… the Messages conversation shortcut for my girlfriend has made her into an ugly demon. It’s kinda crazy that Google also applies it to deep-link shortcuts as well. Feels very lazy.

      Well considering the app shortcuts/deep-link shortcuts aren’t app icons maybe Google shouldn’t have enabled Material You on them? Even if the app supports it by providing a greyscale bitmap, most of the app shortcuts icons don’t so now if you use app shortcuts heavily (which I do) your home screen is now ugly.

      And I don’t want to lose the app icon theming just to fix this. I feel like this could’ve been a beta option so I can choose to force it or not.
