Icon pack support

[Donnnno]

As the title says! Support for icon packs like other launchers :)

Just stumbled on your launcher through F-Droid, and it has lots of potential.

A few things that are nice to haves:

• PNG, webp & XML support
• Material You
• day night switching
• dynamic calendar icons
• dynamic clock icons
• picking custom icons

Nova & Kvaesitso launcher both have good documentation for these things:

https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/docs/developer-guide/integrations/icon-packs.html

PS. I'm an icon pack developer myself, so I'm a bit biased when it comes to this stuff ;)

Great suggestions, I was already researching how I could implement support for icon packs

[JunioJsv]

In terms of material you, you are referring to those monochromatic icons, right?

[Donnnno]

Oh great!
Material You are the monochromatic icons, yea.

There are many icon packs that utilize this feature:

However do some launchers lack the support, unfortunately.

Hello, I just released a version with support for icon packs (com.gau.go.launcherex.theme, org.adw.launcher.THEMES). Since you mentioned that you are an icon pack developer, could you test it and send me feedback? The implementation is still basic, but I think it works with most packs.

[Donnnno]

Fantastic, I'll test it immediately :)

[Donnnno]

Super! It does work.
In my quick tests I found the following issues however:

• It doesn't update every icon, despite being mapped in the icon pack.
• Currently it doesn't check if you've changed your system preference to dark or light, resulting in not refreshing the icons' dark or light variant.

[JunioJsv]

I just uploaded a new version with the fix for the problem of not updating icons when switching from light to dark theme and vice versa.

[JunioJsv]

the other problem you reported, I will still investigate

[Donnnno]

The switching works like a charm now!

I'll investigate which apps have trouble with applying later.

And also while I'm at it, maybe an option to disable the drop shadow thingy might be nice too :-)

I'm adding Minimum to the supported launcher list with full support!

[Donnnno]

Update: it looks like those apps are system apps that are hidden by default on most launches. So it's not necessarily a launcher thing.

I don't understand, what do you mean?

I understand, it was actually displaying some system applications without the android.intent.category.LAUNCHER category, I will hide this type of application

[JunioJsv]

ready, in this version only applications with android.intent.category.LAUNCHER will be displayed

[Donnnno]

Nice! That fixed it :))

I am also an Icon Pack developer and would be delighted to receive it.

[mondlicht-und-sterne]

It works.

Mondstern Acrylic Icons.

Hello, I just posted a new version with the functionality to choose custom icons

[Donnnno]

Works great too!

For me, the latest version just loads and loads and loads.

Android 14

@mondlicht-und-sterne Have you tried clearing the app data? I'll need to collect the errors somehow to be able to resolve this.

[JunioJsv]

@mondlicht-und-sterne test with this new version
