A collection of visual resources intended to alter the default appearance of application shortcuts on Android operating systems, especially those designed to emulate the visual style introduced with Android Nougat (Android N or Android 7.0) is presented. These resources typically include a variety of scalable vector graphics (SVG) or PNG files, alongside an application allowing users to apply the design to their device. These packages enable a user to customize the home screen and app drawer visuals, moving away from the manufacturer’s or operating system’s default icons.
The significance of offering alternative visuals lies in user personalization. The capacity to modify the device’s interface enhances the user experience, affording individuals the opportunity to tailor their devices to align with personal preferences or to maintain a consistent visual aesthetic across different devices and Android versions. Furthermore, these visual sets can offer a modern or unique look to devices running older Android versions, breathing new life into the user interface. The creation and distribution of these resources reflect a community-driven approach to customizing the Android experience.
