Interesting, Is this a theme setting on Android OS - If so how do you enable it so we can repro and test against it? I have used android for as long as I have had a phone and never have come across this setting!

Enabling Adaptive/Themed Icons on Android (AI Generated):

  • You need Android 8.0+ for adaptive icons.
  • For Material You dynamic theming, use Android 12+ (Pixel 12/13/14/15 or a compatible ROM/AVD).
  • On custom OEM skins (One UI, MIUI, OxygenOS, etc.), adaptive icon settings often live under Settings → Wallpaper & style or Home screen options.

Finding the Icon Shape Picker:

On a Pixel (Android 12+):

  1. Long-press your home screen → Styles & wallpapers
  2. Scroll to Icon shape → choose Circle, Teardrop, Square

On OEM skins or third-party launchers (One UI, MIUI, Nova, Lawnchair):

  • Open Settings → Wallpaper & style or your launcher’s Home settings
  • Look for Icon shape, Icon theme, or Adaptive icon shape
  • Apply a shape and watch all your adaptive icons update instantly

Learn More & Next Steps:

Check out Google’s Adaptive Icons guide for full details:
https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/uiguidelines/icondesign_adaptive

A few things to try next:

  • Add a dark-mode variant under drawable-night
  • On Android 12+, use the Monet API to tint icons with your system accent
  • Publish metadata so popular icon-pack launchers automatically pick up your themed icon
