Setting Up A Taste Of Honey Themes for Brawl Stars
A Taste Of Honey is a custom theme pack for Brawl Stars that changes the visual appearance of your game interface. It replaces default menus, buttons, and backgrounds with a honeycomb aesthetic. I got asked about this a bunch when it first came out, and honestly most people struggle with the installation. Here is how it actually works. You need the Brawl Stars mod manager app called BloxLink or you can use the GameGuardian method if you are on Android. The iOS route is more complicated since you need a sideloaded IPA. I will focus on Android since that covers most people asking about this. First, download the theme file. It usually comes as a .theme file or a folder containing sprite replacements. Put it in your internal storage under a folder called BrawlStars/themes/ or wherever your mod manager points. I ran into an issue where the theme wouldn't load because the file structure was slightly wrong. The sprites needed to be in a specific subfolder hierarchy. I spent about twenty minutes troubleshooting before realizing the developer packaged it with an extra nested directory. I just moved the files up one level and it worked fine.
Open your mod manager, go to the themes section, and select A Taste Of Honey from the list. Toggle it on. Restart the game. If the theme does not appear, check that your game version matches what the theme supports. These theme packs are usually built for specific updates and go stale quickly. On iOS, you would need a modified IPA from a site like TikTop or StandForYou, install it through AltStore or Sideloadly, and then apply the theme from within the modified app. The catch is that IPSW files change constantly and you need to stay on the same game version. If Supercell pushes an update, your mod breaks and you start over. Common mistakes people make include putting the theme in the wrong directory, using a theme built for an older game version, or forgetting to enable the theme in their mod manager before launching. The theme will silently fail to load in the last case and you will just see the default UI. Also watch out for conflicting themes. If you have two themes active at once, one will override the other and you will get missing textures or corrupted sprites. I learned that the hard way when I had two honey-themed packs running simultaneously and half my menu buttons turned invisible.
The main downside is that custom themes can get you banned if Supercell detects modified clients. It happens, though it is not super common for theme-only modifications. Still worth being aware of. If you are cautious about bans, stick to single-device setups and do not use them in ranked matches until you are comfortable with how detectable they are. Most themes like A Taste Of Honey get updated every few months to keep up with game patches. Follow the original developer on Discord or Reddit if you want current versions. The older ones stop working and you waste time trying to troubleshoot something that is already deprecated.
