Add monochrome icon

[xmha97]

Please support the Android 13 "Themed App Icons" feature. #AdaptiveIcon

I found that some of the apps you listed don't have a specific configuration for the monochrome icon, and I don't know why the OS cannot change the icon into a monochrome one while others can. It will be much helpful if you could provide some information about it.

For testing the "Themed icons" feature, you need an Android 13 emulator (like AVD or Genymotion) or device (except Xiaomi and Huawei phones)

On the "Wallpaper and style" settings, you can enable the "Themed icons" option.

If your phone/emulator is Android 13 but it doesn't have this option, you have to install a launcher that supports this feature. (like Kvaesitso)

Now go to launcher settings and enable this feature.

Here is the official Android developer documentation on the subject

@sebastien46 Thanks. It's useful.

@wh201906 here's a mockup I made using inkscape:

I also saw that you didn't use the vector file for drawing the regular / adaptive app icon, so here's a version of that:

I would've tried making a PR but the QT Creator VCS tree is really too confusing for me 😄

To answer your original question:

• The launcher gets the monochrome / adaptive drawables from the ic_launcher.xml / ic_launcher_round.xml XML files in the mipmap-anydpi-v26 folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<adaptive-icon xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <background android:drawable="@drawable/ic_launcher_background"/> #for background, you can also use @color/...
    <foreground android:drawable="@drawable/ic_launcher_foreground"/>
    <monochrome android:drawable="@drawable/ic_launcher_monochrome"/>
</adaptive-icon>

• Then, these get their VectorDrawables in the drawable folder

• Finally, the app's icons are set in AndroidManifest.xml:

android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"

@sebastien46 Thank you so much! I'll try the information you provided.

I finally got an Android 14 device to test it. This is implemented in commit da9f2caaf14dba0fd583491605c2ced32e29b741 and it's working on my device.

@saltsoftdrink The new release is out, but it takes some time for F-Droid to build it.

Upload in release section of github

The apks of older releases are also from F-Droid. I have to wait for the apk from F-Droid otherwise the apk signature will change.

[wh201906]

The apk can be downloaded on F-Droid, SourceForge and GitHub Releases
