Theming and icons

Change icon packs, themed icons, colors, and fonts.

Lawnchair lets you customize icons, colors, and fonts. Use these settings to match your home screen to your style.

Customize icons

Lawnchair supports two icon systems that can work together.

Icon packs

Icon packs provide a set of custom, full-color designs for your app icons.

How to apply icon packs
  1. Go to Home settings > General.

  2. Tap Icon style.

  3. Select the icon pack you want.

What does Tint with accent color do?

When turned on, Lawnchair applies your current accent color to all icons.

This creates a more uniform look, but it can override an icon pack's intended colors.

Where to find icon packs

You can find supported icon packs here:

Themed icons

Themed icons are a modern Android feature that provides single-color, monochrome versions of icons. Lawnchair recolors them to match your wallpaper and theme.

This feature works on top of your selected icon pack.

How to turn on themed icons
  1. Navigate to Home settings > General.

  2. Tap Icon style.

  3. On the screen that appears, tap Themed icon source.

  4. Tap Themed icons and choose between the following:

    • Home screen: Applies themed icons only to your home screen

    • Home screen and app drawer: Applies themed icons to both home screen and app drawer

  5. Select your desired themed icon source from the list.

For the best themed icon experience, make sure you have a compatible icon source.

Lawnicons is built for Lawnchair and works as both an icon pack and a themed icon source. See Lawnicons for details.

Per-icon customization

You can also change the icon for a specific app on the home screen or in the app drawer.

To change one icon:

  1. Long-press the app icon you want to change.

  2. Tap Customize (or the pencil icon).

  3. Tap the existing icon to open the icon editor.

    • Choose an icon from your installed icon packs.

Customize colors and theme

Lawnchair also lets you adjust its color scheme.

Adjusting accent color source

This setting controls how Lawnchair picks its main colors.

  1. Go to Home settings > General.

  2. Tap Accent color.

  3. Choose one of these options:

    1. System: Uses the colors provided by your device.

    2. Wallpaper: Uses the colors sampled from your wallpaper.

      • If you are using a live wallpaper, Lawnchair may not sample colors reliably.

    3. Custom: Lets you choose a preset or set a custom color.

Adjusting color style

If you use a non-system accent color, you can also change how Lawnchair applies it.

  1. Go to Home settings > General.

  2. Make sure Accent color is not set to System.

  3. Tap Color style.

  4. Choose a style from the list.

Common issues

After changing fonts, you may need to restart Lawnchair.

  • Go to Home settings > More .

  • Tap Restart Lawnchair.
