Implementing an adaptive or themed app icon would be a valuable enhancement.

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
