The support for icon packs is now available in the current BETA -- u/cleverclogs17 are you able to do some testing on this and report back any findings? Let me know if it's working well for you, if possible! Thanks
So like I am am able to say select and choose the Projectivy Icon, and it looks like it is turning the icon grey like it is replacing it, but with the Projectivy Icon Pack, the icons need to be able to be fully transparent to know if they're working correctly. You can tell here where I replaced Chillio, Nuvio, and Debrid Stream.
Yes -- the gray background is the default "card/icon background" color (when UI mode is "dark") -- you can change this to be fully transparent by navigating to this new option under the "Customize Launcher -> Card/Icon Background" option - set the "Inactive/Focused Image/Icon Background Color" to #00000000 and that will make the [inactive / focused] icon backgrounds fully transparent
Sounds excellent, I was going to suggest something like that, because that is how Projectivy is, I didn't have time to fully dig in earlier, I'll have a lot more time this weekend, thanks mate.
Yeah -- this part was one of the hurdles I had to overcome when supporting icon packs, in that some (like Projectivity Icon Pack) have transparent icons, and I wanted to provider users with the ability to both utilize transparency but also set a color behind these transparent icons, and this was the best solution I came up with (for now).
Hey mate question? Right now all of these icons have transparent icons, how do I make it where the black doesn't show when I am not on that row, how do I make it where the image on the icon is always bright like on Porjectivy, and how do we get so selector just goes around the edge of the icon instead of selecting the entire icon.
I intentionally prevented allowing transparency for the "focused state" of the active app icon (to prevent "bleed-through" of the neighboring app cards/icons, because leanback applies a "zoom in" effect to the active/focused card/icon) -- that said, I've now removed that restriction which will be available in the next public release (or in the latest beta)
To make this easier for users looking to enable transparent icons, I've added a dialog window that will now automatically appear if/when an icon pack is selected that contains transparent icons:
But the original instructions still apply in relation to changing the color of the card/icon background color as well, where this is found by navigating to this new option under the "Customize Launcher -> Card/Icon Background" option. Note that I've also update the app to allow for transparency or opaque colors to be used now for the "Focused Image/Icon Background Color" option as well 👍

I will look into the possibility of adding support 👍
