A bug in Android 15 QPR1 on Pixel devices inverts light and dark Themed icons. Light mode displays dark Themed icons with a lighter background. Conversely, dark mode shows light Themed icons. This issue needs a Google fix. Related news.
Key Details
- Themed icons appear inverted in both light and dark modes.
- Background lightened in light mode.
- Issue present in stable Android 15 QPR1.
- No current user fix available.
Google modified Themed icon colors in QPR1 Beta 3, making them lighter in dark mode and brighter in light mode. This change reverted in QPR2 Beta 1, suggesting the original appearance is intended. The bug likely stems from this experimentation. See macOS Sequoia for comparison.
The January security patch will hopefully resolve this. For other tech updates, see Apple's move away from Qualcomm.
