Miriam BooshTwo years since the new version of google icons and the struggle is still real
Queen of Anxiety@Miriamm I have 4-5 apps I use regularly and they are all blue with white text on them and I have no idea which one I’m clicking on in the Mac menu. If I made a program I would do black and hot pink for the image because of this!
Brian Marick@queenofnewyork @Miriamm Something that pleased me so much about the @MonaApp Mastodon app is that it lets you change the color of the app icon. I have an icon that stands out! Is easy to find! Who would have dreamt such a thing possible?

Android has a number of launchers (like Nova) which allow you to customize the icons of every app on your phone.
You can also download icon packs (from the app store) which give you visually consistent icon sets to use (neon, paper, old-school, etc).
@SirLich @queenofnewyork @Miriamm @MonaApp I am sufficiently old that I do my browsing on a laptop, not an IOS or Android device.
MarjorieR@SirLich @marick @queenofnewyork @Miriamm @MonaApp suspect it may be because I have Nova launcher on my tablet but that's the only device I have where the Google Calendar icon shows the actual date rather than fixed '31' I get on my phone.
On the other hand keeping a common colour 'set' at least allows me to pick out which are my Google apps.
