Google rolled out a set of disco-ball-themed Android app icons for Pixel devices. The icons are available through Pixel’s custom icons feature, which lets users select AI-generated icon styles. Previously, customization mainly involved changing icon colors to match the phone’s wallpaper and theme. The disco icon rollout follows Spotify’s temporary disco-ball icon experiment for its 20th anniversary, which received backlash and some praise. Sameer Samat posted that disco icons were available on Pixel and asked whether users still wanted them. The custom icons feature was introduced in March’s Pixel Drop with multiple icon templates, including “Scribbles,” “Treasure,” and “Easel.”
"Your wish is our command. Disco icons available on Pixel as of today...Are y'all sure you still want this? His post included a screenshot of a Pixel phone fully decked out with sparkly, disco-ball-inspired icons, which looks just as terrible (incredible??) as it sounds."
"The new icons are available through Pixel's relatively new custom icons feature, which allows users to choose from different AI-generated styles for their app icons. Before this, users could only customize their icons by changing their colors to match the phone's wallpaper and theme."
"The custom icons feature rolled out in March's Pixel Drop - Google's term for its periodic feature updates to Pixel phones - introducing app icon templates like a hand-drawn "Scribbles" aesthetic, a gold look called "Treasure," a colorful, painted style dubbed "Easel," and others."
"Alright, we know glitter is not for everyone," the streamer wrote. Google, seemingly, disagrees. As off-brand as its disco-themed icons are, there's also something whimsical about turning your whole homescreen into a sparkly landscape of little apps."
