They're atrocious.
I wish they'd all look like maps or chrome (no white space whatsoever).
Like Google get it together and fix the fucking playstore, games, camera, calendar, Drive, photos, YouTube, and even the Google app icons ffs -
bahua129046yThey are as ugly as the droopiest of balls. Install some icon packs. I personally think a good one is worth paying for. I think there's a good chance that Google is making these eye-stabbingly ugly icons in an effort to drive more sales of icon packs on their play store.

@JoshBent but I like the pixel launcher. I shouldn't have to download an icon pack for official Google apps (Google play, Google play music, etc.) to have a proper icon

eeee31506yGoogle calls them 'adaptive icons' and it's the new design standard. Most of their icons have been made adaptive. Many of them have a white background, and it's a bit boring and ugly, I agree.

Condor324966yTry Nova Launcher and Dives icon pack, they look really good! And many of the Dives icons are completely filled.

Regal06yBrand new to Android as of last month and the first thing I had to do was scour for some better icons. There really are a lot of good packs! Definitely glad I bought the one I did

Maroti6736yMe. Still its nothing compared to some other atrocities I have seen people tolerate.
I fail to understand how people live peacefully with bad UI/UX and make no fuss about it. -
everyone is saying "icon packs, icon packs, icon packs". my point is I should not have to use one for the PREINSTALLED GOOGLE APPS.

Spark1816yIm still not used to that ;( I use an smiled bleach theme so these white stuff are blinding me
-
@irene this is devRant, no? a place to rant about things? things that annoy you, even?
-
@irene so you're not allowed to rant about minor annoyances? who gets to decide what a "proper" rant topic is?
-
Especially the YouTube one, like just fill the circle with red is it really that hard
-
