    Why the hell would I want all my icons to have a theme? It’s easier to find apps when they have different icons. I have priobably hundred i cons on every device.

      So turn that off. It’s always optional for users, this is about developers complying with the system-wide option.

      I do turn on themed icons and it’s so annoying to have one random one in the middle that refuses to listen that I now bundle my apps into folders based on whether they comply with icon theming or not.

      Reading it, it comes off as useful for me.

      During the more chaotic days of Android, some apps had a circle icon. Others had a minor border radius. Some were just full blown squares or transparent logos.

      App logos on the iPhone had consistency.

      I’m not seeing why this is a bad thing.

      I agree, I don’t need to show off how much time I spent configuring my phone with neon icons. I just want to use it!

      I tried themes and was annoyed by the added difficulty in telling icons apart and the couple of icons that aren’t in the theme and so stick out like a sore thumb.
