The Nothing Phone (2) stands out for its stable and polished software, which is considered one of its significant strengths. Additionally, the phone offers several good features. Nothing is now introducing a monochrome icon pack for the Phone (2) that not only themes supported icons but also everything on the homescreen.
Leveraging Material You’s themed icons, Nothing OS 2.0 allows users to switch icons to a monochrome style. In light mode, the icons are white, while in dark mode, they appear black, aligning with Nothing’s emphasis on intentional use. Unlike Google’s implementation, Nothing’s monochrome icon pack supports all apps on the device, enhancing the overall user experience.
In general, the monochrome icon pack functions effectively. Apps that officially support themed icons will utilize them, while other apps will be automatically themed. This approach might result in occasional quirks with certain apps like games, the Nest app, Bluesky, and others, but overall, it provides a more immersive experience.
If you already own a Nothing Phone (2), you can download the monochrome icon pack for free from the Play Store. Ensure that you have Nothing Launcher v2.1.0 installed, which should come pre-loaded on the Phone (2). For Nothing Phone (1) users, access to the monochrome icon pack will be available with the release of Nothing OS 2.0, scheduled for “late August.”
