In this guide, we will show you a nifty workaround using which you can fix the reverse themed icons in dark and light modes on your Pixel device. The Silicon Valley giant has recently rolled out the December Feature Drop with a few intriguing goodies down the lines. Some of the noteworthy ones include the Material You Settings redesign, shifting the position of the indicators and chips to the left, the new “Charging optimization” menu, and changes to the Themed Icons. It is the latter one though that hasn’t gone down too well with the masses.
Themed icons are now lighter than before in Dark Mode and Light Mode now displays a darker and bolder theme. [yes, you read that right, there’s no typo error!]. While it is yet to be ascertained whether it is a bug or an intended feature [keeping our fingers crossed for the latter one], we managed to find a nifty workaround using which you can revert this tweak and bring it back to its original state [the way it should function before the update]. So without any further ado, let’s check it out.
Fix Reverse Themed Icons in Dark & Light Modes on Pixel
- To begin with, open Wallpaper and Style settings.
- Then click the 3 dots in the color palette selector.
- After that, temporarily switch to a different color.
- Then toggle the “dark theme” button on/off once.
- You can now return to your preferred color palette.
That’s it. These were the steps to fix the reverse themed icons in dark and light modes on your Pixel device after the December Feature Drop. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution as soon as possible.
