How to Change App Icon Colours on Nothing Phone (3)

A general view of the Nothing Phone (3) home screen with the signature monochrome icon style.

The Nothing Phone (3) offers a unique and highly customisable user experience, including the ability to change the style of your app icons. The default Nothing OS aesthetic features a striking monochrome, or black-and-white, look. However, if you prefer the standard coloured icons or want to apply the Nothing style to more of your installed apps, you can easily switch the icon pack through the customisation settings. Follow this quick guide to tailor your home screen's look.


Steps to Change Your Icon Pack

Changing the icon pack on your Nothing Phone (3) is straightforward and can be done right from your home screen.

1. Access Customisation Settings

To begin, long-press on an empty space on your home screen. A pop-up menu will appear at the bottom of the screen.

3. Choose Your Desired Icon Style

Here, you'll see your available icon pack options, usually including the default Android style and Nothing's unique monochrome pack. You can choose from the following:

  • Select Default to revert to the standard, coloured icons for all your apps.
  • Select Nothing icon pack to apply the monochrome, pixel-art style to system apps and, in many cases, force this style onto third-party app icons for a consistent look.
