… the Messages conversation shortcut for my girlfriend has made her into an ugly demon. It’s kinda crazy that Google also applies it to deep-link shortcuts as well. Feels very lazy.

    Wouldn’t it be lazier if they didn’t do it? Or what’s the alternative? Personally, it would really bug me if one icon was not like all the others.

      Well considering the app shortcuts/deep-link shortcuts aren’t app icons maybe Google shouldn’t have enabled Material You on them? Even if the app supports it by providing a greyscale bitmap, most of the app shortcuts icons don’t so now if you use app shortcuts heavily (which I do) your home screen is now ugly.

      And I don’t want to lose the app icon theming just to fix this. I feel like this could’ve been a beta option so I can choose to force it or not.
