@eddyizm Sending over a complete set of assets for the Image Asset Studio. I'm a little rusty working in Studio, but if you are still having issues let me know and I can try it on my end.

@SeattleGuy Thanks for the zip. I am trying to transfer the svg xml from your previous files and stuff them into the android xml drawables, by passing the android studio import so I may be making things worse.

I am using Samsung's stock launcher and when switching to adaptive it forces the icon to live inside a "colored bubble." The circle is forced to fit a square, so it adds a really weird padding on the corners while also cutting 4 sides of the icons because they don't fit the square.

Samsung seems to not know of what color make the bubble when adaptive colors are off, because it shows as black.


I also feel that the green version is way too cyan, not because of a personal taste but because the human eye saturates really quickly with cyan.

Comparing with the other apps, I think that the colors must be "shifted" (no idea how to say it) to be more pastel. Here is a comparative of red colors for different apps:

I think that Material Design is to blame, they kinda force a specific kind of style. What I fear is that with adaptive off the icon looks more like a KitKat sort of design, perhaps having a "default adaptive" could fit better. This gets more important inside the app, because it kinda has a "default adaptive" that follows Material Design, while the icon doesn't.

I would hate to just ditch the non-adaptive icon, so perhaps it could be submitted to #399 because of its unique style. That was the cool thing about KitKat, all the apps were different and it didn't really matter "uniformity" so no app would look visually weird next to another.


I feel that a better candidate is #225 (comment), by enlarging the circles it would become "the same icon but following those weird Android color palette and style guidelines."

I really think that is my implementation. The svg's that were handed over are pixel perfect. I am going to try a few more things but the adaptive portion I really really bungled so the one in the PR is looking pretty awful.

Let me try another pass at it. I am ok with modifying the cyan color a bit, or tweaking them in general, I just want to have the geometry of it nailed down. When looking at it in higher res, I realized that the in-app icon is slightly cropped where it shouldn't be.
