... the Messages conversation shortcut for my girlfriend has made her into an ugly demon. It's kinda crazy that Google also applies it to deep-link shortcuts as well. Feels very lazy.

I still don't understand why google decided to make all icons the same color. It's a usability nightmare and seems to ignore how we notice color before shapes. The colors are also pretty limited and most icons end up looking the same.
I understand wanting all icons to be consistent but I wish google should have tried changing the saturation to be more consistent or shifting all colors to follow one app.
It doesn't help how most stock launchers don't let you use icon packs and google wants to kill 3rd party launchers.
Meh, I like it 🤷🏻
My first Android device came with Android 10/11, but it wasn't until Android 12 that I started to dig the Android UI.
Fair enough. I actually like most of material U's decisions.
This is the same Google who decided that their entire suite of apps should have slightly differently-shaped blue/green/red/yellow icons instead of anything recognizable
when consistent branding supersedes accessibility in priorities
I mis-click Google apps almost daily. It's the stupidest fucking icon design.
Yah. This doesn't work if you are scrolling through several dozen apps in the app drawer. They all look too much alike.
This setting doesn't affect the app drawer, it's just for the home screen which are apps you place manually to be fair - I like the consistency.
That can work then. I might try it.
Idk who the fuck decided monochrome was a good idea. It's so goddamn ugly and impractical. Must have been a rust dev
Edit: 7 rust devs with no sense of humor and counting.
You have beef with a programming language
I'm not even a rust dev lol, I just don't like jokes at other ppls expense.
