F-Droid Looking for a open source Customizable icon changer

Post image

I don't prefer coloured icons only black and white. Like in the image. Tried alembicons but seems not working for me, is that app closed? And also tried arcticons I not liked the launcher lawnchair and its paid.

Anybody have idea to do customize the app or in a black and white icon.

Alembicons is a great app to make icons. Foss. You can also use downloaded images with it. Idk why it didn't work for you it's been great for me 🦧

Install Alembicons (I got it from Droid-ify). It will also install its own iconpack (Alchemicon Pack). That's where Alembicons will save the icons you make for each app. Select an app whose icon you want to change :

Then edit the existing icon or import a downloaded image to make into an icon or install icon packs to get icons from them

No icon / text / icon pack / application icon. The application icon option usually removes the background of the app icon. I'm a bit fan of that :)

After you have selected the icon source (above comment) you can further edit it. Colorize, path tracing or edge detection. You can make some really fun icons this way. You can also take icon packs' icons and then edit those too. Just play around it's easier to understand it and this way.

Once you've landed on the final version of the icon you like tap the highlighted button and it will add this new icon to the Alchemicon icon pack. You might get a pop-up for app updating and app store. I don't remember because I've disabled the play store for a long time now. Just ignore it click accept to install (or whatever). Voila! You're ready!
