Google has been trying to make Android a more uniform experience for a while, I don’t find this to be due to the features of the operating system but rather also regarding its design. In Europe, we have been able to enjoy a lot of new features since the arrival of Android 13 and Android 14.
One of them, adaptive icons, is able to change the appearance of this element, for which Previously, you had to download multiple apps. And they can give a totally different touch to the home screen of any Android mobile or tablet.
One of the great virtues of this function available on Android phones is that the icons can acquire the same predominant color in the interface thanks to Material You, the design language that the company introduced in previous versions of the system. exploitation.
How to change the icon layout
Since Android 13, mobile phones and tablets with the operating system are able to use adaptive themes, which change the color palette of the interface so that it matches the wallpaper chosen by the user . It makes make it more uniformand it is possible to make these same colors also on the icons.

After that, you just need to lower your view a little and activate the themed icons box. Once the process was complete, they changed their usual colors to only display two. A primary one will be in the background and another secondary one that will recreate the original app icon.
Also keep in mind that this change in icon design makes them all more uniform, but also harder to differentiate, so if you have a full home screen, this may make it harder to find each app. The change can be undone at any time by turning off the theme icons option.
