckily you can change the theme. This feature was only added like 3 weeks ago? So it's going to take a little bit of time to get some good quality themes out there.

Side thought. There were some good independent PS3 theme sites out there. Anyone know if there's any out there yet for PS4?
 
I have a suggestion, might be useful, thats what I do anyway:

Once the PS4 turned on jump into the game, dont browse around, that way you dont have to deal with the almost crappy interface. :P
 
Wow looks like im stuck with it for a bit then, only free ones are rubbish, flow is best dark blue
 
If you guys think the PS4 looks like Windows 8, then you must not have seen the Xbox One.
It IS Windows 8 Metro in almost every way and the PS4 looks nothing like it.

I look at both everyday and the simplistic PS4 interface is a lot better if you ask me.

Spot on.

I have mine set to dark blue, i don't spend much time looking at it so the lack of themes and the look of it is of little consequence to me.
 
There are a few free and pay themes on the PSN store.
And I believe a few sites out there are also working on making PS4 themes too.
 
Can you still get custom themes for the console, i use to get some for the ps3.

Oh hell yeah. You can find some really creative dynamic themes out there for the PS3. I have a whole slew of them on mine now. This is the site I think I used (been a while :) ). I hope customized by user PS4 themes are not far behind or if Sony is going to close it off.

I never really care about the themes. It is not like I am spending a lot of time using the PS4 interface, it is simply a tool to load my games. I do find it to be aesthetically pleasing and simple and functional.
