Here's how our app icon looks when optimized* vs not for the new dark and tinted icons.
*there's still a lot of work I can do to improve the actual contrast/brightness of the icon. This is just a quick sample to see how it all works.
rstevens 🐳💨✅@mark that take on optimized looks perfect
Graham@mark Dark mode optimized looks great!
Tinted…not so much (but that's not your fault). Not sure why Apple thought that was a good idea.
@ghalldev Yea tinted seems to work best on icons that have very simplistic glyphs and flatter colors. I'm sure tinted will work well on some of our alternate icons.
Max Mellman@mark I agree with the previous two takes! Dark mode brings out the intentional curve of the ears in a way I hadn’t noticed with the colored background.
Mingo 🦩 Hagen@mark It's unfortunate that due it being a gray mastodon the icon loses all color in the dark mode optimized version. I personally think Apple's icons are still a bit too bright, but I like that they hold some color at least.
@mingo Yes, but there's always all the alternate icons. I'm going to optimize all of them. 🙂
Filip Radelic@mark I really wish they would just let us use normal icons in dark mode as an option, without also making all the widgets light.
Dan Andrus@mark lookin’ goooood 😎
Cyril Rigaud@mark I like the dark optimized version.
alx.ras@mark Hello Mark. I would like to know if alternative icons will have dark options, such icons as from the MISC section, namely "Flat" and "RIP". Since I like them very much and I use them most often, I would like to have dark versions of these icons. I'll attach an example.
@mark Perfectly
Monty Hayter 🇨🇦@mark Did I just miss it, or is there not a way to detect the current icon mode?
(I get why they might not provide it, but it’d be nice to adjust the alternate icon selector presentation appropriately)
@montyhayter not sure I understand what you mean.
@mark Can an app tell which mode (dark/light/tinted) the user has selected on the home screen?
That way in an alt icon selector, you could have it show both the light/dark versions, with the dark (or light) one highlighted.
@montyhayter oh I’d assume so. But no idea until we get into it all. 🙂
@mark I hope so! It would be a nice touch to be able to do that in the picker.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but it's not like *any* of this has been documented particularly well (or at all) so far.
FlohGro@mark I‘d like to see a bit of the color I picked for the app icon even in the dark mode appearance 😊
