MaterialYou Icons for Android 8+
We are excited to announce that we have updated our "Pix Material You Light/Dark" icon pack in the Play Store to support Android version 8 and above. This means that users of Android devices below version 12 can now experience themed icons that change color based on the wallpaper. Additionally, we have released a new icon pack in the OneUI7 style "OneYou Themed" with the same capabilities.
These advancements were made possible thanks to Hyperion Launcher (beta). The developer of this launcher has added support for themed icons from Android 13, making them available to devices running lower versions of Android.
Moreover, in the Lawnchair 12.1(dev) update (#1414), the developers introduced the ability to theme icons for icon packs that support this feature, allowing our icons to instantly change color on Android 8 and above.
In Google Play recently released Lawnchair 14, which works with QuickSwitch (a Magisk module for gestures and the recent apps menu that requires root access). And Lawnchair 15 is already in development.
Recently, the developer of Smart Launcher implemented the ability to automatically change the color of icons not only on Android 12+ but also on earlier versions starting with Android 8. This feature is compatible with our two icon packs: Pix Material You Light/Dark and OneYou Themed. To take advantage of this feature, you need to download Smart Launcher and join the beta.
There is also Kvaesitso launcher. It also has the ability to change the colors of icons for Android 8.1 and above. It is a free and open source launcher for Android, focused on search. It looks original compared to many launchers, and of course it is worth trying.
These updates open up new horizons for personalization, allowing users to enjoy modern theming capabilities regardless of their device version.
And here are the guides for all these Launchers, if you do everything correctly, it works 100%:
