The king of themes is definitely Moon+ Read Pro on Android – I would urge every e-book software developer to try and emulate Moon+ in this respect. In Moon+, you can define an unlimited amount of themes, and you can also integrate your own background colors/textures/photographs.

Let's get the record straight.
In terms of iOS reading view background themes, the good old Stanza was definitely the first that supports customized colors/textures/images/photos. But its customization wasn't done quite right to tone down the photos to make them really usable. IHMO, MapleRead (BookMaster) introduced in 2014 was the first app that really got it right. I started using Moon+ long time ago (while using Android) and don't recall seeing its support of such customization until after 2014.
Anyway, I think MapleRead's design and implementation looks better. An unlimited number of user-defined themes for day and night modes has been available in MapleRead since v1.0. Not sure if Faterson has explored MapleRead's themes yet, since he's new to the app.
