Out of Oxygen Substratum Theme is a Pixel Theme for OxygenOS

Many like the near-stock Android approach adopted by OnePlus with OxygenOS. However, this is not yet a standard Android ROM with additional features. OxygenOS is a little different and does not really respect the materials design guidelines. Some of you may like this and others will probably prefer the Android look. I tend to fall into this last group, and luckily for us, just like the main member of XDA tych_tych. He created a new substrate theme called Out Of Oxygen, specifically for OxygenOS. The goal is to provide a pixel theme for OxygenOS.
