The December Pixel Feature Drop has introduced a frustrating issue for users who enjoy themed icons: reversed icon colors in dark and light modes. This glitch causes dark mode to display bright icons, and light mode to show dark icons, creating a mismatch with the overall theme.
While we await an official fix from Google, here's a simple workaround to restore your themed icons:
A Quick Fix for Reversed Themed Icons
- Open "Wallpaper & Style" settings.
- Tap the three dots in the top-right corner to access the color palette selector.
- Temporarily switch to a different color palette.
- Toggle the "Dark theme" setting on/off.
- Switch back to your preferred color palette. Your themed icons should now appear correctly.
This temporary fix should resolve the issue until Google releases a patch. In the meantime, enjoy the other features of the December Feature Drop!
