So I found out that if you apply any of these six themes:

You can get vivid icons for some of the system apps!

Here's proof to my "theory":

The default theme uses this icon pack, which doesn't have the new vibrant icons:

So here's the Vivid icons without the icon pack applied:

And here's with it applied:

So not a big change, the only differences I could notice was in the Phone, Clock, and Messages app icons. Maybe in the next security patch they'll properly give us Vivid icons for our system apps everywhere 😊

(Ignore My Files and Calculator, those are vivid regardless of the icon pack so they get a pass).

And yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

If you have too much time, come fight me in Splatoon lol. Or any other Switch game.

If I'm not mistaken, seems like only saturation changed right?

Sure, what's your friend code? I'll add you both.

And yes they're just more saturated, as far as I know the only icon that moves is the settings icon- which moves during a system update. Hopefully they'll add more moving icons in the near future.

And sounds like a nice touch for the Settings icon. We already have the Calendar and clock that changes dynamically. Could be an interesting idea to have apps change their icons when they have an ongoing activity (like S Internet icon showing a small Downloading animation on it when you dl something) instead of plain dots/badges

Yeah or have the gallery app icon spin when it's moving pictures to another album or something, spinning flower 😛
