Yeah. I’m not sure how I feel about it how this looks. Seems a bit messy.
Got a tip for us?

The new icons "theming" option is a bit messy, at least for now. Dark mode only applies to the default Apple apps which is horrible. 3rd party apps still have default icons. Hope they 'll fix this.
its carrier specific , not all support them currently .
If you go to each individual's website and look at the features it will say if it is or not, I know that Vodafone and voxi support it here in the uk un sure about others
I'm just happy that they've FINALLY added colours to the Calendar app appointments (rather than just everything being grey) and also given us the option to narrow those chunky margins in the Books.
Nope, sadly it doesn’t look like you can drag your finger to select a bunch at once. I wish they would change this, too.
Ugh in this case I just give up and will go back to WhatsApp. I don’t understand why they did not implement like in the photo app to begin with
Agreed - it was an immediate red flag in the demo when she said "everything's in one place, with all your photos at the top and every other piece of functionality underneath" (or words to that effect), and having used it it is indeed bad.
Yeah you're right, there's slightly more padding on the icon, and the dots are smaller.
When someone sends you a photo in messages, the phone will describe the photo if you don’t have the phone unlocked.
What do you mean? It's applied to every icon I've looked at including many without black backgrounds.Are tinted icons only available with black background?
Edit: okay, only those with black background. Less customizable that I thought
I mean that the “select tint” customization option appears to be only applicable to the icon version that replaces background color for a black color. Which is understandable because ting those without a white background would be difficult. But damn, Apple should allow users to change apps icons manually.
Not sure I get what you mean. When I went to tint, every single app icon I have has tinted.
Yeah, and each and every App tinted (all of them) are a combination of black and the tint color, right?
If you hold an application to edit you can require FaceID to use any application now. That’s pretty sweet.
I don't like them either. Icons are square everywhere, on the Home Screen, in settings app and then you open the Control Center and some of the buttons are circle and the square ones have such a dramatic corner radius that it looks messy and dense because of the added icons on the right of the screen for different Control Center pages. The current (ios17) Control Center looks way cleaner.
Also speaking of icons - why are the dark mode icons so vibrant? Like camera and calculator icons are tottaly fine but then you have phone, FaceTime, messages and photos icons that are so colourful and vibrant. They look tacky for me. And at the same time there's maps icon with dull/darken colours (which is obvious for a DARK mode) but are these new icons supposed to be for a DARK mode or VIBRANT mode? The light mode icons are not so colourful and vibrant.
I *think* I see what you mean - you mean for the apps that have a dark and an light icon, ie Apple's own apps, it switches to the dark mode icon when you apply a tiny? If so yeah, that's true. It still tints 3rd party icons that don't have a dark background.
