TSF Shell - Theme Problems/Fix
1st after you install the theme and you open the popup menu that has the theme option to choose your theme and select "Themes"
Once you select the desired theme that is installed on your device
Here I choose Luxurious and select Apply
I am presented with this popup and select OK
Here I see the theme has applied minus the icons are not done, disregard the clock as it is a widget
Now to fix so the icons are shown, you need to do the following from what I found.
Choose the icon on the bottom right and then the top settings icon, which will display another popup
Then select "Themes" on the top left which is the theme mixer I believe.
You are then presented with a "Themes Mix" popup which appears to be correct with all settings to the Luxurious theme or whichever theme you applied. Now select the top option "Icon".
I found that you first have to select a different theme first and then click the check mark on the bottom middle. You will then see your icons change to whatever theme you picked. Then go back into Theme Mixer and select Icon, now scroll back to the actual theme you wish to use. Here I will pick Luxurious and once again, select the check mark to apply.
Now you see it actually applied the icons to the home screen and the rest of the launcher.
(disregard the clock, as it is a widget and must manually be placed)
I hope this helps any of you who have theme packs and are unable to get them to display the way they should. I have noticed on other themes packs that are set to auto populate the icons, it will do those correctly when you apply the theme in the first step, however it does not do the icons they have not skinned, normally they still include a base around the icons but they are not shown until you follow these steps.
I can not say this is true for every theme out there, but this may be an easy fix for now until this issue is corrected.
Enjoy,

Next Launcher and theme icon suggestion
This is just a little explanation about how some icons don't show up on certain launchers. Example Next Launcher is one of them. They have made it very difficult for developers to theme the actual icons other than adding a border around the stock application icons.
In the past I have had a few people ask why only a few icons are themed in "Next Launcher". Well from what I know, Next Launcher does not pull the themed icons the standard way that most other launchers do. Also the Next Key "Icon that is on the side" as of yet, I have not been able to get that themed, you do have an option in settings to turn off the Next Key which removes it from your home screens.
Now back to icons, I have used a another application which will make all the themed icons appear on Next Launcher. Unfortunately it only works on "Rooted" devices from what I understand. The app is called Unicon (formerly called Icon Themer) it is a paid app, but seems to work quite well. Not only with my themes but most themes. It also works with other launchers and best of all, it will work with stock launchers if you don't like to use the supported launchers.
Here are some example screenshots of how Unicon works with Next Launcher.
Next Launcher with II Luxurious Theme Applied but no Icons only border
Running Unicon and Selecting II Luxurious and Applying
After Reboot and Going into Icon Editor and deselecting "Use Theme Style"
After with themed icons now showing in Next Launcher
of course there are a few icons showing that are not done, because I have not themed them
I hope this helps some of you out there that have rooted devices and have issues with developer themes not applying to Next Launcher or if you want to use launchers like Trebuchet etc..
** Unicon REQUIRES ROOT
Unicon (formerly Icon Themer) allows you to use Nova/Apex/ADW etc. icon packs on your device.
You can now use any launcher you prefer (especially Stock launchers!) and still have the power to customize how your application icons look like.
(Note: If your launcher is replacing the icons with their own theme, Unicon would appear to be not working)
Unicon is also more consistent because the icon theme is applied throughout your device and not just confined your launcher!
