However, it can be frustrating to see old bugs pop up that were supposed to have already been fixed. Something similar seems to be happening right now with an icon theme-related color bug affecting devices running Android 16 Beta 2.<br \/>\nAndroid 16 Beta 2 prevents setting color-themed icons from \u201cWallpaper &amp; Style\u201d due to a bug<br \/>\nAndroid 16 Beta 2 just arrived yesterday, but it looks like it already needs to get a hotfix. Pixel device users have encountered a bug that prevents them from setting icon theme presets. That is, they can\u2019t \u201ccolor\u201d their icons with the accent tones extracted from their wallpaper. This is one of the best customization features on Android and a key part of Material You. The issue seems to be present only in the \u201cWallpaper &amp; Style\u201d section of your phone\u2019s settings. You can set color-themed icons from the \u201cSystem Coloring\u201d page, accessible from the three-dot menu.<br \/>\nAs you can see in the GIF below (via Android Police), the icon color presets available on the \u201cWallpaper &amp; style\u201d page simply don\u2019t respond to tapping. According to the report, you\u2019ll have to tap the option about 25 times for it to take effect. Even restarting the device doesn\u2019t help to resolve the bug, so it\u2019s up to Google to push out a fix as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Google Pixel\u2019s December 2024 Feature Drop also bugged colored icons<br \/>\nThe last time Google \u201cbroke\u201d Android\u2019s icon theme system was in the Pixel Feature Drop in December of last year. At that time, icons remained in Light Mode even if you enabled Dark Mode on your phone. You could solve the problem by switching between the two themes, but it was still annoying. Plus, Dark Mode icons appeared more \u201clit\u201d than usual. Google included a fix for the bug with the January 2025 security update. We\u2019ll have to wait and see how long it takes for the Mountain View giant to push out a fix for the \u201cbrand-new\u201d new problem.<br \/>\nAndroid 16 will bring a number of changes to all eligible devices. Beta versions have included some nice QoL improvements, such as making it easier to switch between users and access your wallet.<br \/>\nThe post Android 16 Beta 2 bug breaks color-themed icons, again appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/android-16-logo-AH-1.png\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android 16 is currently in beta, so running into potential bugs and issues could be pretty normal.
