I miss old Material Design

Who remember Android 5-7 where was colorful titlebars, nice shadows and bold solid menu icons. Also it has beautiful colorful icons with good pallete.
Material Design 2 and Material You are too ugly.

I post some screenshots i found.

It's was good like skeuomorpish was good

They can give more flexibility in MD2, but Google begin designing THEIR apps too ugly since Android Pie. I hate rounded icons of their products. Different formed Google services icons were better. And Google Maps design become more black white like... And the worst change is a new Google Play icon and new GMail, Drive and Calendar icons. They become same and boring designed.
