… the Messages conversation shortcut for my girlfriend has made her into an ugly demon. It’s kinda crazy that Google also applies it to deep-link shortcuts as well. Feels very lazy.

    The problem is that they are naively inverting the colors, which doesn’t work for photos. Lazy, yeah.

    In principle I think it makes sense (as much sense as the feature in general, anyway). Personally I do not understand the push in iOS and Android to make all icons look the same, but if that’s what you want, then excluding shortcuts would be an eyesore, right?

      It’s not just photos though.

      I have a folder of apps and app shortcuts here. Most of these apps support the dynamic icon theming, but the shortcuts use other icons that clearly don’t. So yeah, before this update this folder looked a bit uneven as the app shortcuts were coloured, but now it looks uneven because the app shortcuts look weird and different.

      I’ll get over it… 😅
