How to change and customize your app icons on Samsung Galaxy
From choosing new app icons to changing the color palette, there are plenty of ways to customize the look of your Samsung Galaxy phone.
Transform your Samsung Galaxy phone into a personalized masterpiece with app icons and unique customizations. Choose from a variety of themes, each offering a distinct look, from cozy fireplaces to reimagined tourist destinations. Adjust the color scheme to match your mood or outfit, and notice the colorful Quick Panel that appears when you swipe down.
To begin customization, unlock your Galaxy phone and tap Themes on an empty Home screen. Browse the options and download the ones you like, then access Icons and Themes by pressing the Menu option. Apply your chosen theme to achieve a one-of-a-kind look.
While you can't use your own images as app icons, the Themes app provides a plethora of icons to download in the Icons section. Samsung owners also have additional customization options, such as the redesigned Quick Panel for resizing, moving, or deleting elements, and the Galaxy Wearable app, which allows watch face customization by snapping pictures of your outfit.
For more advanced customization, download Samsung's Good Lock suite from the Play Store. This app enables you to experiment with motion wallpapers, lock screen designs, and home screen changes. Download add-ons, like Theme Park, to alter individual app key colors, notifications, and Quick Panel switches.
Customization extends beyond themes with features like Home Up, which allows stickers, flexible app and widget placement, and custom gesture animations. Control speed and vibration to tailor the experience to your liking. You can also change menu and screen appearances through Settings by selecting Wallpaper and style, then activating the Color palette. Choose wallpaper and basic colors that complement your desired look, and watch as the selected colors affect various elements on your device's interface.
