The Lemmy app Voyager let's you select and change the app icon. Maybe CoMaps can allow us to pick between all six of these (after refinement) icons.
Edit: I suppose there still needs to be an overall winner for the apps image but I think my idea above sounds fun.
with lawnchair, i always use custom icons. I already have chosen mine for comaps 🙈
That's certainly one way of doing it. I'm not too big of a fan of addon launchers. They don't seem to work as fluid for me. I tried Lawnchair and was able to exit it through the app switcher. I would expect it to not even show as an app to be closed out of since it's trying to integrate seemlessly.
you have to choose it as your default home app for it not to behave as just another app in the "switcher"
Okay. I can give it another shot then. Thanks for the tip
Fun idea. Also signal allows you to change the app icon to quite a few other, predefined icons.
@Lazycog @sic_semper_tyrannis Funny, today I learned. On :sailfishos: #SailfishOS however each different selected icon makes a new element in the app menu, rendering all others non-functional 😅
Ouch! Hope that gets fixed up!
Customizing the icons of apps is a small but nice way to allow phone customization for non-powerusers, so I very much like that :)
