Hands-on: Google will soon let you customize icon shapes on your Pixel’s home screen

The Pixel Launcher will soon allow users to customize the shape of their app icons, introducing six distinct shapes, including a traditional circle. This feature aims to enhance personalization options, which have been limited in the stock launcher compared to third-party alternatives. The capability for icon shape customization was previously available in Android 11 but was removed. Initial hints of this feature appeared in November, and it has been activated in the third beta of Android 16. The customization process applies a mask to all app icons on the home screen, app drawer, and folders, but does not affect their appearance in other contexts. The six available icon shapes are: “circle,” “square,” “four-sided cookie,” “seven-sided cookie,” “arch,” and “complex clover.” This feature is part of ongoing development for the Pixel wallpaper app, which has been in progress since August of the previous year.

Pixel Wallpaper app gets a revamped UI on Android 15 QPR1 beta

Google has released the Android 15 QPR1 beta, which is the first test phase for the upcoming Pixel Feature Drop update. The update includes user interface enhancements and new animations, particularly for the Pixel Wallpaper app, which has a redesigned appearance. This new interface is not yet available by default but can be activated by users. The revamped design allows for easier navigation between lock screen and home screen customization through swiping, and it consolidates lock screen clock styles into a bottom sheet for easier access. Additionally, the customization section for UI color accents has been improved with two rows of options and enhanced previews for color palettes and light/dark modes. The first stable build of Android 15 may not include these updates, with the initial Feature Drop expected in December. A video comparing the current and new designs of the Pixel Wallpaper app is available for viewing.
